Smug expressions were wiped from the faces of countless EV drivers this week. From Christmas Day next year, battery-powered vehicles will no longer be exempt from London’s £15 per day Congestion Charge. Whinges about the unfairness of the London Mayor’s decision came from many directions, but anyone who didn’t see this coming has more subsidies than sense.
EV propagandist and former Top Gear presenter Quentin Wilson took to X to express his disappointment. “So, TfL makes all that fuss about air quality in outer London with Ulez and then will cancel the U.K.’s most successful urban clean air improvement policy,” he complained, “Let’s have queues of clean cars and vans rather than polluting ones.” AA spokesman Jack Cousens told the Telegraph that the policy is “a turkey bone in the throat of EV owners who heeded his call to switch to green vehicles and improve air quality in the capital”.

Serena Kennedy (Merseyside Police) has stated in a news broadcast that a ’17 year old boy’ has been charged with three murders and seven attempted murders following a “tragic” incident in Southport.
Kennedy and her scriptwriters need to put some thoughts together before spouting shyte. There is nothing tragic about the cold blooded murder of defenceless young girls. Tragic carries implications of avoidance and regret. Of course these incidents can be avoided – round the feckers up and ship them out.

The Gatesograph switcheroo.
The story is about three young girls brutally murdered, nine others left critically wounded and two adults fighting for life. There may be others left traumatised but this cruel government is restricting the news releases in order to heighten the anger and the trauma.
The story now is the riots. Has the editorial team no shame, no compassion?
The ethnicity of the perpetrator of these disgusting murders is irrelevant, these murders are the catalyst,the trigger!
People know that mass migrants come mainly from countries that do not hold our values and whether this person was one of them or not that fact is still true.
Out of control stabbings in cities go ignored and the majority are done by ethnic minorities, fact!
The riots are pure anger at the government that indigenous brits are being totally ignored, the outcome being any figures, like the police, that represent that authority become the target, I’d like to see what would happen if all the politicians were forced to face the public in person! I doubt it would be the police being stoned then?
The Brits, “enough is enough” the chants explain everything perfectly clearly but as usual politicians don’t want to listen
“Save our children” ..”stop the boats”..”we want our country back” voting has changed nothing! What other recourse is there?
The government would do well to heed the words of the poem ‘the beginnings’ by Rudyard Kipling
Knife crime appears to have increased and ultimately the ethnicity or migration status of the perps shouldn’t matter because the outcome’s the same, plus it’s surely a direct reflection on the police failing in their duty in preventing such crimes, such as increasing ‘stop and search’ procedures. Gangs have always carried blades, and the police are well aware of this. When the ethnicity and migration status does become relevant, however, is when we can see a direct correlation between increased knife crimes and increased immigration. The same can be said for sex crimes too. After all, we know stabbings are the preferred modus operandi of a certain demographic, so it would be ridiculous to continue ignoring the elephant in the room.
Here’s another one ( see below ) but the killer is still on the loose so we have no details, but there’s loads being reported online, unlikely to make it onto MSM. I don’t know what the other murder is they refer to in the article either. A lad was left with ”life changing injuries” the other day, that one was reported as a foreigner who stabbed him. Did you see them all running around on the streets of Southend with their machetes the other day? Where does somebody even go to buy a machete, FFS?? Aren’t the shopkeepers noticing an uptick in demand and selling out of the damn things?
Stabbings, much like the ‘died suddenly’, when it’s younger people in their prime, have just become ‘normal’ and like white noise nowadays. Just par for the course in Western towns and cities. It’s a tragic sign of the times;
”A bus driver was brutally killed in a stabbing on his way home from work, his employers have revealed.
Derek Thomas, believed to be in his 50s, was killed in a stabbing at Northwold Road, Stoke Newington, yesterday (July 30) at 11.05pm.
Emergency services found a man, in his 50s, who was pronounced dead at the scene.
He was later named by a local bus driver as Derek Thomas. It is understood he worked at the Northumberland Park bus garage in Tottenham for transport company Go-Ahead London.”

