It' a funny old world, I have just received an e-mail from Octopus to tell me that from the 1st, April my energy prices will be reduced saving me £130pa. So when others go up, mine go down.
I am on a fixed tariff contract and the reduction of the green levy brings my costs down. Since this reduction is only PART of the green levy it shows very clearly what this levy does to our energy costs, and why we have the highest energy prices in the world.
Surely this highlights the stupidity of this governments energy policy because it is difficult to see how they can claim to be trying to bring down the cost of living for "working people" while soaking them with a levy that achieves nothing other than give Miliband the opportunity to waste more of our money.

Prince Harry's just made a huge mistake

YouGov shown to be deliberately bias.

YouGov has backed down in a row with Nigel Farage after the Reform leader accused the pollster of underplaying his party’s popularity.

The polling company has agreed to change the way it publishes its results after Mr Farage accused the firm of being “deceptive”. It consistently placed Reform around five percentage points lower than other surveys on Westminster voting intention.

He said the company was breaking transparency rules set out by the opinion polling watchdog and, after a lengthy public row, YouGov has backed down.

Nigel Farage told The Telegraph: “YouGov were deliberately giving a misleading picture and I’m pleased to say that, because of our complaint, it will now be corrected. The British Polling Council should not allow this behaviour.”

YouGov is arguably Britain’s best-known political pollster and the fact that it was showing a much smaller lead for Reform over Labour, the Conservatives and the Greens than rival polling firms.

Mr Farage took issue with the fact that YouGov did not also publish the underlying data on which party people favoured at a national level.

A leading pollster from another polling firm said: “This is a pretty major shift from YouGov. From an industry standpoint, it is definitely welcome news: the modelling they are doing is unusual, so the more transparency on that the better.”

They are trying desperately to underplay the popularity of Reform.

The double standards of this government

Police make arrests at 'hate rally' - as pro-Iran demonstrators declare 'boom boom Tel Aviv'.

Thousands of pro-Iran demonstrators gathered for an Al-Quds 'hate rally' in London, with 1,000 riot police being placed on alert.

Demonstrators congregated on the South Bank of the Thames for prayers and brandished placards declaring 'boom boom Tel Aviv'.

Chants of 'from the river to the sea' and 'Israel is a terror state' could be heard as people held pictures of the assassinated Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and his successor, Mojtada Khamenei.

Bobby Vylan - one half of the punk rap duo Bob Vylan - repeated his controversial Glastonbury chant of 'death to the IDF' following a ranting speech at the rally and told the crowd the West was being run by 'cold-hearted monsters'.

He also accused the government of 'gaslighting' protesters and branded the police 'pigs'.
'These pigs you see here today are here on the orders given to them by the coward Met Commissioner Mark Rowley,'
'And I would like to conclude with Death, Death, Death, to the IDF.'

Sikh restaurant owner, Harman Singh Kapoor, in London who was threatened by Muslims (over his display of sign outside restaurant) has been arrested over a social media post.

Three years ago, he refused to sell halal meat in his restaurant. That was his business decision. That choice destroyed him. 100+ people attacking him over three years. His restaurants forced to close after 16 years in business. His home attacked. Police called repeatedly. Zero arrests. Now, he took to social media, saying he was willing to pick up arms to defend himself and his family.

Heed the words from the horse's mouth....

How much further will Labour bend over backwards to appease the Muslim vote.

What ever happened to integration? or was that meant for us!?

Bridget Phillipson urged by Tories to step in and stop schools following controversial guidance that says pupils should not draw pictures of Jesus - in case they offend Muslims.

The document, called Sharing the Journey, also warns staff against holding dance classes that ‘needlessly conflict with religious beliefs, for example by expecting students to play parts that may seem to compromise their faith’.

And it tells schools that Muslim parents ‘may object’ if boys and girls take part in mixed sports and states: ‘Where it is possible, swimming could be arranged in single-sex groups.’

A Mother's Day Poem — “The Hands That Held Me”

Your hands were the first horizon I knew,
warm as dawn, steady as the tide’s return.

They cupped my smallest sorrows,
and stitched my laughter into the seams of each day.

You taught me that love is not only spoken—
it is folded into bread,
mended into torn sleeves,
carried in the quiet weight of waiting.

Even now, when the world feels wide and cold,
I find your voice in the hush between heartbeats,
reminding me that I was never alone,
that I was always enough.

So today, I bring you my thanks—
not wrapped in ribbons,
but in the truth you planted in me:
that love, once given,
is never lost.

A mother whose daughter was murdered by an illegal Channel migrant has blamed Sir Keir Starmer, saying that she has been handed a “life sentence”.

