Daily Mail now complaining about immigrants LEAVING Britain.

The same Daily Mail that complained when the UK was kept out of what became the EU, and then bitterly opposed our membership.

The same Daily Mail that idolised Hitler and the 'Blackshirts' and, er, acts as if it still does.

'The warning was issued by the HSE, who advised people to get both the flu and COVID vaccines if they haven’t already received them. They also advised people not to go to a hospital for care unless it is an absolute emergency and to first see their GP or pharmacist if they have flu-like symptoms.'

Remember when, in the post-Referendum years, Remain had over 50% support in the polls, but the BBC ignored Remainers because the two main parties in Parliament were pro-Brexit. But now the BBC says it has to give massive coverage to Reform UK, because it has 30% in the polls.

It could not be more clear that Russia poses an immediate threat to our democracy.

The govt must take this threat seriously, cracking down on dirty money in politics in the upcoming Elections Bill & conducting criminal investigations into Russian interference in our elections.

Some people don't understand the USA's Anti-Vax movement.

1. The rich people are vaccinated and will be no matter what they say.
2. They will profit from your illness, far more than providing vaccinations.
3. They are happy for you to die, they think they can replace you with AI

Incredibly brave man.

Next time a maniac commits some atrocity, remember that for every Islamic terrorist there are millions of peaceful Muslims just living a peaceful life.

Or, like this wonderful guy, risking everything to save strangers of a different religion.

He owns a fruit shop in Sutherland

Following Brexit, the UK left nearly all EU programmes through which the Union dedicates resources for specific purposes.

UK would also be wise to reapply for European civil protection (which covers disasters) and Brexit does not prevent the UK from rejoining this mechanism
Why UK should also rejoin European civil protection - UK in a changing Europe
Sebastién Maillard argues that the UK should rejoin European civil protection as part of its reset with the EU.