The Tameside Trollop and tax fiddler lecturing the country on house building.
We couldn’t make it up.
Guido published the HoC exchange between Rayner and Kemi Badenoch (https://twitter.com/i/status/1814296123659731221) where, in measured terms, Badenoch explained to the chamber how Rayner had been set up to fail by her supposed colleagues in th Labour government. It was an en extremely effective demolition of the government’s housing targets.
A brilliant and entertaining speech. Where was that Conservative voice for the last 5 years?
Morning HP ,too hot isn’t it , we are really at War now , like me your automatic subconscious Cat like senses can forensically sniff out the slightest nuanced dig at us indigenous plebs ! It’s late but my heart bleeds & my piss boils as the useful idiots do their worst .From Mrs Ball,s calm look describing the poor lambs rioting in Leeds compared to her little grimaced vitriolic screwed up mush as she promised what our patriots could expect off the traitorous London plod in full riot gear if they came to Downing Street last night & she didn’t disappoint did she , to Hartlepool where police Dogs which I don’t think get used to actually bite people anymore but were used against us ! 9 months of muzzie marches around London no probs but we get battered & described Far Right , EDL thugs etc , it’s relentless,🤯
Last night Twitter was on fire with videos being shared of just loads and loads of people being arrested at the Downing Street protest. Just insane levels of overreach. These were all peaceful protestors being decked, handcuffed and marched/carried away by riot police;

Of course the ladies are not exempt, especially the ones who fit the classic ‘terrorist’ profile;

And GB News reporters were also not exempt;

I’ve watched loads of these now and I’ll give you one guess what the common denominator was.
The second one ( Radoclub ), I think only those with Twitter accounts can see. But it shows a guy being repeatedly punched in the face by police. Not sure if it exists anywhere else…
Found it elsewhere but Twitter might slap a sensitivity warning on it at any time;
”While there were some idiots in Downing Street last night throwing bottles, this from the police is vile.
Like many last night they were not doing anything wrong & the police randomly picked him out & brutally assaulted him.
He was punched & kneed.”

Completely agree Freddy.

Well experienced AS yesterday. Artificial Stupidity. Tried to ring up a service I’ve used in the past and get somebody to talk to. No chance- got one of these AI things, and just got really angry. Totally useless. All rather scary. A lot of these things are about taking away services, and they don’t give a dam.
I feel your pain but would counsel that to get angry at AI is pointless and also that when you do finally talk to a person, it’s worth remembering that the chances they are personally responsible for what irks you is vanishingly small…
A strategy to sometimes get around these stupid things is to confuse it – ie don’t answer it’s questions, say something else, sometimes after 2 or 3 it’ll default to the ‘you need to speak to a person option’. It’s a bit like not pressing * on your phone when asked in the past, usually the automation then pushed you down a different route, often with real people just because it things you had a rotary phone (no touch tones)… worth a try
You can never be too ‘enriched’, or so it would seem.
”Thousands of Afghans, including hundreds of former military and intelligence operatives, have been secretly moved from Afghanistan to military bases in Britain in the past 10 months, The National can reveal.
It has been confirmed that more than 5,000 Afghans have entered the UK since October last year, many of them escaping Taliban intimidation and the threat of execution.
In Operation Lazurite, the Ministry of Defence’s codename for the mission, former operatives who worked alongside British forces are now living in surplus military housing across the UK.
It was kept under the radar by the Conservative government, which was keen to appear tough on migration.”

