David Cox (1783-1859) is one of the best artists that captured rural life in Britain. Here’s an example of his work, called Figures and Cattle in a Wooded Landscape, described by Adrian Vincent as a depiction of a “gracious and forever lost rural England”.

Secondary Legislation. Political disagreements aside (many left-liberal Peers discussing) this is an important issue. Many Acts are now stripped down to nothing to get onto the statute books and the real meat or details are added later in Secondary Legislation by the respective ministers. For instance, on the upcoming Online Safety (censorship) Bill, SL will determine which areas online providers need to censor away from the publicly accessible scrutiny of Parliament. This issue has been called out by a HoP Committee, but the state is giving vague assurances that an oversight committee can watch over it. Just a curious aspect of our legislative system that may interest you.

When police do proper policing, it's a beautiful thing. Fast food moped delivery drivers make a nuisance of themselves. Police later arrest many of them and/or their vehicles for being illegal immigrants without licences or insurance. 😀

British teen gang-raped by Israelis has her contempt conviction overturned. Israeli influence created the significant police pressure on the young woman while the British High Commission in Cyprus was looking the other way. Will the case be reopened? What do you think...

P.S. isn't the photograph chosen by the Telegraph a little subliminally strange?

Is a country still the same place with different people in it?
The answer is given here by an Arab coloniser in France:
'Here we are in Morocco, not in France'.
This is occupation
This is colonisation
It is happening in England too.

Gold ring (circa 500A.D.) found in the woods between some rocks by a deer hunter in Sweden recently

Never thought we'd be agreeing with Sean Penn! Modern times makes for strange confluences... We excised the toxic 'Independent' blather around these comments 😉

Johnson gets in a swipe at Starmer's time at the DPP conveniently ignoring Saville, during a bad tempered Question Time. The lack of focus on the grooming gangs would have been more appropriate.

"100,000" Chinese

Both for Afghans and Chinese from Hong Kong, the so-called 'Welcome Churches' organisation is helping facilitate what will be hundreds of thousands of settlers in the United Kingdom. Only 10% of Hong Kong is nominally Christian (under 5% speak English regularly) and under 1% of Afghanistan. While Christians in Britain have a range of needs, as churches also close, this organisation is helping facilitate a mass of non-Christian , non-ethnically British people to settle here. They have just held a 'Welcome' reception, with the government who have pledged almost £50million alone, to help the Hong Kong resettlement. Patel and Raab are the best examples of why having an open asylum approach leads to national betrayal later.

We also see the organisation (Non-) British Future are trying to get in on the act with WelcomeHK.org

Lots of synthetic outrage over Johnson's comments at the despatch box on Starmer ignoring Saville and yet he extended an apology.

The excusers point to the issue that he may have been head of the CPS but he wasn't the reviewing lawyer in the CPS who looked at the case...

No publicly funded organisation should be allowed to promote these politically driven interest groups without having their funding withdrawn until their senior management step down. #LGBTHM22

Further evidence of what a monstrously unBritish imposition the Online Safety Bill is shaping up to be. We're transitioning into Soviet-lite territory, under a nominally Conservative government. Mass open door immigration, plus prison for opinions that may 'harm' someone's feelings, while other crimes have a 6% clear up rate, effectively decriminalising offending.
