You Couldn't MAKE THIS UP... Listen to What He Says! youtu.be/PBHVhHor37w?is=hH3z… via @YouTube
Streeting claims Britain will lead from the front with billions more committed to defence in the budget. Hmm..,
Graft has emerged as a major issue in the US midterm election campaigns as voters express concern over corruption in the Trump administration. No wonder.
Healey is said to support a drilling license for the Rosebank oil field, Fahnbullah however is said to oppose it. Cabinet split looms.
Police claim that a growing number of all sorts of crimes are linked to cocaine use. Not a surprise.
Pensioners look set for a 3.6% rise and protection from income tax in the budget. But how are the Chancellor’s goodies to be paid for?

Has the Defence Secretary told the Defence Secretary this? Because I’m pretty sure he’d be horrified to discover he was cutting defence programmes and training days while simultaneously expecting a war within 1000 days.
Britain must be ready for war within 1,000 days, Defence Secretary warns

The BBC has agreed to pay £400,000 to an award-winning Jewish documentary-maker who alleged she was subjected to antisemitism and pushed out of the corporation after October 7.
Lucie Kon, 57, spent 22 years at the BBC and worked on programmes including Panorama, Today, BBC Breakfast and Storyville. Films she commissioned or helped produce won an Oscar, Emmy and Bafta.
Kon says her treatment changed dramatically after the Hamas attacks. She alleges colleagues described Zionists like her as “evil”, argued that Israel should be called terrorist if Hamas was, and told her to consider what had driven Hamas to carry out the massacre.
When she proposed a documentary about October 7, Kon says she was told she was “too partial” to oversee it because she was Jewish.
She subsequently filed a formal grievance, but a BBC investigation rejected her complaint. Kon says she was then kept away from work for months. During a restructuring, her position was made redundant and she failed to secure the similar role replacing it.
She launched unfair-dismissal proceedings.
The BBC has now agreed substantial compensation, reported as £400,000, without admitting liability or accepting that Kon suffered antisemitism.
Kon says Jewish employees still at the corporation continue to face hostility and feel unable to identify openly as Jewish or Zionist.

🚨 France Opened Its Doors. Now Its Conquerors Are Mocking Them - America, Listen Up!
Watch these men beat their chests under the Eiffel Tower - France’s greatest symbol of civilization reduced to a stage for Islamic dominance. This is not culture. This is conquest made visible.
France got the low-level Islamic foot soldiers. The street muscle. The rioters. The ones who fill the banlieues, torch cars, enforce parallel rules, and simultaneously bankrupt the welfare state.
Generations of them. From a handful of mosques in 1975 to over 2,600 today. Arab-Muslim first names among newborns rising from under 1% to over 25%. Marseille 30–40%. Roubaix 35–40%. Seine-Saint-Denis 30–40%+ with whole communes already majority. Native French minorities in their own maternity wards.
The 2021 generals warned of “Islamism and the hordes of the banlieue” and civil war if nothing changed. They were mocked. The 2025 intelligence report confirmed the Brotherhood’s 139 linked mosques and 280 front groups building the infrastructure. France invited the numbers and is now living with the results.
America got something more dangerous.
We imported the sophisticated leadership. The doctors, the lawyers, the engineers, the professionals. The ones who arrive with credentials, set up the organizations, and execute a deliberate plan.
Each group has a purpose: CAIR and its affiliates for politics and lawfare. Muslim Student Associations for campuses. Islamic schools and mosques for the next generation. Charity and “community” networks that double as parallel societies.
They push Islam into every sector - government, schools, media, corporations, law, medical, sports, city councils - while simultaneously building mini-Islamic states where, from birth to death, you never have to deal with a non-Muslim. Arabic on the signs. Sharia norms in the neighborhoods. Halal everything. Parallel courts, parallel finance, parallel education. Funded by the same Gulf money that bankrolls Europe’s problems.
In America, they are quieter, more professional, and far more effective than street riots.
France got the poor foot soldiers who overwhelm the streets and the budget. We got the officers/leaders who seize the institutions and build the enclaves. Same ideology. Same end goal. Different delivery system.
The Eiffel Tower video is another Islamic flex/warning. France is further along. We are on the same path, only with better-organized operators who treat every election as jihad and every school board as territory.
America - the 2026 midterms on November 3 are the last clean chance to interrupt this.
They vote as a disciplined bloc. They turn out at 80–93% while most of us stay home. They win razor-thin local races that lock in the parallel systems. Once the numbers and the institutions tip, you do not get the country back.
Show up. Vote early. Vote Republican. Bring everyone you know. Treat every race like the future depends on it - because France already proved it does.
France opened the door and surrendered its future. America is following their lead, and more of our politicians do not even realize it
