One of the more irritating aspects of the Remain campaign was the lazy characterisation of all Brexit supporters as little Englanders who hate Europe.
I've worked in Germany, the Netherlands, Finland, Sweden, Romania. I've led teams of IT guys from all over Europe and worked happily with them. I've travelled all over Europe for business and pleasure. My first travel abroad as a teenager was to France and Italy. I can get by speaking French and speak some basic German. I proposed to my wife in Greece. I love Europe in all its diversity, its different languages, cultures, landscapes, history, food. I'm in France right now, for the second time this year.
What I don't love is the attempt to obliterate all of this genuine diversity by merging it into one huge superstate run by unelected, unaccountable bureaucrats, remote from the people being governed, on the shaky pretext that it was necessary to prevent another war or to allow free movement of citizens.
To me, wanting that for Europe is hating Europe.
(Ironically it's the EU along with NATO that is now cheerleading for yet another war in Europe).
And there are many, many Brexit supporters like me.
The unwillingness of Remain supporters to recognise the difference between 'the EU" and "Europe" was one of the more baffling and infuriating aspects of the referendum campaign.
And it remains true even today. It's as if they've never thought very deeply about any of it.

So, our traitorous Establishment are "warning" us about 2 separate things: (1) They know the National Grid is going to collapse during this winter & it will take "3 days" to re-boot it. (2) They want us to go to war with Russia "1,000 days" from now, so they can cancel elections.

BBC World Service has broadcast scores of documentaries about cross-dressing men around the world over the last few years.
Today's RAJAR figures reveal that, despite being bailed out by the taxpayer this year, BBC World Service has seen an unprecedented drop in radio listeners.

All wars come to an end. It’s just a case of deciding when enough people have been killed. The Ukraine war has now killed around one million people and I’d say that’s plenty. I remember the troubles in Northern Ireland. That was a war that seemed like it would never end. Each side was so far apart with completely different views that would never change. But there came a day when everyone decided that enough was enough. The killing stopped and people’s lives improved. So, we can either argue until the end of time as to whose fault the Ukraine war was, or we can say that’s enough killing and let’s stop. It will stop, but let’s make it now and not after another million people have been killed.

As a neurosurgeon, let me tell you how frightening this injury actually is - an occipital compound depressed skull fracture treated with a WIDE craniotomy (outer staple line).
What's scary isn't the fracture; it's what's adjacent to the damaged skull. The axe blows (that tree-branch scar at the center) hit right over the posterior superior sagittal sinus, a large vein that runs lengthwise between the 2 cerebral hemispheres and carries blood from the brain to the heart.
Penetrating injuries to the sinus can carry upwards of a 40% morbidity/mortality - partially because a transection of the sinus can be difficult to repair and can result in extreme blood loss, venous air embolism, or thrombosis - all of which can be fatal.
There's scary, and then there's the "you go to elevate the fracture and risk unroofing the sinus, losing 2 liters of blood in a minute" scary.
The surgeons likely had their hands full and did an amazing job. Divine providence called many heroes into service that day. Damn fine work.

456 PATIENTS DIED
This is one of the biggest medical scandals in British history and there is a decent chance you have never heard of it.
Between 1988 and 2000, patients admitted to Gosport War Memorial Hospital in Hampshire for things like hip fractures and chest infections were routinely put on syringe drivers pumping a steady stream of diamorphine, a powerful opioid. Many were not in pain. Most died within days of being hooked up.
Nurses noticed straight away. In 1988, staff on the Redclyffe Annexe told their managers something was badly wrong. They told their union, the Royal College of Nursing. They kept raising it for years. Management's response was to tell them to stop making waves.
The doctor overseeing the prescribing was Dr Jane Barton. In 2010 the General Medical Council @gmcuk found her guilty of serious professional misconduct in the care of 12 patients. She was not struck off. She retired instead, presumably somewhere with no syringe drivers.
3 separate police investigations by Hampshire Constabulary went absolutely nowhere across 3 decades. Zero prosecutions. Grieving families asking why their relatives died 5 days after routine surgery were treated as the problem.
Then in 2018, after a 4 year inquiry costing 14 million pounds, the Gosport Independent Panel confirmed what those nurses said in 1988.
456 patients died after being given opioids with no medical justification. The panel said probably 200 more died the same way, but their records had gone missing, because of course they had.
Kent Police @kent_police then launched Operation Magenta, reviewing over 750 patient records, taking 1200 witness statements and eventually naming 24 suspects. In November 2025, 7 years into that investigation and 37 years after the first nurse spoke up, police told the families of 101 patients there would be no charges. Their cases did not meet the evidential test. The rest remain under review, with the Crown Prosecution Service @CPSUK holding the final say on any charges, whenever that call finally comes.
So here is where things stand. A regulator confirmed the misconduct. A panel confirmed the cover-up. Nurses were proven right 30 years after the fact. And to this date, not one person has been prosecuted for any of the 456 deaths.
If you raise a concern about patient safety and get ignored for 3 decades, congratulations, you were right all along. Doesn't bring anyone back though.

Here’s what I suspect you won’t hear on the BBC about the budget.
The British state is now working on the assumption that net migration will steadily rise again to at least 230,000 by 2031.
That’s equivalent to adding a city the size of Southampton to our population in just one year.
Between 2026 and 2031, 910,000 migrants will be added to the UK - net.
That’s equivalent to adding two Liverpools in five years.
While they are also failing to build enough houses, investing in our public services, and hold our country together.
I will tell you the truth below.

