It’s not our job to integrate with our guests. It’s their job. Just as we don’t walk around Marrakesh in bikinis, we don’t expect women to walk around Britain in bin bags. This is our home. Integrate to our way of life or go home. Small minded fool.

The Palestine hunger strikers are going to die if there is no intervention from this Labour government. Keir Starmer and David Lammy, blood will be on your hands.

Everything costs more, so much more and Britain is getting poorer, so much much poorer. People can feel it - it’s a pretty dreadful combination. Food’s more expensive, energy bills soaring, a pint costs six quid outside Central London. Childcare, insurance, mortgage payments. It’s everything and it is bloody awful. Inflation MUST come down. It doesn’t feel like anyone’s got any answers. Well, there is one. The only one. Brutally slash tax, radically tear away vast swathes of the state and eventually rebuild national resilience/confidence. There is no easy solution. We are in deep, dark shit. There is no other way to describe it. It will be painful. Very painful. Politicians need to be honest about that. Britain has the highest tax burden since the Second World War. Millions are working harder than ever, yet becoming poorer every single month. Inflation runs rampant. The cruellest tax of them all. Are we surprised it’s exploded? The Government printed hundreds of billions during lockdown, shut down the economy, wrecked supply chains, raised taxes on work and investment, and then acted totally baffled when prices soared. What happens if you inject such huge amount of money into a system? It all becomes worth less. This is obvious. It’s called ‘quantitative easing’, a fancy way of saying printing money and we need to ban it. Inflation is a cancer. A tax that wipes out wages, savings, pensions. It makes life more expensive. Here is the honest truth. You cannot fight inflation by taxing people more and growing the state. You can only fight inflation by cutting the size of the state itself. If we want to bring down the cost of living, we need to start telling the truth. The state is too big, too bloated, too expensive and too incompetent. The debt is too vast. The rich don’t suffer. It’s the poor who feel it. THAT is why we must change. Urgently. In 25/26 it’s expected debt interest spending to total £111.2 billion. That’s 8.3% of total public spending and is equivalent to over 3.7% of national income. Think about that. If your family’s debt interest payments equalled that, how would you cope? Bankruptcy, is the answer. Britain is going bankrupt. We spend more on debt interest than defence. It is INSANE. We are spending too much, far too much. Try running a business like that. Good luck. How do we fix it? A pound taken by government is a pound removed from the productive economy, and fed to the unproductive state. Cut taxes on work. Income Tax down. Raise the thresholds. Farage now backtracking on this (huge error). National Insurance down. Let people keep more of what they earn. REWARD HARD WORK. Cut taxes on business. Cut Corporation Tax - lowest in Europe. Reduce Business Rates. Slash Employers’ NI so firms can hire again. Ease dividend thresholds. Tear away the frictional costs of doing business. Lubricate the system. Make Britain the easiest place in Europe to do business. Tax breaks for long term investment. When businesses produce more, supply goes up - and prices come DOWN. This is basic economics. Slash the size of the state. Brutally. And I mean brutally. Billions and billions in cuts. Right across the board - welfare in particular. If you can work, you MUST work. Support those in genuine need, but that is a vanishingly small number compared to current spend. Ban foreigners from claiming any benefits. Asylum costs, foreign aid, dependent migrants. It all has to go. Civil service pensions. Unsustainable. Need to be dealt with. It’s a time bomb. We need Government to do a small list of things, but do it well. Protect our borders, people, interests. Rebuild national resilience. Build energy independence so families aren’t battered. We import SO much energy. Drill baby, drill. Frack. Use what we have. Drive the cost of energy down, and everything else follows. This is not complicated. Food security so supply chains can’t be held hostage. GROW MORE. Cost comes down, again this is not complicated. A skilled British workforce so productivity rises and dependence on vast low-wage migration ends - target education. Reward businesses who train and develop apprentices. Deport the millions of migrants who take more than they give. It is not our responsibility to financially support much of the third world. We have our own people and our own problems, thanks. Ban money-printing, without Parliament’s express consent. Crucially, tackle crime. Give people confidence to invest and reduce insurance costs. SO important. Britain must become a country that lives within it means. Not spending more than we earn. In fact, raising enough to begin paying off that debt, and reducing those interest payments. The cost of living crisis will only be solved by stripping back the state that is crushing our country. There is no other way. The left will say ‘tax the rich’? The rich will leave. They are leaving. It’s already happening. They go, and take their tax revenue with them. This is OBVIOUS. You don't make the poor richer by making the rich poorer. Collectivism ALWAYS fails. We need cuts, cuts and then more cuts. Trust the people who actually work, build, produce and create. Give them the space they need to thrive, and we’ll all benefit. Generate wealth. Attract success. Cut inflation. Breed confidence. It’s quite straightforward. This is how we lower the cost of living. Put more money in people’s pockets. Rebuild the British economy. Make you and your family richer. It can be done, it will just take balls.

Let's not forget last years summer of chaos. The police consulted with "community Leaders" & were TOLD that they weren't needed. Not one police officer attended. One rule for one, another for the rest of us. Jess Phillips even justified this behaviour!

I've just read that along with Serco paying rent for 5 years for immigrants, they're paying all utility bills too? Where is the incentive for these people to find employment and support themselves? This has never been available to British people. Why do we give them SO MUCH? 🤔😡

An announcement. Today, I am launching a national inquiry into the rape gang scandal. It will focus on three questions - what happened, how did it happen and why was it allowed to happen? A crowdfunder has been set up, please see the link below. I will of course personally donate. A qualified panel will be appointed to oversee the inquiry, with a legal advisory team to support the panel throughout the inquiry. There will be three stages. Evidence collection, public hearings, report/publication. There will be a secure submission process for evidence, and the hearings will be live-streamed. In non-attendance, questions will still be put on the record and evidence examined. The findings will be compiled, and a report will be published. Any surplus funds raised will be donated to charities supporting victims, and every penny spent will be transparently published. Extensive discussions have taken place over the last couple of weeks in regards to the participants of the panel and of the inquiry itself - more details will be announced soon, with the option to put yourself forward. Witness protection and safeguarding will be prioritised. Finally, I would like to apologise. Promises were made by my former party about holding an inquiry, and those promises were not kept. I tried to push behind the scenes, but evidently I did not go far enough and for that I am sorry. I do not believe that making such bold claims which gave so many so much hope, and then failing to deliver is an honest way of conducting politics - particularly on an issue of this magnitude. Positive press about a potential inquiry was accepted and used for political gain by Reform and Farage, but no real action was taken. That does not sit right with me, at all. When I make a promise, I keep it. I stated on March 12th I would do this, and I am doing it. We are now ready for step one, and this is just the start of the process. If you wish to donate, especially a larger amount, please read the information on the crowdfunder page - permissible donors only (registered to vote in the UK/UK registered company). The mass rape of working class white girls by mainly Pakistani men is a rotting stain on our country’s history. This inquiry will not be able to fully deliver justice, but it can shine a light on the horror, and open people's eyes to the vast scale of the vile abuse and exploitation. We shouldn’t have to do this, it should be the Government. But as we know, that is not happening. So, that responsibility now lies with us. Any support you can give is appreciated. There will be more updates very soon. crowdfunder.co.uk/p/the-rape-gan…
