I hated going to weddings. All the grandmas would poke me and say "You're next". They stopped that when I started doing it to them at funerals.

| One knock on effect of all this is that the UK puts so many people in prison for social media posts, or even liking certain social media posts, that they don't have room for more serious cases. When you hear about a replacement whose African or Muslim kidnap and brutally rape a child, then is let go, that's why. |

On a related note, it seems that politicians and bureaucrats all over the world are comprised of the lowest forms of humanity. It's like they're drawn to the job for some reason. Utter garbage, most of them. I believe it was Noah Webster back after the founding of this country that said something about the possiblity. "If the citizens neglect their Duty and place unprincipled men in office, the government will soon be corrupted; laws will be made, not for the public good so much as for selfish or local purposes; corrupt or incompetent men will be appointed to execute the Laws; the public revenues will be squandered on unworthy men; and the rights of the citizen will be violated or disregarded." |

Maybe Global warming concerns will recede once they figure out it takes electricity to get AC. |

I can’t believe what Britain has become. At one time the sun never set on the British empire now the native British women are getting raped and attacked by immigrants. Nobody is allowed to to say anything if you sound the alarm you are the bad guy. Rename Britain to Cuck Island? |

Being patriotic not the fashion so they said. To fly our country’s flags a crime…. Attached File Tried to warn Britain, but it’s too late now. |
| Just think how much money they would save if they would just leave them up. I cannot comprehend how wadded up your panties have to be that you hate your own flag. Now imagine how much cheaper it would be if they weren’t housing and feeding people who hate your culture and want to saw your head off. |

Now imagine how much cheaper it would be if they weren’t housing and feeding people who hate your culture and want to saw your head off. Pictures and slogans [and flags] are powerful things psychologically and governments fear that immensely. Have you ever saluted a flag or listened to our anthem and felt pride well up inside you? That is what the government wants to quash fast and hard. |
Liberals are a curious mix of communism and fascism, they want to destroy you but want to use your own money to do it.

You should move to the right lane, where the rule of vehicle and traffic law still exists. You will not survive here. You are not a wolf, and the left lane is the land of wolves now.

The US is next. We let millions of third world scum come into this country and now their birth rate puts them producing more children than real Americans. Half of the births in this country is from legal and illegal immigrants. They are winning elections in several states and cities. Once they get a little more power (and it is inevitable) they will do the same shit here that was done in the UK and other countries in Europe. The Left wanted it to happen because they got voters. Import third world shit and you get Socialist voters. We on the Right let it happen because we didn't have the courage to stop it. We didn't want to be called racist or whatever. We will all have to deal with the consequences. If not us directly then our children. |

I recall a video I saw a few months ago where a rally was held in a place that had UK flags flying. A very angry police officer went to one guy, ripped the UK flag out of his hands and put it in a trash can. The officer should have been tossed under the jail at the very least. |
Every knee in heaven and on earth and under the earth will bow to worship him. Everyone’s mouth will say that Jesus Christ is Lord.

I lived in the UK in the early 2000's and had a Naval Officer tell me how he liked how Americans were proud of their country and flag. When I asked him why they weren't, he said the flag was hijacked by the "skinheads" and was seen as representing their ideology ever since. Another told me taking pride in the country was seen as jingoistic. That was over 20 years ago. I never thought I'd see it here but progressivism is a cancer. |

More recently, a town in Massachusetts sent residents letters of potential legal troubles if they fly a flag on their property citing it was disturbing to migratory birds. Plus the many attempts by HOA's to ban and regulate flags (specifically the US Flag). |

It’s quite ironic they are demanding the proles step up to die for a flag they would be jailed for displaying. |

Their own rules stated that "special interest" flags could fly for one week during the month an appropriate holiday occurred provided an individual or organization made a written request no less than 30 days in advance. Of course, I'm also the reason they deleted the general public comment period at council meetings in favor of a pre-meeting "listening session" that wasn't recorded and couldn't be used as propaganda against their extremism. They absolutely hated me, but things like that are how you beat them at their own game. They probably threw a party when my house went on the market. Thank you for showing up.

If they put all those opposed to the current invasion in prison pretty soon prison will be an exclusionary community of white Christian patriotic and indigenous Brits Everywhere else indigenous peoples are considered sacred |
For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood from His workmanship, so that men are without excuse.

It's absolutely baffling how badly their government (at least the ones in power) seem to HATE them. Look how many members of their government agencies are foreigners. I really feel bad for actual Brits who want to reclaim their country but are being threatened and arrested; their country is sowing division and fear, and working overtime to ensure that nobody trust anyone else. Until they divest themselves of their invaders and the people facilitating the overthrow it'll just continue to it's logical conclusion- same thing is happening here. Not doomerism, realism.
