@WG_RumblePants My like was number 333 - quite apt.

White cricket helmets are cool. They will always be cool. Bring them back.

@Sanny_Rudra When I was at uni at Oxford Brookes 99-02, they were the best rowing uni - not just in UK but in the world.

Took me years to realise that Oxford and Cambridge aren’t even generally the two best university rowing teams. Just the establishment telling us it’s important.

The High Speed 2 “bat tunnel” is one of the clearest examples of how Britain is tying itself in knots. A structure built to comply with environmental legislation has cost over £100 million. It was designed to protect a colony of around 300 rare Bechstein’s bats living in ancient woodland. That’s roughly £333,000 per bat. We are not failing to build because we lack engineers or ambition, we are failing because we’ve made infrastructure hostage to bureaucracy. No serious country can grow like this.

King Charles threw open the doors to Windsor Castle so Muslims could celebrate Ramadan Iftar last year. It was the first time in the castles 1000 year history. Meanwhile, he won’t even record a message for Christians for Easter this year.

@TightFive_Rugby Not awful. A forward pass. Could also make a case of blocking in the earlier passage of play (on around 7 secs). Have seen those given before also. 🤷🏻‍♂️

This is an awful decision, and it cost Ospreys a place in the quarter-finals.

Very good! Well done @deanbwilson Important read for any @Gloscricket and @CountyChamp fan!! @mndassoc #Syd 👏👏🏏🏏

HAPPY EASTER!! 🐣✝️

Fair play to their win but Southampton on here, shouting “going to Wembley!” like it’s the final. Exactly the sort of reason why semi-finals should not be played at Wembley. Wembley is the ultimate destination. For a final. @EmiratesFACup

@PremSportsTV @ExeterChiefs Munster with a lovely display of touch rugby and not quite getting the tags off.

"Feyi-Waboso...ARE YOU KIDDING ME?" 🗣️ An incredible try from @ExeterChiefs' Immanuel Feyi-Waboso as he weaves through the Munster defence 🟣 #ChallengeCupRugby

Not often you score 34 points away in a knockout match and lose by 15! #NORvCAS @PremSportsTV @ChampionsCup

🚨BREAKING: THOUSANDS of Christian’s have FLOODED Trafalgar Square this morning to celebrate Good Friday 🇬🇧 Thousands of people have gathered to DECLARE the UK a Christian nation ✝️ Absolutely beautiful to see, much much better than a sea of Muslims.

@sid_lambert Gold! Absolite gold. Iconic tv.

Start of the @CountyChamp Raining. Obvs.

🚨 Douglas Murray DESTROYS BBC Newsnight Presenter Douglas Murray calmly dismantles the BBC on his “less Islam” comment: Nick Watt: “We should have less Islam in this country. Was that a wise phrase?” Murray: “Perfectly wise phrase… This country had a wildly stupid and lax immigration policy for decades.” On the bomber Salman Abedi: “One of the sons they gave this country was Salman Abedi who at 22 killed 22 young girls… one for every year of life this country gave him.” Then the key logic: “Jihadist extremism, jihadism comes from Islam. Therefore, if it’s 1%, 5%, 15% of people of the Muslim faith who follow that version of it, you’ve got a hell of a problem. And the more people, this is simple math, the larger the number of people who are followers of a faith that has not solved the extremism problem in its midst… the more extremism you will have. You don’t get that from the Catholic Church… or the Anglican church.” Murray closes powerfully: “Nobody else is as incredibly slow in learning as the British media and political class when it comes to this problem. Why is it the case that Saturday after Saturday we have thousands of people going through major British cities who support the death cults who would murder Jews and the rest of us next? That’s a question you and Newsnight should answer.” Countries with less Islam have less Islamic terrorism. Straight talk the BBC clearly struggles with.

