🇬🇧🌹 880,000 MEN WHO NEVER GOT TO GROW OLD.
880,000 lives cut short.
880,000 families left to grieve.
A generation that gave everything and asked for nothing in return.
THE FIRST WORLD WAR. 1914–1918.
Around 880,000 British servicemen lost their lives.
They were sons, husbands, fathers, brothers and friends. Ordinary men who left their homes, kissed their loved ones goodbye and marched towards an uncertain future.
So many never returned.
Behind every name was a family. Behind every casualty was a life filled with hopes, dreams and plans for a tomorrow that never came.
Some lie beneath the fields of Flanders. Others rest far from home, their final resting places unknown.
More than a century has passed, but their sacrifice must never become just another chapter in a history book.
They were real people. They were loved. They were missed. And they still deserve to be remembered.
🌹 880,000 lives. Not one forgotten.
🇬🇧 WE WILL REMEMBER THEM. 🇬🇧
Lest We Forget. 🌹 – at Rhyl, Wales

Tax his land, Tax his bed,
Tax the table, At which he's fed.
Tax his tractor, Tax his mule,
Teach him taxes are the rule.
Tax his work, Tax his pay,
He works for peanuts anyway!
Tax his cow, Tax his goat, Tax his pants, Tax his coat.
Tax his ties, Tax his shirt, Tax his work, Tax his dirt.
Tax his tobacco, Tax his drink, Tax him if he Tries to think.
Tax his cigars, Tax his beers, If he cries Tax his tears.
Tax his car, Tax his gas, Find any way To tax his ass!
Tax him all he has, then let him know
That you won't be done Till he has no dough.
When he screams and when he hollers;
Then tax him more, take all his dollars
Then tax his coffin, Tax his grave,
Tax the sod in Which he's laid...
Put these words Upon his tomb:
‘Taxes drove me to my doom...'
When he's gone, Do not relax,
It's time to apply Inheritance Tax!

The Cost of Britain 🇬🇧
Here is the single MADDEST number in today’s Budget - and the Chancellor didn’t mention it once in his speech 👀
From April, the National Living Wage rises to £13.21 an hour.
For a full-time 40-hour week, that is £27,477 a year.
That’s GREAT right?? 🤔
At the same time, today’s Budget leaves the 40% Higher Rate tax threshold FROZEN at £50,270 right through until April 2031.
Do the maths on that:
In Britain today, earning just 1.8x the minimum wage now classes you as a Higher Rate taxpayer.
When the 40% tax band was created, it was meant for the top 3.5% of earners - bank directors and senior executives.
Today, a skilled tradesperson, experienced nurse, police sergeant or salaried worker earning 1.8x the legal minimum wage hands over:
❌ 42p of every extra pound to HMRC (40% Income Tax + 2% NI)
❌ 51p of every extra pound if they have a student loan
That single threshold freeze is quietly pulling an extra £34 billion a year out of working people’s pay packets - without the government ever having to announce a headline tax rise.
Pushing minimum wage up from the bottom
Whilst freezing the 40% tax trap at the top
How can earning 1.8x minimum wage possibly be classed as a “higher earner” in 2026?

So this is the Manager of the Weatherspoons (The Star) in Gosport that has banned people wearing the poppy from entering the pub because he says the poppy is a “POLITICAL STATEMENT “

To any young ones out there who think the state pension doesn’t matter or should go — please take a moment to listen. My husband is about to retire. He’s paid into workplace pensions for over 40 years, working process and manual jobs. Not high-paid roles, just decent above-average wages for that kind of work. He stayed at one place for 18 years and another for well over 20. Over that time the companies changed schemes and pots — things he had no say in — and sorting it all out now has been a right hassle. Workplace pensions do have a big advantage: the employer pays in as well (under the rules it’s at least 3% of qualifying earnings, on top of what you put in). If you were only paying into your own private pension today, you wouldn’t automatically get that employer money. Even so, after all those years of him and his employers putting money in — amounts that could easily add up to several thousand pounds a year in total contributions — he’s looking at something that, if he’s lucky, might cover roughly half a month’s wage each month from the whole lot in retirement. A lot of ordinary workers end up in a similar position. Changing jobs means multiple pots, contributions can be at the minimum levels, and growth doesn’t always turn into the kind of income people hope for once fees, markets and inflation are taken into account. It’s doubtful many of you will build a private pension that does much better on its own. The state pension is still the safety net underneath all of that. Right now the full new state pension is around £241 a week (just over £12,500 a year), and it rises under the triple lock. For people who haven’t built huge private pots — which is most of us who aren’t in high-paid jobs — it makes a real difference. Support it and fight to keep it strong. It’s your safety net too, not just for the generation retiring now.

