Together they represent one of the biggest transfers of wealth from households and businesses to the Treasury in decades – with little to show for it in public services.
Whether you're a business owner employing staff, a parent paying school fees, a farmer planning succession, an entrepreneur building wealth or simply someone trying to save for your family’s future...
- You keep less of what you earn.
- You keep less of what you invest.
- You leave less for your family.
Death by a thousand cuts.

Growing up in Oldham, in sixth form we would go to the pub during free periods as they wouldn’t really care about our age and we could have a pint or two.
There would always be a Pakistani couples sheepishly sat in the corner drinking cokes and kissing or cuddling. I asked why once and was told that it’s because all of the taxi drivers in the town are Pakistani, they all talk to eachother, they all know eachother, they all see eachother every day at the mosques. If a girl was seen walking around or holding hands with ‘so and so’s cousin’ it could cause an outrage or some clan conflict and so they would go to the places in town they knew they wouldn’t be caught/seen.
It isn’t surprising at all that these taxi networks are being used to facilitate abuse, this is well known. But it needs to be acknowledged that if a few of them know, all of them know. Every driver, every family.
In April 2016, Manchester Crown Court sentenced nine men for abusing eight girls and young women around Rochdale between 2005 - 2013.
One 15 yr old was sold for sex by David Law to Afraz Ahmed for a few bags of heroin. A bus driver, Afraz Ahmed, propositioned two 13 yr old schoolgirls on his route. Gang members utilised the local taxi network to identify and capture vulnerable young girls. Another man, Mohammed Furuz Miah, kept alcohol, cigarettes and hair straighteners in his boot, which the judge called a kit to get vulnerable girls into his car.

Lots of people here citing WWII, which I think is correct, but not in the sense that most mean it when they suggest “Great Britain lost the war.” Because, obviously, GB didn’t lose the war.
The issue is that after WWII, all Western morality switched from being based on shared cultural beliefs about right and wrong (largely derived from Christianity), and instead became about “not being Hitler.” If Hitler did “X,” the moral imperative became to do “Y,” regardless of whether Y was an objectively good and moral thing to do.
So, because Nazism pursued nationalism, the Western imperative became to *oppose* nationalism. Because Nazism pursued ethnic homogeneity, the Western imperative became to *oppose* ethnic homogeneity. The downstream consequence of this new moral rubric was that Western nations like GB pursued objectives (anti-nationalism and ethnic diversity) that weakened the state and weakened its social cohesion, all in an effort to “not be Hitler.”
It’s not just GB, either. You see this throughout Europe and in the Western diaspora (USA, Canada, AUS). We’re all trying to “not be Hitler,” and as a result, we’ve invited into our countries a bunch of people and ideas that are not only incompatible with us, but are actually antagonistic to us.
The only way out of this morass is for a critical mass of people in Western countries to rediscover pride in their countries, their culture, and their history. Without that, there’s no way we can muster the courage to do what must come after, which is aggressive remigration of every last incompatible person from our lands.

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!
FUCK DEPORTING.
EXECUTE.
(I would take on the responsibility of doing it myself if I were granted legal immunity)
🚨 NEW: Two Somalian migrants jailed for abducting and sexually assaulting 11-year-old girl in Birmingham.
• Hamza Sharif, 36, and Sadak Ali, 28, were sentenced at Birmingham Crown Court on Thursday.
• Sharif approached the girl after she ran away from home, invited her to a house and took her there with Ali.
• The pair offered her drugs, which she refused, before Ali asked invasive sexual questions and assaulted her.
• A member of the public later intervened when the men attempted to move her to another location.
• Sharif received five years for child abduction while Ali was given seven years for detaining a child and sexual assault.
• Ali was placed on the sex offenders register for life and both men are subject to restraining orders.
If our society had remained homogeneous, we wouldn’t have to concern ourselves too much about out-group threats.
If that was a sound off at the O2 Ritz in Manchester tonight, it was @TheSelecter 1, @EnglishBeat 0.

