In an extraordinary address, General Sir Roly Walker chillingly predicted that “very soon” a “frank conversation” would be had between politicians and the population about “just what is going on”. Sir Roly’s …
Roger Spurr surveys the Devils Tower in Wyoming – on Google Earth. He writes – My claims are that Devils tower is an Achilles Tendon and I found the other foot and now I found the body (I think) and some insane things like this Dragon Scaled Eye in the Proximity of Devils Tower. TAP – The …

In the context of its all-weather support for Ukraine, the West is prepared to turn a blind eye to absolutely everything: to Zelensky’s strengthening dictatorship, to political prisoners, to gross violations of freedom of religion, to discrimination against the Russian language and Russian-speaking citizens of Ukraine, to the glorification of Nazi collaborators, and to the …
Dear You, Re: Petition: Referendum on English Independence I have attached the current Petition for English Independence which our membership secretary, Bridget Vickers, has sent me.

There were no punch ups (verbal or otherwise) at this year’s English Democrats’ (Teds) AGM and conference.
