Farming has decimated Britain’s wildlife, especially birds - that’s a fact, even DEFRA sees it. Animal agriculture is at the heart of it, driving as it does intensive crop production to feed intensive animal farming with an incredible reduction in food value returned to us.

We have a water crisis, actual now and only deepening as the climate crisis bites. One thing we can do about that is change what we eat. Right now animal farming uses almost 25% of our entire clean drinking water. We could save that. buff.ly/HMdtUQ0

The difference between the performance of immigrants in England and Western Europe is staggering. (20 pts equals a year of learning.) I looked at this in detail in the post - it can't be explained away by language or relative advantage of different immigrant communities. There is a policy factor.

Lowe going even lower. An official carrying out the policies of an elected government is threatened with imprisonment. What's going on here is deeply disturbing.
Rupert Lowe

A high-ranking official in the Home Office is today ordering where to send those invaders that arrived in Portsmouth last night.

Which is the next Piddington, or Epping, or Crowborough, or Thetford?

I want that man or woman to know that if they give the order to place hundreds of unvetted young men into a British community, then a Restore Britain Government will aim to prosecute them.

This is retrospective.

If we win power, and we're already the fourth largest political party through membership, that official will be dragged through the courts.

With prison the ultimate aim.

Currently, we are fourth favourite with the bookmakers to win the most seats well ahead of the Lib Dems and the Greens. For a six month old party, that is impressive.

But we need more.

Lend us your support and give this threat real teeth.

That official needs to know that there will be consequences for their actions.

Not in 2029, but now. Today. 2026.

That is what Restore Britain is promising the British people.

Consequences.
