GPs Will Receive £11,250 A Month To Treat Migrants Facing Deportation

GPs are being offered £135,000 a year to provide ‘first-class’ healthcare to foreign criminals and illegal migrants facing deportation.

Earnings of up to the equivalent of £11,250 a month are being waved at doctors to look after migrants held in immigration removal centres (IRCs).

Healthcare provider Practice Plus Group, a contractor working on behalf of the Home Office, is advertising for a taxpayer-funded GP at Heathrow Airport IRC.

The position involves providing ‘first-class healthcare to a mixed patient population’ and adds that doctors will develop knowledge in areas which are not usually experienced in standard GP practices or A&E settings.

‘Within this role you will be working closely with the multidisciplinary team to provide high-quality patient care,’ the job advert states.

‘You will deliver clinical sessions, inpatient ward rounds and blood screening. Ideal applicants would enjoy working in a fast-paced environment where no two days are the same, and have some experience with patients who have a history of substance misuse needs and detox.’

Promotional material also encourages possible applicants to ‘not let stereotypes hold you back’ from working with foreign criminals and illegal immigrants.

‘Our residents are vulnerable, and they deserve the same level of care as anyone else,’ a principal pharmacist at Heathrow IRC said. 

‘Many don’t have access to medical records or even speak English, so every day brings new challenges. But that’s what makes the job so rewarding. It requires emotional intelligence and empathy.’

The 40-hour-a-week position is in stark contrast to an NHS GP, who earns an average of £79,000 a year.

Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp said that it is disgraceful that the ‘red carpet treatment’ is being given to potential foreign criminals.

‘No wonder illegal immigrants from all over Europe flood across the English Channel when the Government spends billions of pounds of our money to cosset them,’ he added.

‘We need to leave the ECHR, and then these illegal immigrants can be deported within a week of arrival.’

Detained migrants are given the same ‘range and quality’ of NHS treatment available to the public due to Home Office rules.

A Home Office spokesman said: ‘We do not directly fund these roles. We are making sweeping reforms to tackle illegal migration, which will make Britain a less attractive destination for illegal migrants and allow us to remove and deport people more easily.

‘We have already returned nearly 50,000 people with no right to be here and delivered millions of pounds in savings across the immigration system.’

When greed takes over, won’t it make things worse for us British people who already have trouble getting appointments?

Our government just won’t admit that they have a problem, and it’s blindingly evident when you go to visit your doctor that most of the people in the waiting room don’t come from this country. It’s not the elderly that are clogging up the NHS, it’s migrants.

It’s the same within the NHS as well because seeing a white British doctor is extremely rare, along with the majority of the staff.

What is our government telling migrants? If you’re sick or have a severe illness, come to the UK, commit crimes and get all your ills treated, complimentary, but the lunacy continues, and the UK is the laughing stock of the world.

Meanwhile, Brits who actually pay into the system have very little prospect of seeing a GP – broken doesn’t even begin to describe what is going on, and if you think that Keir Starmer cares about you, think again.

There is nothing we owe these individuals. Despite having entered our nation illegally, they are treated better than individuals who have made long-term contributions to the NHS.

‘Reframing history’: Imperial War Museum

The Imperial War Museum has been accused of ‘reframing history’ to give it ‘woke appeal’ in a new tour featuring trans people in battle.

Created to celebrate the 25th anniversary since the Government lifted its prohibition on gay people serving in the Armed Forces, the new digital tour tells ‘personal stories from the LGBTQ+ community’ in times of war.

However, almost one-third of the displays focus on transgenderism, including narratives detailing the challenges faced by homosexual and lesbian military members.

Examples include a frock worn by a man for a ‘show’ in a deadly Japanese prisoner of war camp during the 1940s, as well as a Land Army girl who wanted to be called ‘John’.

Tour curators also claimed reconstructive surgeries for injured soldiers in World Wars I and II ‘laid the foundation for the future of transgender medicine’.

He criticised the institution, revered around the globe, for ‘trivialising’ often brutal moments in history to portray a woke narrative.

‘The experiences of what we now call the LGBTQ+ community are no less worthy of understanding than those of “straight” service personnel,’ he said.

‘But with this display, they trivialise true stories of bravery and courage and – what is worse – appear to be doing so in order to reframe the lessons of history to make a woke appeal to young Brits on behalf of a highly controversial special interest group.

‘I hope the IWM will think again about this. History should never be rewritten to proselytise or normalise any particular lifestyle.’

The free tour can be accessed by scanning a QR code, which lets visitors find objects in the museum and read an LGBTQ+ perspective on them.

The promotional page, which features the transgender rainbow symbol, reads: ‘The LGBTQ+ community has always been present during times of conflict, and these stories reveal how individuals navigated the cultural and social landscape of the time…

‘These histories are often sadly erased or hard to verify, but… this trail redirects traditional narratives to reveal a broader spectrum of human experiences in times of conflict.

‘IWM is committed to representing diverse experiences that reflect the world around us, and through this trail, we are looking to improve the visibility of LGBTQ+ stories across our collection.’

The exhibits, almost exclusively in the First and Second World War galleries at the museum’s London and Manchester sites, feature some trans stories alongside those about gay servicemen.

One centres around a dress made from a mosquito net that was worn, apparently, for ‘drag shows’ during the Second World War.

The wearer was Gunner Charles Woodhams, who donned it to dance with an officer during a makeshift ‘theatre revue’ in Changi Prison, Singapore – a notorious Japanese prisoner of war camp where 850 British soldiers were executed or died from maltreatment.

The guide notes: ‘Drag performances in Changi Prison in Singapore during the Second World War were vital for prisoners’ morale.’

It also features a recording from a former British POW, Dudley Cave, who later became an ‘LGBTQ+ rights advocate’, who recalled of the camps: ‘Certainly as far as the transvestites went, they were popular – they were liked.’

Running until April 2026, another shows a photo of a worker in the Land Army – made up of civilian women who took over farm duties from men who were called to the military.