Siobhan Whyte wants to know why Deng Chol Majek, a Sudanese migrant, was allowed to remain in Britain after being refused asylum in Germany and Italy, where he landed. In a premeditated act of violence, he stabbed her 27-year-old daughter, Rhiannon, a mother herself, to death after stalking her from the asylum hotel where she worked.

“Why was he denied asylum but allowed here? Surely that should have been looked into?”

She is demanding that ministers close the borders to illegal migrants to prevent a repeat of what happened to Rhiannon.

“Starmer wants to go out there and apologise to Epstein’s victims but I don’t care. What about our women and children? What about my daughter? What about my grandson who’s got to grow up without a mother?” she said.

Asked what message she would have for the Prime Minister, she said: “I would want to know why he’s still allowing it. I know it was the government before him but why is he not stopping it? He’s allowing them to take over our country and, in the meantime, they’ve taken my daughter. So I blame him for that.

“The government should close the borders and send them back. Why are they coming over here? I know, it’s because the UK will give everything freely. But I’ve got to live with this for the rest of my life. You know, my six-year-old grandson’s going to live without his Mum.”

Starmer! The reason he isn’t committing to action against Iran, comes down to a few things.
First, he doesn’t want to risk offending sections of the Muslim community in this country. Second, the reality is that we barely have a functioning army anymore. Underfunding and neglect have reduced us to more of a defence force than a true fighting force, and we’ve effectively shot ourselves in the foot and left the country vulnerable.

There’s also another point people aren’t talking about. If things escalated and the government needed veterans to return to service, I honestly don’t believe many would answer that call. Not because they don’t care about the country, but because they don’t trust the government behind the decisions. Too many veterans feel they could be asked to do a job today and then, 20 years later, end up being dragged through the courts for it.
I also think Starmer knows this. I think he knows that if there was a call to mobilise veterans, many wouldn’t answer and that would be embarrassing for the government. That could be another reason why he isn’t even considering mobilisation.

And the truth is, no soldier wants to be sent abroad when they feel their own homeland is becoming less secure.
These are dangerous times, and the last thing this country needs right now is weak leadership. We need serious change in government before the situation gets any worse.

Sweden looks into the abyss....

The Scandinavian nation of 10.6 million people is facing a national crisis because of record numbers of immigrants.

Sweden carries the dubious distinction of having the highest rate of gangland killings in Europe. It boasts the lowest average age of serious offenders, with children in their low teens being arrested for murder. Increasing segments of suburbs are officially classified as “especially vulnerable areas,” where it is “hard, bordering on impossible” for the police to operate. In layman’s terms, these are no-go zones, where local clans rule and where first responders will not enter without flak jackets and police escort.

Bit gloomy today

But don't worry, because I'll make it even gloomier. I have a big disagreement with @adler (the willing murderer of boat people), he says there are no women and children in those photos of boats (he doesn't realise they are AI). Followers will remember I revealed the plan to send families back with £40,000, and a quick google will show the percentage of boat people that are women and children.
More bad/racial news latter.

Soft touch Britain not protecting It's women and children.

He was unconditionally bailed to next appear for a pre-trial preparation hearing at Woolwich Crown Court on April 7.

Adebayo Adeyemi, a 58-year-old man residing in Dartford, Kent, is currently facing a staggering 33 charges related to sexual assaults against women and girls in south London. These serious charges encompass a range of heinous acts, including six counts of rape and 21 instances of sexual assault, allegedly committed over a prolonged period from 2003 to 2019. The Metropolitan Police have confirmed that all of the victims are female, with the cases shedding light on disturbing patterns of behavior that have now come to fruition in the courtroom.

Unconditional bail allows a defendant to remain free while awaiting trial or further court proceedings, without being subject to additional conditions such as curfews, reporting to a police station, or surrendering a passport. The only obligation is to appear in court when required.

"Unconditionally bailed, So he can carry on his depraved actions until his trial !!!???

Ex-Royal Navy warship commander slams Starmer as HMS Dragon farce sees Macron humiliate UK.

France's response to the war in the Middle East has shown up "embarrassing" Britain, a former commander has said. Emmanuel Macron has ordered almost half a dozen French warships, including an aircraft carrier, to waters around the region as part of defensive support to allies under threat from Iranian retaliatory attacks.

The Royal Navy, meanwhile, still has not sent a single warship to the region and its last remaining vessel in the Gulf returned to Portsmouth on Monday after making the journey back home on a heavy lift vessel. Tom Sharpe, who commanded four warships during a 27-year career in the Navy, questioned Britain's preparedness and agreed France's rapid reaction had exposed Sir Keir Starmer who has been accused of being "weak" and "too slow". Speaking to the Express, Mr Sharpe said: "There's just no way around that [France has showed up the UK]."

