Rosary beads? Copies of the Bible? An icthus? A crosier?
I believe the icthus is now better known as the "fish of bad driving"
Well, it's certainly made me say His name a few times on the roads...

Some of you may recall a Neo-Nazi called Joshua Bonehill-Paine who was active 10-15 years ago...well he's served his sentence and has a new tactic.

That's good. I was wondering what he's up to now.

Meanwhile, Stephen Yaxley-Lennon has apparently been informed that ISIS are after him and has set up a fund to help get his family out of the country to safety. That's the Stephen Yaxley-Lennon who is divorced and lives in Spain.

Rupert Lowe has launched a new party; Restore Britain.
Unusual to have a right-wing party led by someone without a forrin-sounding name...
With Susan Hall involved? There's a surprise.
From the article:
He initially set up Restore Britain as a "political movement" after he was suspended from Reform UK last March.
It is now expected to act as an umbrella political party, with locally based political parties as partners.
[...]
Lowe, a businessman and farmer who used to be chairman of Southampton FC, is expected to stand again for the Great Yarmouth constituency with local party Great Yarmouth First, which will be a partner of Restore Britain.
Senior Conservative figures Susan Hall and Sir Gavin Williamson had been involved in an advisory board for Restore Britain when it was described as a political movement.
Former minister Sir Gavin suggested to the Press Association he would end his involvement with Restore Britain as a result of it becoming a political party.
Hall, the Tory leader in the London Assembly, is also understood to be leaving Restore Britain's board.

Lowe is a German name.
I stand corrected

And X has now already turned into an anti-Reform, pro-Restore cesspit.

Rupert Lowe makes a big thing about donating his parliamentary salary to charity but when I looked at his declaration of earning he appears to trouser between £2000 and £4000 per week doing consultancy work and he also makes over £40,000 a year from his social media accounts. So he is probably making around £2m a year from outside earnings but he wouldn't be earning most of this money if he wasn't an MP.