The guide says that one such worker was Enid Mary Barraud, who ‘challenged gender norms’.

It notes: ‘Enid preferred to identify as male, known to friends as “John”, and she lived with her female partner “Bunty”.

‘She has become a significant LGBTQ+ figure as later generations consider her memoirs to be an important documentation of a life lived outside of conventional gender expectations.’

A third exhibit is a portrait of the Queen’s Hospital for Facial Injuries, Frognal, Sidcup, with injured servicemen being operated on in 1918.

The guide notes that one of the doctors who worked there was Dr Harold Gillies, hailed as the father of modern plastic surgery after he developed skin graft techniques on hurt soldiers.

It notes that after the wars, he used his expertise to ‘perform the first ever phalloplasty’ on transgender man Michael Dillon in 1946.

Dr Gillies ‘used surgical techniques originally developed for wounded servicemen to create a penis,’ it notes.

In 1951, this was followed by the first vaginoplasty – the construction of a vagina – on transgender woman Roberta Cowell.

‘These trailblazing procedures not only transformed Michael and Roberta’s lives, but also laid the foundation for the future of transgender medicine,’ the guide concludes.

Also included is a modern-produced comic telling the story of Flight Lieutenant Caroline Paige, who ‘made history in 1999 as the first serving RAF officer to transition gender’.

It tells of ‘living a top-gun lifestyle all while grappling with the emotional toll of hiding her true identity for much of her career’, the guide notes.

Professor Glees said of the exhibits: ‘The story of the notorious Changi jail, scene of appalling brutality towards British and Commonwealth servicemen, cannot be illustrated with reference to “drag artists”. Almost 1,000 were killed there.’

He added: ‘The idea that surgical skills developed in wartime found their fruit in gender “re-assignment surgery” as told by the IWM seems tendentious at best.’

An IWM spokesman said: ‘This year is the 25th anniversary of the UK Government decision to lift the ban on LGBT people serving in the military. To mark this anniversary, visitors to our IWM London and IWM North museums can find out more about some of these stories by scanning a QR code next to exhibits in our galleries.

‘We are proud to play our part in telling some of the lesser-known stories of lives affected by war and conflict.’

This isn’t about changing the past; rather, it’s about honouring the contributions of people who were present because back then, you could or would be jailed for being gay.

Because homosexuality was illegal in the UK at the time, Alan Turing was prosecuted for gross indecency. He was chemically castrated, which is incredibly tragic given how far society has come. We wouldn’t even bat an eyelid now.

In 1952, Turing was prosecuted for homosexual acts. He apparently accepted hormone treatment as an alternative to prison, but he died on 7 June 1954, aged 41, from cyanide poisoning. An inquest determined his death was from suicide, but there was also evidence of accidental poisoning – we will never actually know.

Following a campaign in 2009, British Prime Minister Gordon Brown made an official public apology for the appalling way Turing was treated, and Queen Elizabeth II granted a pardon in 2013.

The term ‘Alan Turing Law’ is used informally to refer to a 2017 law in the UK that retroactively pardoned men cautioned or convicted under historical legislation that outlawed homosexual acts.

In actuality, a person’s inclinations are irrelevant. I might consider more pressing issues, such as the end of the world.

As long as you’re a decent person, it doesn’t matter who you are.

People come from all walks of life. After all, Winston Churchill might have had ADHD, and it’s frequently speculated that Albert Einstein might have had dyslexia or perhaps traits of autism, and that Ludwig van Beethoven was deaf. They were different, but we wouldn’t go burning them at the stake, and if you did, you actually wouldn’t be right in the head.

Of course, rewriting history is literally the job of historians, and history is a construct – more history is a good thing, especially when teaching our children that we have gone from barbarians to peaceful citizens. Not sure when that time will come, but we can live in hope!

Just remember, there are two types of male oysters, and one of them can change gender at will, and before man crawled out of the muck, maybe he had the same option. Maybe originally we were supposed to be able to switch genders, and being born with just one sex… is a mutation.

Donald Trump’s Nutty Behaviour

Joe Rogan said that Donald Trump’s behaviour has been ‘nutty’ of late, prompting concerns about the 79-year-old president’s age.

Fellow comic Tom Segura appeared on Rogan’s show and suggested that Trump was ‘losing it’ based on some recent decisions, including the renaming of the Kennedy Centre after himself. 

‘I think everybody does when you get to a certain age,’ agreed Rogan, before agreeing that Trump’s recent behaviour was ‘nutty.’

Rogan, who supported Trump in 2024, then brought up the president’s new ‘wall of fame’ plaques that brutally trolled Joe Biden and Barack Obama on his podcast. 

‘There’s nothing nuttier than the plaques underneath the president’s names,’ Rogan said. 

Biden is referred to by his nickname ‘Sleepy Joe Biden’ and dubbed ‘by far, the worst President in American History’ in his plaque.

As Rogan went on reading the plaques, he asked: ‘How is this real? How are you allowed to do that?’

Amid his befuddlement, Rogan suggested that Trump get ‘a right-hand man’ who would talk him down from his worst impulses.

Given Trump’s age and the strain of his work and life in recent years, Rogan speculated that it might be something he needs.

‘The stress of going through what that guy went through, where they were trying to jail him when they were going after him with the Russia thing, the Russia hoax, and all that s**t,’ he said.

He also pointed out that the president was still under 18 months from when he faced an assassination attempt.

 ‘Like they were trying everything they could to destroy him, just that alone has gotta break your brain, and then they took a shot at him.’

Rogan’s age concerns arise at the end of a year in which the administration has consistently sought to clarify the president’s health.

Earlier this month, a leaked version of his schedule showed that Trump is regularly working over 10 hours a day.

Over nearly two weeks, the president averaged about 21 meetings a day, with travel and other events adding to the long, gruelling hours in the White House.