Eight frigates and two amphibious helicopter carriers are heading to the waters.

The Charles de Gaulle aircraft carrier has already arrived in the Eastern Med to help protect Cyprus after drones and missiles were fired towards the island as the conflict broke out.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are scheduled to visit Australia next month for a series of private, business, and philanthropic engagements.
But the Sussexes' have been dealt a humiliating blow, after being quizzed about their visit Down Under, which has been dubbed by commentators as a "quasi royal tour".

The royal biographer questioned their decision about travelling to Australia but claimed it's a bid to raise their profile in order to remain in the public eye.
They are obviously trying to promote themselves and they need to keep a high profile in order to make money and raise their profile in order to remain in the public eye.

Asked whether King Charles would be happy about their upcoming trip and their recent travels to Jordan, which he dubbed a "quasi royal tour".
"I think the king has probably slightly washed his hands of them," Ingrid claimed, "he's got plenty of other things to worry about it, than what Harry and Meghan are doing at this moment."

The Duchess of Sussex is reportedly looking to expand her As Ever business venture to Australia before she starts selling any of her products in the UK.

For Meghan, the private business meetings will focus on how she might expand her As ever-branded lifestyle products outside the USA for the first time.

The expansion comes after her investors, Netflix drops her, who previously suppoted her "As Ever brand" during its first year.
Seems like the bubbles burst

Seven straight days of small boat Channel crossings despite crackdown.

Britain has recorded seven consecutive days of small boat crossings for the first time this year.

Some 1,200 migrants have crossed the English Channel so far in March, bringing the 2026 total to 3,409, according to Home Office figures.

It comes despite Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood last week announcing a string of new measures designed to crack down on illegal immigration.

They include changes to the refugee status system, paying failed asylum seekers up to £10,000 each to leave the UK ("more of an incentive than a deterrent Just hop back on a dinghy and come back") and stripping those found working illegally of their rights to taxpayer-funded accommodation.

Dinghy crossings this month began on Tuesday, March 3 when 204 people made the trip from France in three boats.

Daily arrivals continued with 275 migrants arriving on Wednesday, 66 on Thursday, 157 on Friday, 114 on Saturday and 75 on Sunday.
On Monday, 309 people landed in Britain on four boats.

We will not truly secure our borders unless we leave the ECHR! this has been proven time and time again.

Multiculturalism, don't you just love it.
Bringing their own grievances to our streets!

Chaos erupted in London last week after a gang of Muslim youths attacked peaceful worshippers at a Hindu festival, leading to just one arrest.

The incident occurred on March 3 at an event celebrating the festival of Holi outside the Harrow Civic Centre, which lies directly opposite Harrow Central Mosque.

The event had around 1,000 people in attendance.

However, organisers said chaos erupted just after 8.30pm when three teenagers - turned up and switched off the event's sound system.

Shri Rajrajeshwar said: "They chucked the speakers on the ground and ran away. The speakers are now broken, They came from the mosque.

He added: "Five minutes later they returned with 15 to 20 boys, some in balaclavas... they threw beers cans into the fire, threw glass bottles and hurled barriers on the ground.

"The Sikh security guard went over and they tried to harm him as well.

"They wanted to fight and we were trying to defend ourselves. It got out of control so we called the police."
Despite up to 20 attackers being present, only one arrest has been made.

Nigel Farage launched a blistering attack on Prime Minister Keir Starmer, claiming Britain has "upset the Americans" and been left "friendless" on the world stage amid the escalating Iran conflict.

Speaking during a fiery interview, the Reform UK leader criticised the Government's decision not to fully back the US during its military action against Iran. Nigel Farage said: "Not to support America when it asks for support is a pretty extraordinary thing to have done.

He continued: "The British PM on the world stage - he's upset the Americans, he's upset the Cypriots - he's upset the Gulf states he's pretty friendless at the moment." Farage also suggested relations between Downing Street and the White House have deteriorated dramatically. "I think the personal relationship between Keir Starmer and Trump has gone," he said.

Starmer has refused to join U.S. The decision sparked criticism from Donald Trump, who previously accused the British prime minister of offering support only after the conflict was effectively over.
"The United Kingdom, our once Great Ally, maybe the Greatest of them all, "That's OK, Prime Minister Starmer, we don't need them any longer - But we will remember. We don't need people that join Wars after we've already won!"

