I would pay to see a buddy movie about Hildebert and Everwin, the illuminators for Bishop Zdík of Olomouc in the early 12th Century who suffered from a terrible mouse problem.

Yes it obviously makes more sense to have detention centres in areas that are less likely to protest or tolerate protests.
If you put migrant camps in London or Bristol it’ll be non-stop protests and riots.
If you put them in patriotic rural areas there will be no such issue.
JACK ANDERTON@JACKGUYANDERTON
"If anything, it makes more sense to place them in the most patriotic areas of the country." Restore Britain wants to place illegal migrants in YOUR community. Does Rupert know you have posted this?
English
@Landeur The security of the detention centres must be considered; placing them in a hostile area is risky. Is it not better for them to be placed near airports or RAF bases?
English
Another good argument.
I have no problem listening to rational arguments, but arguing about 'fairness' in a zero-sum game, implying they should be put in 90% White areas and not Bradford is dumb.
W. Clifton@wclifton968
@Landeur Couldn't care less about the "fairness", but Green and Liberal Democrat-run councils will fight tooth and nail to ensure that no deportation facility is opened within their jurisdiction, compared to any potential Reform or Restore run council, who will likely not be in arms way.

@echetus It's all just words in an order that obeys grammar - that's all it takes be to be philosophical nowadays. I know what I say seems stupid, ignorant of nuance, but in a multimedia environment, meaning becomes nearly infinite, and, therefore, equivalent to meaningless...

My takeaway from watching the great-and-good lapse into AI psychosis is that there’s a lot to be gained from being obsequious and ingratiating.

@JanetWestern @afneil I see; you are a tool of containment, "Janet". You will not stop us from doing what needs to be done to restore Britain.
English
@ConsiderElwin @afneil That’s the bloody point. America first. Israel first. Strong independent nations something we lost after Margaret Thatcher. The Crown as it is today is part of the globalist agenda. Did you not hear Charles’s speech to Congress this week🤦♀️
English
President Trump has just notified Congress that the Iran war has “terminated”. He increasingly lives in a world of his own. Every week the Strait of Hormuz remains closed takes us closer to global economic recession.
English
@JanetWestern @afneil Who would not want to fawn over them? True patriots. Traitors to the Crown (that includes America) and strangers with foreign customs and languages (that includes Israel) will not help us and are not our friends.
English
@ConsiderElwin @afneil Tbh the state the UK is today who would not want to fawn over them.

@JanetWestern @afneil We shan't restore Britain by fawning on America and Israel.

@AaronBastani The structural problem is the presence of non-Britons.
English
This will keep happening. Because we have a series of major structural problems in Britain.
So, naturally, the police and political establishment want to talk about art installations and the…Green Party.
They are not serious people.

Axel Rudakubana, the Southport murderer, took a knife into school more than 10 times. He was found, by two police officers, with a knife on the bus (nothing happened). He even called childline telling them he wanted to kill people. He was referred to PREVENT. Three times. Nothing happened. Then he went on a killing spree. People can talk about ‘culture’, ‘identity’ and all the rest of it. But that seems to miss something quite basic: this is what happens when the state effectively lets young men run around with knives, without consequences. And what were the consequences for PREVENT? Because it clearly doesn’t work.

@ClarkeMicah Is freedom only 'control[ling one's] destiny'? Perhaps might it include methods to free one's waking hours from time dedicated to travel?
English
2/2 @southjdownsrider The other thing that is obvious is that Noddy, in his shiny little car, does not 'control his destiny' any more than a hamster controls its destiny in its wheel . The freedom of the automobile doesn't and can't exist.
SDR@Southdownsrider
@ClarkeMicah @Dead_as_a_dodo It's not 1957 mate. People like the privacy of a car, the nice warm heater or the AC, the music player and being in control of their destiny. You seem to be stuck in a sort of Tom Browns school days era, going to school by village steam train.

@moveincircles "Welsh" specifically referred to Romanised Celts (or Celts under Roman rule), which is why it was not applied to the Picts or Irish.
English
I knew the root of the English word for "Wales" was a Saxon one meaning "Romans", or just "foreigners", but I didn't know until today that the Welsh word for Wales - Cymru - means the exact opposite, "fellow-countrymen"
English
@ConsiderElwin @Landeur Maybe you need to learn a bit more about history.
The reason Celts possess Ginger hair and freckles to begin with is a genetic mutation from the earliest Celts interbreeding with the 'indigenous' dark skinned populations of Britain.
Both anthropology and genetics prove this 🤦♂️

Met some very thoughtful, affable Welsh Reform supporters last week. They’d find this revolting I imagine. Take your vote seriously. Left, right. People have to earn it.

There are so many great things about taking the train in Japan but the total and utter silence - no one playing TikTok out loud, no one having a phone conversation- is a nice reminder that a better society is possible.

@martincowa4230 @afneil Haha, 12.5% is the max in Britain - back in 2013 you'd be lucky for anything, and never over 10%. Well done, Mr Neil.

@afneil 15% is the bare bones minimum for table service in the U.S.
That’s what u paid.
The minimum.

This true story has generated a lot of untrue responses from the usual know-nothing Twitter pontificators. So here’s the full story.
It’s 2013, I hosted a dinner for US contacts and journos in NYC in a rather fancy, expensive restaurant owned by a friend. It was a thank you. Not on expenses. I’m forking out — happily. Good people.
A great fun dinner but the bill came to circa $1,000. Gulp. I paid by card and slipped the waiter, a young aspiring actor (as they tend to be in NY), $150 cash. I thought that was quite generous. Especially $150 in 2013 prices. More like $200+ today.
Anyway he quickly returned and asked loudly and aggressively if there was a problem. No, I said. All good. Well, he said the tip was ‘bit light’. By now the whole table was looking at me and him.
I panicked and bunged him more dollars. He departed without a word of thanks.
On the way home my partner saw I was fuming with the embarrassment, almost humiliation. Call the owner, she said. I did. I didn’t ask him to fire the waiter but said it was an embarrassing/humiliating experience in front of colleagues and I doubt I’d go back to his restaurant. Perhaps he could have a word.
I learned later he fired him because he had something of a trackrecord in this matter.
I lost no sleep over that even if it wasn’t my aim. Ever since I’ve taken no nonsense from aggressive NY waiters. I’m from Paisley and can give as good if not better than I get. One waiter who subsequently complained about his 20%(!) tip found it cut to 10%.
Tips are war in NY restaurants. Stand up for yourself. Don’t be mean but don’t fall over in embarrassent when they behave badly. And please don’t import this culture from USA to dear old Blighty. End of.
