@blaiklockBP @andrew_rawling Meantime I am on holiday in Spain and a new railway is being built to connect Almeria to their high speed network. Which is now quite extensive, and impressive given it's built from scratch with a different gague from their existing track.

£14 billion has been spent on cancelled projects in just two years 2022-2024. HS2, Thames Barrier, Stonehenge, Heathrow runway, and many road schemes.

@JChimirie66677 @Fenbeagle The reasons why worships of all religions happen in public are pretty much the same. Not domination, but a way of saying that they aren't ashamed of their religion. Standing up for their beliefs, if you like. Are we tolerant of free expression or not?

Leftist-Islamist coalition closes in on Timothy Nick Timothy said that mass ritual prayer in a shared civic space is an act of domination. He was not suggesting every Muslim at Trafalgar Square is an Islamist. He was identifying a strategy. Within twenty four hours, thirty six Labour MPs and peers had written to the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards demanding he be investigated. The letter, signed by Afzal Khan MP and backed by Naz Shah, Apsana Begum, Imran Hussain, Rebecca Long-Bailey and Zarah Sultana among others, accuses Timothy of Islamophobia, invokes the Great Replacement theory, and demands his removal from the front bench. Read that list of names carefully. Naz Shah was suspended from Labour in 2016 for sharing antisemitic social media posts. Rebecca Long-Bailey was removed from the shadow cabinet for sharing an article containing antisemitic conspiracy theories. Afzal Khan was himself the subject of a Campaign Against Antisemitism complaint. And Zarah Sultana, who co-signed a letter accusing Timothy of spreading hostility and hatred, is herself the subject of a complaint to the same Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards for posting that Zionism is one of the greatest threats to humanity and that Israelis love killing kids. The complaint describes her language as a modern iteration of the medieval blood libel. The commissioner has not yet decided whether to investigate. That is the Leftist-Islamist coalition that has mobilised to silence Nick Timothy. A group of MPs, several with documented histories of antisemitic language or associations, using the parliamentary standards machinery to shut down a man who pointed out that declaring there is no god but Allah in the middle of Trafalgar Square is not equivalent to lighting a Chanukah menorah. The letter does not answer Timothy's theological point. It does not explain why the Adhan, which is by definition a declaration of exclusive religious truth, is equivalent to a celebration. It simply asserts that raising the question is Islamophobia and demands investigation. That is not a rebuttal. That is a demonstration of exactly what Timothy was describing. The domination of public discourse by a coalition that treats any scrutiny of Islamist strategy as racism, any observation about religious assertion in shared spaces as hatred, and any politician who names what is happening as a legitimate target for destruction. The grievance shield, deployed on cue. At parliamentary level. In a formal letter. With thirty six signatories. Meanwhile the teacher remains in hiding in Batley. The IHRC leads death chants on the Embankment. Iranian linked charities operate under Gift Aid while the Charity Commission files cases as resolved. And the parliamentary machinery is being used not to hold any of that to account but to investigate the man who said out loud what the evidence plainly shows. Nick Timothy was right. The letter proves it. And every MP who signed it has told us, more clearly than any opinion piece could, exactly whose side they are on. "Naz Shah was suspended from Labour in 2016 for sharing antisemitic social media posts. [...]. Afzal Khan was himself the subject of a Campaign Against Antisemitism complaint."

@CalltoActivism @BLACKPROUD4EVER I hope the USA warned about Hiroshima

🚨DISGRACE: Trump demanding to know from the Japanese PM - born two decades AFTER Pearl Harbor - why they didn’t warn the USA, to justify not warning allies about Iran, is dementia-idiocy and an insult to the 2,403 Americans died there. Trump is a sociopathic jerk with no class.

@meatfreemeals1 @mark_slapinski 🤣🤣🤣

@mark_slapinski While Trump is playing 2d snap

OH NO: China has STOPPED fertilizer shipments to the United States. Jinping is playing 4D chess!

@brawday Unfortunately some will. They hate Scotland.

ffs how could any Scot vote for this?

@DanielA84612544 @Cherry_Nosed @afneil Yup. Would love to see a breakdown.

@Cherry_Nosed @afneil Consultants

Just an everyday tale of infrastructure in the UK — how to spend £179m on not building a tunnel.

@afneil @AndrewBrazier1 Rishi Sunak "We're getting it done"

@BBCScotlandNews @DarrylWhitwort2 Last thing is they wanted to scrap ScotGov. Which is it?

Reform vows to cut Scottish income tax below UK rate bbc.in/4lE1DSg

@TheBottomDime @PishFingers @ScotNational You seem to be fascinated by me

@QuestionerMoney @PishFingers @ScotNational Stick to Wordle old man.

BREAKING: Reform UK have pledged to cut the size of the Scottish Parliament and regularly review its devolved powers if they win the Holyrood election The party's Scottish manifesto also says they would would 'repeal SNP bad laws' and introduce sweeping changes to the tax system

@01Leaford Had all kinds of functions

In the UK, we had bike sheds

@TheBottomDime @PishFingers @ScotNational So long as that's how England wants to be governed, that will continue. Our Scottish govt runs Scotland rather than a Westminster appointee.

@PishFingers @QuestionerMoney @ScotNational When did Scotland stop being invited to Westminster?

@alphafox @DBush1492 Some biology lessons would have been useful

What

@TheBottomDime @ScotNational Not so, because what Scotland is doing now is what the majority voted for.

@QuestionerMoney @ScotNational If Scotland knew what it does now they never would’ve.

@LeftieStats @edwardclarke @FindoutnowUK A lot of don't knows then

‼️POLL | Preferred Prime Minister: ➡️ Farage: 15% 🟢 Polanski: 12% 🔴 Starmer: 9% 🔵 Badenoch: 8% ⚫️ Lowe: 7% 🟠 Davey: 5% Poll: @FindoutnowUK, 18 March

@malik42174767 Absolutely anything other than zero.

Can you solve this?

@ko_fights__ Probably but she's only human. He might have been shot elsewhere.

Boy calls female officer a racial slur and spits on her, she slaps him while restrained. Did she go too far?

@JohnSime63 @ScotNational You get to vote for MSPs. In a fairer way than you do MPs.

@QuestionerMoney @ScotNational There’s fuck all democratic about scotland under the snp that’s for certain. Lies lies lies.😘

@TheBottomDime @ScotNational It was voted for with a massive majority.

@ScotNational Not good enough. Completely abolish it.

@JohnSime63 @ScotNational Because you hate democracy?

@ScotNational It’s welcome but it’s not enough…I’d shut Holyrood altogether
