Could you imagine anyone else in the history of history, let alone the President of the United States, so blatantly defiling the memory of our fallen brethren? What a terrible, broken person.

There is a simple answer to those who seek to avoid tax in this way. Apply a flee tax to all remaining UK assets such as mansions, land, yachts, supercars, homes, businesses, bank accounts, shares etc at twice the residential rate, or let them forfeit them all. #TaxTheRich
The Times list for Britain's highest taxpayers has left the UK amid speculation of tax rises

A third of nurses and a third of doctors were born overseas. Without immigrants the NHS would collapse. You are more likely to be treated by an immigrant than to be behind one in a queue. Massive underfunding of our NHS and lack of social housing were a political choice.

Even leaving any politics at all aside: as general rule, no state can allow a group of masked men to be able to close down critical infrastructure. This is basic stuff.

Men will send me emails like this and then go rampaging on the streets of Dover and Portsmouth claiming they want to keep refugees out in order to “PROTECT OUR WOMEN!” Not a single one of the young male refugees I’ve worked with has ever spoken to me with such violent misogyny.

Watching BBC News and it's striking to hear the presenters repeatedly referring to the AfD as "far-right" whilst refusing to ever say the same about the hundreds of actual masked blackshirts currently swarming British ports

Govt have condemned “protest” (not a protest lads, they illegally shut down Dover port, and rounded on Portsmouth last night). No charges though. No arrests. Just a strongly worded statement.

There is no example in history of a far-right party taking over that did not end in disaster for the mass who supported it and thought it was on their side. And, unfortunately, for everyone else too. Will people never learn?

Hahaha. We need so much more of this Private Eye style ridicule when it comes to Farage. No one should be taking him seriously any more.
Wildfire in Clacton
AS temperatures soared on Friday, Essex fire authorities reported things were so bad that a man's pants had caught fire.
The individual, identified as Nigel Farage, had claimed Essex police had told him to keep away from his by-election declaration.
"We've never seen such an enormous fire coming from a single pair of Union Jack Y-fronts," said a police spokesman. "We urge members of the public to avoid pants on fire by at least coming up with a half-decent excuse for their cowardice."

So Burnham received £345,000 in donations in the year before becoming an MP, compared with Farage's £5,000,000. Presumably what has 'shocked' the Express, is that everything was actually declared by Burnham.

That is an odd fact. William Herschel, a German immigrant, wanted to name the planet he had seen from his garden in Bath after English king, George III. James Christy named Pluto’s moon after his wife Charlene. Char was her nickname and he added “on”. He only found later Charon was a Greek figure!

I'm a little surprised Tim Montgomerie was unaware criticism isn't allowed at Reform UK Ltd. and particularly so of the leader (see No.2).
An image of a cream coloured square on which is written the following:

"Warning Signs of a Cult From The Cult Education Institute

1) The leader is always right.
2) Criticism of the leader or questioning the leader is considered persecution.
3) Anything the leader does is justified, no matter how harmful it may be.
4) The leader is the only source of truth, everybody else is lying.
5) Disciples must be devoted to the leader never question him."

Trump lost the 2020 election and tried to stage a coup to stay in power.  He should have never been allowed to run for office again because the US has a Constitutional ban on insurrectionists holding office. Like the Confederates, had Trump been held accountable, we wouldn’t be in such a mess…

Farage rejected offer of tax-payer security because he “wanted security at the same level as the Home Secretary who has the highest level of protection among govt ministers” Yet, on and on he whines. Demanding the highest public office with none of the scrutiny. liveapp.inews.co.uk/category/464...
Nigel Farage declined offer of taxpayer-funded security
The Reform leader's spokesman told The i Paper it was a downgrade on the state-funded security he had previously received
13 July 2026, 3.10pm 

Nigel Farage, who is routinely accompanied by bodyguards, has claimed to be "the most physically and verbally attacked public figure or politician of modern times"The i Paper has learned he was offered a taxpayer-funded bodyguard, car and trained driver supplied by private contractors.
The offer followed a July 2025 review by Parliament's former security director Alison Giles, and specified that it could be upgraded for more high risk events.
The royal and VIP executive committee (Ravec), responsible for the security of the royals, the prime minister and the home secretary, was brought in to help assess the threat faced by MPs in February 2024.
One parliamentary source claimed Farage was unhappy with the offer as he wanted security at the same level as the Home Secretary, who has one of the highest levels of protection among government ministers. This was denied as "false" by a Reform spokesman who said the leader did not make specific requests.
