The recent story that Reform had taken over a Tory club is not quite as straightforward as the Spectator claimed. It appears that it hasnt been a Tory club for a while but a neo nazi venue hopenothate.org.uk/2025/05/21/r...

For those of you celebrating Easter, may I wish you joy. For everyone else, have a glorious bank holiday,and avoid the shadow duck of gloom.

On the grounds everyone likes to see Cats and Bears on social media. Here’s a Bearcat, which isn’t actually either.

Really not far to go now. Link —> petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...

Who Did this Touche`

You're donating to Ladbrokes.

I’m not sure why this is not obvious,but it seems it isn’t for some. If you support,condone or take part in an act,like setting fire to a hotel with innocent people in it, you are a domestic terrorist. Especially if your motivation is hatred of another religion or race

So now we are told basket case and specsavers “bete noire” Dominic Cummings has joined with megalomaniac Bond villain Elon Musk to,once more, shaft British democracy. “Let the manipulation of the permanently angry and the gullible begin”

It was always my opinion that the British would have refused to man the gas chambers if the Nazis had won.However,having seen people burning hotels with innocents inside and some MPs refusing to condemn it,I think my patriotism was misplaced.

Perhaps the least edifying sight this week is senior Tories leaping on the coat tails of megalomaniac Musk,knowing that the language used puts MPs in real danger. Badenoch should be condemning, not condoning vile and spurious attacks, not slavelishly repeating them.

When Hitler called for the extermination of the Jewish people, he never expected to be an active participant. Should we reassess his place in history because he only used hurty words? Would the free speech right think it was OK? Seems they would.

Odd that these positive stories have not been seen in the Mainstream media! bylinetimes.com/2024/12/20/l...

Is anybody else suspicious that the immigration figures were,like the OBR figures,wrong massively in favour of the outgoing Tory Party. Is it just a coincidence that the two most Tory issues were presented as less bad than they were?

It is essential that the UK government act responsibly and tell the British electorate how much the Russians have really interfered with our democracy. We deserve to know the truth.

Obliged to Byline times for an explanation with regard to the Alison Pearson tweet. She posted a picture of the greater Manchester police posing with supporters of Imran Khan. She then implied that it was the metropolitan police and they were pro Palestinian "Jew haters" 1/

In the first 2 years since we signed the Australian deal.Aus has exported 1700 tonnes of beef to the UK. In return, we have exported 0 tonnes.Paperwork for Aus farmers,minimal. Paperwork for UK farmers,massive. Let's not pretend the Tories care about Farmers.

Caernarfon Castle Inside the King's Head.

The Chamberlains Hand. A new addition to the caernarfon castle exhibits. It signifies the huge cost of building the castle to suppress the Welsh people.

You can tell he's a Tory,he is lion.

So we have found a Brexit benefit.Under EU rules, you can't charge VAT on school fees. It is only because of Brexit that Labour will be able to charge public schools VAT. I have to admit I spat out my tea when I read this. 🤣

Realistically, 2030 was unobtainable simply because the Conservative Party had done the minimum amount of infrastructure preparation. Johnson talked but didn't act,this is surely not a surprise as that is his normal MO.

I am sure it's entirely coincidental that Mr.Hester has made one of the largest donations to the Tory Party and his receiving £135m of NHS contracts. Nothing to see here. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Farage was lying,again. yorkshirebylines.co.uk/news/home-af...

Here's my post debunking Fraser Nelson's recent tweet and articles in the Telegraph and the Spectator. Welfare benefits are not "the biggest scandal in politics". The right-wing press misrepresenting facts & misusing statistics in pursuit of a political agenda is. open.substack.com/pub/coppolac...

So I am reminded that today it is 77 years since Winston Churchill made the Zurich speech in which he called for a kind of " United States of Europe" a European family to mutually assit and develop all its parts.The Tory Party have sullied his greatest peacetime achievement.
