Oh my goodness. Seriously I’m first ??whatever your faith – as Dave Allen used to sign off with, “May your God go with you”
Brissles!
You beat me to it by a few seconds – would it be thus…;0)
Have a fabulous Christmas, and enjoy the fruits of your energetic discussions to the full – whomsoever you’re talking to!
I feel a tincture coming on, for everyone here to celebrate our British way of life, and hope that the future will be, in no small part, reported properly, because of the relentless denigration of our culture from the failures on the bBC, and we’ll see the actual rise in real British values next year!
Happy Christmas everybody – and thank you Fed, for doing all this from your sick bed – you deserve a Knighthood, but make sure you wear it to keep out any further germs…
Brissles, (my dear old thing and it is the Ashes series down under and England has lost the Ashes – oh woe and thrice woe as Frankie Howard used to say) congratulations on your top spot!
And I’m second, ladies in first and second place.
Merry Christmas everyone. (Merriness here due to eating damsons out of the damson gin!)
And don’t you deserve it, Debs!
I’ve loved seeing your comments through the year, and am now wondering whether I’ll a) Go to bed, or b) Watch ‘Not the nine o’ cock news’, or c) er, watch the Nine o’clock news, as I’m
searching for a sketch they did, with some ‘evangelists’ singing a stupidly futile song about some foreign religious culture, and I have to reel through several hours of fun and games…
(Marky – stand up and do the business please…)!
The change in IHT for farmers seems to have dropped out of the news as this ruddy government expected it to with an announcement so close to Christmas..
But why did they do it? I wasn’t happy with the Telegraph’s explanation of pressure from Labour rural MPs. I suspect that Starmer was really going to be blamed for a number of farmers committing suicide in the press.
Talk Radio had a farmer on this morning, explaining that the smaller farmers will be ‘happy’, but the larger farms will still suffer, and the industry will pass (end up into), State Production of British food supplies, like Russia, or North Korea..
It’s pure spiteful envy by the marxist Starmer, and this travesty – or his nasty, invidious instructions – cobbled together by Thieves, will never, ever be forgotten.
Luckily, even after a couple of years, a reasonable British government will cancel this far-left audacity just in time to save some more farmers from killing themselves to escape the distaste of the covetous commies in Mohammed street.
Happy Christmas everyone
wwfc, and Happy Christmas to you even if Wolverhampton Wanderers are bottom of the premier league and are winless this footie season.
If you’re familiar with the history of wolves, you know it’s been far worse before.
I did not know that – were they relegated then?
In the 80s, they were just a minute away from going out of business and eventually ended up in the old Fourth Division.
Happy Christams, loud appaluse, © Spike Milligna, the well known spelling mistook, to Fedup2 and Robert, who does the techie bits. Happy New Year to both of you as well.

Amazing how the extensive BBC Verify team never find the easy ones like that …. too busy playing around with google maps.
Just pondering what sort of pond life would be so corrupted that they would think this a worthy thing to try to get away with. Morals of a used toilet…..
Have a great day everybody, before they make it illegal to even mention it.
I’ve just noticed the irony of me not mentioning the day even before it’s illegal to do so.
As this is Christmas, I was somewhat stunned to discover from the Telegraph that Jewish children in London actually have to rehearse what to do in the event the Muslims try to murder them.
From AI:
‘Jewish children in London schools regularly participate in security drills, often referred to as “lockdown drills” or “invacuation” drills, to prepare for a potential intruder or terrorist attack. These drills have been a part of school life for some time and have received increased attention in the media following surges in antisemitic incidents in the UK. ‘
No ‘increased attention’ from the BBC though – they are not bothered about it one bit. It’s not even worth reporting to them.
It’s simply incomprehensible to me how one group of society in our capital city are in constant fear of being murdered through racist hatred by another group and the BBC are absolutely fine about it. They ignore it.
Just imagine their outrage if it were any other group doing it.
So I wish everyone a happy Christmas except all those Leftists who enable the BBC to do what it does. I hope they have a miserable Christmas. They deserve it.
Sadly, not just children in Jewish schools but anyone attending synagogue practices what to do in case of attack.
Merry Christmas to everyone on here and thanks for helping to preserve my sanity in this mad world.
Does anyone remember the film ‘A Shot in the Dark’? It’s the best one in the Pink Panther series. Well, any time I’m operating the TV remote, scrolling around trying to find a film to watch and stumble across the BBC logo, my eye starts to twitch like that of Commissioner Dreyfus.
