"Goodbye, Old Man" by Fortunino Matania (1916) 💔

Today we remembered the fallen. We laid wreaths in Leeds, Middleton and Hunslet Cemetery on behalf of our group.

Today I paid respect to those who paid the ultimate sacrifice. Lest we forget.

🎯

For the fallen, forever in our hearts. Corbridge, Northumberland. #RemembranceDay

The Cenotaph by Will Longstaff (1879-1953)

A beautiful 1921 illustration of the Cenotaph War Memorial at Whitehall in London.

I don’t often talk about communications, but one thing I will say: the term “Third Worldism” is absolute dynamite for describing the immigration crisis in Britain. It captures so much that is wrong with the unwanted demographic changes being thrust upon us. It describes rampant crime, low- and high-level corruption, the erosion of trust, and the Hobbesian worldview present in many immigrant communities. It encompasses uncivilised cultural practices like FGM, inbreeding, and cousin marriage; archaic, clan-like extended family structures; rampant welfarism and the gobbling up of social housing; ethnic block voting and ballot harvesting; the littering and general disrespect of public spaces, including the inability to respect personal space or public etiquette. Third Worldism is a fantastic phrase.

The Danish Social Democratic Party (SDP) created Europes toughest immigration & asylum policy. They recognised the choice had become binary: we can either have mass immigration or a social safety net but NOT both. Their crucial insight backed by literally ALL the research was: “Without common culture there can be no social solidarity.” They chose social cohesion. We should do the same before we bankrupt ourselves. There is a reason why the Danes are the happiest nation on earth. @SDPhq piped.video/q4PNJgpeIYo?si=RLzi… via @YouTube

Days after the BBC dossier revealed that renowned historians warned the BBC about having unqualified & biased figures distort the truth & push woke history docs, we get this: a series on Empire by David Olusoga, a man who only has a BA in history & is obsessed with race politics I don't want a pro-Empire or anti-Empire documentary series. I want a balanced Empire series that fairly and accurate acknowledges both the good and the bad. Nothing I have seen in Olusoga's writings on Empire, colonialism or slavery leads me to believe we will get anything close to that. This week's article in the Telegraph reveals how leading historians warned the BBC about engaging fringe figures who distort British history: telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/11…

Not promptly. Gradually then suddenly.

These figures are just extraordinary. What happened to the days when (male) refugees were genuine political dissidents, opponents of tyranny, and therefore instinctive friends and supporters of women's rights? We clearly need a reboot of asylum law.

No Briton can watch this without a lump in his throat followed by a feeling of rage swelling in his breast.

Britain needs and deserves energy abundance - not scarcity, not rationing, not self-sabotage. Our plan? Rebuild reliable energy generation, restore national control, and crucially - make energy cheap again. Power is prosperity ⚡️ Read our proposal: sdp.org.uk/energy-abundance/ #energyabundance #sdp #energysecurity #publicpower

I applaud Nick Timothy for asking the right questions at Villa last night. It’s a pure demonstration of power - to decide who goes to the game and who doesn’t. And they don’t care about football. I suspect these demonstrators no very little of Gordon Cowans or Tony Daley…

.@rupertlowe10. Ask him what he really believes in. It's the short simple ones they can't cope wiht. .

I always laugh when people insist I am over-reacting to far left movements in the West. Uh, no. I lived it and I KNOW what's possible when utopians get their way.

“The problem for me with decolonising maths is that it promotes a false and racist view of history in order to justify the false and racist view that non-Europeans are less rational and less capable of abstract reasoning”.  Watch @johnarmstrong5 at the War on Science book launch take on the dangers of decolonising maths.