Oddly, perhaps, it’s one part of immigration that I can get behind. When you go to war and you lose, you’re bound by honour to do what you can for those who assisted you, not to simply abandon them to the goon squads of the vile regime that took over.
Except that the likelihood that these soldiers will be used against the native population looks increasingly likely. The probability that they have been shipped in for just this purpose also seems more intentional than not.
This is just sickening and is blatantly illegal. There’s one of them imposter boxers, with the gonads, testosterone levels and sex chromosomes of a male, due to fight against an Italian woman today. Surely all of that collectively trumps the fact they have a vagina and they’d automatically be considered ‘male’ and put in the mens’ boxing? Not in Clown World, evidently;
”A volleyball player left partially paralyzed by a transgender opponent has slammed the Olympics for letting biological men compete in women’s boxing.
Payton McNabb was 17 when a ball spiked by a trans opponent with force struck her in the face, threw her to the ground and shut off her consciousness for 30 seconds.
The 5ft 11in player appeared to cackle in delight, Ms McNabb said, after sending her to the floor. As did other players in the opposite team.”
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-13693959/payton-mcnabb-volleyball-player-paralyzed-brain-damage-transgender.html
Female athletes must take the initiative in sporting matters. If the opponent is trans or a team contains trans players women must refuse to participate. Just walk away. They can’t win.
i suspect that someone will have to die before they do anything.
Not a refugee then, but born in Britain to Rwandan parents. Apparently. Right, so a child of immigrants then. Tomayto tomarto. We’re being gaslit in a web of deceit coordinated and driven on an industrial scale. Enough.
Even for her I doubt it is ignorance that leads the Deputy Prime Minister and Housing Secretary Angela Rayner to elide the two different things by saying ” that it is “nonsense” that there is no room for housing in the greenbelt”.
As she knows the bulk of the country outside developed areas is not designated as Green Belt.
She should also know that much of our already developed land has a very low development density which could be increased by wholesale demolition and rebuilding while retaining community feelings (if there are any left).
To discuss housing policy or any other policies without considering immigration is dishonest.

Crawling back to the EU. Treason, plain and simple.
The ‘usual suspects’ getting the ‘Starmtrooper treatment’! LOL But seriously, no wonder there’s nobody available to do ‘stop and search’, the amount of resources taken up last night around Downing Street. I’d say that if you’re a murderous psychopathic jihadi ( who’s really just ”mentally ill” ), best time to go about your stabbing spree is when there’s a protest on and all police are busy arresting the non-criminals ( who just so happen to be of the ‘caucasian’ variety, unlike in Harehills! 😮 ). I think standing around chatting about the weather is enough to see you in handcuffs these days, if the Gestapo are ”just following orders” or don’t like the look of you.
”Police have smashed an underground EDL network whose thugs were throwing Werthers Originals causing mayhem and destruction in the community.”

“Violence erupts in Southport after child killings”
Comment from Northernman1 on the DM:
“Captain Brylcreem has voiced The Full Force of the Law mantra— not once has it been used in reference to the guy who took the lives of those innocents , not once was it mentioned when a soldier was stabbed , not once was it mentioned when the Leeds riots kicked off. Not once was it mentioned when 3 police officers were hospitalised in the Manchester airport fracas.
They dance around it asking for understanding and calmness.
This week they have taken winter payments from pensioners, yet not one penny from those who chose to enter the country illegally.
People are running out of calm and understanding.”
***Also, notice how the term “illegal immigrants” was first softened to “illegal migrants”, then just “migrants”, implying that they are as natural as migratory birds or herds of wildebeest.
Now the media are being told to soften “illegal” to “non-legal” or “irregular” migrants, and one US schoolboy was suspended for referring to Third World Invaders as “aliens”.

The Economic Situation in the West.
It’s not good.
In case it missed your attention, Fazi’s summary of Victor Orban’s speech is a solid read.
Orban’s right on the money with his assessment of the west’s demise. He actually has a plan.
I laughed when he said that westerners would be wanting to move to Hungary. I think he may be correct if his plans come to fruition.
He’s demonised as ‘right wing’ which we all know is intended to make him the boogeyman. He’s the kind of leader we need, rather than the rabble we have.
He’s not our leader though ! Our very own Sub – Prime Minister is addressing the Nation at 4 pm today !! HELP .
