Once or maybe twice in a lifetime, something comes along that is SO important that you have to take a stand. @NoToDigitalID @darrenpaffey @sotontimes

Keir Starmer says Britain is 'well placed to weather the energy crisis', thanks to the government's efforts over the last 2 years to get everyone used to having no money

The correct way to cross the street. 😂

Keir Starmer visited a remote little rural village and asked the inhabitants what his government could do for them... “We have two big needs,” said a village spokesman, “First, we have a hospital but no doctor.” Keir whipped out his iPhone, spoke for a while and then said, “I have sorted it out. Let me be clear, a doctor will arrive here tomorrow, you have my word. What is your other need?” “We have no mobile phone reception at all in our village.” 🤔🤣

RT @afneil: The current state of the Royal Navy: 2 aircraft carriers — neither operational. 6 Type 45 destroyers (our most powerful battle…

Governments of all colours have been criminally negligent regarding defence and energy policy for the last 30 years. They all deserve to be out of power for a generation.

Countries that unambiguously are trying to destroy Britain should face the consequences: absolute hostility from every organ of the state, suspension of all aid, suspension of all visas for any reason. We should not be pretending this is acceptable or normal.

Full term abortion is an abomination. An indescribable act of evil. Fewer than 1% of the British public support it. Yet parliament just legalised it. Britain as we knew it is finished.

I found it. The perfect representation in a way everyone can understand and couldn’t possible disagree with.

The Government will collect £331bn in income tax this year, and spend £333bn on welfare. In other words, we now spend more on people not working than we raise from those who do. And the cost? Debt per person has risen from £11.5k in 2000 (inflation adjusted) to over £41k today.

This is what Orwell warned his country about...

As a Bishop, I cannot stay silent. I have today drafted and sent an open letter to His Majesty King Charles III, the text of which reads as follows: To: His Majesty, Charles III, King of the United Kingdom and the Realms, Supreme Governor of the Church of England, Bearer of the ancient title Defender of the Faith. Your Majesty, I write to you neither as a politician nor as a commentator, but as one of your loyal subjects who, as a bishop of Christ’s Church, cannot remain silent while the Christian foundations of this kingdom are steadily dismantled. Sir, there are moments in the life of a nation when silence becomes a form of betrayal. If I refused to speak to Your Majesty now, this would be such a moment. For more than a thousand years the Crown of this realm has stood in solemn covenant with the Christian faith. The laws of this land were shaped by it. The liberties of our people were nurtured by it. The conscience of our civilisation was formed by it. From the abbeys of medieval England to the parish churches of our villages, from the preaching of the Reformers to the missionary zeal that carried the Gospel to the ends of the earth, the Christian faith has not merely influenced Britain — it has defined her. Yet today that inheritance is being quietly but deliberately eroded. Across the institutions of this nation there is a growing hostility toward the faith that built them. Christian belief is mocked in the public square. Christian morality is dismissed as intolerance. Christian institutions are pressured to surrender doctrine in order to conform to the ideology of the age. Within the very Church that bears the name of England, voices have arisen that appear more eager to mirror the spirit of the age than to proclaim the eternal truth of the Gospel. Meanwhile, beyond the walls of our churches, powerful political movements openly speak of removing Christianity from its historic place within the life of this nation. What would once have been whispered is now proclaimed openly: that Britain must become a post-Christian state. It is in this context that I write to you, Your Majesty. For the British Crown does not stand apart from this crisis. The Sovereign of this realm bears a title that is not merely historic but sacred in its origin and meaning: Defender of the Faith. Those words are not decorative. They are a charge. They speak of a monarch whose duty is not merely to preside over the ceremonies of the Church, but to stand as a guardian of the Christian inheritance of the nation. Yet many among your subjects now ask, with increasing anxiety: “Who will defend that inheritance today?” They see a nation drifting from its foundations. And they ask whether the Crown will remain silent while that inheritance is dismantled. Your Majesty, may I be so bold as to observe that your coronation oath was not a poetic formality. It was a solemn vow made before Almighty God to maintain and preserve the Protestant Reformed Religion established by law. Those words bind the conscience of the sovereign. They remind the Crown that its authority is not merely constitutional but moral. The monarch is not merely a symbol of national continuity, but a custodian of the spiritual inheritance that shaped this realm. History records moments when kings and emperors were confronted by the Church and reminded that their authority was accountable before God. In the fourth century Ambrose of Milan stood before the Emperor Theodosius I and reminded him that even the ruler of an empire must bow before the moral law of Christ. That tradition of prophetic witness has never disappeared. Nor should it. For when rulers forget the foundations upon which their authority rests, the Church must speak — not with hostility, but with holy clarity. And so, I write to say this, Your Majesty: The Christian character of this nation is under profound and accelerating assault. If the Crown does not stand visibly and courageously in defence of that inheritance, history will record that the guardians of Britain’s institutions watched in silence as the foundations were removed. The issue before us is not nostalgia. It is civilisation. Remove Christianity from the story of Britain and you do not create a neutral society — you create a moral vacuum. And history teaches us that moral vacuums are never left empty for long. Your Majesty now stands at a crossroads that few monarchs in modern history have faced. For the erosion of Britain’s Christian inheritance will not ultimately be judged by speeches made in Parliament or debates in the press. It will be judged by whether those entrusted with the guardianship of our ancient institutions chose to defend them — or merely preside over their quiet surrender. You may preside over the quiet dissolution of Britain’s Christian identity. Or you may rise to the ancient responsibility entrusted to the Crown and speak with clarity about the faith that built this kingdom. The first path requires little courage. The second will require a great deal. But it is the path that history honours. Your Majesty’s subjects are not asking for religious coercion. They are asking for leadership. They are asking that the sovereign who bears the title Defender of the Faith remember what that title means. They are asking that the Crown hear the growing cry of anguish from Christians across this land who feel that the spiritual inheritance of their nation is being surrendered without resistance. And they are asking whether the Crown will stand with them. For the faith that shaped Britain is not merely a cultural ornament. It is the wellspring from which our laws, our liberties, and our moral imagination have flowed. If it is cast aside, the nation will discover — too late — that it has severed itself from the very roots that sustained it. Your Majesty, to many the Crown is a symbol of authority. But before God it is also a symbol of stewardship. And stewardship carries with it the duty to defend what has been entrusted. May Almighty God grant Your Majesty the wisdom to discern this hour, and the courage to fulfil the sacred duty entrusted to the Crown. Yours faithfully, Bishop Ceirion H.

