Fahima is the infiltration of Muslim Brotherhood. What you look around the invasion of UK is because of people like Fahima.

Dr Lucy Snatch1 year ago

The idea of caring what football team your partner supports is even more stupid than Fahima thinking Muslim women get to choose their political opinions.

Imagine a world where people get on despite differences. That is the majority of the world pre this current generation whole are impregnated with thoughts with critical thinking removed.

Nigel Farage and Rupert Lowe are battling to stop Andy Burnham from winning the Makerfield by-election. And it's getting ugly. Reform UK are standing plumber, ex-army reservist, and councillor Robert Kenyon against Restore Britain's local businesswoman Rebecca Shepherd. Kenyon is a strong candidate. He came second in the 2024 general election, with 32 percent of the vote. The press are trying to cancel him for crude humour in old social media posts, but Reform have (mostly) stood by their man for once. Whereas Shepherd is an unknown quantity, with little public profile, but far more campaigners knocking on doors in the constituency. Which is why Restore have disputed a Times / Survation poll with a small sample size, which put Reform on 40 percent, three points behind Labour's Andy Burnham, and Restore Britain on 7 percent. Restore's canvassing figures put them on 24.6 percent. Reform's internal polling also has Restore on higher than 7 percent. Hence, why Reform's senior figures, supporters, and media surrogates manned battle stations over the last few days. Their new slogan is "Vote Restore, get Burnham." Hit pieces on Restore were published by GB News, Jewish News, Daily Mail, Spiked, the Telegraph, and the Times within hours of each other. DMs were leaked. Rumours circulated, then retracted. The dirty tricks are disappointing, and offputting to supporters who sympathise with both parties. Some Reform supporters have accused Restore of being simultaneously irrelevant, polling at 1 percent, and of splitting the vote and gifting the election to Andy Burnham; of being racist and providing no distinct policy offering than Reform; of being "useful idiots" and a Trojan Horse for the Tories. But these attacks aren't convincing. The same Conservative MPs, who have since defected to Reform, accused Farage of vote splitting in 2024. Articles criticising Restore as too extreme highlight the differences between the parties on immigration policy. As Dan Hodges suggests, the attempt to sabotage Restore's chances has produced a Streisand Effect, where more Reform voters are aware of Restore than before. Have Reform damaged Kenyon's chances? Or will Restore Britain's support evaporate, and amount to nothing more than pressure placed on Reform?

Reform keeps arguing that immigration is an issue when it isn’t. There is a by-election right now in Caerphilly and Nigel Farage’s party keeps saying that immigration is an issue there. BUT over 97% percent of people in the area were born in the UK. There are perfectly legitimate reasons to be unhappy over the state of public services in the area, but it’s not down to immigration. We need to start debating based on facts not scaremongering.

🚨 THE FARAGE ILLUSION SHATTERS Advance UK Party leader Ben Habib has delivered a blunt assessment of Nigel Farage and Reform UK, rejecting claims that Reform represents a clean break from the establishment. Asked about comments from Liz Truss suggesting the establishment is trying to infiltrate Reform UK, Habib replied: “I think Reform UK is rolling out a red carpet for the establishment.” He pointed to the intake of former Conservative figures and said recent actions reveal the party’s direction, citing Farage’s attendance at the World Economic Forum and overseas meetings. Habib’s conclusion was unequivocal: “Farage is not the pro-British national patriot that he would wish us to think.” He added: “Farage is a classic liberal, without really a joined-up political philosophy on where he wishes to take this country.” The remarks underline a growing divide on the British right — not over popularity, but over sovereignty, global influence, and whether Reform UK truly stands outside the establishment.

Meet Christopher Harborne, the billionaire bankrolling Reform UK. He moved to Thailand in the 1990s and became a Thai citizen, but he has pumped over £25 million into UK political parties, including £15 million to Reform UK and £10.2 million to the Brexit Party. How is he legally allowed to do this? A Channel 4 News investigation can reveal that Harborne specifically re-registered as a UK resident to cast his vote for the Brexit referendum whilst declaring just a few months later in a UK company documents that he lived in Thailand. It’s a move that legally enabled him to pump tens of millions into British politics. Experts are calling it a "gaping loophole". We look into the man behind Nigel Farage's £5 million gift.

🚨 One Nation MP Barnaby Joyce REJECTS left-wing claims that the party opposes the Socceroos over the team’s immigrant-heritage Australian makeup The host said many Australians view the team as proof that immigration strengthens the country, and pointed to online comparisons with One Nation's immigration policies. Joyce replied that nearly everyone in Australia has immigrant ancestry. He said this applied to him and the host, and added that most Aboriginal people also have genetics from other places. He said the debate should focus less on being an immigrant and more on whether a person will fit into Australia. Joyce described “guardrails” of community expectations, saying these protect liberty and the freedoms of others. In his view, people should adjust their outlook to align with their life in Australia. Joyce argued that if someone maintains a philosophy more attuned to their place of origin and does not temper it after moving to Australia, it would be better if they had never left that place.