The president regularly begins his day at about 8:30 in the morning with a string of calls, then takes an average of 21 different meetings with staff, politicians, and dignitaries. One day, he had a meeting with an unidentified ‘television personality.’

The president also regularly checks in with America’s business community, as meetings with various CEOs populated 10 of the 12 days. 

Some of these meetings take as little as a few minutes, but others can go on for much longer, as Trump met with the likes of ‘Ice Maiden’ Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, and other key cabinet figures.

On December 3, Trump held a total of 32 events, easily his busiest day, while the day of the Pennsylvania rally, December 9, was his longest, running from 9:46 am to 10:55 pm.

The average day doesn’t tend to end for Trump until well after 8 pm, though he doesn’t even hold to that sometimes, as his appearance at the primetime Congressional ball showed Thursday.

This came after a New York Times piece claimed that, on average, Trump would start scheduled events at 10.31 am during his first term in 2017.

However, this year, the President began attending events later in the afternoon, on average at 12.08 pm.

‘Name-calling and personal insults don’t change that, nor will our journalists hesitate to cover this administration in the face of intimidation tactics like this,’ A Times spokesperson told the Daily Mail.

‘Expert and thorough reporters like Katie Rogers exemplify how an independent and free press helps the American people better understand their government and its leaders.’

The overall number of Trump’s official appearances at White House events has declined by 39 per cent compared to his first term, according to the New York Times’s analysis.

Earlier this year, images emerged from the Oval Office showing Trump with bruising on his hand, which was sometimes covered up by makeup. The White House claimed the bruising originates from the president shaking too many hands.

After images showed him with swollen legs and ankles, the White House announced in July that he had been diagnosed with Chronic Venous Insufficiency – a condition where leg veins can’t send blood back to the heart efficiently.

On Tuesday, Trump travelled to Mount Pocono, in the northeast part of the commonwealth, to give what was billed as a speech on the economy. 

In fact, the event had the makings of a campaign rally, as he defended his second-term record ahead of next year’s midterm races in front of a boisterous gathering of MAGA faithful.

During Joe Biden’s presidency, Trump and his Republican supporters criticised the Democratic leader for his advanced age, lack of public appearances, and cognitive decline.

There’s nothing normal about Donald Trump’s ongoing loathing and emotionalism. Not once did Joe Biden call Trump or another leader demeaning names, and as for Trump’s behaviour. Hasn’t he been like this the entire time?

Obviously, we can’t be sure what is wrong with Donald Trump, but evidently, something is wrong; on the other hand, he’s no spring chicken, and nobody can beat becoming old, but then there’s knowing when to quit and leave office for someone else to take over.

At this point, you can’t seriously with a good conscience look at Donald Trump and not think that he is losing his marbles, and anybody who doesn’t is incredibly delusional to listen to the absolute nonsense that comes out of his mouth.

Death Certificates Reveal New Details About Rob And Michele Reiner

Rob and Michele Reiner’s bodies were cremated after their brutal murders, it has emerged.

The County of Los Angeles Department of Medical Examiner previously said that the couple died after suffering ‘multiple sharp force injuries’, and newly-released death certificates add that this was caused ‘with a knife, by another’. 

Their remains were given to their oldest son, Jake, and they were cremated at Mount Sinai Mortuary, according to the New York Post. 

Online records reveal the Hollywood legend and his photographer wife died on December 14, the same day they were found in their $13.5 million mansion.

Both of their deaths have been ruled homicides, with the place of death recorded as their home.

Nick was arrested on December 14 and charged with two counts of first-degree murder in the slayings of his 78-year-old father and 70-year-old mother.

Prosecutors added special circumstances of multiple murders and use of a dangerous weapon, a knife, meaning if convicted, Nick could face life in prison without the possibility of parole or even the death penalty.

The 32-year-old made a brief court appearance on Wednesday, wearing an anti-suicide vest, where he did not enter a plea.

Nick’s famous defence attorney, Alan Jackson, asked the judge for a continuance, saying that he ‘needed more time’ to prepare his case.

When the judge asked a blank-faced Nick ‘if he agreed that his arraignment should be continued’, he answered, ‘Yes, your honour.’

His arraignment was rescheduled for January 7, and he was ordered to be held in jail without bail.

Jackson addressed the media after the hearing and asked people not to ‘rush to judgment’ about the case.

‘This is a devastating tragedy that has befallen the Reiner family,’ Jackson said.

‘There are very, very complex and serious issues that are associated with this case. These need to be thoroughly and very carefully dealt with.

‘We ask that throughout this process you allow the system to move forward in the way that it was designed to move forward, not with a rush to judgment.’

Soon after the hearing, the couple’s other children, Romy and Jake, released a heart-wrenching statement on their deaths.

‘Words cannot even begin to describe the unimaginable pain we are experiencing every moment of the day,’ the grieving siblings said.

‘The horrific and devastating loss of our parents, Rob and Michele Reiner, is something that no one should ever experience.

‘They weren’t just our parents; they were our best friends. We are grateful for the outpouring of condolences, kindness, and support we have received not only from family and friends but people from all walks of life.’

The pair asked people for ‘respect and privacy’ and urged the public to treat any speculation with ‘compassion and humanity’.

Jake and Romy said they wanted their parents to be remembered for the ‘incredible lives they lived and the love’ they gave.

The couple were discovered slaughtered on Sunday afternoon after Romy was called over by a massage therapist who had arrived at the residence but could not get in.

A source close to the investigation told the Daily Mail that they had their throats slashed and were killed in their bed.

Images obtained by the Daily Mail revealed the exact hotel room Nick allegedly left covered in blood following his parents’ horrific slaying. 

The couple’s son checked into room 207 at The Pierside Santa Monica about 4 am on Sunday.

It is a $400-a-night boutique hotel located about 1,000 feet away from the world-famous Santa Monica Pier, and a five-minute walk to the LA Metro line that goes directly to the Exposition Park area, where Nick was ultimately arrested by the police.

