Farage is not serious. Why create another bureaucracy when the Royal Navy only needs a few cannon boats to blow the invading soldiers of allah out of the water?
Mark Steyn’s got his number:
Farage has studiously avoided making comments about grooming gangs, Sharia law, cousin marriage or terrorist attacks. There is a fine line when honesty is sacrificed to expediency.

‘Financial and Ethical Misconduct’ Allegations Against Davos Founder Klaus Schwab Made Public
Manipulating research, using company funds to pay for private, in-room massages, asking junior staff to withdraw thousands of dollars for personal use, demanding senior management deliver a Nobel Peace Prize nomination.
These are just some of the lurid allegations that pushed the World Economic Forum (WEF) to launch an investigation into its now departed founder, Klaus Schwab, after anonymous whistleblowers aired their concerns about the German octogenarian.
Whenever we think the tyranny by Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes has reached an unsurpassable level, he goes about surprising us with an even more outrageous actions in his quest to convict and imprison Bolsonaro.
Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro was served a subpoena yesterday (23) about the criminal prosecution in the Supreme Court in which he is a defendant for the totally imaginary charge of ‘attempted coup d’état’.
The document was delivered by a court officer and signed by him around 1 pm, inside the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) bed of the DF Star hospital, in Brasília, where he has been hospitalized since the 12th.
Abu Abbas smells the coffee: he talks tough because his a$$ is on the line. Israel had enough. He knows he will be next if this situation is not resolved asap. Will be interesting to see if something comes of it.
The words of Mahmoud Abbas, calling Hamas “sons of dogs” and telling them to “release the hostages,” will likely deceive the naive into believing that Abbas is a “moderate” who stands in defense of the hostages and even in defense of Israel’s right to exist, when the truth is that Abbas has run a pay-for-slay program to reward “martyrs” (and their families) for murdering Israelis. Abbas also denies the Holocaust, does not actually recognize Israel’s right to exist, and seeks Israel’s destruction.
Abbas’ goal to taking aim at Hamas is rooted in the Palestinian Authority’s longstanding competition with Hamas to rule Gaza. Abbas has remained resolute that Hamas should not play a role in governing post-war Gaza, and he is positioning himself for the role in future. The Biden administration supported the Palestinian Authority in that vision.
IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir warned troops in Gaza today that unless a hostage agreement is reached soon, the military will escalate its operations against Hamas.
He emphasized that pressure on Hamas is ongoing and could intensify into a much broader campaign aimed at achieving their full defeat. Zamir directly blamed Hamas for launching the war, holding hostages in brutal conditions, and causing the suffering of Gaza’s population. He also said Hamas, like Hezbollah’s leadership, underestimates Israel’s capabilities and determination.
It was an act of bravery. It was long overdue. Needless to mention that the booing was aimed at the abominable “Welcome to Country”, not the Anzacs. It had to be done. We’ve all had enough of this virtue-signalling nonsense which has no place at an Anzac ceremony.
“Welcome to Country” is a nonsensical ritual where an Aboriginal person or persons “welcome” Australians onto land that supposedly still belongs to Aboriginals.
During the Dawn Service, as an Aboriginal man delivered the Welcome to Country, people in the crowd booed and called out:
“What about the Anzacs?”
“We’re here for all Australians!”
They’d had enough. And they spoke—not with violence, but with raw honesty. 2/12 pic.twitter.com/lcsCAMOrcW
The attack in Indian-administered Kashmir came amid the peak tourist season and prompted global condemnation.

Security forces have launched a manhunt after gunmen opened fire on tourists and killed 26 people in Indian-administered Kashmir’s worst attack on civilians in almost a quarter of a century.
All those killed in Tuesday’s attack were listed as residents of India, except for one man from Nepal.
A statement issued in the name of The Resistance Front (TRF), which is believed to be an offshoot of Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba, claimed responsibility for the attack.
The statement linked the attacks to the thousands of residency permits being handed over to Indian citizens, allowing them to settle in Kashmir. Al Jazeera could not independently confirm the statement’s authenticity.
Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah said the attack had been “much larger than anything we’ve seen directed at civilians” in recent years.
“This attack on our visitors is an abomination,” Abdullah said in a statement.
The killings led to global condemnation.
United States President Donald Trump called Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to offer “full support to India to bring to justice the perpetrators of this heinous attack”.
China, which neighbours the troubled region, offered its “sincere sympathies” to the families of those killed.
Authorities in recent years have promoted the mountainous region as a holiday destination for skiing during winter and to escape the sweltering summer heat elsewhere in India.
About 3.5 million tourists visited Kashmir last year, mostly domestic visitors.
