I've been Charley on social media for over a decade & I've also had IRL harassment so no personal photo or surname on my profile.

But if you ever want to know what I'm like & who I am, in 2018 I did a video for Final Say for All about me & why Brexit was personal:

Any future for the Conservative Party means facing all this. All the bad things done by bad men in the name of Brexit.

Face switching from a Remain government who called a referendum and bolloxed the delivery
overnight into one that destroyed itself with an act of national + international self-harm
Arron Banks notes of old

One day the Conservatives will have to face what happened to Dominic Grieve in Beaconsfield.

Arron Banks & co had highly respected Conservative MPs deselected by entryism for opposing their Brexit cult.

Their Tory entryism hollowed out the Tories, no wonder now collapsing

So ICE is using taxpayers' money to concentrate into a large single site all the detained people who have been judged inferior by the Trump Administration?

#ThisIsAmerica
BIG news from @bloomberg.com, which confirms that ICE has gone ahead and *purchased* multiple commercial warehouses with the aim of converting them into mass detention camps.

This is likely to be the big detention story of 2026 — literal warehousing of people.

ICE Begins Buying ‘Mega’ Warehouse Detention Centers Across US
Plans for such centers and jails in nearly two dozen communities have sparked protests over suitability, proximity to homes and schools.

I have come to believe that Matt Goodwin is making deliberately asinine statements on X-Twitter as correction bait to maximise his blue-tick earnings.

Not all Remainer Tories chose to abandon Remain voters.
Some paid a high price for continuing to hold the same views about Europe and speak out about the harm of Brexit.

These people take figures and extrapolate them into xenophobic panic

Tldr: While census data shows 48 per cent of lead tenants **in London** social housing were foreign-born
Reform UK types use that for all UK

+ more than two-thirds of those lead tenants born outside the UK hold a British passport
Fact check: Foreign-born people, not necessarily foreigners, occupy 48% of London’s social housing
Key context is missing from a widely shared online claim about the proportion of social housing that foreigners occupy in Britain’s capital London.

"Reform is trying to capture something different: a compact with "alarm-clock Britain," the people who get up early, pay their taxes, and feel ignored"

I set my alarm for 6:15AM and I'm already at work, Matt.
But I'm never voting for Reform UK

Most of your voters are retired so don't need alarms.

How odd that @danielderhonnda.bsky.social aka "Lark Rise to Cancelford" blocked me after I asked him if he was Matt Goodwin 🤔
He's certainly pushing the same Reform UK / GB News agenda.

Matt Goodwin took to his substack to deceitfully explain why he deflected a #bbcqt question about Prince Andrew to focus on the favoured far-right talking point of grooming gangs (but only the Asian ones).

His habit of writing in the third person is peculiar.

Maybe we should all chip in to buy Matt Goodwin a ticket back to Hungary so he can be happy again?

Just to be completely clear - this British Army Vet was NOT forced out of military housing to accommodate Afghans - who, by the way, put their own lives at risk to support and protect British soldiers.

Just ever more rage-baiting by Matt!
