@Atomsmade You can imagine a bunch of muslims watching this in disgust and bewilderment and who could blame them

I can't wait for the day this is finally diagnosed as a mental disorder

@ContrarianSaver There's another problem - many people are going to have the same idea, so we might go from it being difficult to get a plumber/etc to it being too easy, lowering prices.
English
I’m not saying “no one should go into the trades” - just that the media (especially social media) underplays the downsides:
- takes a physical toll on your body; work life is limited
- virtually no upside unless you start your own business
- job gets harder as you age; white collar jobs get easier and better compensated with experience
You can be a plumber if you want just please - don’t fall for the hype

@narindertweets @andyburnham And yet our state pension is a pittance compared to France Germany and several others
English
Everyone goes crazy when I say it - but the writings on the wall -
the Triple Lock pension is simply unsustainable and must go!
@andyburnham has got to have the guts to admit this and abolish it.

@MemoryLaneTime I detest those 2 spaces, but why was it ever a thing even in the typewriter era?
English
Just a friendly reminder to my friends older than 42:
You don’t have to put 2 spaces after the period anymore. That was for the typewriter era. You're free

@TheCriticalDri2 If you mean the UK, manuals are definitely on the way out, and quite rapidly too
English
I blame retarded Americans for their reliance on automatics. Most cars are still manual over here, so this isn't considered much of a skill, it's just how we learn to drive.

This girl is cruising down the highway in her stick shift, windows down, wind in her hair, belting out songs while she shifts gears without missing a beat. She looks genuinely happy and in control. Most people these days never learn how to drive manual. It takes real timing and coordination to get the clutch and gas right, especially when you’re just trying to have fun and sing along. Seeing her do it so naturally makes you realize how much of that skill is disappearing. Do you think driving stick is becoming a lost art, or do you still think it’s worth teaching people even if almost every new car is automatic?

@RCEY28 Did it for 35 years then got an electric then thought why the hell did I spent so long with a stick and clutch when I didn't have to

@akafaceUS You're not doing much to counter the widespread European belief that Americans are a little bit stupid

Name one thing that Europe does better than the United States.
I'll go first: Public transportation.

@iAmJoshHunt OMG I'm tempted to move to Clacton just to be able to vote for CBF. Even if Farage wins against CBF, it's going to be pretty humiliating up there on the stage when the returning officer does his thing. Wow!!
English
Every mainstream party has pulled out of the Clacton by-election.
Labour. The Tories. The Lib Dems. The Greens. All of them.
Which leaves Farage against exactly one key challenger… Count Binface.
Westminster thinks this is hilarious. And don't get me wrong, it is.
But in a two-horse race, Binface can win. Because an anti-Farage vote has one place to go.
But here's what nobody in Westminster has thought through. A man with a bin on his head walks into the Commons, and within a month he's speaking more sense and intelligence than the political class has managed in two decades.
Right now, they’re laughing at the circus. As I think many of us are.
But they haven't realised yet, should the unthinkable happen, that they're the main act.
The Independent@Independent
The odds of Count Binface beating Farage in Clacton have been slashed after all major parties refused to stand in what they have dubbed a “fake” election. UK politics has officially entered its "plotlines from rejected sitcom scripts" era. Read more: independent.co.uk/news/uk/politi…

@mattwridley Global suicide pact sounds a bit worse though doesn't it
English
Taking the view that the UK should send its emissions (and jobs and income) abroad to pretend we are cutting them (0.8% of global emissions) and that we should do so whatever the cost and despite other countries not doing so is the basis of a national suicide pact.
Tony Juniper@TonyJuniper
Taking the view that the UK shouldn’t cut emissions due to us contributing a tiny share of the global total is the basis of a global suicide pact. We either do this across the world, together, or face the collapse of civilisation.

@mark_slapinski Quite simple. He gambled on being the hero who brought about regime change, and lost.

What the hell was the point of starting a war with Iran?

Europeans are actually so scared of the USA 😂
We barely care about soccer and we almost won the SoccerBowl.
Give it some time until we’re invested and we’ll win the SoccerBowl every year just like the Basketball Olympics.
There isn’t a single thing Europe does better than us 🇺🇸🦅

@Tweetoleon Rounders, oops sorry "baseball", is played exclusively by children in schools - mostly girls I believe
English
Let me rephrase it for you:
We're too busy being number one at all of the other sports that pay *far* better in the US market.
Soccer is what we have kids play in gym class.
Sgr A* 🚮@zdzichudyrma
@Not_Firestine @Tweetoleon @hubyszn let me rephrase it for you, soccer is the biggest sport on earth by some margin and you suck at it( despite being known as sport nation)

@jeffcharlesjr Leftist? What do you mean leftist? The people who are complaining are worried about the integrity of the game. If a corrupt politician can intervene to break the rules, what integrity is there left and therefore what's the point of watching it?
English
I just want to get something straight.
Are leftists really melting down because Trump intervened to stop the suspension of a black US Men's Soccer player?
They're out here saying this black man should be suspended for doing something other soccer players have done without getting suspended.
Sounds racist to me.
English
Do Trump voters really not see how abnormal this all is?

.@POTUS on Balogun's red card: "I've never seen anything like it. I saw the play... that wasn't a foul. That wasn’t even an infraction. That was two guys running full speed that happened to crash into each other... So yes, I asked for a review by FIFA."

@King0243_PJC I thought that was fake on first viewing. It's not, is it? Or is it?

Nigel Farage looks completely broken in this airport clash.
The pressure has finally got to him, I honestly thought he was about to punch that Sky News reporter.
He sounds finished. MSM are asking the real questions for the first time and this reaction says it all. Time’s up? #Farage #ReformUK

@SenTomCotton "I wish liberals could put their country ahead of their politics just once" - that said in regard to a very dodgy decision to reinstate a banned footballer. Have you ever considered it might be better to respect why he was banned? Remember what America used to be like pre Trump?
English
I admit that I’m not the biggest soccer fan, but I’m glad President Trump urged FIFA to do the right thing. Good for President Trump, good for Folarin Balogun, good for the USA. I wish liberals could put their country ahead of their politics just once, but I guess that’s asking too much. Let’s join together tonight and cheer our team on to victory.
