Various journalists asking why I signed the 'racist' Save Europe Act.
It isn't particularly complicated.
I want tens and tens of millions of illegals, freeloaders and criminals removed from our continent.
The only way to Save Europe.

One of the strangest things on Question Time was watching a Liberal Democrat blame "Airbnb" for Britain's housing crisis. Not the fact that for every 1 new home built in the last 10 years our useless politicians also allowed roughly 4 new people to arrive in Britain.

What a heartbreaking week it has been. Sir Patrick Stewart was a friend, a colleague, and a magnificent actor. From the stage to the bridge of the Enterprise, he brought intelligence, grace, and a deep sense of humanity to everything he did. Captain Picard stood for the best of us, and so did the man who played him. I was filled with affection and admiration for him and his work.
My heart goes out to Sunny and his family. He will be deeply missed.

You see that dip in global life expectancy in the 1950s?
That was caused by one man, Mao Zedong.
Mbappe should have apologised only for not being ruder about him.

Only £15? Just come out and say you hate the poor. £50 or nothing, fascist.
The Green Party would make the minimum wage £15 an hour - no matter your age.

One thing that's surprised me about Andy Burnham is the extent to which he just lies.
He says this morning small boats are because of Brexit and "we can't return people".
The FACTS:
In last 5 years of Dublin agreement the UK took in far more migrants than it sent back.
2016: net 200
2017: net 150
2018: net 1000
2019: net 500
2020: net 800
Five years = net 2,500 more migrants than sent back.
Plus, now we'd have to sign up to the migration and asylum pact so the numbers will be enormous.
He knows this. His advisors know this.
They are just lying to you.

To those MPs, usually Labour, constantly banging on about Bangladesh, Pakistan, Palestine? I have the following advice...
Go to your constituency and LOOK AROUND.
Dump, after dump, after dump.
Society collapsing, public services non-existent, schools crumbling away.
The contract between the state and the taxpayer has completely broken down.
We are on the verge of something quite ugly.
So I wish the Bangladeshis over there well, I really do. But to be brutally honest, I just don't care.
Our concern, as British MPs, should be about what is happening in our constituencies, our communities, our country.
OBVIOUSLY.

Six police surround myself and my wife and arrest us at home. This is from the police bodycam footage. We’re currently taking action against Bedfordshire police for this outrageous arrest. Myself and my wife were clearly soft targets, not exactly hardened criminals but they handcuffed both anyway …all charges dropped after a couple of months with no apology or explanation. The children were terrorised and they’ll never trust the police again.

British politicians adopted Net Zero in the knowledge that our 1% global contribution to carbon emissions is negligible but argued that our example would persuade others to adopt it.
I think it’s fair to say that argument is dead as the warnings about energy grid failure mount.

V much enjoyed debating whether UK should pay slavery reparations. Of course not
The descendants of slaves have a far better quality of life than if their ancestors had never left Africa
Caribbean people live 10+ yrs longer & are 10 times richer than W. Africans

We call on France to exercise restraint when dispersing the freedom fighters on the streets of Paris. These brave warriors for justice must receive immediate humanitarian aid, and their safety must be guaranteed in accordance with international law. Failure to comply will leave us no choice but to bring a case before the ICJ, in close cooperation with that renowned champion of human rights, Afghanistan.

The glorious spectacle of Timothy Miller wearing a burka
spectator.com/article/the-gl…
Brendan O'Neill, Spectator 16th Oct
Crack open the warm bitter. Dust down the bunting. Put Elgar’s ‘Nimrod’ on repeat. For at last we have something to make every true English heart swell with pride. It’s the stirring sight of that 76-year-old geezer who was arrested for wearing a burka attending court yesterday in… a burka. Oh, this blessed plot!
His name is Timothy Miller. He’s from Southampton. On 12 September he was arrested at an anti-immigration protest for parading about in an entombing niqab. The cops accused him of using the Islamic veil to conceal his identity. Not so, he replied: I really am an ageing student of Allah.
He repeated this defence at Portsmouth magistrates’ court yesterday. He lifted his veil – I’m cracking up – to confirm his name, address and date of birth. He then said he is ‘studying’ Islam and he wears the burqa to gain a ‘greater understanding’ of the faith. His draping veil was flawlessly accessorised with a fetching black handbag. . .
The sourpusses of the Islamo-left will wail ‘Islamophobia!’. They’ll accuse him of ridiculing Islamic dress. But the burqa is ridiculous. We didn’t need a pensioner from Southampton to tell us that. It is cruel, brutish, backward, sexist and profoundly anti-social to make women drape themselves in public like this. If you’re alarmed when a white male pensioner pulls on a sackcloth but cool when a brown-skinned woman is forced to do so, you might want to have a word with yourself.
It’s possible this case will force some serious head-scratching in public life. Like, why is it potentially a crime for a British pensioner to cover his face but fine for a Muslim woman? Is it because she believes Muhammad flew to heaven on a winged horse and that women must wholly surrender the self to divine decree? If I embrace such truthless dogmas, can I also wear a mask on the street? . . .

Stephen Kinnock’s claim that there were no boat people because we were in the European Union is a straightforward lie. Illegal immigrants flooded in by lorry, train and cars. They disappeared into towns/cities and couldn’t be properly counted. When advances in technology made these methods of transport much harder to use the illegal migrants took to boats, courtesy of the people smugglers. Since the boats are usually interdicted on arrival the counting is easier. Nothing to do with being in or out of the EU.

Left-wing MPs when it comes to tributes:
Jo Cox - Murdered by a far-right extremist.
David Amess - We lost David.
Every year.
Jonnt retweeted
He was murdered by an Islamic extremist. Five years later and we still have leaders who miss out on that important point.
Five years ago today, Sir David Amess was killed while serving the people of Southend West.
I knew David as a kind, tireless colleague who dedicated his life to public service. His death was a terrible reminder of the risks faced by those in public life, and of our responsibility to ensure that everyone can serve their communities without fear.
Today, we remember David’s extraordinary commitment to the people he represented, and the lasting loss felt by his family, friends and all who knew him.