What us boomers didn't get.
But we managed.
'Free' childcare.
15 hours 'free' childcare came into effect in 2010. Even if you don't go to work.
'Free' breakfasts at school.
Came into effect in 2025.
Statutory maternity pay.
Came into effect in 1975. But even then, you had to have worked continuously for 2 years with the same employer.
Paternity pay.
Came into effect in 2003.
They've never had it so good. Today's whingers.

Pensioners who are on state pension only have £13,000 per annum to live on.
MPs have nearly £100,000 per annum, plus expenses, help with heating, subsidized meals and alcohol in the House of Commons. They get a golden goodbye when booted out. They get gold plated pensions.
And that b1tch Miriam Cates thinks it's old people who are the problem. 🙄🤬

£1.396 TRILLION. Let’s let that sink in.
That’s the UK Government’s net public sector pension liability in its 2024–25 accounts.
During the same year, public sector employees contributed £19.5 billion towards their pensions.
These are long-term pension commitments, not an immediate bill, and the figure is after scheme assets are deducted.
But with taxpayers funding public services and the Government facing enormous financial pressures, shouldn’t we be having a much more open conversation about the long-term affordability of these commitments?
Who is explaining the numbers to the taxpayer?

This is the 4th seat that has been handed to the left due to Restore splitting the vote in the last few weeks.

🚨 THIS MAKES INTERESTING READING.
When these rubber boats set off from France overloaded, the French are breaking maritime law by not intercepting them and returning them to shore. When these illegal migrants boats have sailed almost 3/4 of the way to the UK and now in British waters, the RNLI and Border Force are sent out by the Coastguard on the instructions of HM Government to intercept them . They do this because if the rubber boats are allowed to land on uk soil under their own steam then everyone on board becomes an illegal immigrant and by law MUST be detained and deported asap. However when they are picked up at sea, even if only 200 yards offshore, and in no danger whatsoever, then the RNLI and Border Force have changed the status of the illegal immigrants to “ Disembarked Persons” They are no longer illegal because the RNLI and Border Force brought them into the country, albeit only a few hundred yards. They are then eligible to claim asylum in the uk and receive all the benefits that go with that. This is done deliberately by the UK government as they WANT these illegals here. Which takes us back to the French . They won’t intercept them and bring them back to shore because if they did then the same laws would apply. They would become “ disembarked persons” and be eligible to claim asylum in France . But the French don’t want them there . They want rid of them and can Chuck them on a boat as they are already in France illegally. It’s all a game from Macron and Starmer. Rule bending to suit their agendas. These small boats are NOT AT RISK. by the time they are intercepted . They have already crossed the busiest parts of the shipping lanes. They are picked up to change their status , nothing more. Yet the RNLI are still taking donations to fund their taxi service . Defund the RNLI. There are adequate independent lifeboats around the uk to deal with real maritime emergencies.
This proves both the French and British governments are complicit. They are actively allowing the facilitation of this illegal migration farce!