Two clips of police turning up at prominent right-wingers’ houses are circulating today.
One, Young Bob, is a Christian activist and debater. The other, Jo, is the owner of Oldspeak Bookshop, the only right-wing bookshop in the UK. Both are associated with Restore Britain and advocate for remigration.
It’s hard not to see these as attempts to intimidate people on the right out of publicly advocating for their beliefs.
Please support @oldspeak_books. Jo is lovely and sells a fantastic selection of books, many available through no other retailer in the UK.
You’d like to believe that this account is nonsense, but anyone who has experience and a little understanding of rubbing shoulders knows it to be true.
A reminder an HGV driver wrote to me. He delivers live animals to abattoirs & describes the places as sadistic, vile & depraved cruelty. Halal slaughter should be banned immediately.
"David I need to remain anonymous to keep my job as I work for a large multinational that are very PC/woke and me getting involved in any sort of discussion like this would cost me my job.
"I’ve worked previously as a HGV driver delivering livestock to slaughterhouses. In the build up to Ramadan the company I worked for made sheep deliveries to halal slaughterhouses up and down the country.
"We’d always deliver after dark and the loading bays would be full of Muslim men and boys who’d come to choose their sheep. They’d be climbing up the outside of the trailer to get a look in and try pick which one they wanted. They’d be shouting and screaming whilst banging on the trailer to try get the sheep to move around.
"Drivers would always do their best to try stop them as the animals are still in their care whilst on the vehicle. Once the trailer door was open the men would be jumping in the trailers trying to grab their sheep and mark it. We’d often end up physically removing the men and a few times it ended up in fists flying.
"Once the sheep had been herded into the slaughterhouse pens the real barbarism would begin. After waiting hours and hours with no access to water the Sheep were punched and kicked by the men and boys and forced onto the waiting line to be slaughtered. The whole place is absolute chaos with people screaming and shouting and the sound of dying animals.
"Once they reached the front of the queue there’d be an imam sat there reciting prayers as the slaughter man grabbed the animal by the head, spun it round and slit its throat. It would then be hung upside down on an overhead hook conveyor and transported for butchering as it was still bleeding and writhing around in agony.
"It’s not an instant death by any means. The supposed “vet” whose job is to maintain welfare standards is nearly always a friend of the owners and is also Muslim who’s paid and simply turns a blind eye. The whole place is a complete blood bath. Zero welfare standards, zero compassion.
"In comparison we used to deliver pigs to slaughterhouses and the welfare levels are immense. Animals were herded without any physical contact at all, if you so much as touched an animal the vet would have you and your company banned from the site immediately and reported to the relevant authorities too.
"The animals are slaughtered with a single bolt to the back of the head. It’s instant and pain free.
"I just thought I’d give some inside information as to what goes on.
"Halal meat is vile and it needs to be banned."
We know this has been going on and built to its present crescendo.
The best thing about Tottenham (where I grew up) being exposed to a wide audience as welfare ground zero is that it helps a case I often make on this platform. I didn’t need the data to tell me that almost 30K households in David Lammy’s constituency - the home of rioting, crime, social decay, and disturbing demographics - were claiming UC or the benefits that came before it, because the people in a place like Tottenham (which has the largest welfare bill of any constituency, at £624.9 million) will *just tell you*.
We imagine topics like personal finances (and especially benefits) to be taboo and something that, thanks to good old British reservedness, people would never dare openly discuss. But the people in a place like Tottenham are not British. They do not share our sensibilities.
The Somalis, Eritreans, Nigerians, Turks, Kurds, Albanians and others in Tottenham will straight up tell you about the various benefits they’re claiming. They’ll even tell you about their dodgy DLA/PIP claims and the various ways in which they scam the system. They’ll tell you about their Motability car and the fraudulent way they obtained it. They’ll openly tell you about their “friend from my village” who works at the council’s housing department and who they bunged £10K cash to get a nicer social housing property with more bedrooms and a garden. The fraud is out in the open and totally normalised.
Yet when I describe this phenomenon to faux leftist white middle-class people, they instantly dismiss it as the stuff of far-right conspiracies theories. I understand why they instinctively do so, because this is behaviour that is totally alien to us British people (with some exceptions for the underclass - but even they’re more savvy and secretive than the Somalis et al when it comes to their benefit claims).
The reason middle-class Sensibles™ can comfortably dismiss what I am describing, is because they do not live among the “diversity” the claim to love. They do not have socially housed Somalian neighbours who openly describe how they got three of their kids diagnosed with ADHD by using a online Conners Rating Scale and harassing their GP for a CAMHS referral, and how they obtained PIP for their “trauma” from the war back home, and their Motability car.
But, to those dismissive people, I say respectfully: listen to those of us who know what we are talking about and have direct “lived experience” of this stuff. The people we have imported over the last thirty or so years are not like us and never will be. They do not share our sensibilities. If I tell you about the kids in my school discussing the new cars their mums were driving and how they “got it free from like the government and dat”, or Turkish neighbours gloating that they’ve managed to secure DLA for young Hasan, Ali and Mehmet (a hat-trick!), I really am not making it up.
I’m glad everyone is discussing the scale of benefit claims in places like Tottenham, Edmonton, Hackney, and elsewhere. Sunlight is the best disinfectant.

