@bridgo777 @I_amMukhtar Not seeking to argue either, but I have studied the Koran. Its guiding principle is no compulsion in religion. Lots of the (mis)quotes which are used to demonise Islam come from the Hadith. And if we had a similar book about any European from the 8C, it’d be just like that.

@AndyVonPaulus @I_amMukhtar Not arguing with you mate just look at history, and current events around the world and why they do it. Read the quran, get some education on islam. Then maybe you will understand

Tommy Robinson has called for British men to get fit and "to get fight ready because a fight is coming to this country." When he says British men. He means white British men.

@bridgo777 @I_amMukhtar You think their real intentions are to rape our daughters and kill us? All Muslims? What are the 99.9% of Muslims who live here and don’t do those things waiting for?

@AndyVonPaulus @I_amMukhtar You are deluded mate. One day in the future something will wake you up to their real intentions

@bridgo777 @I_amMukhtar I know many practising Muslims active at all levels of politics and civil society. None of them seek to undermine our laws and freedoms - they live here because they appreciate them.

@AndyVonPaulus @I_amMukhtar I’m also from the midlands. And I agree most Muslims are peaceful and nice people, but what worries me is how they’re getting so strong politically, all the sharia courts and Muslims in nearly every position of power. When there’s more of them than us, you’ll see the problem.

@bridgo777 @I_amMukhtar Sharia courts are a myth. There are religious arbitration panels (which may risk exerting pressure on women during divorces etc, I concede) but they operate under UK law, subservient to *actual* courts. The idea they have any real power is just a lie peddled by farage et al.

@bridgo777 @I_amMukhtar Yeah, I live in the Midlands mate. Hundreds of thousands of Muslims here. None of them want to rape my daughters or kill me though.

@AndyVonPaulus @I_amMukhtar Do you live in England? Have you been to Birmingham, Bradford, London? Or any major city in this country. They are majority Muslim, don’t listen to the stats, go and see with your own eyes. And I’m sure there’s a decent percentage who are shia Muslims.

@bridgo777 @I_amMukhtar Why would anyone need to get fit then? There are a couple of hundred people who ‘want to rape our daughters’, at best. It wouldn’t be much of a fight.

@I_amMukhtar No. Clear from who was there he doesn’t mean white. He means people who respect and assimilate to our culture. Not rape our daughters and want to kill us all because their god tells them to

@campbellclaret @CelticFC @JamTarts Let’s wait and see the viewing figures before we make any claims about what was the bigger event.

What an amazing season (and final match) turnaround for @CelticFC ... Hard not to feel sorry for @JamTarts who have given 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 football the most remarkable season in decades but honestly Celtic is a truly magical club in so many ways. And surely Martin O’Neill wins SPOTY coach of the year plus lifetime achievement!! Ps news broadcasters - unless the 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 FA Cup Final ends 9-8 with ten red cards 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 title IS THE BIGGEST SPORTS STORY of the day !!

@Rmadonyfc_ This genuinely would depend on who was refereeing. La Liga/UEFA refs, it would be quite equal. Premier League refs and Ronaldo wins with a cricket score.

Which team will win this match ?

@Tim30do @TateTheTalisman @Cobratate It isn’t their yacht. They’ve done well out of webcams - but net worth is around £9m. That’s not super yacht owning wealth.

@TateTheTalisman These Tate brothers don’t live life, they conduct luxury item roll calls. Here’s my Bugatti. Here’s my cigar. Here’s my watch. Here’s my yacht. We get it bro, you watched Casino Royale once. At this point the only thing missing is an actual personality @Cobratate

A lot of people tagging me in the “Looking for a new James Bond” post so let me chime in. Let’s pretend I was an amazing actor, and was actually seriously offered such a role (I am not). I couldn’t do it. I’m too big and bulky and I’m half black. My lips are too big and my eyes are too dark. My skin is too brown. James Bond was a white man and even people who are lightly mixed race looking like me shouldn’t be playing him. If they stay true to the novels especially when it comes to character casting they might save the franchise, casting me would be a Chris Nolan Odyssey style move to pander to the woke crowd. I know it’s hypothetical and not even real, but if it was I’d politely decline. “I’ll take a purple drank. Shaken not stirred” - No thanks.