When hotel staff came into Nick’s room later on Sunday morning, the shower was said to be ‘full of blood’, with splatters across the bed.

The windows in the room were covered by bed sheets, detectives found when they arrived at the hotel on Monday to gather evidence.

The director’s son had been living in the guesthouse of his parents’ mansion in the LA suburb of Brentwood at the time of their deaths.

Reiner was increasingly worried about Nick, who had a history of drug addiction and mental breakdowns, and took him to a holiday party Saturday night to ‘keep an eye on him,’ sources have said.

At Conan O’Brien’s Christmas party, Nick allegedly caused anxiety among A-list attendees by arguing with comedian Bill Hader and forcing his parents to leave.

Before his parents, Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner, were killed, Nick Reiner was reportedly receiving treatment for schizophrenia. However, schizophrenia doesn’t necessarily make someone more prone to violence.

The Los Angeles Times and KNBC both reported, quoting sources, that Nick was being treated with medication for the mental illness. According to NBC, Nick was first diagnosed with schizophrenia years ago.

Schizophrenia is a widely misunderstood—but treatable—condition.

Psychosis is a term that actually encompasses a wide range of experiences.

This can result in symptoms including delusions, hallucinations, suspicion, and social disengagement and usually involves changes in a person’s thoughts, perceptions, or beliefs.

People may have disorganised speech and thought patterns, as well as altered movement patterns. Lack of motivation, social disengagement, and cognitive abnormalities, such as difficulties with memory, focus, and attention, can also occur in them.

During a bout of psychosis, “a person’s thoughts and perceptions are disrupted, and they may have difficulty recognising what is real and what is not.

Schizophrenia, which affects about 1 per cent of the U.S. population, is caused by a combination of genetic, biological, and environmental factors, and is typically diagnosed in someone’s late teens or early twenties.

Nick Reiner, who is facing murder charges in the slayings of his parents, Rob and Michele Reiner, was being treated for mental illness before the couple’s deaths, according to reports.

Nick Reiner had publicly discussed his years-long battle with drug dependence, which included periods of homelessness. The screenwriter told People magazine in a 2016 interview that he made his first visit to rehab at 15 and would return 17 times. He said he became homeless due to his refusal to return to rehab.

Reiner was taken into police custody on Dec 14 and booked for murder by the Los Angeles Police Department after Rob and Michele Reiner were discovered dead in their Brentwood residence.

Two days after Rob and Michele Reiner’s deaths, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office charged Nick Reiner with two counts of first-degree murder with a special circumstance of multiple murders. Nick also faces a special allegation that he personally used a dangerous and deadly weapon, i.e. a knife.

The special circumstance of multiple murders can entail a maximum sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole or the death penalty. However, district attorney Nathan J. Hochman said, “No decision at this point has been made with respect to the death penalty.”

However, I don’t believe that his parents would have ever wanted him to receive the death penalty.

If you have ever known somebody who is schizophrenic, one would comprehend what a malignant disease it actually is, and it can take over your life without even realising it, and clearly, medical professionals had let him down. Perhaps he should have been put in a mental facility where he could not harm others or himself.

I’m not talking about rehab, I’m talking about a secure unit where he would not have been able to get out until they deemed it was safe for him to do so. If that had happened, then his parents might still be alive.

Keir Starmer Considers Social Media Ban For Teens

Sir Keir Starmer is weighing up an Australian-style social media embargo for children aged under 16. 

The Labour Prime Minister formerly said he was ‘personally’ against the ban for teenagers but is understood to be ‘closely monitoring’ the policy.

The world-first law was introduced on December 10 by Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and sees under-16s banned from Facebook, Instagram, Kick, Reddit, Snapchat, Threads, TikTok, X, YouTube and Twitch.

The social media platforms face fines of up to £25 million if they fail to take reasonable steps to remove children’s accounts.

Earlier this month, the Prime Minister said, ‘it’s more about how you control content children can see’ as he appeared to rule out introducing the scheme. 

But Health Secretary Wes Streeting challenged his party to ‘think much more radically’ about online safety restrictions, with social media now a ‘place of bullying, intimidation, sometimes misogyny, even radicalisation’.

Cultural Secretary Lisa Nandy last week revealed the Government were considering the ban but had concerns over ‘enforceability’.

Downing Street is now said to be ‘closely monitoring’ the policy.

Discussions have begun between Sir Keir and Liz Kendall, the Technology Secretary, about introducing a similar law if the Australian ban proves successful, according to The Telegraph.  

A Government spokesperson said: ‘We understand parents’ concerns about the impact of social media on children, which is why we’ve taken some of the boldest steps globally to ensure online content is genuinely age-appropriate.

‘It’s important we protect children while letting them benefit safely from the digital world, without cutting off essential services or isolating the most vulnerable.

‘The Government is closely monitoring Australia’s approach to age restrictions. When it comes to children’s safety, nothing is off the table, but any action must be based on robust evidence.’

Mr Streeting on Sunday said children are able to access ‘the most extreme content’ and contrasted it to the difficulty he faced trying to get into a 15 or 18-rated film at the cinema as a child.

Social media is becoming more ‘anti-social media’, he added. ‘That’s why I think what Australia’s doing is interesting and we should follow the results closely and see if that’s something we should consider doing here.’

Ms Nandy added: ‘We’re obviously keeping a very close eye on the way that this is playing out in Australia because we know that young people are really struggling with the amount of time that they spend online and what is happening to them online.’

Ms Kendall has previously expressed her objection to the restriction and is currently negotiating the policy with the Prime Minister.

Earlier this month, at a House of Commons select committee, she said there was ‘really important balance to be struck’ between helping children deal with the online world, while making sure that they do not face harmful content.’

‘I am not currently in favour of a ban on smartphones until 16. It is good they are not at school, and there is more we have to do to help kids deal with it.