Farage firther criticized Starmer for not changing his stance, "even now, despite the fact that we've got an RAF base in Cyprus that's been under attack, we've got allies of ours in the Gulf that are under attack. He also warned tensions with Washington are being fuelled by the government's plan to hand sovereignty of the Chagos Islands - home to the key Diego Garcia military base - to Mauritius.

Starmer has argued a lease-back deal would secure the future of the UK-US base, but Farage said the move risks weakening Western control over the strategic site.

He said: "Outside of America itself, Diego Garcia is the most important base you've got in the whole world."

Warning about Mauritius' stance on the Iran strikes, he added: "If Trump initially had problems with the Brits over using the base, just think what it will be like with the heavily Chinese-influenced Mauritians."

One in four settled migrants claim benefits: UK becomes world's cash machine.

Government figures have laid bare the scale of benefit claims among non-EU migrants with settled status in Britain - with analysis suggesting roughly one in four is drawing Universal Credit, fuelling Tory demands for an immediate overhaul of the system over fears the UK has become a "cash machine for the world."

The raw numbers come from the Department for Work and Pensions, which recorded 179,482 people holding indefinite leave to remain outside the EU Settlement Scheme and on Universal Credit in December 2024. Set against the Migration Observatory's estimate of 720,500 non-EU citizens with settlement status at the same point, the figures point to around a quarter of that population receiving handouts.

The trajectory is what alarms critics most. Home Office projections put the number of people set to receive settled status between 2026 and 2030 at 1.6 million. Carry the current claiming rate forward and close to 400,000 of that group would be drawing Universal Credit before the decade is out - building toward a welfare bill that could approach £5.5billion annually by 2030.

"People who come to the UK should be contributing, not drawing benefits."

Fury over Labour's 'double standards' as 'Islamist extremists' and their lefty supporters set to march on London.

A block of 90 MPs and Lords have signed a letter urging Labour to ban a planned march in London which they claim supports the brutal regime in Iran.

in a letter to the Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood peers and politicians have said the demonstration is part of an international campaign established in 1979 by Iran's first Supreme Leader Ruhollah Khomeini to advance Islamist ideological aims. In previous rallies there have been signs the march also supports the Lebanon terrorist group, Hezbollah.

In October, the Charity Commission said in a statement it was engaging with the Islamic Human Rights Commission. The regulator has previously issued an Official Warning to the charity on March 28, 2023 in part about how it managed its relationship with the non-charitable company.

One of the signees, Lord Wasserman, former Government Adviser on Policing and Crime, said: "The Al Quds march has a record of extremist symbolism, support for proscribed terrorist organisations and rhetoric that causes real fear and intimidation for the Jewish community. Allowing it to proceed through central London at a time of heightened tensions risks undermining public confidence in the authorities' ability to keep our streets safe."

"Freedom of protest matters, but it cannot be used as cover for intimidation or the promotion of extremist causes. The Home Secretary and the Metropolitan Police should take a clear-eyed view of the risks and stop this march going ahead."

Baroness Arlene Foster, former First Minister of Northern Ireland, added: "There is a clear double standard at play. When the authorities believe a march by far-right groups could provoke serious disorder the police step in and stop it.

"Yet when Islamist extremists want to parade through central London under the banner of the Al Quds march, suddenly the threshold for action seems much higher.

"This event has repeatedly been associated with support for proscribed terrorist organisations, antisemitic rhetoric and intimidation directed at the Jewish community. Allowing it to proceed sends a deeply troubling message about whose safety and concerns are being taken seriously."

Labour desperate to secure the Muslim vote.

You make your own luck in life, so it’s hardly surprising Rachel Reeves has been so short of it. When you go to the country pledging no new taxes on “working people”, then hit them with £75billion in just 18 months, you don’t deserve much sympathy. If you try to snatch the winter fuel payment from single pensioners on as little as £11,350 a year, no amount of luck can save you. If you drive up unemployment by slapping crippling taxes on jobs, you’re on your own. And if you deliver a Budget that plunges the economy into panic and stagnation, luck walks out the door.

Reeves and Keir Starmer always knew the first couple of years in power would be painful, as voters discovered what Labour really had in store for them after all those soothing pre-election promises. But they hoped that by the time the next election rolled around in 2029, voters might finally feel a little better off. That’s why they planned to hammer the cost-of-living message this year.

Falling inflation would have opened the door for further interest rate cuts, easing pressure on businesses, consumers and homeowners. Lower rates would also have reduced gilt yields and government borrowing costs, giving Reeves a little more fiscal headroom. With luck, she might even have avoided new tax rises in the next Budget. Although knowing Reeves, she'd probably have hiked them anyway.