@Nomadicscotsman That’s not irrefutable evidence. His arms were raised as a natural consequence of jumping, his left arm was prevented from being lowered by the Celtic player who jumped into him from behind. His hand wasn’t making his body unnaturally larger. That all adds up to no handball.

I understand the emotion around a huge penalty decision in a massive game. Football does that to people. But at some point emotion has to give way to evidence. When freeze frames, angles and clear contact are sitting right in front of us, denying it because it doesn’t suit your team or narrative just kills any honest debate. What’s even worse is when professionals and pundits, who know the game inside out, deliberately drive a narrative to suit an agenda rather than analyse what’s actually in front of them. That only fuels tribalism and misinformation. You can debate consistency. You can debate interpretation. But you can’t just ignore unrefutable evidence because it’s inconvenient. Football discussion is far better when honesty matters more than point scoring.

@dexdext05486686 @NS_1872 @chris_sutton73 You use your arms for leverage when jumping to head, watch footage of any footballer who has ever headed a ball. If someone comes from behind you and jumps in a way to prevent you lowering said arm (indeed, pushes it upwards) where is it meant to go?

@AndyVonPaulus @NS_1872 @chris_sutton73 Perhaps it’s me but having your elbow above your head and the back of your hand on your forehead isn’t a natural position. Certainly where I live it’s not. The Well player actually elbows Trusty and in doing so his arm rises up. It’s in fact x 2 a penalty.

Now the dust has settled.. The reaction from many high profile people is way over the top. John Beaton was advised to go to the monitor and saw that the ball hit the arm in an unnatural position Bottom line is people would hate to see Celtic win the title again and that is all.

@dexdext05486686 @NS_1872 @chris_sutton73 His hand isn’t making his body any bigger though, I thought that was the underlying premise of the rule? His arm is only there because the Celtic player is pushing it up, hence is ‘a consequence of the players body movement’.

@NS_1872 @chris_sutton73 Ah Nige thought you’d disappeared. Chris is spot on old bean.

@KevMcnee @Jason67136815 Doesn’t the hand have to be making the body unnaturally bigger? Which it clearly isn’t, in this case?

@Jason67136815 His hand is up high and makes contact with the ball doesn’t really matter how it’s there it’s clear as day it’s a handball

Only in Scotland would managers and pundits say this isn’t a handball 😆 it’s clear as day

@Footballfights Aah the good old days when the refs were on Barcelona’s payroll. We have to make do with VAR decisions all going in Man City’s favour for our fix of corruption these days. It’s just not the same.

This is still one of the worst football decisions of all time...

@Banksycat @zoeharcombe I’m sick of having to prove who I am to ten different organisations in order to get the most simple things done. So I can’t wait for single digital ID. Loved it when I had it living in Belgium a decade ago.

PAY ATTENTION. Your digital life was just sold to a billionaire. Tony Blair brokered the deal. The King announced it. You had no say. For 20 years Blair tried to force Digital ID. Failed in 2006 when his £4.6BN Identity Cards Act was scrapped. He learned. You can't force people. You make them walk into the trap optionally. In 2025, 2.96 MILLION petitioned against it. Government pretended to listen. Made it optional. But the trap was always the same. Once banks integrate it, employers require it, schools demand it. Optional becomes mandatory in practice. You won't function without it. Why? Larry Ellison paid the Tony Blair Institute £257 MILLION. Oracle already holds £700M in government contracts across Treasury, Home Office, NHS. They're not building a service. They're owning your life. In February, Blair and Ellison met in Dubai. Ellison called for unification of all government data for AI. Not to help you. To predict you. Control you. Monitor every transaction, every movement, every choice. TBI released the report in September. Starmer moved days later. King made it official. Once Digital ID embeds in NHS and tax system, no government can remove it without economic collapse. It becomes permanent. Survives every election. Every Prime Minister. Blair learned in 2006 that forced control gets rejected. So this time he's embedding it so deep rejection becomes impossible. This is institutional entrapment. You're getting a digital leash designed to predict and control your behaviour through AI. Wake up before optional becomes permanent.