‘I am worried about chatbots, and I am worried about sleep. If you said, ‘nothing until you are 16’, then how are they going to cope? That is how I am thinking about it.

Albanese described the social media ban as ‘one of the biggest social and cultural changes our nation has faced’.

‘It is a profound reform which will be a source of national pride in years to come,’ he added.

While some may argue that this is the epitome of communism, children should not be allowed to use social media. The internet should only be used for academic purposes. It has nothing to do with being autocratic; rather, it is about our children’s safety.

I’m extremely glad that I didn’t have to deal with social media as a child, but sadly this has been going on for an extremely long time, and now people will say that it’s a huge infringement on their civil liberties, but do people actually want their children to be subjected to bullying, misogyny and harrassment, to name a few via the internet?

To be honest, if I had young children in this day and age, they would never be allowed a phone with internet or the internet itself.

However, Keir Starmer needs to consider this rationally. If you are deemed too immature for Facebook, or any other sites for that matter, then they are undoubtedly not adult enough to vote.

If parents don’t want their child using the internet for things like social media, then they shouldn’t; that’s what parental controls are for. Unfortunately, parents no longer have control over their children, but mark my words, this is another push for online digital IDs, which will lead to a loss of anonymity on the web. Everything will be tracked (oh, what am I talking about), it’s tracked already. The digital prison is already growing around us!

I’m So Determined Not To Raise A Brat

A mother has taken caring for her child to another level. One that we have not seen for an extremely long time.

When she was eight months pregnant and still at work, a colleague had given her a 1950s book entitled ‘Mothercraft.’

‘You’ll need this,’ she muttered, adding, ‘the old way’s the best way.’

I COULDN’T AGREE MORE!

The book is a parenting manual authored by midwife Sister Mary Martin in 1950. Yes, yes, I know, it’s old, but ‘Mothercraft’ champions parents to not bring up entitled brats through a somewhat robust approach, which this expectant mother was onboard with.

These days, mums feel compelled to entertain their little ones with grimy soft plays and hours of ‘brainrot’ screentime. Who actively sidestep any form of conflict in case it causes upset to their little angels, but ‘Mothercraft’ tells you to follow this retro parenting bible for a no-nonsense approach to raising children.

She said that when she was pregnant with her son, now seven, she was bamboozled by the overload of parenting info online, including unsolicited advice on social media from quasi-experts.

The problem is, the main message that we get these days seems to be that we must do everything in our ability not to damage the minds of our young, with this fairly new phenomenon, ‘gentle parenting’, which is widely cultivated into the minds of adults, who would believe it!

There are about 287,000 videos devoted to it on TikTok alone. The soft parenting trend suggests that we should wear our babies around our necks 24/7 like some oversized backpack accessory, rocking them to sleep and holding them while they sleep. No wonder we have children who can’t even wipe their own backside adequately at the age of 5 years old.

Gentle parenting also advocates the acceptance of behaviour that might once have been considered misbehaving, because our child might be having ‘big feelings’.

This simply makes mothers terrified that they are going to turn into a hot mess, and ultimately they do, but ‘Mothercraft’ indefatigably says that ‘Children should be a joy, and never a burden.’

This young lady chose to follow the vintage rules to a T with her young son. The first sensible one was to let her baby nap alone outside, otherwise known in the book as ‘air bathing.’

Popular in Sweden, the concept is based on ‘friluftsliv,’ meaning open-air living, where parents let children sleep in cold conditions outside in prams, believing that fresh air regulates their immune system and keeps them healthy and strong.

In 1950s Britain, mothers would happily stick the pram in the street by the front door.

Living in central London, she felt that this might be dangerous, so when her son was born, she opted for her teeny back patio instead. 

The book says that it’s completely normal to be nearby, getting on with your knitting and needlework or, in her case, relaxing on her phone.

Today’s earth mothers may think that rocking their baby to sleep and holding them for hours on end while they sleep is the ultimate connection, but this young mother said ‘That holding the baby while he slept sounded like a mild prison sentence, and how would she get anything done?’

‘Mothercraft’ demonstrates that indulging your child just won’t work unless, of course, there is something physically wrong, such as a wet nappy, and that sleep training is a good solution.

The same goes for the endless breastfeeding. Forget the five-year-old rascal sliding into the marital bed for a midnight chow! 

‘Mothercraft’ also recommends weaning at about 12 months old.

This lady followed the book and started sleep training from day one. The rule is to do it in short intervals – check all is well, comfort them, leave the door open, but don’t take them out of the cot or rock them to sleep.

Today’s parents may say sleep training is cruel, but in the words of another parenting guru, Gina Ford, ‘Sleep is taught, not stumbled upon.’

The book’s motto is, ‘Happy mother, happy baby.’ So, for this young lady, that was all she needed to know.

When she first brought her son home, she stuck to the sleep training advice, and within two weeks, he was napping and sleeping well.

The next sound suggestion by ‘Mothercraft’ was to start toilet training your baby in the first few months.

After each feed, she would hold her son above the toilet so he could get used to the feeling of ‘going.’

She said that she did it at a toffy garden party in Notting Hill over a rose bush, which the men were not impressed by, but, as ‘Mothercraft’ suggests, with the wind on their bottom, the baby starts to get the notion of how toileting works, and she’s not alone – comedian Katherine Ryan started toilet training her babies when they were four months old, and suggests that children can be completely toilet trained within a year.

The book suggests that parents need to just listen for sounds indicating they need to go, such as grunts, and when they can sit up, pop them on ‘the chamber with a toy’.

She said that there were plenty of accidents along the way, but her son was swiftly toilet-trained at a year and a half, and going into his toddler years, she saved a fortune on nappies.

Unlike today’s children, when it comes to playing and developing, ‘Mothercraft’ enthuses not to bother with costly toys and eye-wateringly expensive days out.

Instead, ‘Mothercraft’ claims that ‘children ask for love, not riches’. 

Boredom is good for them, and for social development, so give them a saucepan, wooden spoon and cardboard box.