They withdrew after a good campaign encouraged the Council to raise objections: planning.norwich.gov.uk/onli…
They might come back again, but it’s gonna be a hard slog given the kicking local people gave them.
Thanks due to M for being so relentless on this one.

Again, a decent kicking, but I think they could come back with a re-design: regs.thurrock.gov.uk/online-…
We’ll fight em again if they do.
==================
You’ve don’t this by giving more money on the campaign appeals: economies of scale have meant that 2 x the money = 4 x the campaign.
That means these applications are taking longer to decide. Councils are getting the wind up and delaying decisions.
Nine more cases still undecided because of this. Fantastic.
Thank you! Kind regards, Gavin

You've had a weekend every week of your life. 🇬🇧
Nobody told you where it came from.
The lie-in. The Saturday game. The Sunday roast. ⚽
All of it began in the cotton towns of Lancashire.
And it started with a whistle.
1840: A mill hand worked 6 days a week. 12 hours a day.
Sunday was for church. Saturday was just another shift.
So the workers took Monday off instead. They called it Saint Monday. 🍺
The owners called it idleness. They docked their wages for it.
But a mill can't run without its hands.
So the mills and the mill hands made a deal.
Turn up on Monday. And on Saturday, the whistle goes at 2.
1850: Parliament made it the law.
Every mill in Britain stops at 2 on a Saturday.
Half a day. All their own.
The other half day followed, trade by trade, over the next century.
And what do you do with a free Saturday afternoon?
You play football.
The whistle went at 2. So kick-off was at 3. It still is. ⏰
1879: A magazine printed a strange new word from Staffordshire: week-end.
The world had no word for it. Because the world didn't have one.
America was still working Saturdays in the 1920s. Lancashire had stopped at 2 for 70 years.
Every weekend on earth started at a mill gate in the north of England.
They teach you the mills.
They never teach you that ordinary mill hands made Saturday happen.
Nobody told you where it came from.
It came from ordinary British people.
That's what Proud Of Us is for.
The mill hands made a deal and kept it. So do we. No sponsors. No ads. No agenda. Just people like you.
Send this to someone who's off today.
They gave you your Saturday. Give them a minute of it. 👇

They call the English a mongrel people... 🏴🇬🇧
The science says something better. 🧪👨🔬
In 2015 scientists in Oxford tested 2,039 people. Only people whose 4 grandparents were all born within 50 miles of each other. So the map they drew wasn't Britain today. It was Britain in 1885. Before anyone moved.
17 groups across these islands. 🗺️ Cornwall. Wales in pieces. The north. Scotland in pieces. Orkney. And the English were one. One people from Kent to Yorkshire. One group, where everywhere else on the map was many.
So where did they come from?
In 2022 they went to the graves. ⚱️ 278 people who died here 1,500 years ago. They read what was in them. 3 streams.
The Britons who were already here before the Romans. The families who crossed the North Sea after the Romans left. Whole families. As many women as men. Not a wipe-out. They married in. And a third stream from across the Channel, over centuries.
3 streams. 1 river. 🌊 By the Middle Ages the mixing had settled. The map of 1885 still showed it, 900 years on. Same fields. Same church. Same names on the gravestones.
That's not a mongrel. A mongrel is a mix nobody meant. This is a recipe. 3 ingredients. 1,000 years to set. 🏺
And here's the part that matters. A lineage isn't a wall. It's a line. People who kept the same place and the same ways, then handed them on. The Normans joined it. The Huguenots joined it. Anyone can. The price is keeping it.
They teach you the English are a mixture. So is every people on earth. What they don't teach you is what it became. 1,500 years on the same ground. Not many can say that.
That's why Proud Of Us is here. To teach the next generation who we really are. No sponsors. No ads. No agenda. Just people like you.
If you can, stand with us. If you can't, send this to someone who's never been told.
They said mongrel. That doesn't change a thousand years of lineage. It just means nobody told them.
Let's teach our next Generation the truth.👇