@AndyRobsonTips Are they available from anywhere to buy?

She is a beauty and I’ve got a load more to give away.

@layxsnv C is the correct answer - no matter what YankGPT tries to tell you.

Okay, where are the English scholars, which one?

@ZacGoldsmith @simonmontefiore Does anyone dispute this? Does anyone defend the Hamas terrorists who did it? I’ve never seen or heard anyone. All I’ve heard is people say that Palestinian children don’t deserve to pay (often with their lives) for Hamas crimes.

“What kind of a depraved monster slices off a woman’s breast while she is being gang raped, and throws it into the dust to be used as a plaything? What kind of a twisted pervert turns rape into necrophilia by shooting a woman in the head while he is still defiling her? What kind of ‘freedom fighters’ go into battle with a set of handy Arabic-to-Hebrew phrases, including ‘take off your pants’, ‘lie down’, and ‘spread your legs’? What self-respecting human being presses nails, scalpels, a hammer, an axe, screwdrivers and other household tools into a woman’s genitals? How hard do you have to rape someone, and with what, to shatter their pelvis? Who shoots a young girl in the face and then films her mutilated corpse on her brother’s mobile phone? The answer is: Hamas terrorists. This is the stark reality of what they did to men, women and children on October 7, 2023. And the world must never forget.” @WestminsterWAG

@MichelleDewbs Just be someone your child wants to impress - and you achieve all these outcomes without having to be snotty towards your own flesh and blood. I don’t have to ‘score’ my son’s tennis or fine him pocket money. He tries hard because he respects me and knows that will make me proud.

Wow - This has created a great debate about parenting, I love to see it! 🙌 I can’t help but notice tho- there are some utter melts responding to this🤣 To those people - Allow me to push you right over the edge then…(trigger warning!) In addition to my football approach - My 5 year old son also does tennis. We insist the coach ‘scores’ his performance, to him, out of 10 each time. My boy is gutted when he scores below 8, but knows if so, he must try harder next time to beat his own score. He bursts with pride when he achieves it. At a recent swim lesson, he messed around the whole time. So when we got home, he had to give me his pocket money box. I took ‘pennies’ from it (which he was most upset about!) whilst explaining that if he wants to mess around during a lesson, he can ‘pay’ for it himself & waste his own money. He hasn’t messed around there, during lesson time, again. And during his first ever ‘fun run’ - When the event had finished & everyone else was sat, I convinced him to push himself & run a whole extra lap, alone. He did so, with gusto. I push him as best I can. I don’t indulge (and never will) so-called ‘gentle parenting’, victimhood, trigger warnings, safe-spaces or loser mentalities. I will teach him that life can be hard & that he will be knocked. And that’s ok. But always, always dust yourself off, go again & do whatever it is, to the best of your ability. But - I serve all this (and more), alongside a staple diet of: deep love, support, affection, fun, spontaneity, adventures, laughter, happiness and hugs. I hope all of these ingredients (and others) combine to one day create a wonderful man. One filled with motivation, decency, integrity, strength, self-belief, respect, competitiveness, courage, resilience, grit, accountability, confidence, grace, kindness, compassion, happiness, humour, good manners, good banter and a whole lot more (including a Hull accent! 🤣🤣)… If so…that for me, is parenting done well and I’ll say again, an approach which, if many others adopted - would see this country (and our young people!) in a far better place than it currently is. 👍🏻

@mr_xami @ClinchRMCF Agreed - those two wingers are ass.

@ClinchRMCF Those 2 wingers. If they want to win then they must emulate Spain in 2010. Play Bruno and Bernando Silva on the wings. Vitinha, Joao Neves and Ruben completes the Midfied 5. It’s the only way.

What's stopping this Portugal 🇵🇹 National Team to finally win the World Cup?