She said that she has always let her son be actively bored because it stimulates him to use his imagination and be creative.

Of course, there were few TV screens in the 1950s, but even so, the book firmly states, ‘Do not confuse mothering with spoiling.’

She said that she only lets her son watch documentaries and occasional TV shows like Blue Peter and Horrible Histories, not hours of ADHD-inducing, mind-wilting YouTube.

She has observed babies on the bus watching TikTok, kids arriving at nursery with their iPad, and she’s even witnessed a dad at the doctors who couldn’t wrestle his phone away from his toddler, so just weakly let him watch Coco Melon on full blast.

In today’s consumerist society, too many of us are obsessed with the doctrine that any boredom or confrontation is terrible.

It all begins when you attend those awful National Childbirth Trust (NCT) classes that prospective parents are urged to attend as a way to meet other families nearby, and then they give you a long list of things to buy.

She said that as she wandered around John Lewis with a list chock-full of breast pumps and maternity pads, she referred back to the book, and while she may not have gone as far as ‘Mothercraft’s’ suggestion of using a padded box on a saw-off chair as a first cot, she decided to heed the advice that babies don’t need much.

She tossed the list, got some second-hand bits, and the only splurge she was instructed to make was a large perambulator. The firm favourite was a Silvercross Balmoral pram.

‘Mothercraft’ also advises new mums to let the baby be entertained at home and in the garden. New mums have it shoved down their throats now that as soon as a bundle of joy arrives, they should be signed up for baby massage, sensory classes or yoga.

She said that after her son was born, she joined one of those musical baby classes, but as the mums clanged away on triangles and spoon-fed their babies from pureed pouches, she decided to make a speedy departure.

Instead, she gave her son the ‘Mothercraft’ special: meat such as steak, rabbit, liver, bacon and chicken that should be given two to three times a day, even if the baby has just a few teeth. As a treat, she was advised to give a slice of Madeira cake for pudding.

She said that it was nice to share meal times too, rather than giving her son jars of ultra-processed baby food.

The manual promotes the child fitting into your life… not the other way around, and as soon as they are old enough, they can start setting the table and clearing away.

She said that her son helps set plates and does his bit around the house as per the book, and with a few add-ons, she will ask him to order food in restaurants and to ask for the bill, as well as requesting things in shops, and to always say thank you.

The parenting book suggests that the more independence children have, the more they will be able to handle the world in an ever-changing landscape.

One chapter aptly says, ‘Good impressions have lasting results,’ and how children converse is paramount, and ‘Mothercraft’ suggests other useful tips, including spraying cologne in your child’s hair if it’s tangled, flannel washing in a warm blanket, and that cod liver oil will sort out most ailments.

It has a superabundance of women’s advice, too, such as ‘chest exercises’ to keep the bust from sagging, and soaking your vagina in iodine to keep it super fresh.

She said that many people believe that women did all the work in the 1950s, and that dads just sat there ignorant with a pipe by the fire, but she was pleased to say there was a chapter named ‘Fathercraft’ too.

In the book it explains that dads should send their wives away for a break if they have morning sickness, bring them tea in bed and the pinnacle, ‘that both parents share the responsibilities, as well as the interests and joys in their family’, so that it has a ‘combination that leaves a deep and lasting impression in the minds of their children.’

That’s because authoritative parenting (not to be confused with authoritarian) has been proven, with positive reinforcement, to give children the discipline and skills they need in life, generating higher educational scores and mental well-being.

With today’s ‘gentle parenting’, in numerous cases, this is not the case.

There have been numerous online threads featuring mums frustrated because dad has checked out, and after relying on namby-pampy techniques, they then wonder why they have ended up with ‘anxious, insecure and entitled’ brats.

Such demands include multiple ‘duvet days,’ letting them play Roblox repeatedly and disregarding everyone around them, should they feel like it. This is not a functional, healthy or happy way to live.

Life is about choices, but when they are children, it is not up to them to make big decisions.

By letting them run amok, they will become grown-ups with no motivation, confidence or anything to aspire towards. And you can forget good manners.

If people believe that this woman is mad and that we’ve moved on from the 1950s parenting styles, well, this woman said she doesn’t care.

She said that as parents, we never know how our children will turn out, but she hopes that by putting a moral compass in place, even if her son veers off, he will eventually return to the place of morality, sensibility, kindness, and a strong backbone.

Some of you would have been born into an age that adhered to these principles, but these days we have children who are dummies because they are allowed too many electronic devices, all easily accessible because most young people use them these days. A mother attached to her phone with no communication between parent and child. What a horrible sight to see!

Most mums before the 1990s raised their children the ‘old way’, and most of their children have grown up to be grounded adults. Clearly, there are still some that don’t.

Teachers are now nursemaids, especially in the early years, because of Gen Z parenting. Some kids don’t know how to use cutlery, go to the toilet, take off their coats or play, but the little darlings can work their way around an iPad, though.

And you would be surprised at how many nursery kids have no concept of what a nursery rhyme is.

How this lady is bringing up her son is precisely the way that I was brought up, and my children as well. We were told to go outside and play and to find something to do, and guess what, we did. We all ate the same food at the dinner table, and we had to watch our P’s and Q’s and treat others how we wanted to be treated ourselves. It’s basic, really, but the trouble is, kids these days don’t even know how to wash up.

These days, sending kids to school in nappies, providing them with no cognitive or mental stimulation, and putting them in a corner or on the couch with a gadget are all contributing factors to a variety of physical and mental issues.

I watch people who are 20 years old who have to be told basic things at work. Who are offended by everything and believe that they are entitled, so really, we should salute this woman and others like her. We have no room for soft-touch adolescents here!

The Best Mugs With Sex And Drugs

With a dash of his usual bluster and arrogance, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor famously shrugged off the party he hosted at Sandringham Estate as ‘a straightforward shooting weekend’.

