Christopher Harborne is by far the largest donor to Nigel Farage he has donated Β£13.7m since 2019.

He lives in Thailand and owns QinetiQ defence company which makes Laser and AI weapons for the USA.

Nigel Farage is literally owned by the US Military Industrial Complex.

just like people go to places like Thailand because they know they can access under age boys and girls, others come here understanding that we do not properly care for vulnerable teenagers and they can take advantage of them and get away with it. I don`t think colour comes into it

Asylum seekers, housed in hotels in Manchester, are reaching out in their own words to address the concerns of the local community.

Please take a minute to read their letter, & share it with the people in your life who need to hear the truth about the people they are protesting.

Watch Jared Kushner's face when idiot Witkoff blurts out that they have been working on the plan for Gaza for 2 years.

They scream the quiet parts out loud these days, because they believe they are untouchable.

I remember being frightened about quicksand (East Yorkshire) It all came back to me during the terrible scene of the horse disappearing in "The NeverEnding Story" Both daughters were totally traumatised

"The Innocents" 1961 film with Deborah Kerr. Film based on The Turn of the Screw. I was about 9 years old and it was put on for Bonfire Night. It was terrifying and my friend who was at ours for the fireworks, was traumatised!

People are suggesting that Kate Middleton and Prince William don't deserve Β£25m a year from you.

Because in the next 8 weeks up until Christmas they have exactly 1 official engagement.

And that's not each, that's 1 between them (William).

Maccabi Tel Aviv fans were banned because of information from Interpol in Europe, who passed it on to the Home Office, who gave it to the Police, who banned them.

Is our Government really going to endanger the safety of our citizens just so it doesn't upset Israel?

Chinese agents are hunting dissidents across Britain. Beijing is using its espionage network to track those who rebelled against it in Hong Kong.

Brexit is pushing the UK into the arms of a Chinese government that regards democracy as an existential threat.

On the left, Skys sports correspondent saying that away fans are normally banned when they've caused violence before but "that's not the case here"

On the right, Maccabi 'fans' beating a man unconscious in Athens earlier this year.

I will keep banging on about this…

…because it is clear that the UK political & media class is utterly broken.

To the point whereby local democracy, trust in the police, quality analysis, honesty, and public safety are all being deliberately sacrificed.

UK Chancellor Rachel Reeves says she β€œcan’t leave welfare untouched”.

Treasury considering axing up to Β£1bn in VAT and insurance premium tax breaks for a scheme providing cars for disabled people.

Silence on corporate welfare. Any chance of targeting the super-rich?

totally agree, the minute we provide safe and proper routes for asylum the gangs would be redundant. Stopping trashing other Countries and making them inhospitable and then, as you say, less people would have to leave.

When was the last time you heard a politician in the media asked anything like-

-How will you make sure asylum seekers can reach the UK safely & refugees are protected?

-How will you make sure people coming to this country to work or study are treated equally & with respect?

I cannot remember.

Heres Damian Grammaticas being vague about what Maccabi fans did in Amsterdam (disgusting racist abuse is "slogans", apparently). He also doesn't mention them attacking locals in the street.

But when it comes to what was done to Maccabi fans in retaliation, he's very specific. Funny, that

Doctors are going to go on Strike again.

Nearly 50% of Doctors who passed their Medical Degree in the last 3 years are unemployed in the UK.

It used to be 1-2%.

Yet Waiting Lists are at record highs and not going down.

Why aren't they employed?

Apparently, this was "nothing to do with skin colour". Robert Jenrick just likes "mixed communities". Which is why he has also criticised very white neighbourhoods or towns and villages up and down the UK, umm... <checks notes> never.

apparently they dispute his claims and say that he has previously accused them of being left wing plants causing bad press for the right wing... they all seem dodgy
