The state pension is not a random government favour, it’s the back end of a 35–40 year compulsory “contract” where people are forced to hand over National Insurance on the clear promise of a basic pension at the end. Politicians and think tanks helped design an unfunded, pay‑as‑you‑go system where today’s workers pay today’s pensioners, then have the gall to call it “unsustainable” as if the public dreamt it up. If a private firm sold you a retirement product on fixed terms, took your money for four decades, then announced at 66 that you “didn’t really need it” and would henceforth be means‑tested or frozen, they would be in court for mis‑selling and fraud. The crisis here is not pensioners “leeching off the young”, it’s a political class that built a Ponzi‑style NI system, diverted the proceeds for other spending, and now wants to default on the people who kept their side of the bargain. You do not blame the victims of a defective product for believing the brochure; you go after the people who wrote it.

@ygmstv6397fhdjk You're in Africa. You're scammers. I have reported you.

💔 Say a prayer for little Wall-E 💔 This precious baby is going in for eye enucleation surgery tomorrow! He is so small that we hoped to wait until he hit the 2-pound mark, but his ophthalmologist says it cannot wait any longer.

New arrival at Bradford Cat Watch Rescue and Sanctuary. Despite a couple of days ago, me stating that I couldn't take any more complex cases at this time , I couldn't leave poor Frankie helpless. Its a complex story so bear with me.

I’m sick and tired of being told to accept every culture but my own.

Very Important Message!! Do NOT, and I repeat do not buy plants treated with Neonicotinoids. Bees take the pollen back to the hive and feed it to the brood. This is a number one cause of the colony collapse. It's important to NOT buy these plants! Make sure to share this post!

New arrival at Bradford Cat Watch Rescue and Sanctuary. This is Kuga. We were contacted this morning about an injured cat in a school playground in BD5.

New arrival at Bradford Cat Watch Rescue and Sanctuary. This is Little Miss Sunshine. LMS was dropped off at a vets today as a poorly stray. She has no chip and has clearly been struggling a while as she is skin and bone.... and VERY jaundiced.

Raven feet! They are just amazing, as are their beaks. They are just the perfect specimens, but I am a tad biased 😃

Rupert stood up in Parliament today and spoke for millions of British women who feel intimidated by the increasing number of foreign male gangs plaguing our streets. What did other MPs do? Jeer him. Insult him. Attack him. Restore Britain will protect British women.

Education is important, but Ancient English Woodland is importanter

Standing up in Parliament today, listening to these pathetic MPs jeer and insult me when I voice serious concerns that millions of British women are feeling across the country, I felt so ashamed to sit in that building with those people. This is not complicated. Countless foreign men from cultures and religions which treat women like shit are now roaming our streets - whether they arrived legally or illegally, the point remains. Wilfully imported by Conservative, Labour and Reform politicians. All of them have blood on their hands. Afghans, Somalians, Albanians, Sudanese, Pakistanis, Eritreans. The importation list goes on and on… They drink, they loiter, they spit, they intimidate, they harass. They make life hell for so many women and girls across Britain. It is NOT normal. Do not accept it as normal. These are our towns, and I want them back. I feel very grateful that there is now a political party with the balls to not only outline the problem, but the determination to actually do something about it. That party is Restore Britain. We are going to take our country back. I have never felt more determined.
