It's because of the Poppy Outrage brigade, and it being hijacked that I refuse to wear one.

I make an annual donation to the Royal British Legion.
My grandfather served in the Second World War.
An uncle I was close to was not only a Falklands veteran. But he volunteered and raised money for the Legion in the final years of his life.

Frankly though I've often reconsidered that donation. As I'm disgusted that the Legion hasn't stepped in and crushed the political hijacking of the poppy.

Poppy outrage season is once again upon us.

The Daily Mail ran a story, which was picked up by both The Sun and BBC, claiming that Wetherspoons in Gosport banned veterans and a Reform councillor from coming in for wearing a poppy.

Turns out the story is bullshit. The reason they were refused entry, was because they had been out campaigning with Ryan Bridge for Raise The Colours.

Part of my job involves me going to Spoons every week (not my choice), and they literally sell poppies in there.

And he thinks the courts were too harsh on someone who literally detonated a bomb on a residential street, because he didn't like the fact there was a ULEZ camera present.

A bus missed the blast by mere seconds. Shrapnel went flying 100m and miraculously didn't seriously injure or kill someone.

Oh, and the terrorist in question had illegal stun guns. Which he was jailed for as well.

This is sadly needed and long overdue. Although of course it's got the usual pushback from the usual suspects. Mostly online Reform supporters, who frankly based on some of their comments need their hard drives checked.

He interfered with a rescue operation and endangered the life of a rescue worker.

He then mobilised thugs to clash with police at Gosport and stop the RNLI there.

If he and his goons are not prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, then the government is basically telling them that they can do whatever they want.

Andy Burnham is reportedly considering sanctioning the Israeli occupied territories. In other words, just the territories in Gaza and the West Bank where Israeli "settlers" have forced Palestinians out of their homes by means of intimidation and violence.

This isn't anywhere near enough. Any sanctions need to be against the entire state of Israel. As it's the IDF who carry out the removal and murder of Palestinians in those territories. The state is complicit, and should be accountable.

Harold Wilson's first stint as PM, after his win in 1964 until 1970.
It was his second stint after 1974 where he stepped aside for Jim Callaghan in 1976.

Obviously that's a huge breach of ethical standards that Parliament sets out.

Essentially Farage has been allowed to hijack the narrative to the point where the Tories are now trying to ape his claim that white people are now under threat.

Kemi Badenoch even suggested that this case was comparable to Stephen Lawrence. Which has to be the most ridiculous comparison I've ever heard.

Farage instead said that people shouldn't use Sarah Everard's murder to attack men or the police. And openly attacked those who spoke out about the culture of violence against women and the police engaging in victim blaming.

Including where he smeared Baroness Jones as a misandrist, when she called this victim blaming out by suggesting that men be subject to the same 6pm curfews that the Metropolitan Police were advising for women, and told to not go out for their own safety.

Farage has also some hypocrisy when it comes to whether to trust the police. When Sarah Everard was abducted and murdered by PC Wayne Couzens, he didn't make statements about how the police were a danger to women, or called for a response of "pure, cold rage". Nor did he claim as he did following Southport that the police were not giving people the full information.

Which was the case, as Couzens was subject of multiple complaints of sexual misconduct and referred to openly as "the rapist".

The failure of James O'Brien to specifically name Nick Ferrari in his takedown of the lies that were spread on his show, as well as his expressing of disappointment in "people who should know better", adds to the belief of many that Ferrari somehow has it in his contract that he cannot be challenged at LBC.

So while not being named, at the very least it's a welcome change from his old line of "Well Nick's a mate, and he's not here to defend himself", whenever Ferrari's racism was brought up.

James O'Brien may have come the closest I've ever heard this morning, to calling out Nick Ferrari.
Although unlike when he's taken to task the racist lies of Nigel Farage and Katie Hopkins when they were also broadcasting on LBC, he didn't mention him by name.

What he did do however, was tear apart Ferrari's entire narrative about how Hampshire and Isle Of Wight's race action plan was somehow to blame, and where he lied about the context of it.

I'll attach that clip when it's available.
