With regards to the last story.
It’s because the criminals were black (and always are in tiktok crime).
That’s why police do nothing.
You see, in America they struggle because of finances, “defund” nonsense. They called the guard racist and held their wrists…
However our police are just useless. Left wing, feminine and totally shit in the first place.
“Little Britain creator Matt Lucas branded ‘a hypocrite’”
Perhaps the difference was that Lucas poked fun at stereotypes for a joke. Kanye was talking about his own opinions formed in his own crazy head. In any case, Lucas might have been better just letting it go past without comment. What does he know.? Does he make a fuss about the thousands with antisemitic views who come here in dinghies.?
The hypocrisy is the government that has let Alaa Abd el-Fattah in is now discussing banning Kanye West.
“Defence Readiness bill won’t be ready for another year”
What a surprise. What on earth do the 57,000 civil servants in the MoD do, actually.?
In my experience, they instruct BA staff to discontinue allowing troops returning from operational deployment to use the hospitality lounge at Heathrow. (In many cases the BA staff allowed us anyway, but advised the guys and girls to change into civvies).
We should go back to encouraging the forces to wear uniform when travelling or out and about. If the state is so dangerous they might be at risk we need to know and deal with it, not hide and let the evil people rule by default.
Only if the instruction to wear uniform goes hand-in-hand with permission to use any force necessary when confronted by the ‘enemy’…
Something that seems rather unlikely with this government’s determination to pursue and prosecute soldiers for obeying orders to engage nearly 50 years ago.
I remember coming through Heathrow with all my kit, body armour, all that stuff and putting it on the x-ray belt for my domestic flight North, being ordered about and getting dirty looks from the staff. It was at that point I decided I’d had enough and went offshore where we were actually valued and paid well.
It was more to hide from bloated no-marks from the MoD civil “service”.
“How to save our churches ”
The best way to save our churches, would be for people to go to them. Unfortunately, the leadership for most of my lifetime, up to and including the present incumbent, seem determined to reduce attendance… 🤷🏼
Yes, it’s all part of the Satanic plan to destroy the Protestant Church of England, so that the Vatican Jesuits can seize all that property they falsely claim, and wipe out 500 years of the Protestant Reformation.
The new Archbishopette is married to an Irish Catholic, and like all those who call themselves “Anglo-Catholic”, she is just another Catholic subverting the Protestant Church of England on behalf of the Vatican. The Jesuit Counter-Reformation Plot has never gone away, but just went into hiding…
Thinking Making Tax Digital is creeping state control is part of the problem.
That isn’t creeping, it’s stampeeding.
We like to think the public keeps an overbearing state in check, but it isn’t. It’s dissent within the ruling establishment.
And I don’t think an overbearing, totalitarian state is going to be stopped by mild mannered, polite, softly spoken objections by establishment figures.
In fact, it probably emboldens the state because it can see how pathetic and toothless any opposition is.
Just thought I’d let you all know about a massive anti fuel tax protest taking place in Ireland today, all major cities and main routes are affected with Dublin being singled out for a total blockade!
The Irish, so called government, needs to listen and listen well, the people have had enough, it’s now a case of a cost of living survival for a lot of companies and businesses over here.
I hope this really shakes the tree, if not the next stage might not be so pleasant!

Well, when the witch-hunt gets this ludicrous, nobody’s safe. I wonder where the makers of “League of Gentlemen” are now? Probably in hiding, under new identities.
