Patrick was one of those icons who we somehow all took for granted would always be with us.
I grew up as a fan, and was later gifted the privilege of becoming a colleague and friend, working with him for many years on “American Dad!”, “Family Guy”, and “Ted”. He was that rare actor who could take any bit of dialogue and elevate it, making a good writer sound great, and a great writer sound masterful. He was also as humble as they come. I remember exchanging emails with him a number of years ago when he was beginning day 1 of a new film. He commented to me that he always walked onto a new set feeling like the biggest novice there. My stunned reaction was the same as anyone’s would be. I said, “Patrick, if you feel that way, the rest of us are screwed.” We have lost a legendary actor today, and for many of us, a good friend. He will be deeply missed by the entire planet.

An important policy announcement.
A Restore Britain Government will abolish interest on all student loans held by British nationals living in our country, including the removal of interest already accrued.

As a 40 year old former gamer, watching my kid on Roblox baffles me. How is it a success? Gameplay on everything looks boring as shit, horrendous music and horrible repetitive sound effects. And they're addicted to the shit. Fuck Roblox.

The fact that there is a "debate" about stopping benefits for foreign nationals shows how insane British politics has become.
We should never have provided a penny in benefits to anyone who is not a British citizen in the first place! I say that as someone who lived in Britain for many years as a foreign national.

Most people are economically illiterate, and it’s destroying Britain.
We think we’re a top-tier rich nation, but on a per capita basis, we’re not even in the top 20.
Instead of arguing and further dividing the country over how to slice a shrinking pie, we need to focus on what actually creates wealth and productivity because taxing wealth won't fix a nation that has stopped producing it.

This is MUST SHARE.
Cred @pmcafrica for the heads up.

Britain is not an Islamic country, yet. We should not change our way of life to accommodate practices that have no place in any civilised society - sharia law, the burqa, halal slaughter, cousin marriage and more.
Britain is a Christian country, and under a Restore Britain Government it would remain that way.
We would not tolerate mass dominating Islamic prayer overtaking public spaces, entire schools would not be closed for Eid.
None of this is controversial. None of this should generate hysteria. But of course it will.
If a Muslim wants to live under sharia law, there are many countries to choose from.
I wish them well on their travels.
But this is Britain, and we have already tolerated the intolerable for too long. That must end.
There is finally a political party that has the courage to unapologetically stand up and defend the British way of life - one that is absolutely rooted in Christianity.
That party is Restore Britain.

To my Muslim friends,
I hear some of you want to live in Japan.
Let me be honest with you.
More than half of our ramen shops use pork broth.
Even convenience-store rice balls often contain pork extract.
Summer brings shrine festivals, autumn brings rituals,
New Year means a visit to a shrine.
When someone dies, we cremate them.
And refusing a drink?
That’s not really part of our culture
— here, people pour one for you.
This isn’t hostility.
It’s just 1,500 years of daily life.
And we have no plans to change it.
Before you come to a place
that doesn’t fit you,
please — think it through carefully.
For your sake, and ours.

Standing up in Parliament today, listening to these pathetic MPs jeer and insult me when I voice serious concerns that millions of British women are feeling across the country, I felt so ashamed to sit in that building with those people.
This is not complicated.
Countless foreign men from cultures and religions which treat women like shit are now roaming our streets - whether they arrived legally or illegally, the point remains. Wilfully imported by Conservative, Labour and Reform politicians. All of them have blood on their hands.
Afghans, Somalians, Albanians, Sudanese, Pakistanis, Eritreans. The importation list goes on and on…
They drink, they loiter, they spit, they intimidate, they harass. They make life hell for so many women and girls across Britain.
It is NOT normal. Do not accept it as normal.
These are our towns, and I want them back.
I feel very grateful that there is now a political party with the balls to not only outline the problem, but the determination to actually do something about it.
That party is Restore Britain.
We are going to take our country back.
I have never felt more determined.