But an extraordinary picture, released as part of a damning trove of 300,000 documents from the so-called Epstein Files, has this weekend raised new questions about precisely what took place at one of the Royal Family’s most cherished residencies.

The black-and-white photograph shows Andrew, who was stripped of his royal titles last month, sprawling across the laps of five elegantly attired women.

Neither the date nor location of the photograph was released, but The Mail on Sunday can reveal it captures a raucous scene from a party hosted by Andrew for paedophile Jeffrey Epsteinand his girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwellat Sandringham in early December 2000, to mark Maxwell’s 39th birthday.

Furthermore, claims of a debauched event at Queen Elizabeth’s cherished private residence in Norfolk have surfaced, which runs counter to Andrew’s account of the event.

Lubricants, condoms and drugs to enhance sexual experiences were all found after the party, according to a bombshell book. Although not pictured, depraved financier Epstein, accused of abusing 1,200 women and girls, is understood to have attended the party.

The Windsor Legacy by Robert Jobson claims that bathrooms were littered with the paraphernalia, including sex drugs called poppers.

Citing a ‘palace source’, Mr Jobson writes: ‘Staff were stunned to discover the bathrooms were stocked not only with toiletries, but poppers, lube and condoms.’

The photograph shows Andrew – smiling for the camera in a bow tie and dinner jacket – with his face close to the bare legs of one of the women, all of whom have had their identities protected by US Government lawyers.

Maxwell, serving a 20-year prison term for helping Epstein abuse young girls, hovers in the scene, alongside another woman whose identity is also protected.

The photo was taken in Sandringham’s lavish saloon, which serves as the Royal Family’s sitting room.

On Christmas Eve, the family gets together in the room for afternoon tea, and on Christmas Day, they watch the King’s Speech.

Royal author Andrew Lownie, the photograph of Andrew’s party in the heart of the 237-room Sandringham House would ‘horrify his family’. ‘It is one of their private inner sanctums, and they will be appalled that Andrew treated it as just another place to have fun and show off to his friends.’

It is only one of many remarkable pictures that reveal Epstein and Maxwell’s access to the affluent society, thanks to the former prince.

In one photo, released on Friday by the US Department of Justice, Epstein and Maxwell are seen with Andrew in the Royal Box at Ascot. They were personal guests of Andrew on June 22, 2000, at Ladies’ Day, which Queen Elizabeth and the Queen Mother also attended. Andrew later described Epstein as his ‘plus one’ and not a guest of the Royal Family.

The released files also include a photograph of Epstein and Maxwell shooting on moorland at Balmoral. The former prince reportedly invited the couple to stay at the Scottish estate in 1999.

Andrew has been dogged by allegations that he sexually assaulted then 17-year-old Virginia Giuffre after she was trafficked by Epstein. He has constantly and vehemently repudiated all accusations.

There are really no surprises here. The wealthy and elite have been carrying on like this for centuries, but what annoys the most is the hypocrisy of it all when they try to tell us that we need to live by the moral code, which they do not. Say as I do, but not as I do.

However, no one listens to them, not anymore, and they are skating on very thin ice.

This is all very stupid because our oppressors are not going to let the peasants a glimpse behind the psychotic curtain.

They all look down their noses at us – the judiciary, ministers, politicians and anybody who implements the rules by which we, the peasants, have to live.

PIP And Universal Credit Claimants Warned About Face-To-Face Meetings

The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has dropped a bombshell on hundreds of thousands of Personal Independence Payment (PIP) claimants, announcing they’ll need to show up for face-to-face assessments. The DWP is cranking up the number of in-person evaluations, it told benefit recipients this week.

This move follows objections, which indicated the surge in virtual meetings was leading to too many approvals.

Face-to-face assessments took a nosedive after COVID hit, and the existing Labour government has taken a swipe at Tory-agreed contracts that specified 80 per cent of assessments be done virtually.

The DWP has confirmed plans to ramp up the percentage of in-person assessments. For PIP, the percentage will leap from 6 per cent in 2024 (57,000) to 30 per cent of all assessments, while the Work Capability Assessment (WCA) will jump from 13 per cent in 2024 (74,000) to 30 per cent.

In addition, the DWP is stretching out the time between check-ups to see if a claimant’s condition still qualifies them for PIP. This move, it says, will free up health professionals to conduct more face-to-face assessments and deliver more WCA reassessments.

It said it underscored the crucial role of reassessments in tracking how changes in health conditions and disabilities impact people over time.

All told, the DWP considers these steps will pocket the UK taxpayer a cool £1.9 billion by the close of 2030/31. This comes hand-in-hand with employment initiatives targeting sick or disabled people, including Connect to Work and the deployment of 1,000 additional work coaches.

Work and Pensions Secretary Pat McFadden commented: “We’re committed to reforming the welfare system we inherited, which for too long has written off millions as too sick to work.

“That is why we are ramping up the number of assessments we do face-to-face and taking action to tackle the inherited backlog of people waiting for a Work Capability Assessment.

“These reforms will allow us to save £1.9 billion, creating a welfare state that supports those who need it while helping people into work and delivering fairness to the taxpayer.”

Of course, some people are work-shy and don’t want to work, but the system works; people will always fall through the cracks because those who work in DWP are not infallible, and I suppose that makes the system flawed to a point.

You also have to remember that not everyone claiming a benefit is a blagger and is actually in need, even if it’s not observable, but once the brush is tarred, people believe that everyone is a blagger, but that’s what our government want you to believe, and don’t even believe that they don’t mess with the numbers!

However, making them do a face-to-face like they’re the Starzi is not the way to go about it. There has to be a more compassionate way? What will it be next? Burning people at the stake, or submerging them in water, and if they don’t drown, they’re not benefit scroungers. Better still, why don’t they all get them to do a lie detector test? Not the claimants, the people who work there!

Flight Of The Wild Geese

Dozens of wild geese have been killed for the Christmas dinner table in a spate of shocking attacks, it is believed.

