£7.5bn goes to over a million foreign nationals every year. This is on top of the £5.4bn for housing "asylum seekers". We are broke yet we are funding this. It's crazy. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/03/17/more-than-one-million-foreigners-claim-benefits/
Amazon forest felled to build road for climate summit https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c9vy191rgn1o The conference will host world leaders who will fly in with their entourage on their private jets. There they will discuss how to implement world communism under the guise of saving the planet.
Britain is impoverishing itself with net zero and it won't make an iota of difference to the climate.

Macmillan are offering close to £100K a year for one DEI hire! I stopped donating to mainstream charities years ago due to excessive CEO pay, but I think others should be aware what their donations are being wasted on. Best to check before you donate. https://jobs.macmillan.org.uk/jobs/vacancy/head-of-equity-diversity--inclusion-10785/10833/description/
Presumably anyone can refuse on the grounds they have a right to a family life in the UK?
There's a petition going calling for an investigation. Be interesting to see how many signatures it gets. https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/700170
And taxpayer-funded driving lessons. But not being from local taxes somehow makes a difference. https://www.banburyguardian.co.uk/news/people/council-defends-ps1000-grants-for-afghan-refugees-driving-lessons-in-banbury-saying-they-are-not-paid-by-local-tax-payers-4956698 None of it is free as the government tries to claim. It's all funded from taxing citizens.
We should be encouraging tourists and shoppers by making parking easy and cheap or free where possible, and ensuring there are ample amenities including public toilets. Otherwise we'll end up with a town full of dodgy charity shops and barbers.
Trump administration removes climate information from federal websites https://www.ehn.org/trump-administration-removes-climate-information-from-federal-websites-2671075030.html Sanity is being restored in the USA as climate propaganda is being removed from federal websites. Fingers crossed Britain will eventually wake up too and abandon the dangerous Net Zero obsession.
Could the UK actually get colder with global warming? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cn938ze4yyeo As we all know, climate predictions are always spot on, as is the BBC, so it looks like Labour needs to ditch Net Zero in favour of burning a lot more fossil fuels to keep us warm.
The national debt is £2825bn. It dwarfs the £22bn Rachel from accounts keeps going on about. https://www.ons.gov.uk/economy/governmentpublicsectorandtaxes/publicsectorfinance/timeseries/hf6w/pusf The government spends over £1200bn a year. The shortfall in tax receipts means £127bn will be added to the national debt this financial year. ...
Turns out the climate emergency was just a scam after all. "Government backs Heathrow expansion to kickstart economic growth" https://www.gov.uk/government/news/government-backs-heathrow-expansion-to-kickstart-economic-growth Labour have lost all credibility. They are just winging it now.
Great day for Americans and a turning point for the world. Hopefully Britain will get a kick up the arse and stop the woke nonsense that is destroying the country.
Update on Southport Axel Rudakubana pleads guilty. Starmer and the police ‘covered up’ the Southport stabbings. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2025/01/20/keir-starmer-police-covered-up-southport-terror-farage They are still gaslighting everyone by refusing to call it what it is.

Trumped-up charges by the loony left so they could repeatedly call him a convicted felon hoping no one would vote for him. But it backfired spectacularly, lol.

I bought 4 beers for £7 earlier but was charged full price because I don't have a nectar card. I never used to need a nectar card before and I wasn't warned when checking out. I stopped shopping at Tescos 10 years ago because of these underhanded tactics. Won't be shopping at Sainsburys anymore either.
Why was Harry Waugh's thuggery worse than Daniel Smith's? No one was hurt let alone had their jaw broken, and he got 30 months in jail. https://www.gazettelive.co.uk/news/teesside-news/harry-waugh-violent-disorder-middlesbrough-30628428.amp
This is a lousy explanation by Allwyn since players could already choose additional days if they wanted to. What they can't do is undo the additional days they were tricked into playing. If they can get away with this, how long will it be before they automatically start selecting 'By Direct Debit' for you too?
Brainwashing from the mainstream media tells you the planet is warming up, not common sense. Trump will be leader of the free world starting 2025, which is 25 years after the ice caps were meant to have melted. It'll soon be over for climate communists.

Attenborough has been at it for years too, @Carer . No, I don't think extreme weather is all lies. What we have just experienced is weather that is beyond human control. The same goes for weather in other countries. Extreme weather has been happening for millions of years. Wherever you get your news from is up to you but it's probably best to get it from more than one place. I don't need to ...

Labour has dropped a lot in the latest polls. Can't see him lasting as PM the full term at this rate.
A spokesperson for the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government said: “This is the worst housing crisis in living memory, and in order to fix this we need to build 1.5 million homes. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/crk4y05vp61o Why is it not the worst immigration crisis in living memory given net migration hit 906,000 in a single year last June?

Never said they haven't @Carer . It's what government does which is why we need to dismantle most of it.
It used to be a far right conspiracy theory. Turns out it was a Uniparty experiment.

They were hanging out with Bill Gates not long ago, but now they are "partnering" with Blackrock. https://www.thecanary.co/uk/analysis/2024/11/22/starmer-blackrock/ Can't imagine many labour supporters being happy about it.