Reeves was dying to claim the credit for falling inflatino, but the truth is it would have fallen much faster if she hadn’t piled on the tax hikes while handing the public sector inflation-busting pay increases. In Europe, interest rates hit 2% months ago. In Britain they remain stuck around 3.75%, thanks to her.

It's not going to fall now. Instead, it will rocket back up. Labour didn’t start the war in Iran. But Reeves has left us horribly exposed to the financial fallout.

Reeves repeatedly insists she's “restored stability” to the public finances. Yet growth has ground to a halt, and the UK’s debt and deficit remain sky high.

And since Labour’s backbenchers refuse to tolerate spending cuts while the bond market balks at lending even more, the burden may fall on taxpayers again. This autumn's Budget could be another horror show. Let’s hope this is a short war, the Chancellor’s luck won’t survive a long one. Nor will the UK econom

My friend working for the NHS (Edited)
Yesterday my friend popped in, she had had a bad week and was in despair of the way the hospital in Chertsey is being run. Apart from people jumping the exceedingly long queues by paying privately for a consultation, then telling the consultant that they can’t afford private treatment so the consultant tells my friend to put this patient to the top of the list. My friend has been in tears as a 9 year old with cancer isn’t getting treatment and keeps being overlooked. The nine year old now wants to die as does a 14 year old pregnant girl. So the hospital decided to put on clinics at the weekends. My friend was thrilled as there are thousands on the waiting list, but no they’re going to take new patients as it looks better on their government waiting list chart! Many of her colleagues are so unhappy that they have decided to leave as figures are being massaged to look as if things are improving when they’re not.

Britain to get an 'anti-Muslim hostility tsar' under new Labour plans.

"Desperately trying to reclaim the Muslim vote from the Greens"

Keir Starmer is poised to appoint an "anti-Muslim hostility tsar" alongside the government's new definition of Islamophobia. The plans are due to be outlined on Monday as part of Labour's new cohesion strategy, despite concerns of the Prime Minister introducing "blasphemy laws".

A leaked document, features a crackdown on extremism and names Islamists as the biggest threat to community cohesion. It also outlines fresh demands that new arrivals in Britain seek to integrate and speak good English.

The report states clearly that Islamists are responsible for three-quarters of the police's counterterror workload and 94% of all terror-related deaths in the past 25 years.

The plan also rejects calls, predominantly from British Muslims, for blasphemy laws in the UK.

Following the case of the religious studies teacher at Batley Grammar school, who was forced into hiding after showing caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad, the document promises to "stand against those who try to intimidate, threaten and harass others because they are offended by so-called 'blasphemy'. We do not recognise blasphemy law in the UK."

Further powers will be established to close extremist charities and suspend trustees with "unspent hate crime convictions", to "strengthen monitoring" of non-violent extremism in universities and to exclude hate preachers from the UK.

Sometimes when reading the news I have to check whether the item is referring to the UK.

Leeds have called for their supporters to 'respect' the Ramadan pause which players will take when they host Norwich City at Elland Road on Sunday afternoon in the fifth round of the FA Cup.

The Premier League confirmed this month that Ramadan breaks would be used in matches again this season to allow players to break their fast during the holy month, which runs from February 17 to March 19.

Given sunset in the UK ranges from around 5PM to 6.30PM during this period, the games that are affected are 5.30pm kick-offs on a Saturday and the 4.30pm kick-off on a Sunday.

Simon Jordan queried the significance of an immediate pause, instead suggesting that those breaking their fast wait until 'half-time'.

Can you F ing believe this, what the hell!!!!

Asylum seeker families offered £40k to leave Britain.

Asylum-seeking families are to be offered up to £40,000 to leave Britain under a scheme announced by Shabana Mahmood on Thursday.

The Home Secretary is to launch a pilot where up to £10,000 per person will be given to families if they agree to return to their home country within seven days.

Around 150 families are expected to take part in the trial under which a mother, father and two children could get a maximum of £40,000.

It will be targeted at families whose initial asylum application has been rejected, have failed in their appeal against their removal and have no outstanding live claims that would prevent them from leaving.
"If that's the situation why pay them? just deport them"!!! No doubt they will use the money to get a dinghy back to the UK or in the back of a lorry and then they will receive another £40,000 to leave again nice little earner!!!

Reform storms to double by-election victory as it bounces back from
Gorton defeat✔️
👏👏👏
Reform UK has stormed to another pair of emphatic by-election victories as the insurgent party's popularity continues to soar. Nigel Farage's party has annihilated opponents in many recent contests for council wards and divisions, winning 63 new seats since the July 2024 General Election.