David Kurten: Immigration & Managed Decline | Wide Awake Media Podcast #15 The fifteenth episode of the Wide Awake Media Podcast features leader of the UK's Heritage Party David Kurten, in a direct and uncompromising conversation examining mass immigration, digital identity, Reform UK, the Epstein files, and the risk of global war. Kurten argues that mass migration—both legal and illegal—is being deliberately facilitated by a political class committed to demographic and cultural transformation. He contends that the UK is governed by a uniparty consensus, with Reform UK increasingly indistinguishable from Labour and the Conservatives. The discussion moves from immigration to the gradual construction of digital ID infrastructure, the push towards CBDCs, the Epstein disclosures, escalating tensions with Iran, and what Kurten describes as an approaching financial reckoning underpinning much of today's global instability. 00:00 – Introduction to David Kurten 01:25 – The Real Scale of Migration 07:16 – Covid as Cover for Financial Crisis 09:51 – Demographic Transformation 12:57 – Reversing Mass Migration 17:07 – Digital ID & CBDCs 23:05 – Abortion Up To Birth? 25:55 – Depopulation Agenda 31:12 – The Epstein Files & Blackmail 35:08 – The Epstein Files & War With Iran 41:25 – Looming Financial Crisis 43:58 – The Uniparty & Reform UK 52:15 – Closing Thoughts

Dr. Andy Wakefield was attacked like no other scientist in history for questioning vaccines. Now, President Trump and RFK Jr. have shown he was right — and Wakefield says the fight for children’s health must continue. “For three decades, I’ve stood by the principle that we must protect our children by questioning a vaccine schedule that has grown unchecked and untested.” “President Trump announced a sweeping plan to reform the childhood vaccine schedule. And he did it by adopting the very recommendation I made back in 1998.” “That includes splitting the MMR vaccine into individual measles, mumps, and rubella shots… delaying the hepatitis B vaccine until age 12… removing mercury and aluminum… spacing out vaccines… and eliminating Tylenol use around vaccination.” “For the millions of parents whose children were injured, ignored, gaslit, and shamed — this is vindication. But more importantly, it’s hope.” “This is about being pro-safety, pro-transparency, and pro-child — and particularly pro the right of parents to choose on behalf of their children.” “The autism epidemic is real — and it’s time we confronted it with honesty.” Dr. Andy Wakefield

Brexit was won by the worst abuses of democracy in modern British history. Here is one of them. The "Will of the People" was used to suppress democracy after the Brexit Referendum. Lord Sumption giving the Reith Lectures addressed the Brexiters' claim that Brexit is the will of the people. He said - "This is the authentic language of totalitarianism. It is the lowest point to which a political community can sink short of actual violence." This is not about percentages. It doesn't matter what percentage voted for Brexit. It is about a referendum being used to attack the fundamental democratic right to oppose, and to promote the totalitarian division of society into the people and its enemies, the subversives and saboteurs. In the period following the referendum the so-called "Will of the People" was used to create a climate of intimidation that silenced almost all political & media opponents of Brexit. During that period Britain was not functioning as a democracy, and we are still living with its effects, pro-European politicians are still cowed by the Brexit "Will of the People". In a democracy there is government and opposition, majority and minority, competing parties and dissenting voices. There is no totalitarian unity of the "Will of the People" which makes all opponents into the enemies of the people. Where the right to oppose ends, democracy dies, and that is exactly exactly why dictators like Hitler loved referendums.

Jim Ratcliffe, "Brexit sort of unfortunately didn't umm.. It didn't turn out as people anticipated" "It was about immigration.. People fed up with the influx.. A small island like the UK can't cope with vast numbers of people.. It overburdens the NHS, traffic, the police" "The country is designed for 55 or 60 million people, now we've got 70 million and all the services break down" Man who left the UK to be an immigrant in Monaco to avoid UK tax, is complaining about immigrants coming to the UK who are paying UK taxes 🤷‍♂️ By moving to Monaco Ratcliffe avoided £4 billion in tax. So I put it to you, the reason services are underfunded is not because of immigrants who come to the UK and pay their fair share of tax. It's because of people like Ratcliffe who avoid paying their share of UK tax and so starve public services. And Brexit turned out exactly how many predicted, and arguably it's worse than many predicted. Warnings were dismissed as project fear, and of course people like Ratcliffe won't be impacted by the extend of Brexit. When you're worth over £12 billion, a 50% increase in your food shopping bill isn't even noticable

Advance UK has already changed the political debate. Over the last few months, we have released policies that had never been conceived in British public life. And within days, Reform adopted some of them and presented them as their own. Good. I could not care less who claims the credit if the policy helps save the country. This has never been about ego, ownership or party vanity. It is about forcing serious ideas into the national debate and making sure Britain gets the policies it desperately needs. If Reform wants to adopt Advance UK policies, they should. If the Conservatives want to adopt them, they should too. The same applies to Restore. The mission is simple: country before credit.
