FYI a nuclear suicide vest isn’t feasible due to basic physics. Nuclear explosions require critical mass, which means slamming the particles together. It needs space, so containers are large & heavy. This isn’t limited by tech. It’s limited by physics and reality.

@g_gosden Now there’s a surprise!! 😂

Everything Johnson touches turned to dust.

@Zero_9873 While not perfect (who is), he did fine in office and compared to the other mad politicians around UK and Europe, guided the country to a very reasonable spot today. So leave him be. For all the goods and ills.

Leo Varadkar, the former Prime Minister of Ireland, slunk out of office under a veil of murky, unexplained circumstances.. and make no mistake, he was an unmitigated disaster, quite possibly the single worst affliction ever inflicted upon the Irish nation. A poster boy for smug, sanctimonious woke ideology, he spent his time in power relentlessly ramming through his rotten, self-serving corrupt agenda, leaving the country fractured, demoralised and diminished.

Without Margaret Thatcher this would have been the UK.

@TiceRichard Richard, they go back in the fall. Like your economics, your sums don’t add up. And this kind of stupidity is why we don’t need you or your party in government

PLEASE REMEMBER The clocks go forward an hour this Sunday, which means we will have one less hour of Labour ruining our country 💥

@Mumofone2009 @DamianLow3 @Jharrison22 Also, spent weeks in the US with Cristian Republican MAGA voters. They don’t do alcohol, don’t have sex before marriage (marry young), abhor abortion, pray daily or more often, help one another to build houses, and are focused on Church and Community. It’s a very pious place

@michael0c @DamianLow3 @Jharrison22 And how do you know that exactly? Evidence

Something new and uncomfortable is happening on parts of the British right. Religion is being rediscovered. Not as faith. As a political weapon. 1. Figures like Nigel Farage, Robert Jenrick and Tommy Robinson are increasingly framing politics in civilisational terms. Christianity vs. something else, Britain as a religious identity under threat. 2. But this isn’t a revival of faith. It’s a repurposing of it. Christianity is being used less as a belief system and more as a cultural marker. A way of drawing lines around identity. 3. That matters because it is, at its core, selective. The language of “Christian values” appears most often in opposition to immigration, to Islam, to social change. It is rarely accompanied by any serious engagement with the actual religion itself. 4. Genuine faith is inconvenient. It asks for consistency, humility, moral discipline. Political rhetoric is not. It is flexible, opportunistic and used when useful. 5. Which is why the current trend feels less like Reform have found God and more like hypocrisy. Religion is being used as shorthand for belonging, not as a guide to conduct. 6. There is also a clear political incentive. Framing issues in civilisational or religious terms raises the stakes instantly. It turns policy debates into existential struggles, where compromise looks like surrender. The irony is obvious. Many of the loudest voices invoking Christianity are not known for deep religious observance. The appeal isn’t theological. It’s tribal. 7. And that has consequences. Once politics is framed in these terms, it becomes harder to have serious discussions about policy such as migration, integration and housing because everything is recast as identity conflict. It also risks degrading religion itself. When faith becomes a political prop, it loses credibility as a moral force. Religion has always had a place in British public life. But there is a difference between faith shaping politics and politics exploiting faith. What we are seeing now looks much more like the latter.

@Mumofone2009 @DamianLow3 @Jharrison22 I see it on the TV both in their actions and in their words. Funnily enough

He really said this

@afneil Is it only now you are realising that? In 1960 the Royal Navy had 150 vessels. You do know it takes 5 years (+/-) to build a ship. Carriers took 8 years. Also, we haven’t sorted out the strategic reason for our Navy? Why do we need one??

The current state of the Royal Navy: 2 aircraft carriers — neither operational. 6 Type 45 destroyers (our most powerful warships) — one operational (in Cyprus). 7 Type 23 frigates (less powerful, much older) — three operational 5 Astute class nuke-powered subs — one operational (in Arabian Sea?). Surely those responsible for this appalling state of unreadiness (a national embarrassment if ever there was one)— political, civilian and military — should be fired/charged. Their incompetence has effectively left us without a navy. Quite an achievement for an ancient island nation.

@BeefyBaggie1965 @Breakerg @Zero_4 @BrexitBuster Thanks Simon. I’m sure however this rule has been waived a few times. That said, Farage is apparently so seldom in Clacton that people are starting to call him Mirage …

@michael0c @Breakerg @Zero_4 @BrexitBuster

Let’s be right, Tom Skinner isn’t on #bbcqt tonight due to his political insight but instead because he’s a vocal supporter of Reform If Reform have put him forward over any one of their 8 actual MPs, it’s a shocking indictment of the sheer lack of talent within their party

@Breakerg @Zero_4 @BrexitBuster Mind you, there’s a reason he’s called Nigel Mirage locally ……

@Breakerg @Zero_4 @BrexitBuster Can’t find a reference for that. Rumour or real???

@ShadrackoS2 @DamianLow3 @Jharrison22 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@michael0c @DamianLow3 @Jharrison22 Where does it say church yuh retard

@ShadrackoS2 @DamianLow3 @Jharrison22 (It says, so you can get a handle on your Christianity, “Remember that thou keep holy the Sabbath day”. The Yanks do that by praying, fasting and going to Church. Fair dues to them. What do you do?? Football and down the pub????)

@ShadrackoS2 @DamianLow3 @Jharrison22 So what does it say, genius? And how do you fulfil that obligation?? You just keep proving my point 😎🤣

@ShadrackoS2 @DamianLow3 @Jharrison22 Seriously?? What does the 4th commandment say?? You keep proving my point 😎🤣

@michael0c @DamianLow3 @Jharrison22 Vicar, church?

@ShadrackoS2 @DamianLow3 @Jharrison22 You are not serious?? Really?? You have just proved my point. What does the 4th Commandment say????

@michael0c @DamianLow3 @Jharrison22 Where in he Bible does it say you have to go and see the vicar on sunday?

@Mumofone2009 @DamianLow3 @Jharrison22 Ah now…. That’s very disingenuous. While I am not a fan of extreme piety, and I agree that you don’t have to go to church, at least the MAGA bunch live their religion. I don’t agree with them, but many try far harder than the Reform lot to live up to their values.

@michael0c @DamianLow3 @Jharrison22 How do you know 🤔 You don't have to go to church to be a good Christian. And quite frankly we have had enough of the demonic satanist lefties who think they can tell us how to practice Christianity or when we can fly OUR flag.

@unionjack78 @DamianLow3 @Jharrison22 That’s very good!! 😂

@michael0c @DamianLow3 @Jharrison22 Performatively going to church is very unprotestant. We have a direct link to God through prayer unlike Catholics who must use a priest as a conduit. It would be better for us to go to church daily but not 100 necessary to be Christian