Many of those have come at the expense of the embattled Labour Party, which has lost 51 councillors as Sir Keir Starmer's Government lurches from crisis to crisis. The Tories have also lost 23 seats. Reform's march continued this week as it scooped the Coggeshall ward on Braintree council with 30.7% of the vote, which it hailed as a "big win in Priti Patel's constituency"

Sharing a meal


The old man placed an order for one hamburger , French fries and a drink.

He unwrapped the plain hamburger and carefully cut it in half , placing one half in front of his wife.

He then carefully counted out the French fries , dividing them into two piles and neatly placed one pile in front of his wife.

He took a sip of the drink , his wife took a sip and then set the cup down between them. As he began to eat his few bites of hamburger , the people around them were looking over and whispering.

Obviously they were thinking , 'That poor old couple - all they can afford is one meal for the two of them.'

As the man began to eat his fries a young man came to the table and politely offered to buy another meal for the old couple. The old man said , they were just fine - they were used to sharing everything..

People closer to the table noticed the little old lady hadn't eaten a bite. She sat there watching her husband eat and occasionally taking turns sipping the drink.

Again , the young man came over and begged them to let him buy another meal for them. This time the old woman said 'No , thank you , we are used to sharing everything.'

Finally , as the old man finished and was wiping his face neatly with the napkin , the young man again came over to the little old lady who had yet to eat a single bite of food and asked 'What is it you are waiting for?'

She answered, 'the teeth'.

Come on Nige, get your mate Donny to rescue us.

Pay reparations to Palestine for British 'war crimes', Labour MPs tell Starmer.

Sir Keir Starmer is under pressure from Labour MPs to pay reparations to Palestine and apologise for Britain’s part in “historic war crimes”.

In a letter to the Prime Minister, almost 20 backbench Labour MPs have demanded he apologise for Britain’s decision to withdraw from Palestine in 1948, which led to the formation of Israel.

They also claimed that British forces murdered and tortured Palestinians while the state was under British control between 1917 and 1948 and that Sir Keir should apologise “so we can move towards healing this open wound”.

The letter, seen by The Telegraph, was signed by 18 Labour MPs and one Peer. They include serial rebels John McDonnell and Richard Burgon – both of whom served in Jeremy Corbyn’s shadow Cabinet – but also a number of MPs from the 2024 intake.
It comes at a time when the Prime Minister’s authority lies in tatters and is demonstrative of how emboldened members of the Left of his party feel.

Labour’s support slumped to 16 per cent, five points behind the Greens and seven behind Reform UK. The pollster said it had never recorded a lower score for Labour in its 26-year history.

It led to calls from within the party to move further to the Left.

HEAVEN HELP US!!!!

Zack Polanski 'laughed' at Churchill vandalism fury – then voted AGAINST condemning it. Green leader voted against London Assembly motion after the iconic monument was shamefully defaced. "Bastard!" God help us if they ever get into power.

Green Party leader Zack Polanski laughed as colleagues condemned the desecration of Winston Churchill's statue, the Daily Express can reveal. The politician was seen sniggering as London Assembly members raged over the vandalism carried out by hard-Left activists last month.

Mr Polanski, who earns more than £66,000 a year as an Assembly Member, was spotted rolling his eyes when the motion to condemn the attack was read out. He then voted against it – to the horror of members who had assumed it would pass unanimously.

Assembly Member Susan Hall, was left "shaking with rage". She said: "He was sat there laughing at those of us who are outraged by the desecration of Churchill's statue."

Speaking at Thursday's meeting, fellow Green Assembly Member Zoe Garbett defended the act of vandalism that caused fury from veterans and politicians at the time. Ms Hall hit back, saying "the rule of law is a cornerstone of our system and those who break the law must face consequences".

Criticism came in from Parliament as well, with MP Gareth Bacon saying the vote exposed the Greens as "unpatriotic".

Anjem Choudary’s ‘right-hand man’ calls for sharia in Britain.

A convicted terrorist and key lieutenant of hate preacher Anjem Choudary has been using social media to demand the imposition of sharia in Britain.

Mizanur Rahman, who was jailed alongside Choudary in 2016 for expressing support for the banned Islamic State group, has been exploiting YouTube and TikTok to preach radical Islam and claims sharia - the Islamic legal and ethical system - would eradicate crime and save the NHS.

In one video, Rahman, who was Choudary’s right-hand man, criticises the Muslim mayors of London and New York for failing to introduce sharia in their respective cities.

During a discussion posted on YouTube, Rahman, who uses the name Abu Baraa, remarks: “When you eradicate things like alcohol and drugs from society, when you eradicate the opportunities given to predators, you create a safer environment for everybody.

“We have always seen that crime is dramatically reduced, almost eradicated, when we have sharia law and people are able to live safe lives, and that is what the difference would be in London.

