BOATWATCH #7

While the overall number of arrivals for 2025 is at an all time record high at this stage, there was a significant decrease in arrivals last week.

Total = 262 (down 1,050 from previous week)

COUNCIL BY-ELECTIONS 24.04.25

The four by-elections held on Thursday were the last to be held before next week's watered down local elections in England.  Barely ten per cent of England's council seats will be up for grabs next Thursday, with nine councils having their scheduled elections postponed.  However, there will be six regional mayors elected, plus the hotly anticipated Westminster by-election for Runcorn and Helsby.

Three of the four vacancies on Thursday were held by incumbents, while Reform won a seat at the first time of asking in West Sussex.

ONE STRUGGLE, ONE FIGHT?

A viral video from last weekend's trans marches was the inspiration for our latest YouTube video in which Richey explores the absurdity of Alphabet People beating the drum for Palestine...

TOON TUESDAY #54

By 2021 we had come a long way from the pair of suckers who had initially swallowed the coronavirus bullshit.  We were now opposed to every single draconian measure being inflicted upon our timid nation.  In keeping with our tenth anniversary celebrations, this week we are re-publishing our 'End the Lockdown' series from 2021, which incorporated cartoons of the day.

Cartoon by Bob Moran.  Arguably one of the finest political cartoonists of all
time, Bob was fired by The Telegraph later in 2021 after he became increasingly
critical of Covid restrictions, particularly around the so-called 'vaccines'

MEME MONDAY #32

Karl is currently taking some time out from meme-making following last week's disappointing fund-raising effort.  In the meantime, we will explore some themes that we failed to squeeze into our tenth anniversary album.  These are are memes that span our ten years.

We will call this collection "The Workers"

BOATWATCH #6

A new record has been set for 2025, with 705 invaders landing last Tuesday.  This came just three days after 656 invaders landed, which presented the previous record for new arrivals this year.  Official arrivals are currently 42 per cent up on the same period last year.

Starmer's government is currently trying to negotiate a returns treaty with France, but it is smoke and mirrors.  For every illegal returned to France, they would send a migrant family member our way, effectively allowing those granted asylum to build a family and hasten our demise.

Total 1,312 (up 44 from previous week)

HAPPY EASTER

A bit late in the day, but here is an Easter message recorded by Richey and edited by Karl this afternoon.

COUNCIL BY-ELECTIONS 17.04.25

Just two seats were available on Thursday and it was two gains for the Lib Dems.  The introduction of a Reform candidate in Horsham appeared to hit the Tories (probably cost Labour a few votes, also), helping the Lib Dems to victory there.  In Torridge the Lib Dems came from nowhere to take a previously independent seat.

Colgate & Rusper, Horsham

Con: 406 (27.2%) -15.8%

Grn: 375 (25.1%) +12.6%

GAB NO MORE!

The UK government's war on free speech and privacy has picked up pace now Labour are implementing the globalist agenda.  Starmer's government is currently embroiled in a legal battle with tech giant Apple, over access to user's data, including personal communications.  This information is intentionally encrypted by Apple to protect user's privacy, but the state expects to monitor and presumably police it like a totalitarian regime.  Ironically, the government wanted to protect its own privacy by demanding that these legal proceedings be conducted in secrecy, a request thankfully denied by the judge.

If the government gets away with this, they will surely take on every other tech firm that offers end to end encryption services to its users, such as WhatsApp.

State intrusion and censorship was highlighted again this week with free speech social media platform Gab pulling out of the UK altogether.  Gab is a platform we have used in the past, particularly in light of censorship conducted by much larger platforms such as Facebook and what was then known as Twitter.  Earlier this week Gab decided that rather than have the British government decide what users posted or were allowed to see, it would simply pull the plug.

Now, UK users attempting to access Gab are greeted by the following page.

Gab CEO Andrew Torba released a separate statement on X last month:

"The UK Government has demanded that Gab submit to their new censorship regime under the UK Online Safety Act, threatening massive fines (18 million euros or 10% of our annual revenue) for not policing speech.  We will not comply.  We will not pay one cent.  We will defend our UK users' right to speak freely and reject any law that compels censorship."

Any UK Gab users who want to maintain access to the site should perhaps think about using a VPN.  In fact VPNs are generally a vital tool in the fight for internet freedom.

Regarding the Online Safety Act, we should note that this dystopian law was initiated by the other side of the Uniparty.  The narrative for the implementation of this unjust legislation was driven by the murder of Tory MP David Amess in 2021, despite the fact he was murdered by a fanatic motivated by Islam - not online 'disinformation'.  The way in which the Amess murder was exploited to suppress totally unrelated online speech was cynical and should alarm anyone who is awake to the similar agenda currently being pushed surrounding a Netflix drama called Adolescence.

Keir Starmer has referred to said show as a 'documentary' that should be shown in schools.  We would suggest 1984 as a much more appropriate and educational tool at this point in time.

TOON TUESDAY #53

After spending an entire day trawling through thousands of memes for our tenth anniversary, this week we are featuring some classic cartoons we've shared and/or tweaked over the last ten years.  Most of the artists we cannot credit, as these images have been sitting on Karl's laptop for a long time.  Feel free to leave a comment if you can name any.

MEME MONDAY #31

A good variety of memes from Karl last week, with mixed results.  We are slowly coming to the conclusion that doubling down on our core beliefs must override whatever establishment narratives still proliferate among those who follow us.  We are aware that this creates animosity and fiery engagements, but in order to attract the awakened few we must dispense with the masses who steadfastly refuse to think for themselves...
