@maciej824205 @nickdixon @grok No, of course not, but why let the truth get in the way of blaming immigrants ??

@nickdixon @grok has violent crime actually gone up in parallel with increased immigration levels in the UK?

You know it’s bad when the guy from The Apprentice is posting this.

@lfc_lance Ashley Young?

@Website_Plug @Teyr262 @InternetH0F We have them at ports in the uk looking for stowaways and anything out of the ordinary. So yes, x-ray machines that are big enough for a semi. There are news articles from 2000 about them being used so at least 25 years this has been happening.

@Teyr262 @InternetH0F Xray machine properly sized to scan a semi? Elaborate

someone definitely snitched because aint no fuckin way

I body slammed a male police officer to the ground in 2012 and I was initially charged with ABH but then forced to plea guilty naïvely to section 20 GBH. I didn’t break any bones nor inflicted any bruises or cuts and held myself accountable not knowing the magnitude of the charge. I held myself fully accountable as a white, Christian, British, straight man to which they took full advantage of. It’s funny how British law and order is fully applicable to us but differs to those who can play the cultural and racial card… If there’s an investigative journalist out there that wants to know the truth please get my court statements and you will find out that I never laid a finger on a woman and that the situation wasn’t preempted. My reaction was sparked by an action by the male police officer however I still held my accountable for ‘my actions’ thereafter. If the Manchester airport scumbags do not get a custodial sentence then I will stark something that no one will be prepared for and I will bring a whole British nation along with me! 🫡🇬🇧

@rowbott1 @WivFunnyFarm @CyberEllen1994 @MonkEmma Personally, I don’t see your approach as better here. It may be more technically correct but that sure looks like a dog whistle to me and I think it’s correct that we call it out directly (and should call them out more)

@WivFunnyFarm @CyberEllen1994 @MonkEmma And sure, I think if she had been a bit more circumspect - said, for example, that there’s a reasonable chance there’s a dog whistle there - then it would have been much better.

I was asked to take a look into this tweet, cos, well, it’s Andrea Jenkyns!🤷🏼‍♀️ So first - the substance of the story… 1/20

@cvpayne What’s this? Fox News presenter not telling the full story, imagine my shock and horror….. This is all part of Jaguars plan, it’s deliberate. New models are being released 2026 and they aren’t selling new cars right now. Only then will we know if this works or kills the brand.

Remember that Jaguar rebranding (the creepy one)?

@LamineRole Denis Irwin. Jeez you lot have short memories!

Has there ever been a single good white fullback in football’s history? Just one.

@sanguine61981 @Steve_Cooke @KirstieMAllsopp Okay, I’ll bite. Yes, they should. We are talking about going from 5 bed to 6 bed in the scenario put forward. Basically no-one is doing that through necessity, it’s elective. So pay up.

@Steve_Cooke @KirstieMAllsopp I find it odd how many people take this line. Even if it were true, so what? Why is it beyond people to put envy aside for five minutes and ask 'but should they have to?'

If you have a house in Swansea that is worth £550,000 and you want to move to one that costs £650,000 you have to pay £29,250 in Stamp Duty. This is insane, no one is going to move, they will stay put and all the businesses that would benefit from that move won’t.

@luciecmz @virtaava Too luxury? I have lived and driven in both. It’s not luxury, it’s the type of vehicle and cost to run them. American vehicles are expensive to run (petrol costs a lot more in Europe) and are typically too big for a lot of roads and parking in Europe as well.

@virtaava Now with EV nearly all cars tend to be heavy, broader cars. American standard for cars is too luxury for most Europeans, something to boast about, while Europeans just look for a vehicle that can bring them where they want to go.

