🚨 People Power WORKS. 🏅

The EU’s radical “Chat Control” plan, which would’ve forced WhatsApp, Signal & Telegram to scan everyone’s private messages, is now DEAD.

They backed down after a massive public backlash.

And yes - CitizenGO was part of that fight. 💪🇬🇧
Make no mistake: this was the first step toward total surveillance the same agenda behind Digital ID and Online Safety laws that threaten your privacy right here in the UK.

Once they can scan your chats, they can control what you say.

Not anymore. 👊 #Privacy #Freedom
Countries like Poland 🇵🇱, Austria 🇦🇹, the Netherlands 🇳🇱 and Germany 🇩🇪 stood firm and Denmark finally dropped mandatory chat scanning.

But the EU’s already scheming to bring back a “softer” version later this year.

So we have to stay alert. 🧠

#EU #ChatControl
This proves something vital: Petitions work. Public pressure works.

Thousands of ordinary citizens said “NO” and Brussels listened.

CitizenGO supporters were right at the heart of that resistance. 💥

When we stand together, even the EU blinks. 🇬🇧✊
#CitizenGO #PeoplePower
Don’t think it can’t happen here.

The push for Digital ID and state-approved speech is already creeping into UK policy.

But we’ve shown the world: when citizens fight back - we win.

I am in Parliament Square. Literally one protestor is being arrested every single minute. I've seen like 30 arrests in half an hour, just watching.

The atmosphere is febrile.
Almost all of those being arrested are white middle class activists like this. Image

🚨 Spain just became the first EU country to ban public Islamic festivals.
The town of Jumilla said NO to cultural replacement.

The backlash? Massive. Here’s what the media won’t tell you: 🧵👇
Jumilla sits in Murcia - Spain’s agricultural south.
In many areas, Muslims are now the majority. Entire towns speak Arabic, not Spanish.

Locals say: this isn’t diversity, I t’s displacement.
One local said:
“Our festivals are gone. We don’t hear Spanish in the streets anymore.”

For many, this isn’t about religion. It’s about recognisability. Cultural cohesion.
Belonging.

Tommy Robinson @TRobinsonNewEra was arrested for this post.
A London school where none of the kids speak English as a first language.
No slurs. No threats. Just a fact.
That’s now a crime in the UK.
👇Image

And this.
Crude? Yes.
Illegal? No.
No threats. No incitement. Just raw anger about the state of the country.

Last night, Tommy was detained by the Met for those social media posts.
Not terrorism.
Not harassment.

🚨🧵The new RSHE guidance is out. It sounds like a win for parents. But read it closely and it’s a gift to activist teachers. Here’s what’s really going on:Image
1.The first principle is “engagement with pupils.” That sounds nice, but sex education should be adult-led. This isn’t a subject where kids should set the tone.
2.Age limits that protected younger children from inappropriate content are gone. There’s now more freedom for schools to decide what’s “age-appropriate.” 👀

🧵 A convicted paedophile founded a Pride group.
He used it to access children, raped a 12-year-old, and was protected by institutions too cowardly to act.
He’s now in prison.
But the group he built?
Still running. Still funded. Still planning “family-friendly” events.
Let’s break this down.👇
1. Meet Stephen Ireland.
Founder of Pride in Surrey.
Appointed himself safeguarding officer.
Ran a youth helpline and spoke in schools.
Publicly praised by councillors and Surrey Police.
Meanwhile, he was grooming a 12-year-old boy through Grindr, supplying him with meth, and sexually abusing him.Image
2. This wasn’t hidden. It was ignored.
🔹 In 2021, a Surrey councillor raised safeguarding concerns.
🔹 Whistleblowers were dismissed as bigots.
🔹 The group continued receiving public money and support.
Ireland used Pride’s untouchable status as a smokescreen for predation.

🧵 All our political parties are copping out — and you should be angry.

This Friday, MPs vote on legalising assisted suicide.
It could reshape Britain in ways we’ll never fully undo.

And not one major party has had the courage to take a stand.👇
2/
This isn’t just another issue.
It’s not tax.
It’s not immigration.

This is about life and death.
About whether Britain becomes a country that helps its citizens to die — quietly, bureaucratically, and legally.
3/
They tell you it’s about rare edge cases.
But it’s not.

It’s about how we die.
And every one of us will.

This vote affects the disabled. The elderly. The depressed.
Our parents. Our children. Our future selves.
