Surround yourself with people who see a flying car and say, "Awesome!" Not people who see a flying car and say, "It's not actually flying" or "I don't see the point." This post is not about cars :)

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? . . .

At the 2026 Juno Awards, Joni Mitchell gushed about how awesome Carney is and what a piece of shit Trump is. Yesterday, October 13th 2026, after moving to the US 62 years ago, she became an American citizen. She proudly holds an American flag. Absolute fucking hypocrite.

One of the biggest scandals in this campaign should be the abysmal treatment of our seniors by changing the rules about property tax deferment. They massively increased the interest rate and changed to compound interest instead of simple interest. They are sucking seniors dry.

David Eby the moment he realized his political career is over You don't get to be the Premier of BC, have a $500,000 household income and put your kids in $10 a day daycare when that program is designed to help out struggling single moms There is no coming back from this

Hot take: If you are buying a hybrid or PHEV thinking it is the clever middle ground, you are getting played by transitional marketing. You do not get the best of both worlds. You get the compromises of both crammed into one chassis. You still copped all the legacy internal combustion liabilities: oil changes, spark plugs, complex cooling loops, filters, and scheduled servicing, while dragging around hundreds of kilos of electrical ballast. Sure, modern PHEVs give you eighty kays of EV range around town. But you are still married to the fuel bowser, still tied to dealership service schedules, and running a compromised platform that completely misses the benefits of dedicated skateboard architecture, flat floors, and proper packaging. If you have off street parking and a daily commute, stop paying a premium to drag a combustion engine along for emotional support. Commit to the clean platform and go full BEV.

Gordon Campbell had the dot com recession, 9/11 and the 2008 financial collapse. And BC was still prospering. Horgan had Covid recession but came out pretty unscathed. Now look at Eby? lol that’s wild and some of you are out here defending him!? 😂 If he was a man of honour he would step down as he’s clearly out of his element. Regardless he doesn’t deserve your vote. Power hungry typical politician. BC’s left wing base and voters have lost the plot. We need smarter folks from that end of the political spectrum or we’re in for a painful decade. And no the Greens are not even remotely a solution. They’re currently just a bunch of class warfare types who hate anyone that’s built a life of success.

Rahmeh Aladwan is a doctor in Britain. She wants people who blaspheme against Islam to be killed. People with beliefs like this do not belong in our country. I’ve written to the General Medical Council calling for her to be struck off.

Hi BC. This is your daily PSA that nothing Eby says can be counted on. He is in election mode, so he will say anything to get elected, but nothing will be done. Only his inner circle will benefit, but the taxpayers will just get a bill. Do not trust him, please.

I knew Gorton & Denton was rigged. Hannah Spencer’s campaign manager today being revealed in The Times to have broken the law by forging deals with mosques just confirms what I said at the time. When the BBC’s Chris Mason asked me immediately after the result what happened I said it in one word: “sectarianism”. People said I was a bad loser. But look at what they are literally telling us themselves. They rigged the election with local mosques. We were told early on that “deals had been made” with the mosques. I saw the “community elders” in action myself. Then we watched the Greens campaign in different languages. Whip up tensions between Hindus and Muslims. Obsess over Gaza. Call anybody who disagreed with them “far-right” and “divisive”. Hannah Spencer even downplayed Islamism, suggesting during one hustings that “right-wing politicians” were responsible for the Islamist bombing of Manchester, in 2017. All journalists saw was the weird dress sense and thought “nice fluffy Greens” and they didn’t ask any more questions. They failed to tell the real story of that campaign. Then we got the independent report showing 68% of polling stations experienced illegal family voting, which is what happens when a Muslim father or husband tells their entire family how to vote. Did the Greens call any of it out? Of course not. They denied it all. So did Greater Manchester Police. But then the election interference became so unavoidable they had to start arresting people two months after the by-election. And then the Mail uncovered similar election interference in FIFTY polling stations in Birmingham. I’m glad I got to run in that by-election because at least I got to tell the British people the TRUTH about what is happening in our country. Wake up people. The Greens are extremists. They are antisemites. They are unBritish. And they are a Trojan Horse for Islamism and Muslim sectarianism. Just look at their latest racist vote at conference, to deny Jews a homeland of their own. And how did Hannah Spencer vote? While some Green MPs opposed it, she’s not said anything about it. No doubt the mosques pulling her strings have aired their view. The Greens are a major threat to our democracy and country. They must be stopped.
🚨Breaking. Hannah Spencer’s campaign manager ADMITS mosques secretly endorsed the Green candidate despite charity rules forbidding it. I said this happened at the time. They cheated. Link below.

Finally, it's being widely talked about! Folic acid should be nowhere near staple foods. Arguably it shouldn't even be in supplements. A small proportion of the population might need folate supplements. So: let's find out who those people are, and give them folate supplements, and keep unnecessary and potentially harmful medicines out of everyone's food. There's enough crap in processed food already without adding medicine as well.

Hey @marksandspencer. Your Sourdough bread contains an ingredient anomaly. Your website list the ingredients....no mention of Folic Acid. Yet the loaf wraparound says it contains Folic Acid Anyone on cancer treatment should be concerned about the addition of Folic Acid