Mr Starmer, The world is watching. And for once, I’m not here to play nice or balance both sides. This is the one shot I get to say what millions already know in their bones. You are not Britain’s Prime Minister. You are a man who won an election and immediately began dismantling the very things the British people voted for in 2016. You are squatting in Downing Street while steering the country back into the arms of the institution it explicitly rejected. If you will not stand down, the British people will make you. Here is every claim you made today, stripped bare, no spin, no mercy: 1. “The Middle East conflict has now entered its second month.” Thank you for the calendar update. While you counted months, the IRGC a group formally designated as terrorists by the United States, Canada, and others, continued running its London operations from 16 Prince’s Gate, Knightsbridge. You did nothing. 2. “The UK is working at pace for de-escalation and peace.” Translation: we issued strongly worded statements. Results: zero. Your “pace” is the speed of a snail on tranquillisers. 3. “The war will affect the future of our country, energy and cost of living.” It already is. Your green ideology and EU realignment have left Britain with some of the highest energy prices in the developed world. Pensioners choose between heating and eating. That’s not “the war.” That’s policy. 4. “We are well-placed with a long-term plan to emerge stronger and more secure.” Record taxes. 7.5 million people on NHS waiting lists. Record small-boat crossings. Energy bills that could bankrupt households. If this is your definition of “stronger and more secure,” the English language just filed for divorce. 5. “I held meetings with business leaders…” Photo opportunities. They warned you. You smiled for the cameras and carried on regardless. 6. “Energy bills will be cut today and fixed until July.” A £117 cap that your own NI increases and green levies have already vaporised. It’s not relief. It’s an insult dressed up as compassion. 7. “The most effective way to support the cost of living is to push for reopening the Strait of Hormuz.” Then why did you help shut down North Sea production and make us dependent on foreign energy? The hypocrisy is so thick you could spread it on toast. 8. “The UK is taking back control of our energy security by investing in clean British energy.” Britain now pays the highest industrial electricity prices in Europe. Blackouts are on the menu. This is not “taking back control.” This is self-sabotage with better PR. 9. “Because the world is volatile, Britain’s long-term national interest now requires closer partnership with the EU.” Let’s be honest for once: you are using a foreign crisis as cover to hand sovereignty, money, and decision-making back to Brussels without asking the British people. That is not statesmanship. That is betrayal by stealth. 10. “I will announce a new summit with the EU later this year…” Re-joining by the back door while an Iranian terror-linked operation sits in one of London’s most expensive postcodes. The sheer gall is almost impressive. You stood at the podium today and spoke of “British interests” while actively working against them. You swore you wouldn’t rejoin the EU. You are doing it anyway. You talk of security while leaving a designated terror network untouched in central London. You lecture about the cost of living while your policies make it worse. The mask is not slipping, Keir. It has fallen off and shattered on the floor. The British people see you clearly now: a politician who values international approval and Brussels goodwill more than the nation that elected him. You are not leading Britain. You are managing its managed decline. The clock is ticking. Not in secret. Not in silence. Out loud, in broad daylight, across every pub, every kitchen table, every X feed and every street in this country. History does not forgive those who sell their own people’s sovereignty for applause. Britain did not vote for this. Britain does not want this. And Britain will not tolerate this forever. The reckoning is coming. And it will not be kind. Britain First. No Surrender. 🦁🇬🇧

@DanKingdom96 Should be points awarded for each second innings. So many matches are shaped by the 3rd innings performances. Crazy they are not recognised

Seeing as basically everyone seems to agree that 8 points is too many for a draw in the County Championship, I wondered if this might change but alas it remains the same Batting bonus points will also continue to start at 250

@Artemisfornow @danwootton Not a good look. Lazy at best; Divisive at worst. Supposed Head of Church of England!

🚨 What? … The King of the UK, who gave official Ramadan messages from the palace during Lent … WILL NOT be issuing an Easter message for Christians this year. It appears the ‘Leader of the Faith’ doesn’t really want to lead a Christian country 💣

Three days ago, Christians in Syria were brutally attacked and had their villages raided by Islamic militants Today, Keir Starmer rolled out the red carpet for the ISIS terrorist President of Syria While Christians bleed, Starmer pops the champagne for their butchers Pure evil