I think our country is accelerating in its demise.
The pound has lost ~40% of its purchasing power since 2020 (partly due to Covid money printing), so the number of UK millionaires “should” have increased to reflect the debasement and the increased money in circulation.
But the number of millionaires has actually declined by ~60% since 2021.
The wealth destruction taking place in this country is staggering.
The US is growing its number of millionaires at 1,200 per day meanwhile and over 1.6 million since 2020.

The truth about Nigerian Muslims is worst than you think.
October 11, 1991, a German evangelist named Reinhard Bonke planned a large Christian crusade in the northern Nigerian city of Kano.
Christians were excited about the event, and the hype was widespread.
Many Muslims did not like this, and they opposed it, believing that Kano belonged to Islam and that Christians should not hold such a crusade there.
Fearing that Christianity was becoming too popular in Kano, members of the so-called "religion of peace" then took to the streets and began rioting.
Within hours, they started lynching innocent Christians, burning their homes, churches, and businesses.
Christian Children, women and men alike.
Christians were lynched, raped, impaled, butchered, and burned alive.
This targeted violence against Christians continued for days. Many Christian families disappeared, never to be seen again.
Entire Christian neighborhoods became empty, with homes and businesses seized by Muslims after the owners were killed.
By the time the army finally intervened and stopped the killings, hundreds of Christians were dead, thousands were injured, and hundreds of thousands had been displaced.
The military government underreported the death toll as about 100 to 200.
However, survivors and other accounts claim that more than 500 Christians died.
These acts were not carried out by Terrorists, they were carried out by everyday Muslims that knew the people they were killing, the type of Muslims you call your friends.
The crusade was canceled, and the victims never received any justice or compensation.
Today, some of those who carried out the killings, or their children, can be found online proclaiming that Islam is a religion of peace and accusing others of being Islamophobic and saying there is no Christians genocide in Nigeria
Don't ever let anyone massacre your people and then come online to gaslight you.

We know that for a successful organ transplant the ‘donor’ has to be alive when the organs are removed.
This testimony is deeply disturbing and asks the question are the organ donors actually brain dead at the time of removal.
It looks like Kate Shemirani was right all along !

Older car owners need to fill in this survey. Your car will be banned from roads if it does not pass this test.
6th Sept the closing date.
Please help me keep my TD5 Defender on the road but this will be relevant to a lot of older cars!! ‼️IMPORTANT‼️ *Please Share.*
So the government is going to try and effectively remove old vehicles from the road.
They've created a sneaky consultation on this huge change with an end date of only the 6th of September.
They want to have a yearly emissions check on every car and motorcycle on the road AS WELL as your mot.
If you pass the mot but then go to your emissions check, if the vehicle doesn't emit exactly the same emissions as when it was built the car will be banned from any use on the road even if it passed its mot emissions.
‼️ This will effectively destroy cars for those of us who love older cars, as well as those who simply can’t afford a newer car. Also car tuning and modifications will be forced to stop you been able to drive your car.‼️
This is targeting all vehicle, cars, motorbikes, trikes, kit cars etc.
So far they are just targeting cars after 2001 but they want to use it on every vehicle on the road targeting mot & tax exempt (historic) vehicles.
They've purposely not given this consultation much time, so please go to the bottom of this page, click this link: smartsurvey.co.uk/s/x-QHYJB7… and click *DISAGREE* and tell them you do not want any of this from the government and share the consultation for others to do the same.
Only way to stop this would be to get the results of this consultation to be a resounding NO (DISAGREE)!
gov.uk/government/consultati…
Another ratchet to get the common man out of car ownership and the freedom it endows.
Please respond to the ‘consultation’
This looks like an attempt to force more perfectly good cars off the road
It's been done on the quiet with a very short time to respond. To then be implemented next year!
Please respond
