On this Remembrance Sunday, we honor those who gave everything for our freedoms. Their courage, sacrifice, and resilience remain woven into the fabric of our lives. Let’s not just remember but strive to be worthy of what they defended. Thank you for all who have served and still serving today our country is in your debt.

Britain's apparent integration success turns out to be based on a willingness to simply ignore the catastrophic failures. ~ Sam Ashworth-Hayes

GMP detectives at Burnham's inquiry stated in no uncertain terms that "we were told to try and get other ethnicities" as it became apparent groomers were predominantly South Asian. Senior officers haven't changed; Patel's orders to record predator ethnicity were flatly ignored. ~ John Montgomery

GROOMING TRIAL: Hecklers Called Prosecutors 'Slags' and 'Hoped They Would Be Raped'

Let this sink in. While 1000s of British women and children were being targeted by South Asians Muslims, for decades, the British media and government publicly celebrated Crossdressers. The New Women. We've been so flooded with this abomination, that the information about the widespread terror and assault of an entire country was suppressed.

The British Police, filled with fellow countrymen just let it happen; allowed their own people to be destroyed. Britain has no spine.

the thing abt the "Muslim grooming gangs" is that it's just factually incorrect. like, entirely. the majority of people involved in grooming & rape are overwhelmingly white, NOT brown, NOT Black, and NOT Muslim (source page 25); the reason why the stereotype of "Muslim grooming gangs" is so prevalent is SOLELY bc of white supremacy and islamophobia fuelled by the likes of Boris Johnson, Suella Braverman, Rishi Sunak and Keir Starmer himself (remember all the shit he talked abt migrants? remember how he REFUSED to say the word islamophobia?), and does nothing but derail and detract from the fact that white rapists & white child molesters are often left to go about their day bc of their whiteness which protects them.

it's a scapegoat. it's a disgusting and dehumanising scapegoat used to stir fear and hatred of a group of people who are HEAVILY demonised and dehumanised. anyone who ENGAGES w islamophobia is merely allowing this, even if they don't believe so; stirring up fear and hate of Muslims and people of colour is feeding into this narrative regardless of the topic matter at hand. what we NEED is to genuinely address the fact that white supremacy and islamophobia HAS normalised this ideology and that we, esp my white peers, NEED to be doing better to combat it. what we NEED is for white supremacy in the UK to be dismantled, punished and entirely cut out.

I know it's (very) early days, but, my god, it feels good, and refreshing, to have a government that seems to want to work with, and for, other people, rather than against, well, everyone who isn't them.

Chief Mouser to the Cabinet Office

You might not be aware that the funniest and arguably most wonderful fact about Britain is that here in Britain, we have a Chief Mouser to the Cabinet Officer. It is rumoured that the first cat hired officially for such purposes was idea of Henry VIII (many centuries ago).

Look at this handsome fella. His name is Larry!

🇷🇺 #Russia: In a likely empty threat, Russia has threatened to strike #UK military facilities after the British government discussed giving #Ukraine long-range weapons. Moscow warned that any Ukrainian attacks on Russian territories with UK-supplied weapons could lead to retaliatory strikes on British military targets in Ukraine or elsewhere.

Russia has also announced that they’ll be conducting drills simulating the use battlefield nuclear weapons, marking the first public announcement of its kind.

#OTD in 1920 - The inquest into the death of Tomás MacCurtain, Lord Mayor of Cork killed by policemen in disguise on 20 March, returns a verdict of willful murder against the RIC, and indicts Lloyd George and the British government.

A Cork jury returns a verdict of willful murder against British Prime Minister Lloyd George following the killing in March of Lord Mayor Tomas MacCurtain. The verdict read: “We find that Alderman Tomas MacCurtain, Lord Mayor of Cork, died from shock and haemorrhage, caused by bullet wounds, and that he was wilfully wounded under circumstances of the most callous brutality; and that the murder was…

The Tories have been gradually dismantling and destroying our NHS for years, and now they've nearly succeeded in killing it off for good.

Is the Conservative Party worth more to you than our wonderful NHS?

Then why would you ever vote Tory any longer?

"It is then put to the home secretary that thousands of teenagers don't want to go into the army and that the majority would take the other option.

Cleverly says other options would include becoming a special constable, a firefighter or an emergency medic."

I mean...what?!

"Voluntary" litter picking, etc, I can kind of see, but emergency medic?!

On Wednesday 21st February 2024 the motion to call for a ceasefire was tabled and therefore never voted on by parliament. If you are a British citizen then please follow the link to email your MP about how wrong this is (just your name, email and postcode required) and if you are not then please reblog this post.

"I am one of your constituents, and am writing to ask you to press the government to support an immediate ceasefire and other measures to protect Palestinians who have so far survived Israel’s brutal attacks on the Gaza Strip, which have so far killed more than 29,000. 

Over 100 Palestinians were killed across the Gaza Strip from Israeli shelling on the night of Wednesday 21 February – the majority of them being women and children. Whilst the UK parliament descended into shameful chaos over a vote that never came to be, Israel was dropping bombs on Rafah ahead of a looming ground offensive.

During the day on 21st February, thousands of constituents came to exercise their democratic right and peacefully lobby MPs in parliament. The unprecedented number of people queuing in the rain for hours to see their MP had a simple message to deliver: Support an unambiguous call for an immediate ceasefire now, as articulated in a motion tabled by the SNP.

The subsequent disgraceful display within parliament on 21st February reflects the UK’s overall response to Israel’s atrocities in Gaza. The International Court of Justice (ICJ) has handed down an interim ruling affirming there is plausible evidence Israel is committing genocidal acts against the Palestinian people, yet our government is still selling weapons to Israel and has suspended funding to UNRWA, the primary agency supporting the needs of Palestinian refugees, including more than 1.5 million in Gaza.

The UK has an obligation to comply with the ICJ ordered provisional measures. This means taking action to end Israel’s war crimes and ensure humanitarian aid can reach Gaza. It is urgent for MPs to use their position to:

Call for a complete and immediate ceasefire in Gaza;

Press the UK government to immediately suspend all arms sales to Israel;

Demand the UK meets its obligations in relation to the ICJ’s provisional measures, including ensuring humanitarian aid reaches Gaza by reinstating funding to UNRWA.

Please show your commitment to these fundamental principles by signing EDM 377 ‘International Court of Justice Ruling on Gaza and the UK’s duties under the Genocide Convention’.

In recent days, some politicians and others in the media have suggested that for constituents to lobby their MP in relation to this important issue, in person or by email, constitutes improper behaviour or even harassment. I reject any such characterisation and I hope that you do too."
