https://x.com/YorkshiremanDan/status/2087625866792845361 Alex Phillips was criticised for what she said over many many months , which was nothing but lies, first about those involved with Advance UK and now Restore Britain. The latter party there she has been particularly vile.

Yet she continued to spout nothing but vitriolic nonsense at young men who simply want this country to have a future.

You bastards won't grind us down. Ann Widdecombe was murdered by a nut job leftist because of the sort of rhetoric Alex Phillips uses about Restore Britain. It's downright dangerous and you should be ashamed of yourself, along with the rest, for not calling her out for that behaviour....

A man who repeatedly dropped a stone slab on a rough sleeper's head has been convicted of his murder for a second time.

Sergio Lemori repeatedly dropped the heavy object onto Andrew O'Connell, who was unknown to him, as he was sleeping in Royal Pavilion Gardens Brighton shortly before midnight in August 2018.

Lemori was later sentenced to life imprisonment, but after serving more than six years he successfully appealed on the basis of diminished responsibility.

The case was re-heard at Hove Crown Court on 27th July and Lemori was again convicted on 6th August. On 11th August he was re-sentenced to life imprisonment.

Mr O'Connell was found at 7.10am the morning after the attack and despite being taken to hospital, died two days later. He was 54...

Let me explain to you what I hate about the military.

It lies.

I don’t like it. Not even a little bit.

My mind drifts back to Afghanistan in particular. And the two tours I did there.

I remember how awful the Afghan army was. Way back in 2010. I remember they objectively couldn’t fight their way out of a wet paper bag.

I remember thinking what a waste of time it was; training them. They didn’t listen and all they seemed to want to do was molest young boys.

I remember an entire well equipped battalion of ANA begging me for air support. Because a couple of Taliban harassed them with small arms.

I also remember writing God knows how many reports detailing this. I also remember being yelled at for what I wrote. I mean REALLY screamed at.

“Why does your Blue 1 say the ANA didn’t do X, Y, or Z? That just means YOU failed to make them successful. Every success is theirs, and EVERY failure is yours. Do you fucking understand?”

I had that actual conversation. I’m sure I’m not the only one.

Then I’d see reports from my higher to even higher. SITREPs with a glowing review of Afghan capability. It was a miracle they hadn’t won the war with the shit these colonels and generals were saying.

Fast forward to summer 2021. I hadn’t been to Afghanistan since 2013. But when I watched the crumble of the Afghans in real time, I just remember thinking “yep, that’s about right.”

It was just NOT a surprise to me. It wasn’t. Others who were with me on the ground knew this as well, we had the same read.

So when generals and politicians say there was no way they could see it coming, I call defiant BS. Every one of us knew that would be how it ended.

We got into that situation because our truth was filtered into lies. And we punished people for telling the truth. Don’t take my word for it. I’m sure this will create a thread of hundreds of comments echoing the same thing.

Have we solved this problem in the military though? Reporting truthfully? I don’t think we have. In fact, I KNOW we haven’t.

So let this post serve as a shot across the bow that this must change. Because the next guys we fight won’t necessarily be inbred terrorists with AK47s, mandresses, and flip flops.

Like clockwork.

After week of hit pieces trying to sabotage a pact between Rupert Lowe and Nigel Farage, the man who fired the opening salvo suggests Reform work with the Conservatives instead.

Heath's advice to Reform is: Don't reconcile with the MP you expelled and voters you alienated for having your policies before you did. Reward the unrepentant shepherds of the Boriswave instead!

To anyone who took the Telegraph's bait: you are being manipulated by people who do not have the country's interests at heart. https://x.com/Con_Tomlinson/status/2087797043724955815

This author who attacks Restore on behalf of Britain's Jewish community is apparently a member of Habib's Great British PAC and a former unsuccessful candidate for Reform. I actually wrote a tweet yesterday criticising his arguments, but decided against posting it...

More grade inflation in our education system

"Boys also extended their lead over girls, with 28.9 per cent of male entries getting at least an A grade, compared with 28 per cent of female entries.

Overall, one in four entries – 28.5 per cent – got at least an A, which is a record high from 28.3 per cent last year, 27.8 per cent in 2024 and 27.2 in 2023.

Meanwhile, 9.6 per cent got an A*, compared with 9.4 per cent last year, 9.3 per cent in 2024 and 8.9 per cent in 2023."
