I've never seen a more implausible image. How many hours did he spend folding these leaflets? This is an insult to our intelligence.

A minimum wage of £15 would end my coffee shop, it would have to close, as would many other businesses. I’ll explain for the economically illiterate. Staff costs are currently half our costs, a £15 minimum wage is actually more than £15 an hour for the company, because you have to add: - 12.07% holiday - Sick pay - Maternity pay if and when required - National insurance - Pension contributions These costs would mean the shop loses money because remember, energy costs are up, rates are up, regulations are up. Now you can pass these costs onto the consumer - that would mean charging a lot more for coffee, people won’t pay it. The likes of Starbucks and Costa can, because they have economies of scale. The independent doesn’t. Now the little socialist will say well this is your fault, if you can’t run a business that can afford to pay its staff properly, but the little socialist has never run a business and does not understand the dynamics. Now I could pay some staff off and fill those hours myself or reduce us to one staff member during certain periods - but this proves the point that a minimum wage costs jobs. There was a time when these jobs were done by kids, perhaps on the weekend, paid a lower wage, no holiday and no silly employment rights. Perhaps they were even paid cash. The dynamic worked and small businesses like this could operate. It was also a great first job. Sadly now it isn’t worth employing entitlement youngsters at this level of pay. So alas, I don’t need the stress, the business would close, a number of jobs would be lost. Economics is about understanding these dynamics, no vibes. The cost of living is not solved through passing on inflation to the business, it is solved by ending high inflation and creating prosperity. This is what socialists don’t understand, they can’t create prosperity, they can only destroy it.

I don’t think the next pro-Palestine march should be banned. I think it should be policed and scrutinised to within an inch of its life. I think there should be an overwhelming police presence, call in the army if need be. And any fucker or group that chants for the death of Jews or jihad or supports Hamas or any terrorist group, holds up an antisemitic placard or anything that could be considered incitement or breaking the law including holding a flag of the Iranian regime or the Ayatollah if the IRGC are proscribed in time, the police get straight in there and pull them out and detain or at the very least get their details and collect evidence to see if a crime has been committed and they can be prosecuted. And anyone who tries to stop them is immediately arrested for interference. At the end that’ll leave about three people. And let’s see how many people turn up to the next one if they know they’ll now be held accountable for their incitement to violence. It’ll then be very clear that these marches were never about calling for peace for Palestinians, otherwise there would be peace signs and condemnations of Hamas, they were always just an excuse for Jew haters to gather and spread their bigotry.

In 2014, while Hamas terrorists fired thousands of rockets at Jewish civilians, including kindergartens, Shabana Mahmood, the current UK Home Secretary, stood on stage and openly supported them. She called the rocket-firing Gazans “her brothers and sisters.” She didn’t condemn the Islamic terrorism or call for peace. Instead, she outlined a strategic plan: use Muslims who had immigrated to the West (like her own parents) as an economic weapon against Israel by organizing boycotts of Jewish-made products to financially weaken the Jewish state. She bragged publicly about being part of a riot squad that shut down London stores for five hours until they removed Jewish-made products from Israel. This was never about justice. It was about partnering with genocidal terrorists to help Hamas slaughter more Jews. Shabana Mahmood actively worked to advance Hamas’s genocidal agenda so Muslim terrorists could annihilate Israel and its Jewish population. Today, this same woman is the UK Home Secretary, responsible for the safety of British Jews. Let that sink in. The Muslim woman who sided with Hamas against Israel and plotted to weaken it economically is now in charge of protecting Jewish communities in Britain. This is not just absurd. This is dangerous.

Mahmood should be nowhere near government in the UK. We need a British patriot as Home Secretary. Not a Hamas loving Pakistani.

Together, we will build a stronger Britain.