EXCLUSIVE: MIGRANT BOAT LAUNCHES FROM BELGIUM AS AUTHORITIES STAND AND WATCH
29th October 2026 | Belgian-French border | Approx. 3:00 AM local time
What I believe could be the first ever footage of an illegal migrant boat launching from a Belgian beach, just across the border from France.
But the real story isn’t the boat.
It’s the Belgian authorities standing there watching it happen.
No visible intervention. No attempt to stop the launch.
Different country. Same scenes I’ve witnessed repeatedly in France.
Two countries, one border, and the same question: what exactly are the authorities doing to stop these boats?

Now the next fact about our wonderful NHS.
Guess how many foreign doctors have been banned in their own country or in other foreign countries but are doctoring in the UK right now?
I hope that you will hope that there are none?
You would be wrong.
There are certainly at least 22.

A Budget that amounts to pissing into a westerly gale - tinkering around the edges while the British economy burns, with a treasury packed full of economic arsonists.
It is an insult to every taxpayer, every struggling business and every family being bled dry by this rotten economic system. Nothing will change - we continue our uninterrupted plunge into the abyss.
The country is drowning in debt. I don’t know how else to say this…
We are BANKRUPT. We cannot afford any of this. Nothing.
A crushing tax burden remains, small businesses are strangled and as employers we’re punished for creating jobs. For what? To fund millions of scroungers who can’t be arsed to work like the rest of us? Foreigners who turn up and expect housing, benefits, healthcare? When our tax goes up, THAT is what we are funding.
Debt is now THREE TRILLION. We can thank lockdown for a large part of that. But please think about it. Three trillion. The scale is just unimaginable. Yet we get another Chancellor fiddling with the numbers while the country goes up in flames. Billions and billions and billions get added every month. It is GROWING. I don’t know how else to say this.
The people governing us seem absolutely incapable of understanding one basic principle.
Wealth is created by businesses and workers. NOT by politicians spending somebody else's money to win votes. NOT by the state. NOT by the public sector. I detest it.
The British people, working mums and dads, are expected to work longer and harder to fund this corrupt charade - all while giant multinationals shift vast profits out of our country on the back of their work and bloated corporates extract outrageous contract profits from the taxpayer thanks to criminal public sector mismanagement.
I challenge Healey or Burnham. Go and start a business. A cafe, a contractor, a small shop. Try being a sole contractor on the tools. Experience these taxes, the regulation, the stress. Have their families rely on sporadic invoices. Watch their earnings get siphoned off by a corrupt state. Let’s see how they get on.
The system does not need reforming, or conserving - it needs smashing up. We need to rip apart, limb from limb, the failed assumptions that have governed British economic policy for decades.
Cut the waste. Shrink the state. Slash the tax burden. Back small British businesses. Reward work. Restore the incentive to invest, build, employ and succeed. Get millions of healthy Brits OFF benefits. Give people a reason to work. BE UNPOPULAR. If healthy scroungers hate me for taking their benefits off them, good. Get used to it.
It’s all that, on a scale never seen before, or the country will collapse further into a third world hellhole - only this time we’ll get the hyperinflation and total economic catastrophe in addition to the migrants.
I refuse to leave a broken, bankrupt nation to my children and grandchildren.
Restore Britain is offering a route out.
It will be painful, more than anyone realises.
But it is the only way.

The real French are leaving. Not immigrants. The French. Those born in France for generations. Those who built France. They are abandoning their own country because of uncontrolled immigration. This is unacceptable.

🚨⚠️ A migrant living in a London hotel accused of sexually assaulting a woman in a West End bar cried in court as he complained that his English is 'limited'.
Bashir Hotak, 23, was staying in a hotel in east London at the time of the alleged sex attack in Simmons Bar, Leicester Square, on June 29.
He appeared at Westminster Magistrates' Court charged with sexual assault and assault by beating.
He was assisted by a Persian interpreter in the Dari dialect and began to cry when asked to enter pleas.
After a break, Hotak's solicitor said he could no longer represent him.
When told he needed to find new representation Hotak said: 'How? I'm not well, I have very limited English, I'm being seen by doctors and I'm on a lot of medication.'
Amanda Barron, chairing a bench of three magistrates, told him: 'You Google law firms near where you live, it's not difficult.
'You've had the opportunity of a lawyer today and he can no longer act for you.'
She adjourned the hearing until November 10 and bailed Hotak on condition he does not contact the alleged victim or go to Simmons Bar in Leicester Square.
Ms Barron said: 'Your lawyer is no longer acting for you, I'm going to give three weeks in order to be back at court which gives you time to find a new lawyer.
'It's up to you, it's your life, your responsibility.
'If you break either of those conditions you will be arrested by police and brought to court in custody and the bail position would be reviewed.'
Hotak, of east London, is charged with sexual assault on a female and assault by beating. He did not enter pleas during the hearing.
He was seen laughing and sticking up his middle finger as he left court.

This is unbelievable.
I read this with absolute horror and total disgust.
This cannot be happening in our country.
I’m at a total loss for words.
“The case was investigated by Lancashire Police but criminal charges did not follow”……why? ……could someone more qualified explain this to me.
As for all the organisations named that should protect the public…. failing…..and showing they are not fit for purpose.

A doctor rapes a patient.
The victim reports it.
THE DOCTOR ADMITS IT.
He tells a hospital committee that it was a "one off" and he will not do it again.
THE MANAGEMENT SAYS THAT IS OK.
And allow him to carry on working.
THE POLICE TAKE NO ACTION.
The hospital concerned is the BLACKPOOL VICTORIA HOSPITAL.
The same hospital where a 75 year old patient was raped to death and no one was ever convicted for it.
Are women worth nothing to the NHS?

Another £10bn for Ukraine. Billions more for Mauritius. £13bn on foreign aid in 2025.
This is less a budget for Britain and more for the world.