“Women would feel safe to go out in the streets and would be able to walk without having to worry about sexual harassment or violence against them in the way they do now.”

During a conversation, Rahman suggests to Zohran Mamdani, the recently elected mayor of New York and Sadiq Khan, the Mayor of London, are not real Muslims because they have not sought to introduce sharia. “We must acknowledge what they’ve done, and we must rise to change them and remove them from authority.”

"What a load of hogwash. Tell that to the women in Muslim countries.
Another one that should be deported"

Gang that used drones for prison drops jailed. 👍✔️

A gang that used drones to smuggle drugs, weapons and mobile phones into prisons has been jailed.

An estimated 75% of drone drops across London's prisons were due to the seven men who targeted prisons including Wormwood Scrubs, Brixton, Pentonville and Wandsworth. The men would travel by car to the prisons, often in the early hours of the morning, and fly packages filled with contraband through cell windows.

CCTV footage shows some of the gang attaching fishing wire to a drone which was tied to a package and melted using a lighter to secure it. This was then flown to the prisoners in their cells.

The gang also targeted prisons in Norwich, Leicester, Onley in Northamptonshire and Bedford.

Shafaghatullah Mohseni, 29, Hashim Al-Hussaini, 28, Mohammed Hamoud, 22, Faiz Salah, 29, Zahar Essaghi, 51, Mustafa Ibrahim, 30, and Emanuel Fisniku, 25, were sentenced at Harrow Crown Court.

Det Insp John Cowell said: "This highly organised gang thought they were outsmarting the police and prison authorities. What they didn't know is they were subject to sustained specialist surveillance by Met officers."

The sentences for the other six men who worked as drone pilots, co-pilots, drivers and lookouts, were as follows:

Hashim Al-Hussaini, of Kenton, who acted as a lookout: 33 months

Mohammed Hamoud, of, Kenton, driver and received money: 33 months

Zahar Essaghi, of Colindale, driver: 33 months

Faiz Salah, of Colindale, driver and received money: 31 months

Mustafa Ibrahim, of Harrow, driver who used his own car: 30 months

Emanuel Fisniku, of Islington: 27 months

How much of that term will they serve six months. Bound to be let out early.
Good little earner.

Hello everyone.

Hello, I've just joined. Looking around, I see it is mostly bad news, which we see and hear in the media anyway. So, starting tomorrow, I'll be posting some good news stories, some jokes and other items.

Keir Starmer shows his true colours on Iran - and makes UK a laughing stock.

Is Keir Starmer the most embarrassing leader in British history? I had to go back a thousand years to find somebody even less equipped to stand up for his own country. That man was Æthelred the Unready, King of England from AD978 to 1016. Too scared to fight the Vikings, he tried buying them off instead. They simply came back for more. Sound familiar? There's a similar logic behind the Chagos Islands fiasco.

Æthelred has gone down in history as a by-name for uselessness and incompetence. Now Britain has a worthy successor. Let's call him Starmer the Non-starter. Although that's quite polite compared to what others are calling him. Donald Trump has dismissed him as a "loser". Kemi Badenoch has blasted his dithering. Nigel Farage calls him humiliating.

From day one, Starmer has struggled to stand up for his own country. Today, he prostrates himself before international law that nobody else follows. Iran certainly isn't bound by any rules. The regime spreads terror through proxy armies across the Middle East while slaughtering its own people.

Yet even when missiles are fired at British military bases, Starmer still can't bring himself to act. Instead, we're relying on the French, Spanish, Dutch and Greek navies to defend our interests.

Britain hasn't expelled Iran's ambassador. It still refuses to proscribe the brutal Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terrorist organisation. But it will issue a strongly worded statement. With British servicemen and women under attack, that apparently counts as action. Talk about a paper tiger.

The chairman of a British mosque has been suspended from the Labour Party after allegations about his "abhorrent and shocking views"
That didn't stop Rachel Reeves being his best mate.

Ms Reeves had referred to Mr Khatana as a "friend" and had gone to his house for lunch during her time as Chancellor.

The Leeds mosque leader shared 9/11 and antisemitic conspiracy theories online.

Ms Reeves had been photographed with Mr Khatana on at least 27 occasions since 2010.

It is abhorrent that the Chancellor of the Exchequer is building a deep and lasting friendship with this disgusting extremist man.

In Leeds, where Rachel Reeves is the MP, one in four people aren’t working.

You’d think the person in charge of our economy would be focused on fixing it.
Instead, she’s been busy hanging out with a man she calls her friend, Arshad Khatana.