The bodies of 70 birds were dumped in Norfolk and Cambridgeshire earlier this month, some of which had their breasts removed.

In the first incident, 39 pink-footed geese and one pigeon were left on the roadside in Wisbech, Cambridgeshire, on December 7.

Their necks were tied with blue string, and they had been butchered for their breast meat. Another 31 greylag geese were discovered in a similar condition and reported to the council at Terrington St Clement, Norfolk, on December 15.

King’s Lynn and West Norfolk council environment committee member Sandra Squire said: ‘We don’t know whether they were humanely killed, we don’t know how they were butchered and whether it was hygienic, so we don’t know if they are fit for human consumption.

‘That level of meat is more than just for personal use. It’s definitely organised, and we’re hoping it doesn’t happen again.’

Police in Norfolk said no wildlife offences had been committed because geese can be shot legally.

Meanwhile, residents in Newport, South Wales, have set up a Goose Watch group after five privately-owned geese disappeared last week.

Allan Morris, a councillor from the city’s Liswerry ward, said: ‘Over the past week I’ve been contacted by the owner, and he’s concerned that five of his geese have gone missing and people are taking them for food.

‘They’ve significantly reduced the numbers, and it’s no coincidence that Christmas is coming up, times are hard, and the geese are getting nicked. But if you want geese for your Christmas dinner, go to a supermarket or butchers,’ he added.

According to the British Poultry Council, about 250,000 geese are eaten at Christmas in Britain, a figure dwarfed by the estimated nine million turkeys that share the same fate.

However, goose is widely viewed as the more luxurious choice, prized for its more decadent flavour, with the average bird feeding approximately six people.

Mr Morris later issued a stern warning in an online post, writing: ‘Seriously, it’s not funny.

‘If you see anyone harassing or trying to capture one of the geese or ducks, please challenge them or ring one of the ward councillors and we will notify the owner.’

This is startling, yet it had to be expected given the expanding population.

Now in our country, nothing is safe, and our birds are being tortured. Is there nobody in our government capable of saving our country?

When we were children, our parents would take us to feed the geese and ducks; now we want to kill and eat them!

Given that the average Brit wouldn’t know where to start in plucking, boning and portioning the breast off a chicken, let alone a goose, perhaps our authorities should be looking in other directions.

Evidently, many of these people don’t observe Christmas, so they’re not killing them to eat, but they’re killing them to peddle to anybody who wants to buy the meat.

Greylag geese are a common species of wildfowl seen throughout the UK, and they can only be legally hunted during open shooting seasons. Clear regulations shroud the shooting of greylag geese that must be observed.

So, yes, geese can be shot legally, which opens up a whole new opportunity for Christmas dinner in Rachel Reeve’s overtaxed, cash-strapped Britain.

Government Wants To Restrict Parking

The Government is set to impose sweeping restrictions on parking spaces in a bid to facilitate ‘sustainable transport’, new plans have revealed.

The Prime Minister is considering the measures, which would oblige councils to set a cap on the number of spaces on new housing developments, according to documents obtained by the Daily Mail.

The goal of the regulations is to deter drivers from using cars in favour of more environmentally friendly options like bicycling or public transportation.

Critics say it is a further warning to motorists, who will be squeezed for already limited and often expensive parking options. 

Some campaigners also warn that shortages for off-road spaces could mean drivers resort to more dangerous or even illegal parking practices.

The documents in the Government’s National Planning Policy Framework said they intend to ‘better support opportunities for active travel’ like walking, cycling, and wheeling.

The documents also state that the new parking restrictions will be a requirement, ‘rather than simply suggesting this as an option’.

The plans stated: [The policy] also introduces a more permissive approach to maximum parking standards, removing the requirement for ”a clear and compelling justification’ where such standards support sustainable transport, optimise development densities in accessible locations, or manage local road networks.’

It added that the plans ‘include new provisions for incorporating facilities that prioritise sustainable transport and add explicit references to meeting the needs of older people, children, and people with disabilities.’

Labour says the Government’s proposed overhaul of England’s national planning policy framework (NPPF) and the new reforms will help the party hit its target of building 1.5 million new homes by the end of this parliament. 

The changes are a part of a consultation that will continue until the spring of the following year.

Back in 2011, the coalition government ditched council-imposed limits on parking spaces for new housing developments since it unfairly impacted car users.

In 2015, regulations were tightened further, with councils only being allowed to impose parking limits where they had a ‘clear and compelling’ reason, but under Labour’s new proposed plans, this will be totally overhauled.

Councils will be required to set parking limits – without the need to prove any reason for doing so.

It has been met with backlash by campaigners, who say the plans will allow councils to raise more money from drivers, and that if it backfires, then there could be a rise in dangerous parking as a result.

Brian Gregory, of the Alliance of British Drivers, told the Telegraph: ‘This is a continuation of Labour’s intensifying war on road users.

‘They are quite happy to take billions a week from road-user taxation, while the roads are falling apart and there already isn’t adequate parking in many towns and cities.

‘This offers councils the ability to raise more money for parking charges and enforcement. It is just another way of extracting more money from road users by making it difficult to park.’

This is a ridiculous idea, but then Labour are obsessed with thinking up silly ideas to make them even more money and being more disliked, which will make Reform look an even better option.

This is just an attack on ordinary people, especially elderly people who are now supposed to just hop on a bike, or wait ages for a bus or unreliable train.

This is literally George Orwell’s ‘Animal Farm’ coming to life before our very eyes. In the end, the only people who will be allowed personal transport will be, you guessed it, the politicians.

First of all, we need sustainable transport. Not everybody lives in a major city where buses run every nine minutes or so. People in rural areas often lack regular bus services and therefore rely on a car to get around, especially for work.

This current crop of MPs, including our Prime Minister, is anti-car, anti-British, anti-prosperity, anti-farmer and anti-Landlord.

The people in our government are idiots.