Happy Christmas everyone!
I want to wish all you good folk a very Merry Christmas and give a special thanks to Fedup who is doing the Lord’s work, keeping this site afloat.
My primary memory of A Shot in the Dark seems to focus on Elke Sommer, but then I was 18 when that came out so that might explain it.
For those who enjoy country music from the USA. Some wonderful singing from Joan Baez at the end:
One of my all-time Banjo playing heros Earl Scruggs
GREAT ! I love a banjo. When I discovered there is a smaller version – banjolino I took up the Ukulele 18 months ago in the hope to progress to that instrument. I’m rubbish at Soduko so learning a new instrument was the next option. Now I’m in a 70 strong group, never looked back and it’s fabulous fun.
Brissles
Learning new skills like that – impressive.
One of the GC’s was given a ukelele yesterday, and I was immediately given the task of tuning it…
I just went for the top four guitar tuning; D-G-B-E, then looked at the instructions, to see a totally different tuning!
Hmmm – I really do enjoy changing guitar tuning, there are some fabulous combinations as such, but in ten minutes of getting this lovely chap(ette), into tune, I didn’t really excel…
Here’s something to ponder this Christmas!
I always take our dog out quite early, to avoid some of the traffic etc.
A few years ago, Senora O’Blene and I had a Jack Russell who wanted a walk like any dog, and was always buggering about on the paths and roads, so we had to keep her on a tight lead.
There’s a quiet cemetary not far away, and while we knew several of the inmates, the path down there was always too dangerous to walk on, as lorries etc used to thunder by and frighten us all in turn, and the only day we could do that particular walk was Christmas day, for obvious reasons- – no traffic!
More recent dog Lily has never ever done that walk in all the three or four years she’s lived here, as I keep to the local lanes, fields etc, and all is well. She’s never even tried to go in that direction either.
This morning, we started quite late – around 8.00am, and did the usual bits close to the house, and for the first time ever, she decided to do that special walk, and was determined to get down there, running all the way, and sniff everywhere around our old sleeping friends! She’s never done that before!
Now why did that happen on this particular day of all days – uncanny eh?
Scrobs, I think one of your friends there was wanting a visit and the message came through Lily. Without going into detail, me the cynic, could believe it possible.
Thoughtful point, Debs – thank you!
I have no problem in believing any issues which don’t seem to be ‘rational’, and the opportunity and comfort of seeing and remembering so many friends and names is a remarkable experience!
Lils just poked around the hundreds of stones, we didn’t find some of the chums I expected to see, but I learned something from one lady, because it was written on her stone! I also spotted the stone of the husband of one of my favourite ladies in the village!
I was lucky coming back, because it’s uphill, and I really needed a bit of help…
I too had a couple of unexplainable “experiences” and I’m the most rationale person this side of insanity. So I don’t dismiss anything out of hand now.
Merry Christmas everybody
TWaTO Watch #1- from yesterday
The BBC are wasteful. The Montacutie is off ski-ing again or off on her hols somewhere warmer. Jonny Dymond was standing in for Sarah yesterday. I think highly paid radio (and TV) presenters should detail their holidays and time off from presenting on the BBC. Have the BBC chosen the next Director General yet?
Thinking about the the damage done to this country by Tony Blair and his clones since reminded me of this poem by Chesterton.
The men that worked for England
They have their graves at home:
And bees and birds of England
About the cross can roam.
But they that fought for England,
Following a falling star,
Alas, alas for England
They have their graves afar.
And they that rule in England,
In stately conclave met,
Alas, alas for England,
They have no graves as yet.
Lets hope soon we have a government who will serve the interests of the British people.
One can live in hope.

Another Annoying Thing about the BBC! (… just the one …. ?)
Earlier in 2025 Desert Island Discs was downloadable by listeners who wanted to build up a collection of Desert Island Disc programmes and they are one of the more interesting programmes on Radio 4 or Radio Flaw as I think of it! Needless to say this feature has been done away with just like the BBC reneging on their agreement to keep iPlayer free for those who wished to view TV later on.
The BBC are greedy for listeners’ time. And the BBC are greedy for listener’s and viewer’s money. The BBC thought if the BBC went back on their agreement for iPlayer people would rush out and buy TV Licences. That has not happened and is not likely to! More and more people are refusing to pay the TellyTax. Defund the BBC!