Some thoughts from earlier posts, shaped by what I’ve observed—and a few comments I got. I asked people in Europe: "What USA-made products have you bought from a grocery store?" The answer? Almost nothing. A few mentioned snacks or drinks, but even then—most were made in Europe, under different brand names. Then I flipped it: "What European products do you buy at your local store?" Boom—cheese, chocolate, wine, pasta, biscuits. Pricey? Sometimes. Available? Absolutely. So what’s going on? European products flood American shelves. But American products barely make it onto European ones. It’s not just about shipping costs. It’s about standards—and whose side the law is on. In Europe, food safety follows the Precautionary Principle: "Prove it’s safe before it hits the shelf." In the US, it’s the Risk-Based Approach: "Sell it unless it proves harmful—eventually." Big difference. Life-altering difference. The result? A lot of American-made food doesn’t qualify for the European market. Too many banned ingredients. Too many additives. Too many shortcuts. So even US-based giants—Pepsi, Kraft, Nestlé—switch gears in Europe, cutting out the junk to meet the standards. They can make safer food. They do make safer food. Just not for Americans. Why? Because in the US, the rules let them cut corners, keep selling, and rake in profits. It’s cheaper to lobby against change than to raise the bar. Same company. Same product. Two versions. And in America? You get the worse one. That’s not just a market failure. That’s a conscious, profit-driven choice. And unless people start demanding better, it’s not going to change. Honestly? I feel bad for the average American consumer—sold the illusion of choice, while store shelves overflow with ultra-processed, chemical-laced junk dressed in slick packaging. It’s not just about price. It’s about health. And they’re getting the short end of the stick, one bite at a time.

@ChiswickMcnabb @jaynelodge5 @waynelsworth @TomABacon No, the note was a tradition going back years. It was weaponised by the incumbent government (Conservative led coalition) and since, the then chancellor has apologised for doing it but it seems the damage is done as some can’t move on from it.

@jaynelodge5 @waynelsworth @TomABacon Because it only happened once?

I have an odd reaction to Labour's decisions of late. Whether we like it or not, they are driven by one simple fact: the country is in serious financial trouble. Public services are crumbling, and require heavy investment to recover. 🧵

@KiltedWarrier @RichardBentall @terrychristian I’m glad you’re happy that this isn’t a Brexit benefit and could have been done as part of the EU.

@RichardBentall @terrychristian Very happy for them.

So latest polls show 63% want to rejoin EU. If we do rejoin the EU - can any leave voters tell me which tangible benefit of Brexit they will miss the most. Just answer the question, no non sequiturs or questioning the basis of the question. Thanks

@leematson @LauraLambent @TimKrimmel @LDS_Dems WW2 in Europe ended in May 1945. Attlee became PM in July 1945.

@LauraLambent @TimKrimmel @LDS_Dems Well, considering that Clement Attlee replaced Winston Churchill as PM during WW2, it is apparent that at least 1 election was held in the UK “whilst” Churchill was in power.

I do not understand the Republican hatred of Zelensky. He is the Churchill of our times. He has worked tirelessly for the freedom of his people. He is everything they claim to want in a leader....yet they hate him. I don't get it. (Actually I do know why.....)

@weakness_not @BladeoftheS The FT would know this so I would be interested in reading the article to see what was reported if you have the link.

@weakness_not @BladeoftheS This is a common in card transactions. The £100 you called ringfenced is known as an “auth” (authorisation) to ensure you have sufficient funds in your account and it isn’t spent before the “capture” where the money is transferred. This should happen quickly but can be delayed.

Tesco charging you for imaginary petrol.

@Dieter75 @TheChelBoys @Pampadalampa @WallStreetSilv I was refuting you claim that rights don’t exist everywhere, but you said that doesn’t define rights. So I’m asking you to define rights …. Which you didn’t do. I knew you wouldn’t, by the way, I knew you would deflect.

The Blade Runners in London continue to disable the ULEZ cameras as fast as the city govt puts them up. This is a battle for the rights of people to travel freely and not be limited due to inability to afford a new car with the latest technology. 🔊

@WallStreetSilv The stupidest thing about the “blade runners” is that in the film, they worked for the police tracking down dissidents, they are the opposite of freedom fighters. If most Londoners were against ULEZ, Khan would have lost the election, but he didn’t, so …..
