@northumbriana You just look like Poppy with brown curly hair instead of her straight golden tresses though

Just found this at the back of a drawer. Don’t mock the bouffant - all the 13 year old Geordie aggro boys had them at the time 👊🏻

What a painting! A new one on me too - I feel the need for a print of this in my life now

Trying to think of other heads of state called Joseph. There were 2 Austrian Emperors (3 if we include Franz Joseph), Joseph Bonaparte in Naples & Spain, a King José of Portugal, and a few popes - Giuseppe Sarto (“Joe Taylor”) who became Pius X, plus Joseph Ratzinger. Others?

My fave book in the ether is still Caxton’s first ever published however

Go on - treat yourself - and everyone else you know while you’re at it - you won’t be disappointed, I promise

TBH, I’ve probably sent about 7 tweets/year, however, 7 yrs is a long time like!!
English
@IggMusic Absolutely. So many replies as I read one of your tweets and found the content shocking, so I scrolled through your earlier posts to see if that was a mistaken/ironic mis-tweet. Clearly, I am sad that it was not, but I am more than happy to have a dialogue about just why that is
English
@MsJacksonTweets Of course mate! Always up for a good debate. Wasn't quite expecting so many replies, we clearly have a difference of opinion on a lot of subjects and that's all good. We're all free to express our views dude.

@IggMusic Self preservation requires energy & spirit to avoid harm to one’s self; the clue is in the word ‘preservation’ (to protect), which is an active not a passive process. Ergo: to limply protect is an impossibility; whereas to lamely self-deflect (as you prove here) is very possible
English
@IggMusic The latter part of this statement would be wonderful if it applied to you, though you no doubt would assert that you are the evolved, finished product of future-thinking and are unlikely to be enlightened as to the irony implicit in your entire tweet
English
@IggMusic The definition of a ‘jihad’ is to strive or struggle with a praiseworthy aim; these attacks are not a struggle and they are not praiseworthy; ergo, they are not a jihad.
English
Looks like 'jihadi' is the next word to be elevated to taboo status so that we can all keep dancing around the truth.
2020 has been the year for butchering semantics in order to control the terms of debate, and it really, really sucks.

@IggMusic I am speaking the truth; that’s what political correctness is: there’s a big clue in the word ‘correct’-ness
English
@IggMusic The only person playing the victim round here is you Ian; it must be terrifying having all these trans children, articulate black women and civilised people having the decency to wear masks to prevent the spread of a virus attacking your fragile ego on a daily basis
English
@IggMusic A mask is designed to control the amount of germs a person can respirate into the environment and inhale themselves; ergo, a mask is a tool of control, and your argument is invalid
English
I'm fed up with this 'anti-maskers' crap. Just another term designed to attack, marginalise and relegate people who won't tow the line.
The reason people are hacked off is because not only is the timing absurd and erroneous, but also because it symbolises being compelled to...

@IggMusic You do know the history of the word ‘freaks’ don’t you?
English
Look at these absolute freaks. If this is the 'new normal', I'm out. Get me to the countryside.