I’ve had a fabulous Christmas Day, when decent British Citizens celebrate the real power of love, strength and friendship!
I had a huge lunch with the Daughters, and Grand Daughters, (Fifteen, Fourteen and Twelve – funny names), stayed off the hooch, (driving), had an hour on the phone with my dear Sister and am now going to spend the evening completely avoiding the awful, dreary dross on the bBC and watching some decent comedy from elsewhere, with a glass or two of Calvados…!
What more could a Scrobs want!
So pleased for you.
Anyone senior managers who had knowledge of the Post Office Horizon defects and allowed innocent Postmasters to be prosecuted should be jailed for a substantial term.

So why is what the Jewish boy said, different from what Bob Vylan said? Except I don’t think what the Jewish boy said was broadcast by the BBC.
Pure evil in the Vatican….
‘Jesus would identify with illegal immigrants and asylum seekers’, Pope Leo claims
During his inaugural Christmas Day sermon to a crowd of 26,000 at St Peter’s Square, Pope Leo declared that Jesus would stand alongside migrants attempting to reach the United States and those making perilous journeys across the Mediterranean Sea.
https://www.gbnews.com/news/world/pope-leo-christmas-message-jesus-illegal-immigrants
Where does it say in the bible: blessed are the nail-bombers?
Must be a new modern day 11th Commandment then .
Thou shall`t abandon the family and consort with criminal gangs to defraud the ordinary Joe .
Hold on , Jesus would stand alongside them ?
And what , egg them on , pay the smugglers , ditch their passports etc ?
Then lie to officials ?
Is Jesus now a immigration human rights lawyer ?
Perhaps he should come to the UK, and make a few loaves and a box of fish stretch to feeding the 100,000 illegals here then. He would please a lot of tax payers.
Got to admit the sheer naivity of that view trumps any compassion . He should look at what britsinistan is suffering as it is invaded from war torn France and facilitated by Marxists who would end Christianity …
Pope Leo. Tear down those walls.
Not much peace on earth then?
Good life insurance ….?
US judge blocks detention of British social media campaigner
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c33mx6j5jrvo
‘In court documents seen by the BBC, US District Judge Vernon S Broderick said on Thursday he had granted Mr Ahmed’s request for a temporary restraining order.’
That would be DEMOCRAT judge there BBC. Appointed by Obama. You would have surely told us if he was a conservative judge overriding something Joe Biden did.
This is just one of the many ideology-driven double standards we see all the time from the shameless BBC.
This pattern of the duly elected government making policy rules entirely consistent with their election pledges then Democrats getting Democrat judges to override them just to sabotage the government is just ridiculous. It is nothing less than treason.
Hello to all
I’ve lived in turmoil for quite some time. It’s difficult to describe and talk about but when someone dear is affected with the cruel problems of old age that mess up their memory and health it’s really difficult to cope with. It leaves a feeling of guilt, loneliness and emptiness.
I now find myself living alone and have been without Internet broadband and phone for a while – I’ve fond that normal everyday life simply can’t exist today without the internet.
Now connected again I’m desperately trying step by step to get my head ‘screwed back on’i
I’m now able to access this site again which helped to keep me sane for a long time, and I sincerely thank you all for….. I look forward to catching up with comments, moans and gripes and humerous quips from all you far right commentators.
Here’s wishing Health and Happiness and a Wonderful Xmas to Everyone
NW
It’s good to have you back . I fully identify with your first paragraph – going through the caring process – stress – exhaustion – guilt – helplessness – changes a person – it sure did me .
It made me realise that the British State – the NHS – really didn’t care for the people who paid for it for years and drove me to the political views I have now – most of which would be described as ‘unapproved ‘ at best ..
Anyway – Nw -good to have you back – we ve gone through the shortest day of the year – so brighter times coming ….
Thank you Fedup2
I’ve come to the conclusion that the NHS doesn’t exist anymore!
Now, I have to slow down ….. one step at a time.
Good to be back
Welcome back, and so sorry for your loss. Its a tragic mess when the elderly are caring for the elderly, it is exhausting and life draining. May you find contentment now.
Thank you Brissles
I look forward again to reading your posts. Merry Christmas
NW
Completely with you on this one:
https://dailysceptic.org/2025/12/26/we-are-all-slowly-being-driven-mad/
Maybe we have to go back to two tin cans and a bit of string to keep in touch with each other.
