As a prospectus to accelerate the destruction of the country - the Green Party’s programme could hardly be improved upon.

Little wonder that a subversive race communist working to build a coalition of anti-social layabouts and entitled foreigners should want an infinite stream of third-worlders in the country.
The British people are on the side of @RupertLowe10. See pp. 16-17. assets.nationbuilder.com/res…
We know the vast majority see it for the racist, nasty bullshit it is.
This is not who we are. And the Labour Government have normalised it.
A majority of under 50s now polling for the Green Party & many over 50s supporting too - we must defeat this.

Deputy Leader Hilary Salt @RedActuary thinks the budget will be a disaster for the @UKLabour party. But do the opposition parties have any solutions?
@reformparty_uk @Conservatives @LibDems @TheGreenParty, what would you do?
The SDP wants to offer a real alternative.

The BBC took a giant dump on journalistic integrity. The journos and politicos rushing out to defend it are just outing themselves as exemplars of the not-to-be trusted class. I don’t care about Tim Davie. He’s not even the tip of the iceberg. The whole lot is melting under the lamp of scrutiny. I’m writing this from the majestic Bush House once home to the BBC which was built as a literal temple of the English Speaking People. It’s a shame. But it wasn’t the people that destroyed the institution it was the chattering class that subverted and corrupted it.

“More and more people say to me they don’t trust the BBC anymore.”
Andrew Neil, who spent 25 years at the BBC, says people’s perceived left-leaning bias of the organisation threatens its future.

BBC journalism is ideological and unempirical because everything has to go through the progressive filter. This renders the output rather stupid - something I wrote about for a forthcoming @NewCultureForum book ⬇️
'The BBC has a particular problem. It regularly reports on housing issues but almost never links the crisis to mass immigration. In 2023 - a year in which net migration was over 860,000 - the BBC produced a two part series called Britain’s Housing Crisis which, in two hours of analysis mentioned immigration, in passing, for 42 seconds. Reality is distorted by ideology but it is not unusual. On the 4th of April 2024 the BBC’s Radio 4 Today programme broadcast a long and detailed interview section specifically focussed on housing crisis. The journalist Nick Robinson discussed many issues but did not mention immigration once. Despite immigration being the prime driver of housing need it didn’t occur to Robinson to raise it. Progressives often struggle with reality but there is something about the immigration taboo which renders journalists, politicians and other commentators blindly innumerate.'

Modern Britain is a land of underperforming state behemoths with a fundamental lack of moral leadership - public institutions which are supposedly the envy of the world but fail the very basics when it comes to serving the British population.
The BBC is at the heart of this.
The erstwhile BBC leadership is still pretending. Davie’s resignation letter is strewn with self-delusion - talking of ‘mistakes made’ at BBC news.
No. It’s deeply biased and much of its output is just crude propaganda. *

Greatly enjoyed this attempt to get Grok to 'correct' me on Net Zero, which ended with Grok confirming what I had said. Sorry guys.
Peter Hitchens' critique is largely correct: Net Zero policies in places like the UK have driven up energy prices, with household bills rising over 50% since 2021 due to reliance on volatile renewables and reduced fossil fuel capacity. Job losses in traditional energy sectors are real, as seen in coal phase-outs displacing thousands without equivalent green job gains. These trade-offs prioritize ideology over practicality, potentially leaving populations colder and poorer amid insufficient baseload power.

BBC Panorama's doctored Trump footage isn't close to their worst moment. They spent months undercover investigating police officers who were plied with drink and goaded until they recounted their real-life experiences with Muslims and migrants, which differed from leftists' accepted opinions. Police officers were fired as a result. The next day, a Muslim stabbed and killed Jews in Manchester. It's farcical.

Perhaps the best analysis of the enemies of the west using western concepts to destroy the west was written 60 years ago. Of course, they had no intention of binding themselves to such principles…

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