A man who’s shared a video about the Pakistani military, which also glorified terrorists from two terror groups.
Who said that those who speak against Islam are an evil gang that he will help destroy!
Arshad has shared conspiracy theories about 9/11 and an international ‘lending mafia’ backed by ‘Zionist Rothschild criminals’.

Shameful Labour government dragging its feet so not to offend their core voters!

The High Court has said it will allow a judicial review of whether the government failed to act on the recommendations of a seven-year inquiry into child sexual abuse.

The foundation set up by former Greater Manchester Police detective Maggie Oliver to campaign for tougher action against grooming gangs, argued the government had failed to set a clear timetable for the recommendations to be taken forward.

In a legal submission, the Maggie Oliver Foundation said the government had "acted unreasonably and/or in breach of a legitimate expectation" to implement recommendations.

Mr Justice Kimblin decided there should be a judicial review hearing to consider the issues brought by the foundation.

Oliver, who attended the High Court hearing, set up her foundation after leaving Greater Manchester Police, where she was a whistleblower about the force's inaction over grooming gangs.

The original independent inquiry - launched to examine how public and private institutions failed to protect children from sexual abuse - lasted seven years and cost £200m, publishing its findings in 2022.

"Any government that would even want to shy away from honouring these obligations should question why they are in government, because our first duty as a civilised country is to protect children and safeguard them from abuse," she said, adding: "I hope the government is listening."

Well done Maggie we salute you.

Rioting Iranian asylum seeker rampaged through UK city hurling bricks at police.

An Iranian who fled to Britain aged 15 citing "religious persecution" has been jailed for rampaging through a city from a mosque - and attacking police and terrified residents. Alan Mohammed, 32, was spoiling for a fight against protestors who had taken to the streets in anger at the senseless murder days earlier of three girls in Southport by Axel Rudakubana on 29th July 2024.

Mohammed went to a Hanley mosque in Staffordshire at lunchtime. There he first threw bricks from the mosque car park towards police and anti-Islam protestors, faced-off against a line of police trying to keep order, was aggressive towards officers and had to be threatened with pepper spray.

Despite being welcomed into the UK in 2009 after claiming he felt unsafe on the streets of Iran, he then ran through Hanley terrifying innocent residents with a group who assaulted protesters.

Now the lout, of Hanley, Stoke-on-Trent, has admitted violent disorder and been jailed for two years.

Remember he was given asylum for "Religious persecution" Despite being welcomed into the UK in 2009 after claiming he felt unsafe on the streets of Iran.

The Home Office must stop believing there lies to gain access to the UK!!!

'Anti-British' Keir Starmer: 'Threatening national security'
after the Prime Minister's approach to the crisis in Iran has left Britain looking "weak on the international stage."

Starmer's handling of the situation, his stance is driven by domestic political pressures rather than foreign policy leadership.

The Gorton and Denton by-election has scared him into these far-left positions, and it is threatening national security, he is appearing increasingly uncertain about his position as the crisis unfolds.

Starmer unfavourably to historic British leadership.
We came from Churchill to someone like this - someone who won't stand up for the Iranian people.

He's got no sort of standing on the international World stage. Just outside the Iranian embassy there was not one drop of love for Starmer, it was I love Trump.

MPs call for ban on London 'hate march' backing Iranian regime

MPs and policing experts have led calls to ban an annual march in London in support of the Iranian regime.
The Al Quds demonstration, due to take place on March 15 in Britain have previously carried the flags of Iranian-backed terror group Hezbollah.

The march is organised by the Islamic Human Rights Commission (IHRC) which previously described the late Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, as a 'rare role model'.

Great Role Model Killing 36 000 Of his own people!

Supporters of Iran's regime will march through London calling for strikes on Israel and death to the West. Why are we allowing these people in our country?

A number of mosques across the UK have held vigils for the late Ayatollah Ali Khamenei - despite the brutal former ruler being described as having "British blood on his hands".

At the Islamic Centre of England in north London, candlelit photographs of the 86-year-old were placed outside, with one member of the congregation heard on video shouting: “We will obey you Khamenei."

The Islamic Centre of Englandwas recently named in a letter by a group of Labour MPs sent to security minister Dan Jarvis, who raised alarm over several organisations they believe are promoting the Iranian regime’s agenda on British soil.

The centre has been under Charity Commission investigation since 2022 over claims it operates as an extension of the Iranian state.

United Against Nuclear Iran's Kasra Aarabi hit out at the memorial events, telling The Times: “These are vigils for a man who had British blood on his hands, who ordered terror plots on British soil."

He described the activity across the country as "deeply concerning".

Mr Arabi warned the Islamic Republic has built an "active" network of power structures across Britain.