Hi atlas
Had to laugh at your ‘dailysceptic’ article – I have found this a big problem. I can find my way on a computer or laptop which over the years you have been able to simply update. But starting from scratch I have encountered problems with everything. I don’t know if it’s just an ‘age thing’ or if as the article heading states ‘We Are All Slowly Being Driven Mad’. Returning to the two tin cans at the ends of a bit of string weirdly sounds quite appealing. I’m sure today’s youngsters will soon have mobile phones implants installed shortly. You are unable to do anything without an up to date mobile e.g. receiving a text code to access online banking sites
Thankfully I have managed to find a few good people who have really taken their time to help and explain things for me. I have been extremely grateful for their help as I honestly wouldn’t have managed without it.
The royals get a jolly good write-up in the left-leaning Guardian and Mirror, which is nice.
Some say Tory governments fret over what the Guardian or the BBC’s Today Programme will say about them, whilst Labour agonise over Daily Mail editorials. This apparently has guided our uniparty politics over the past couple of decades.
I think that may now be outdated thinking. But more about that later.
Let them eat woke
The Jacobin Guardian – extraordinarily as it may seem – likes our “Sun King” – presenting us a frontpage feature photo of: One’s in the sun… The king used his Christmas message to call for compassion and healing
Just to give you a flavour of where the highly feminised therapeutic state Graun is coming from these days – and how come it admires this form of Diana-esque sentiment coming from Chas – the lead story this morning frets about: Guardian research suggested that fewer than one in 60 public sector workers are sharing leave with their partners when they have a baby
I’m sorry to have to remind the Guardianistas that for the average family having a baby ain’t like having a roof extention.
I’m oddly put in mind of that daft Carry On movie in which Charles Hawtrey’s character Mr. Barron suffers from a phantom pregnancy. (Carry On Doctor [1967])
Meanwhile, Bernard Bresslaw, was disguised as a pregnant woman in Carry On Matron [1972] as part of a criminal plot.
Ten years after the introduction of shared parental leave in the UK, the policy’s architects said it had failed to deliver on its promise of “cultural change” (Guardian)
Ten years ago… that’ll be the Dave Cameron/Nick Clegg combo – there’s one for the teenagers.
Jo Swinson, the former Liberal Democrats leader who introduced the 2015 policy… when she was minister for employment relations, said low take-up of SPL in public bodies was “disappointing” and blamed successive Tory governments (Guardian) – a couple of things going on there – Firstly, there’s the Punch and Judy show pretence of political (or more precisely Cultural) difference between parties. Then there’s the fine example of a Tory adminsitration (in this case the dripping wet Coaltion) passing the lefty-inspired laws – leaving it to a future full-on socialist government to take the opportunity to actually push it on us – and you just see if this current Starmer-led lot don’t try after this present Guardian prompt. But we digress.
The in-the-tank for Labour Mirror admires Charles for his: King’s message to nation… My faith in our future… “As I meet people of different faiths…” – I think we can discern the sub plot implied there.
Ironically, the ever-excitable Daily Mail ain’t singing Kumbaya, My Lord; it’s not saying forgive and forget – rather it’s sowing dissension within a community – the royal community: Andrew’s girls opt for ‘The Firm’ over mum and dad
Charles got a good write-up from our BBC: King’s Christmas message urges unity in divided world – and it’s: Christmas message urges communities to pull together… – communities, plural.
This is the old Commonwealth, Empire ideal. Charles is not an English and hardly a British king.
Asiseeit
I think I’d get more enjoyment from going to the lavatory than listening to that emir for 15 minutes ….. the caliphate must have thanked its’ lucky stars when they infiltrated his circle and signed him up … those suitcases full of £3 million cash must have helped – but for him it’s just ‘expenses ‘ …
So far I’ve missed Christmas due to the flu but managed to get to Christmas mass yesterday – 12 hour bed rest has been useful .
Of course this is the time when the predictions for 2026 start turning up …. Here’s some early bets –
1 ‘reform has peaked ‘ …
2 uncancelled may elections better than TTK expected
3 ‘President Trump has peaked ‘
4 the blob will look for another attack line to diminish Reform
5 taxes up as borrowing spirals ( easy one – that )
6 more benefits ( easy one – that)
7 TTK spends even more time away ( hope )
BTW – I wonder which blob leader will be pictured in a trench in Ukraine for their New Year pictures …
US launches deadly strikes against Islamic State in Nigeria, says Trump… The US defence department posted a short video that appears to show a missile being launched from a military vessel (Jaroslav Lukiv, BBC) – why so much element of doubt?
