The Runnymede Trust have released a new report, warning that 3 in 5 non-whites in Britain could be eligible for denaturalisation and deportation under new powers given to the Home Secretary. It's worth reading. There's a lot that remigration advocates can learn from this paper. The Home Office have not denied that they possess such powers to strip people of citizenship even if they don't have dual nationality or instant eligibility for citizenship elsewhere. The Runnymede Trust treats this like a bad thing, but these are all tools that a sufficiently courageous government could use to return quarrelsome, unwanted immigrants and their descendants to their countries of ethnic origin. Deprivation of citizenship was enshrined in law in 1914 via the British Nationality and Status of Aliens Act, which states: "The grant of a certificate of naturalisation to any such alien shall be in the absolute discretion of the Secretary of State, and he may, with or without assigning any reason, give or withhold the certificate as he thinks most conducive to the public good, and no appeal shall lie from his decision." The same language features in the 1981 British Nationality Act. The Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Act (2022), Immigration and Asylum Act (2006), Immigration Act (2014), and Nationality and Borders Act (2022) have all removed statutory hurdles for the Home Secretary to revoke citizenship. Labour have now passed the Deprivation of Citizenship Orders (Effect during Appeal) Act (2025), which prevents those stripped of citizenship from having it restored until the government exhausts all appeals against a court that rules the denaturalisation to be unlawful. Put simply: remigration is now a power that the Home Secretary possesses. If you replace obstructive civil servants and repeal the Human Rights Act (1998), there is nothing stopping the Home Secretary from getting mass deportations of both illegal and unwanted legal migrants done. This paper is the perfect example of both sides of the political aisle observing the same phenomenon, and one thinking this is evil because it stops the demographic replacement of Britain under the banner of blank slate liberalism, whereas the other sees this as a tool to restore our nation back to a coherent culture and stable demographics.

What doesn’t seem fair is that if you have to go into a care home later in life if you’ve lived off benefits all your life & never owned your own home then you get that care for free, but someone who’s worked hard managed to buy their own home then has to sell their home in order to pay for their care. Doesn’t seem right.

The London Stock Exchange is dying. We have dropped out of the top 20 IPO markets, falling behind Mexico. In 2006 London raised $51bn, this year it was $248m. A 99% decrease. Some thoughts on why this matters and how we change course 🧵

How about more parents: take internet away; have evening & morning routines that support 8 hrs sleep/completion of hw/reading/breakfast/punctuality/correct & clean uniform/courtesy & obedience. All of these would help schools to help children.
Parents want more qualified teachers in classrooms Parents want to know what their child is being taught Parents want free breakfast clubs Parents want cheaper uniforms Parents want stronger safeguards Labour is on the side of parents. The Tories & Reform aren't.

The UK is one of the most important, if not the most important, European country when it comes to defence and security - and its absence here speaks volumes.

The big question arising from this bizarre Cairngorms lynx story is not how the poor things got there; but why lynx, a secretive, beautiful British native species no larger than a labrador, have not been officially reintroduced to Britain long ago. The malevolence of a small rural cabal opposed to any kind of wildlife recovery and the stranglehold it has over weak-kneed government officials cannot be overstated. The British public overwhelmingly wants the return of beavers and storks and eagles and lynx and vibrant landscapes singing with life. But a few puce-faced individuals, stuck in a mindset of ruthless exploitation and cold dominion over nature, just won’t allow any of it. That’s why nothing ever happens. Life is short, and you can well see why some people are tempted to take matters into their own hands. Every single wild-living beaver in Britain today is there as a result of unlicensed releases, not to mention goshawks, wild boar and a host of other recovering native species. They returned *in spite of* not because of government. Meanwhile the release of 50 million non native pheasants into the landscape each year is waved through without a shred of paperwork. The Scottish authorities were so terrified this week of the wrath of rural vested interests that they turned out hordes of police, supported by acquiescent conservation blob employees, with guns and cages and heat seeking night sights and drones to seize a family of semi-tame tabbies unfortunate enough to have been left out in the woods. You’d have thought the police might have better things to do. Spare your outrage not for the fools who presumably thought they could make a difference by putting them there, but for a rural policy system that is entirely corrupted from top to bottom. And be happy that this particular lynx family is now warm and fed and safe from the keepers’ guns in Edinburgh Zoo. N.B. If you doubt anything I’ve said - ask yourself why native, vital beavers are *still* illegal in England, in spite of reams of science calling for their return. One Defra minister after the next has promised to legalise beavers before being bullied into silence by shadowy rural lobbyists. What’s the betting there’s no good news on beavers in 2025.
The two lynx seen in the Dell of Killiehuntly area near Kingussie around 7.10am on Friday, 10 January, 2025 have been safely captured. The animals are now in the care of the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland.

Well - the entire crew of season two of #AdamRichmanEatsBritain has just been robbed. We were driving from Birmingham to London, stopped at a rest, stop in Barnet for exactly 4 1/2 minutes to use the restroom, and came back to our van completely cleaned out. All of the filming equipment is gone. Both of my suitcases with all of my possessions are gone. Backpack with my laptop and all of my medications are gone . And to make matters worse, because I have trackers on some of my possessions, and because of my laptop, I can see where these things are. But we have to wait here for the police. The rest stop won’t release the security footage until the police arrive. It’s been almost an hour. I’m going to share a few of the locations where I can see my possessions. Reward for anything found.

If you like the countryside then you will love John Constable. He was probably the most boring landscape painter in history — and that's why he was one of the best...

This map perfectly shows how the UK and Ireland can be the Saudi Arabia of wind power. I think we are unexcited by wind-power in part because we assume that everyone gets to benefit from it. Framed in terms of comparative advantage, it's much more potent. globalwindatlas.info/en

Just to put #ThamesWater issue into perspective; Since 1991, it’s accrued a debt of £54billion. In the same time, they’ve paid out £57billion to their shareholders.
