Bit more complicated than that

covers where they just try and copy the original song usually just turn out boring, but when they make it their own like this 👏👏👏 The Stranglers - Walk On By (TotP 1978) ▶️

In 1965, only 14% of Switzerland was connected to sewage treatment plants. Dead fish. Algae mats. A typhoid outbreak that killed 3 people. So they made clean water the law in 1971. Today, 98% are connected. They swim in city-centre rivers. The UK's dirty rivers are a choice.

You have to feel sorry for James Dyson. Imagine buying up 33,000 acres of farmland to avoid tax, only for Labour to then close the loophole. We need more patriots like him, who drive up farmland prices and vote for Brexit then fuck off to Singapore.

🇬🇧🇪🇺 The only 3 people to benefit from Brexit were Johnson - got prime minister Farage - got a cult following Putin - got a weaker UK and Europe. The rest of us got a poorer, more divided country with less rights and freedoms. Plus now we know reform were on the Russian take.

In 1988 I stood on the Kippax as LFC thrashed City 4-0 in the FAC Qtr final. Today City thrashed LFC 4-0 and it was a joy to be there.

OMG - yells the Express - it might cost us £3BN a year to start fixing the £100BN a year problem we enthusiastically campaigned for!! 🙄🙄🙄

@Decline_Observe @DrMatthewSweet Very clever. Thank you.

@Ben63 @DrMatthewSweet I was commenting on YOU. And so you Performatively Misunderstood. Have TWO Virtue Points for utterly proving me right!

Why do culture war loudmouths and fruitcakes hate Britain so much? Don't like our King, don't like our universities or institutions, don't like paying tax, don't like millions of our fellow citizens. Maybe they're just not very patriotic.

@itspolecatime @DrMatthewSweet How old were you in the mid 90’s?

@Ben63 @DrMatthewSweet I’d say we reached a peak in the mid 90’s…

I'm actually begging you freaks now - literally down on my knees begging, in floods of tears, spirit utterly broken - to talk about something that actually fucking matters for even just 5 minutes

@CockertonMark Surely it will be orange, lemon or lime marmalade like it is now

I’m sorry but if you are against boosting trade with Europe because *checks notes* we may have to add the word ‘citrus’ to marmalade labels, you have been radicalised and are unable to think critically. You’ll also likely be a Daily Express reader (no offence).

Well that’s pretty clear cut

Your #5OClockInspiration ...

Sadio Mane, a Senegalese soccer star, earns approximately $10.2 million annually. He gave the world a rude awakenng after some fans were flabbergasted when they saw him carrying a cracked iPhone 11. His response was awesome: "Why would I want ten Ferraris, 20 diamond watches, and two jet planes? I starved, I worked in the fields, played brefoot, and I didn't go to school. Now I can help people. I prefer to build schools and give poor people food or clothing. I have built schools and a stadium, provide clothes, shoes, and food for people in extreme poverty. In addition, I give 70 euros per month to all people from a very poor Senegalese region in order to contribute to their family economy. I do not need to display luxury cars, luxury homes, trips, and even planes. I prefer that my people receive some of what life has given me.

@MadDogBrit @Heccles94 @Nigel_Farage Even the best polls say 35% support Reform that is not a majority never mind a vast majority.

@Heccles94 @Nigel_Farage He actually does represent the vast majority. If you think he's bad, you are in for an awakening. Restore has entered the room.

I seem to have upset the @Nigel_Farage fan club - so let me be clear. This man sows hate, lies and division. He is a grifter and a conman. He does not represent the vast majority of Britons. RT if you agree P.s. multiculturalism is great.

This is one of the best Saturday Night Live skits ever! Americans are waking up! #maga #TrumpWarCrimes

⚠️ Watch out for Storm Dave over the Easter weekend. A deep area of low-pressure will move in from the Atlantic, bringing strong winds across NW Wales, on Saturday night into Sunday. #StormDave

@itspolecatime @DrMatthewSweet When was this?

@DrMatthewSweet Many love what it was, not what’s it become Sweetie…

@havingaknapp @DrMatthewSweet Some do appear to hate everything

This is silly. You can love your country and think that aspects of it are bonkers or destructive (I love my family, but I recognise that it’s a bit mental, in some respects). You can love the monarchy and regret the actions of individual monarchs. You can be proud of our universities and understand that aspects of them are a bit shit. You can care for fellow citizens and regret rapid demographic change. Suspect you know this already.