A single ant has 250,000 neurons. Your brain has 86 billion. That’s a 344,000x gap. And yet what you’re watching is a colony solving a category of problem that no computer can crack perfectly at scale. It’s called the Steiner tree problem. Given a set of points, find the shortest possible network connecting all of them. First posed in 1811, proved essentially impossible to solve perfectly in 1972 (the computing time grows so fast with size that the world’s fastest supercomputer stalls on a few hundred points). Still one of the hardest open problems in mathematics. Ants solve it with chemistry. When an ant walks a path, it leaves a chemical trail called a pheromone. That trail evaporates over time. Shorter paths get walked faster, so pheromone builds up before it fades. Other ants prefer stronger trails. The colony converges on the shortest route without any single ant knowing the full picture. Jean-Louis Deneubourg at the Free University of Brussels proved this in the early 1990s with a dead simple experiment: two bridges between a nest and food, one twice as long as the other. Within minutes, the colony picked the short one. In 1991, computer scientist Marco Dorigo took that discovery and turned it into an algorithm (a set of step-by-step instructions for a computer) called Ant Colony Optimization. It’s now used to route wires inside microchips with billions of transistors (one study found an 8% reduction in wire length over traditional methods), plan delivery truck routes, and manage internet traffic. The phone you’re reading this on was partially designed using math that ants figured out 100 million years before humans existed. A 2023 study out of Stanford and several other institutions found that turtle ants in the tropical forest canopy build trail networks across tangled branches and vines that approximately solve the Steiner tree problem with zero central control. No ant has any information about the full network. Each one just follows a rule: at each junction, go where the pheromone is strongest. The collective intelligence comes from thousands of these tiny decisions stacking up. Stanford biologist Deborah Gordon has studied this for decades. She compares it directly to how brains work: no single neuron tells the others what to do, but together they produce thought. A 2024 Rockefeller University study found that individual ants decide whether to leave the nest using the same yes-or-no process that brain cells use to decide whether to switch on. The colony is, in a real mechanical sense, a brain spread across thousands of bodies. In early 2025, a Weizmann Institute study pitted ant groups against human groups on a task almost identical to this video: navigating a T-shaped object through a series of obstacles. The bigger the human group, the worse they performed. Too many competing ideas about which direction to push. The bigger the ant group, the better they got. No ego, no debate, just pheromones and simple rules scaling into something that looks a lot like intelligence. 250,000 neurons each. No leader. No blueprint. Solving problems that stumped mathematicians for two centuries.

Wow. “Starmer is no Churchill”

Mass dominating Islamic prayer in Trafalgar Square is not acceptable, and we should all have the courage to say it.

@HousebotGuy @georgegalloway @grok, in percentage terms only, what is the probability that Netanyahu is dead?

For the first time in history Benjamin Netanyahu has missed two military councils in a row. He is supposedly in Israel. It is not that big of a country. He is doing “public events” on camera. and yet… is not showing up the the council. Weird, right?

HOW THEY CONTROL YOU

@sotontimes Thank you for alerting us to this. I've now researched the incident myself. SHOCKING!

Protest outside of ZARA in Bristol yesterday, after a girl went in the shop last week as she was been harassed by a gang. They sent her out and then she was beaten and had her head stamped on. The distressing footage of the attack is in the comments.

Britain nearly lost its entire army. 📰🇬🇧 May 1940. 400,000 men trapped on a beach at Dunkirk. The Navy sent everything it had. It wasn't enough. Churchill expected 30,000 saved. Out of 400,000. A phone rang in a fishing village. 📞 And another. And another. Harbours. Marinas. Rivers. Anyone with a vessel. 850 boats crossed the English Channel into a war zone. Fishing boats. Pleasure yachts. Lifeboats. Paddle steamers. One was only fourteen feet long. Civilians. No training. No weapons. No orders. The destroyers couldn't reach the beaches. Too shallow. The little boats could. They drove straight onto the sand. Pulled soldiers from the water with their bare hands. Ferried them to the destroyers. Then went back. Again, and again. ⚓ While Britain evacuated, 40,000 French soldiers held the line. They knew they would not be leaving. Churchill expected 30,000. They saved 338,000. Eleven times that. 🇬🇧 Some of those boats still sail today. Every year, they cross the Channel together. Back to Dunkirk. Because no one ordered them to go. They chose to. This is what British people do. When it matters, they show up. We think our history matters. If you think so too, help us keep it alive → proudofus.co.uk/support Be part of us. Be Proud Of Us. 🙏🇬🇧

@Thebestfigen @grok has this video been speeded up?

Wow

So with a surface fleet of only 15 — most of which are in various stages of maintenance — why does the Royal Navy still have 40 ‘core’ Admirals (Rear Admiral and above)? Almost three per ship seems a bit excessive since each ship presumably has a Captain …