Do our BBC consider this ‘fake news’ ?
Better get BBC Verify’s ace reporter Marianna Spring (Disinformation Correspondent) back into the office tout suite.
Kevin Holinrake? Is apparently – the chairman of the dead blue party . Every so often his Farage Derangement Syndrome pops up when he hasn’t taken his medication . Recently he compared Reform to Nazis . Now he reckons some reform members have ‘Far Right ‘ views . As usual ‘Far right ‘ isn’t defined ….
Perhaps the blues are clutching onto a glimmer of hope as their coloured front girl is getting to finally use the English language to take on TTK – who shouid be the easiest target of any decent politician …. Farage v TTK would be box office
Crewkerne currently as TTK as a darlek – I think that insults darleks …
I have missed that jimmy Dyson ‘guest editing ‘ the today propaganda show – I guess he hoovered up all sorts of new technology for cleaning up cat hair …
I think the BBC approves the likes of chummy Dyson as an ‘innovator ‘ and will ‘grow growth ‘ whilst presumably being a non UK tax payer …
Well at least he has not done the usual thing (yet) and sold out to an American conglomerate or private equity.
The propensity of UK companies to grow businesses but only up to a point and then sell them and trouser the cash is one of the non-useless-government reasons the country shows little or no growth over decades.
On a related topic, you’ll notice (but then again maybe you haven’t) Smiths plc is keen to consign itself to oblivion as it gradually sells all its divisions, leaving what’s left ripe for takeover. It would have completed this exercise years ago but for an asbestos litigation hangover. Why is it that a US private equity company can apparently run an Airport Scanner and Detection business better than the UK engineering company that has owned it for years is absolutely unclear to me.
And anyone remember ICI?
I find that I’m saddened by the changes in the traditional British Christmas Spirit that have been eroded by the influx of foreign influences, religious intolerance, undoubted danger, differing intentions and the unpleasant, passive acceptance by this awful government, which is piling on the ordure amassed by the previous lot.
While communities – British that is – do of course move on, with new innovation, better communication etc., not much of this is doing a lot for the archetypal Indigenous British Citizen, who has grown up since the second world war, experienced the sadness and loss of our fighting people, got over the inequalities and hardships, and started re-building a wounded country with hard graft, not much recompense, but a loyalty to our way of life.
The headlines all seem to centre around the hatred other races have for us here, with one exception being the Jewish Nation in our midst, which exists quietly, fits in with the culture etc, while the opposite is being experienced with these murderous foreigners who are intent on using extremist force to create their fanatical state of fear and control on this country. Of course, there are other peace-loving people who have arrived over time, and contribute hugely to our society, and they’re welcome.
This year though, I really did fear a bloodbath centred on the foul beliefs of these hordes with their intolerance and radical loathing, because there are so many of them here now. I still shudder at the terror of Manchester, Stockport and Bondi Beach, and now imagine a real threat coming to us here, mostly with the blessing of our distasteful marxist administration.
Christmas used to be a celebration worth valuing, enjoying, and the days leading up to the great event, with a few add-ons afterwards of course, were a signal way for British Citizens to display their traditional Christian goodwill to everyone close by and perhaps beyond, but that spirit is evaporating fast, as alien religions and creeds are pushing their way in front of everyone here.
The BBC should be concentrating it’s delivery on the British way of life, and not pander to the ‘god’ of ‘diversity’ and foreign interference and they should cease their distaste for the Indigenous British values which used to countenance our hugely celebratory season of goodwill. The bloated state broadcasting organisation paid for increasingly unwillingly, certainly hasn’t done that this year, presumably with the blessing of this awful administration, and other useless but sadly influential politicians in senior positions in our country.
“Two men still missing after Christmas swim as coastguard calls off search”
One in his 40s the other his 60s…
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c4g41v0dekgo
So what kind of simpleton goes swimming in December?
‘ BBC journalist Phillip Stoneman has been a visitor to Budleigh for the swim for the past few years.
He said: “As soon as we arrived you could tell that the sea was the roughest it’s been and that anyone going in would need to be a lot more cautious than usual.” ‘
I was eating a bowl of muesli this morning and almost got dragged under by a strong currant.
