@Free_ByTheSea People who commit offences and plead guilty to them often don’t attract much sympathy.

Did the Prime Minister show humanity to Lucy Connolly and her family? The vitriol she endured thanks to his narrative, was off the scale.

@otokyo__ I am thinking though of starting a Flatliners Club. Perhaps a T shirt?

@otokyo__ Well, I’m a head of you there. I suffered a heart attack in August last year. No output three times. I’m afraid I must report no bright light or pearly gates, There was an Angel though. Turns out he was a a Critical Care nurse called Glen, who was taking out my intubation.

Dear atheist, What if, after you die, you find out that God is real all along? You lose.

@EricLDaugh All countries reserve the right to deny undesirables entry. UK governments of all varieties have done it. Far from British patriots, they are all foreign nationals, several with long records of far right and neo-Nazi connections and convictions.

🚨 JUST IN: UK PM Keir Starmer announces he’s BANNING people from traveling there to attend Tommy Robinson’s peaceful patriot rally Starmer smears them as “far right” RESIGN NOW, KEIR! You’re gonna put MORE travel controls on patriots than 3rd world Muslims?! Unbelievable. Keep pushing, @TRobinsonNewEra! 🇺🇸 🇬🇧

@QueenAnticommie If you can’t afford to pay your staff a living wage, don’t open a restaurant. Lack the courage to charge a realistic price? Don’t shame your guests into doing it for you. Not trusting your staff to deliver good service without starving them? You hired the wrong staff

I agree with this! If you can’t afford a tip, stay home

@MartinTwigs68 It’s not really a secret, is it? It was also always pretty clear that even after we had left, we still needed to conform to their regulations if we wanted to continue exporting there. Ah, but I remember anyone talking about rule takers were just called ‘project fear’ remoaners?

Has Starmer been secretly negotiating a deal with the EU? Apparently he wants to tie the UK to EU rules using Henry VIII powers. No parliament vote and we'll be forced to accept all EU rules without any parliamentary involvement. Surely that's treason?

@Alexandr4Denman I’m getting rather board of this disinformation. Fire on church property is actually below the average. Mostly accidental, what very little arson there is turns out to be simple vandalism. Zero evidence of religious motivation Utter racist tosh.

Another church gone up in flames in Southall, so strange how many going up in flames yet no protection for the Christian people of this country, no big news broadcast of Anglophobia being attacked everyday and our places of worship? Don’t you find it weird?? Thoughts

@ronmanagernottm I would never have known how to put a metal tyre into a wooden cartwheel without How. Good job too. Comes up nearly every week…

This is what Wikipedia looked like in the 70s.

@Guzzibob115775 @ronmanagernottm @JayAtkins66 My son and I have been watching the Out of Town re-runs on TPTV (Noel Cronin has got a load of Southern TV content). He’s become quite a fan, although he’s only 27!

@ronmanagernottm @JayAtkins66 youtu.be/2XK0RImTvh0?si… Had this going through my head straight away..

@peskydogooder @ronmanagernottm I’ve been doing that as a gag on office fruit bowls for years. The look on their faces when they peel it and the pieces fall everywhere. Priceless!

@ronmanagernottm I still remember how to slice a banana without peeling it, thanks to this! Not something I have used often, admittedly, but still - knowledge is power and all that 😅

@BritishBastardX Why are you interested in the description. Do you think you know him? As the suspect is in custody, there would be little point asking for the public’s help in identifying him, would there? Or issuing a description with a warning to stay away from him.

🚨 A man has been arrested after a flammable substance was reportedly poured around St Andrews church in Hornchurch, Essex. Police were called to the scene with reports of a man acting suspiciously. No description of the man as of yet, what a surprise.

@JenKteach The answer therefore is not to tear the country apart to fix it. Rather to address your own situation. In other words “Ask not what your country can do for you; rather what you can do for your country”

@JenKteach Like all the ‘Broken Britain’ narrative. Bollocks. If you believe otherwise, here’s why: Britain isn’t broken for everyone, just you. That’s because you are a failure in some way, but lack the courage to admit it or do something about it. It’s easier to blame others

The Commandant of Royal Military Academy Sandhurst has had a few words to say about the quality of today's young men and women. "I get to do quite a lot of public speaking often to civilian audiences and sometimes they like to tell me that the young of today aren't what they used to be, that they're not as tough as they used to be," explained Major General Nick Cowley. "And I have a very sophisticated answer for them – I tell them they're talking bollocks." forcesnews.com/services/army/…

@BLAIMGame There are plenty of people who can’t abide wisdom or common sense. X is full of them. Conspiracy theorists, climate deniers, xenophobes, racists etc, ignorance abounds. You are amongst many (admittedly not very bright) friends.

I know I’m probably the only one, but I just can’t abide David Attenborough.

@ronmanagernottm My Dad was specially selected to be amongst the first drivers of the ‘lilac leopards’ coaches for Nottingham City Transport (aka ‘The Corpo’). He took one full of the great and the good out to Ljubljana. Now in Slovenia, but then in the nominally communist Yugoslavia

Phwoooooooooooooooooar!

@ronmanagernottm It’s like thinking you were going to get Coca-cola or Pepsi for your birthday party and then finding out your mam got Rola Cola from Bejam

@Oldscarfe @AllisonPearson I think you are getting the cart and horse the wrong way around. Voters have never been more manipulated. Algorithm driven social media echo chambers. ‘Entertainment’ channels masquerading as News. Unprecedented use of blatant lies and playing on fears and prejudices

@Handlebarbleep @AllisonPearson She's right. None of the main parties have represented their voters' politics for decades. Starmer didn't "win" the previous election, the Tories lost: if the Right wasn't undergoing a revolution at the time he could never have won, even against the 14 years of indolence Tories.

From today, the Government and Opposition will no longer represent the British people. An extraordinary thought. We really need a general election

@Chris_Davies @ShabanaMahmood @EvaVlaar @ValentinaForUSA @JoeyMannarino @AdaLluch Do you mean like Martin Sellner Snoop Dog Geert Wilders Stokely Carmichael Etc? All deemed un-conducive to the public good by Conservative governments? Presumably you would want to champion these as well? Because very unpleasant they are too Strange bedfellows you keep.

So @ShabanaMahmood has now banned the following from entering the United Kingdom on the grounds that they “would not be conducive to the public good”. @EvaVlaar @ValentinaForUSA @JoeyMannarino @AdaLluch The common links? All right wing and all proposed speakers at the Unite The Kingdom rally on 16th May. Regardless of your political vista, this is chilling stuff and solely politically motivated to try to undermine @TRobinsonNewEra So much for “we’ve had free speech for a very long time and it will be around for a very long time”. What say you @POTUS ??? You can’t hate Labour enough.

@Artemisfornow Our rights belong to us, in our own jurisdiction. They do not extend to foreign actors who enter our country, any more than our citizens have the right to enter other countries and practice our rights there.

Starmer told President Trump that Britain has had free speech “for a very long time and will have it for a very long time.” Yet the Home Office has blocked 4 speakers from entering the UK before they’d even spoken at any event, I presume on the basis they might cause disorder. But that’s pre-emption. Once you accept that the state can decide who is allowed to speak based on what might be said, you no longer have free speech as a principle… you have only selective permission to speak, if the government approves.
