#Britain

European bond markets are now approaching meltdown territory. Britain is the most vulnerable. France and Italy are next - at least in terms of major countries. 🇪🇺☢️📉 #Eurozone #BondMarket #FinancialCrisis #GB #FR #IT

"Britain has used its major air base on #Cyprus [#Akrotiri] to move sensitive equipment without scrutiny, declassified files show". I recommend @markcurtis30 and @pmillerinfo's article on #Akrotiri: https://t.co/3yyHQuOwpE #Cyprus #Akrotiri #UKMilitary #GB #CY

Watch Britain. It is the second largest foreign holder of US government debt and it is teetering on the edge of bankruptcy. It will blow soon. 🇬🇧 #Britain #USDebt #Bankruptcy #GB

Multiculturalism or Liberalism… You Can’t Have Both Canada’s Combating Hate Act received royal assent on June 18 and became law in July, defining hatred as an intense and extreme emotion and extending emotion’s reach into government and criminal law. Supporters cite a 169% rise in reported hate crimes from 2018 to 2024, but the increase reflects predictable outcomes when groups with deep historical, cultural, and religious conflicts are placed together in large numbers while assuming differences will fade. “Diversity is our strength” can’t replace shared culture: cooperation at scale requires shared values and norms. Import enough difference quickly while demanding universal tolerance, and social order begins to fracture, leaving strangers who share a passport but little else—so the state steps in to do what culture once did. Multiculturalism can drift toward authoritarianism: the state expands to manage conflicts, neutrality becomes impossible without common standards, and unequal treatment follows. Britain illustrates the danger, with thousands of arrests in 2023 under communications laws for alleged offensive messages and long sentences for single posts. Meanwhile, authorities have shown hesitation toward major crimes involving protected communities, often citing fears of racism and community harm—creating a double standard. Canada also has examples, such as the Gladue principles, which require sentencing judges to consider the circumstances of Indigenous offenders, letting group identity influence state treatment. The multicultural liberal state was sold as open, tolerant, and equal—but if groups won’t “melt,” or fundamentally oppose one another, the result is increasingly unequal laws, more surveillance, and less liberty. Multiculturalism and liberalism are incompatible: without shared cultural standards, a society will be governed from above through laws, courts, and coercion.

🚨 101 YEARS SINCE THE SECRET IRA–SOVIET PACT 🚨 In June 1925, IRA representatives travelled to Moscow seeking Soviet money and weapons.

Russia withdrew its ambassador to pressure Britain over Ukraine. Britain’s reply came in Kyiv: declassify SCALP, build the missiles in Ukraine. Intimidation is a test. Passing it looks exactly like this. Congrats UK #Russia #Ukraine #UKDefense #RU #GB #UA

I ACCUSE SOVIET RUSSIA — SUEZ 1956 On 26 July 1956, Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser nationalized the Suez Canal Company.

Bibi Netanyahu: "You might call Britain the 'Islamic Republic of Britain'. Someone said that the first Islamic republic with nuclear weapons will be the Islamic Republic of Britain.