We’ve had some very touching and poignant posts already here today. I’m afraid that mine is extremely trivial by comparison, but here goes…
The BBC have a long history of showing “A Ghost Story For Christmas”. I remember some real crackers from when I was a lad, with Michael Hordern in the brilliant MR James yarn, Oh, Whistle, and I’ll come to you, my lad. Brilliantly done.
Anyway, on Christmas Eve I settled down with a nice glass of port and some “munchies” and watched their latest production in this genre; EF Benson’s, The Room in the Tower. And I have to say they made a really good job of it too.
However, I did notice one curious thing. The narrator of this weird tale has a particular friend, Jack, and we see this chap, first as a young lad, then as an adolescent, a twenty something and so on. But the thing is, he started off as a white boy, but somehow, during his later teenage years, metamorphosised into an Asian.
It’s a peculiar thing I’ve noticed with the BBC, white people changing race. Ann Boleyn became black. David Copperfield was played by an Indian, but now characters are changing race half way through a production. I’ve never known this happen in real life…
Anyone?
I’m afraid that some decent botanical beverage sometimes does that, Jeff!
Under my new heated throw, so generously gifted by a daughter, somehow the small glass of Calvados had a similar effect! (Liar, Scrobs, you had nearly a tumbler-full – Ed).
I was watching a comfortable, cosy, Christmassy-child-friendly film, ‘London has fallen’,* and missed the important bits around 55 mins in! I had to rewind several minutes, (Liar Scrobs, it was nearly the whole bloody lot – Ed).
I blame the ‘munchies’ – they’re evil, and some are now sponsored by Starmer, so I never touch ’em…
* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London_Has_Fallen
I have noticed the frequency of people of non discernible race appearing in adverts or very old BBC/ITV programmes. I may first notice they have white skin but very black hair before something in the character’s conversation or name makes you realise they are not supposed to be white British. Whilst it happens now and again, I am thinking of the police sidekick to Humphrey when Death in Paradise moved to the UK.
Nothing to do with the colour of anybody but it lost its light hearted touch and just wasn’t very good. I presume there are no new series?
Remarkable that the BBC searches the world for Muslims being persecuted in some way and makes a huge song and dance about it….on the other hand when it’s Christians or Whites the BBC does its best to downplay and dismiss any concerns….Christians being targeted in Nigeria and the BBC tells us it’s just a dispute about land and anyway more Muslims get killed than Christians…thus it’s OK that Christians are being erased?
Today’s BBC headline…
‘Are Christians being persecuted in Nigeria as Trump claims?’
Says it all really…the same BBC that takes Hamas lies about casualties at face value and pumps them out as propaganda for the terrorists..hence we end up with Bondi and the extraordinary headline in the Spectator….
‘How to stop the next massacre of British Jews’
What the hell?! How on earth have we come to this where Jews [and others] are being targeted by Muslims in Britain today? How is it that the BBC doesn’t give a damn? How is it that politicians et al do not wake up and see what is happening in society…in civilisation……when the troops landed on D-Day to fight an oppressive and cruel ideology they surely didn’t think that they would be betrayed by the coming generations of cowards and fools in Parliament, the media, institutions and academia….but they have been.
We want our country back.
What The Fabians want for the UK?
The Welsh would elect anything with a red rosette pinned to it?
This is the stance of an anti-nationalist saboteur and should warrant legal action including potential expulsion from post plus possible expulsion this islands territory.
The Greens…..

Dr. Patrick Moore, co-founder of Greenpeace: “There is no definitive scientific proof… that carbon dioxide is responsible for any of the slight warming of the global climate that has occurred during the last 300 years.”
“But there is certainty beyond a reasonable doubt that CO₂ is the building block for all life on Earth, and that without its presence in the global atmosphere… this would be a dead planet.”
“Yet today, our children… are taught that CO₂ is a toxic pollutant that will destroy life and bring civilisation to its knees.”
The Donald’s Christmas Message. Has this been mentioned by the BBC?
Merry Christmas to all, including the Radical Left Scum that is doing everything possible to destroy our Country, but are failing badly.
We no longer have Open Borders, Men in Women’s Sports, Transgender for Everyone, or Weak Law Enforcement.
What we do have is a Record Stock Market and 401K’s, Lowest Crime numbers in decades, No Inflation, and yesterday, a 4.3 GDP, two points better than expected. Tariffs have given us Trillions of Dollars in Growth and Prosperity, and the strongest National Security we have ever had.
We are respected again, perhaps like never before. God Bless America!!!
