World War 3: Equal Rights, Equal Draft

The head of the British Army has warned that political leaders will soon tell the public they must make personal sacrifices to prepare forContinue reading “World War 3: Equal Rights, Equal Draft”
Do Your Duty, Or Die Trying
Jacob Rees-Mogg has faced intense backlash after posting a video urging British citizens to “do their duty” in a future war, acknowledging that “people have to die to save their country.” The former government minister was hammered from all sides of the political spectrum on Monday, after he went on an eight-minute rant compelling theContinue reading “Do Your Duty, Or Die Trying”
I Choose Life!
I don’t agree with wars, full stop. No hedging, no “but what if,” no caveats. Just a human truth stated plainly. My stance is a principled rejection of killing as a solution, and that’s a position rooted in compassion, not politics. I’m not here to argue anyone out of that stance. It’s a humane one.Continue reading “I Choose Life!”

LIAR, LIAR, LIAR
Keir Starmer needs to be removed from office right away because he is a cunning toad. He has spent his political career telling the UK citizens that they are racist for being proud of their flag, but that’s a tad rich, especially now he’s asking them to die for a foreign war. Equally, when ourContinue reading “LIAR, LIAR, LIAR”

Amid Soaring Energy Prices, Reeves Warns Middle-Income Families Won’t Get Help
Rachel Reeves will make it clear that middle-class people won’t receive government support for their soaring energy costs. The Chancellor is expected to make clear that any bailout will be targeted rather than universal as she responds to the Middle East situation. In a Commons statement, she will also outline plans to prevent price ‘gouging’.Continue reading “Amid Soaring Energy Prices, Reeves Warns Middle-Income Families Won’t Get Help”
Iran’s missiles Cannot Be Stopped By UK Defences
If Iran launched a rocket strike on the UK akin to the one that was tried on Diego Garcia this weekend, Britain would have to rely on American missile defence systems stationed in Europe. The warning came after Tehran released two ballistic missiles on Friday night towards the base in the Indian Ocean, which isContinue reading “Iran’s missiles Cannot Be Stopped By UK Defences”