Every time we put petrol into
our cars at a fuel station, the government are fleecing us. And it’s not just the fuel duty and VAT at the petrol pump price.
£70 of petrol at 197.9p a litre buys just 35.37 litres - a partial fill for many cars. Of that £70, £18.73 is fuel duty and £11.67 is VAT. That is £30.40, or 43%, taken by the government before the engine starts.
That £70 itself was already taxed. To have £70 left after 20% income tax and 8% National Insurance, you first earned roughly £97.22. Another £27.22 was taken at source. On this single fill alone, nearly 60% of the money you worked for has already gone to the government.
It does not stop there.
Most drivers also pay Vehicle Excise Duty of around £200 a year simply for the right to use the road. On top of that, the average comprehensive car insurance premium is roughly £650, of which 12% Insurance Premium Tax - about £78 - goes straight to the government. Add those annual charges and the government extraction of our money continues to escalate with endless stealth taxes.
You earn the money. It is taxed. You spend what remains on fuel. It is taxed again. Then you pay again every year just to keep the car legal and insured…which is taxed.
For millions who need a vehicle to reach work, drive children to school or live ordinary lives, this is no longer the cost of petrol or the cost of motoring. It is a stacked system of extortionate tax charges that repeatedly takes from the same earnings. Motorists are not merely paying for fuel. They are being systematically fleeced at every stage by the government.
The cost of living crisis is also a cost of excessive government taxation crisis. So @andyburnham - if you really want to help cash strapped motorists during the cost of living crisis, drastically cut fuel duty and VAT on petrol and diesel rather than just giving advice to use google maps to find the cheapest local fuel station.

The busiest job in Westminster is running after the PM with a dustpan and brush, sweeping up whatever he said five minutes earlier.
Implying the 2016 referendum was illegitimate, until the entire govt comms machine scrambled to clarify what he said. Opening up a Scottish referendum, which his team had to shut down. Telling the WASPI women they deserved recompense, only to backtrack.
Burnham is all over the place, making statements he clearly hasn’t thought through.

Dear Andy Burnham, the Oxford Internet Institute examined social media after the Brexit vote.
Their conclusion was that Russian traffic made up around a one thousandth of just one percent of Brexit traffic.

🚨 THE GREAT BRITISH WELFARE SCAM THAT WESTMINSTER IS DESPERATELY HIDING!
I need every working person in this country to look at the massive mathematical fraud unfolding inside the Treasury today.
Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood is quietly rubber stamping 1,100 permanent settlement applications for foreign nationals every single working day.
That equals 200,000 people every single year being handed immediate, lifetime access to the British welfare system!
Because the national benefits bill has now exploded to a catastrophic 407 billion pounds, John Healey has run completely out of cash.
To plug that massive black hole, Labour is preparing to raid your retirement pension, hike your fuel duty, and slap stealth taxes on your family home at the upcoming Budget.
Westminster is actively importing total economic dependency and forcing the domestic working class to work until they drop just to pay the invoice.
Retweet this data immediately to expose the welfare Ponzi scheme bleeding the British taxpayer dry. 🇬🇧🔥

The Bank of England DELIBERATELY FIXED the fake "public vote" to remove ALL historical figures from bank notes & replace them with nature images
Freedom of Information requests by the Telegraph revealed the decision to remove historical figures was based on a "focus group" of a mere 119 people
The Bank LIED because it previously claimed the decision was based on a "public vote".
In truth, however, even this vote was FIXED. Instead of having HISTORY v NATURE, the bank deliberately split the "history" category into 3 sections: historical events, historical figures, architecture & landmarks.
That was the only way that "nature" could win.
However, of course bank notes always combine at least two of those history categories. For example: Churchill & Parliament or Wellington & Waterloo.
The Bank's actions are indefensible and questions should be asked in the House.
The Bank of England has clearly been captured by progressive woke ideology. A visit to the Bank of England with its permanent exhibition on slavery makes that clear
This is part of the wider war on British history. It's an attempt to create a NEW BRITAIN, based on ridiculous myths that "Diversity Built Britain" and that Britain has always been multicultural.
Remember: the Bank of England issued a 50p coin (held aloft by Rishi Sunak) which was imprinted with the nonsensical statement: "Diversity Built Britain"
Anyone who lived behind the Iron Curtain will find all of this eerily and scarily familiar.
The pulling down of statues, the renaming of streets and schools, the rewriting of history, denigrating heroes, changing bank notes etc....these were all tactics of the communists.
Severing the connection between a people and their history is the best way to demoralise a society and prepare them for the imposition of new myths.
