I am a very law-abiding family man. I’ve always worked hard, have a good job, pay a lot of tax. I believe strongly in manners, respect and tradition. The fact that I feel as if the state is against me and would likely lock me up for my views is terrifying. The UK is utterly lost.

Local people cleaning roads and bagging by hand instead of a council machine doing it in seconds. Documenting British decline.

Gogglebox does government PR, Martin Lewis does the budget, Ant and Dec for foreign policy? Britpoors will be loving this and I suspect Labour know it.
"I had a list of seven or eight things that I suggested to the Chancellor and I've been pretty gobsmacked that five of them were in the budget." Martin Lewis, Founder of Money Saving Expert, reacts to Chancellor John Healey's first budget. #Newsnight

Nobody used the MacBook Pro Touch Bar - will this just go the same way? Certainly feels like Apple are losing their vision and creativity right now. When you compare it to the innovation of AI firms and Space X, Apple are basically going backwards. Why is Siri still so bad?
We brought Touch to the Mac! From the all-new iPad mini to the 14-inch MacBook Pro and iMac... and now MacBook Pro with PROLED XDR Display and Touch, creators have new tools to do their best work yet.

Be very suspicious of those that tell you not to be so all-consumed by the news and politics. That’s exactly what they want right now - a free pass. It’s your duty to stay informed, call out, and ridicule.

Thanks for helping to increase my already extortionate gas bills. At what point do you realise incentivising poverty and hammering the productive, might not be the best long-term strategy?
In the reception room at number 11 Downing Street about to in to meet the Chancellor on energy bills to hear what's going on, expecting they're putting out an announcement at 7am and going to tell me about that.

Only the very lowest consumers will pay less, everyone else will pay more. The great wealth compression continues. In communist Britain, it pays to be poor.

Restore are our guys. They get it. Spread the word far and wide.
Farage: "If those Restore supporters online see that we are the only vehicle, genuinely on the centre-right, that can beat the Labour Party and come back to us, then our polling will start to look very different, very quickly." Here's what Farage doesn't understand. We are not a "centre-right" party. Our voters are not "centre-right." The country was governed by the "centre-right" for 14 years, and they brought us to the brink of destruction. The "centre-right" are, in many ways, the greatest traitors of all. The Left are at least honest about their intentions towards us; the "centre-right" dress it up in a pinstripe suit and posh accent. But their ideology will still see us reduced to a hated and marginalised minority in our own homeland. You are not going to win our voters over by appealing to the "centre-right." We are radicals. We don't care what the "centre" thinks of us. In fact, we despise them. If Farage is serious about this, perhaps he should reconsider the offer we made him in August.

I would suggest it is more worthwhile that HMRC take notice of what those on state benefits actually own, rather than the wealthy.

We are the greatest nation on earth. We built the modern world, even if our best and brightest have had to temporarily leave these islands to work elsewhere. We must clear away the deadwood - and those that facilitate it - and reclaim our rightful position in the world.
Britain has the opportunity to be among the leading powers of the 21st century. Remigration. Economic independence. AI sovereignty. Domestic robotics manufacturing. Space travel. We are the greatest people to ever have walked the Earth. With the present regime consigned to the dustbin of history, its ideas ripped out at the root, its apparatchiks imprisoned, and a new order built in its place around the interests of our people, we could rule the stars if we so chose.

She’s so lovely but is there a bigger NPC on here?

Anyone going to the Restore Conference (North) in December?

Unlike Andrew, I’m not sure getting people to admit their extremist views in a poll is going to return the most accurate of results.
All the polling I’ve seen indicates that the great majority of French Muslims are not Islamists. Have a look. There was a poll last year showing higher than previous Islamist sympathies. Even in that one only 15% wanted sharia applied in full. Too many in my view but well short of a majority. Also France's official radicalisation file holds about 15,800 people out of several million Muslims. However recent polling also indicates rising religious conservatism among young Muslims. That is a concern if it’s a harbinger of political Islamism, not just religious piety. I suspect conditions for the young in the banlieue = rich pickings for the Islamists.

I pay £4k a year council tax and the council now refuses to use mechanised road sweepers to clean the streets. Instead we must all get down on our hands and knees. Third worldism dressed as middle class community spirit. @bradfordmdc @_RobbieMoore

For all the bad press surrounding the UK right now, it at least deserves some credit in this area. If you earn well and don't need to be in London (maybe work remotely) the UK is a pretty good place to save and invest with things like the S&S ISA and SIPP. Beats a lot of the EU.
Where to make money and come back home able to start your business or start compounding by investing. Yes, the US and Switzerland are "expensive" in terms of cost of life but many underestimate how much money you can sill make and set aside. In many other places simply you can't set aside and you never start investing.

More if this please.
🚨NEW: In ITV's undercover investigation, a Reform UK councillor in West London said that he would "quite happily" personally execute grooming gang members in the garden of 10 Downing Street "without f*cking thinking for a second about it"

These arguments against never take into account the alternative reality of not doing those things. Can-kicking until the same thing happens anyway, but worse.
This will never happen, unless you’re willing to accept the destruction of every town and city with a big enough population of second generation immigrants. Maybe you are, but it’d be 100 times worse than what you’re seeing in France now. It would literally be a fight for survival.

Restore are taking a strong, politically coherent stance and trying to convince others to vote for them. Reform are neither strong nor coherent - they exist solely to take power now with whatever centrist policies suit their broad client group, whoever they may be.
Senior Restore activists are now so deluded they are slating Marine Le Pen as "France's Farage" bc she wants to appeal to a broad coalition. A reminder: Marine Le Pen is forecast to WIN the presidential election in France, meaning she will be able to fundamentally reshape her country. Restore activists (not voters) are the equivalent of Zemmour, screaming into the night on 4% while quite literally handing their country to the Left. Don't be like them. Only a broad coalition saves nations. Especially in first-past-the-post systems like Britain's. Box clever like the Left or you will lose your country. Broad coalition = save your country.

Remember, you can't watch kinky simulated adult incest in the UK, but if you're a muslim, you are allowed to enact it.

Bradford Council charged me £25 to print off two birth certificates on their office printer today. I pay £4,000 a year in council tax.
