@chrislepkowski @neilashton_ Thanks Chris. All OK. Very important to get rapid diagnosis and treatment (steroids).

@ldsmith25 @neilashton_ Sorry to read this Len. Hope she is well now

1/ In July 2015, my world fell apart. I was diagnosed with Bell’s palsy. Alone, far from friends and family, I faced a condition I’d never even heard of — terrified my face might never recover. It was one of the scariest periods of my life.

I am very happy to engage with you on the substance. We have never discussed your views on Islam. But you made them clear when introducing your ten minute rule bill in the Commons very recently, as you were perfectly entitled to do. I agree that mass prayer in public by large groups without prior permission, that aims to disrupt the activities of others, can be an act of 'domination' just as a sit down on Westminster Bridge or the M25 can be or any other illegal demonstration or one accompanied by threats or harassment. This did not apply to this gathering in Trafalgar Square. It was done with permission. It comprised short prayers followed by an Iftar to break the Ramadan fast. It threatened no one any more than the Palm Sunday procession ( with permission) in which I shall participate shortly where I live and where there will be hymns to the effect that Jesus Christ is Lord. Your original post says that this event 'should not happen again'. You are the Shadow Justice Secretary, perhaps one day the person who will take an oath to uphold the rule of law. As I put to you in my last post, stopping such an event would be unlawful and discriminatory unless you intend to advocate changing the law to discriminate against Muslims. Is that what you are saying? So far you have not attempted to answer this question. Lots of replies to your original post highlight that freedom of religious expression does not exist in many countries and that some of these countries have Muslim majorities and persecute minority faiths. We will, I am sure, have a shared revulsion at this. But this is surely all the more reason why we should stand up for the values of freedom under law which our forefathers have given to us. Finally you suggest that my 'world'' is falling apart'. I am not sure what world vision you are referring to. As a long standing Conservative I am a pragmatic realist about the world and its shortcomings as I might expect you to be too. I also believe that in times when there are challenges to the values of freedom and democratic pluralism there is a need for all people of goodwill to be voices of assertive moderation. Your original post comes across as entirely contrary to this and as a call to confrontation on no valid basis.

@Alisha26221 The plane is stationary on the ground?

Almost no one gets this right Try if you can 🤔

@chrislepkowski @neilashton_ Chris, My Mrs had it a few months back. She was seen in A and E quickly, got the right treatment and had recovered fully within about a month. But it was really scary at first.

@neilashton_ Incredible story. I recall Ayrton Senna also had this. Power to you Neil and best wishes

So let me get this straight. FIFA is threatening to penalize Iran for not coming to the world cup in the United States, which just bombed the hell out of them and this is the same FIFA that gave the president of the country that bombed them a peace prize.

Can you solve this in 5 seconds What word isn’t spelled right? ?

When this latest conflict in the Middle East is over, historians will look back at the UK and ponder over several things. They’ll wonder why, in the first week of the war, the UK media, almost overwhelmingly, spent it attacking the Prime Minister. And why our patriotism was hijacked by the right-wing media to lambast our own government. How every channel was able to find ‘experts’ and historians to make fools of themselves and display extremely anti-British behaviour. And they wonder why the leader of His Majesty’s Opposition spent days of her life working against the country. Oh, and lastly, why the leader of a tiny minority party was in the USA, engaged in treason and traitorous behaviour with a foreign despot, to undermine our government. We're in such a messed up time, a branch of reality fabricated by the far-right and their pet media outlets. Whether you like Starmer or not, this is not the time to go after him. All that's unfolding is a crooked legacy being built around those who'd prefer to sell their souls and work against the country in a time of war. ✌️🖖

I never tire of listening to a literal beneficiary of multiculturalism, her parents being people of Indian heritage who came to Britain from Mauritius and Kenya, complaining about said multiculturalism. She is an utter abomination.
