@ukhomeoffice I think you’ll shut this down as soon as your stats start to show an uncomfortable truth.

We will halve knife crime within a decade. Knife crime hotspots will see a surge in police patrols, knife arches and Live Facial Recognition, to catch violent criminals.

@werwolfenstein I’d be willing to to bet one of us has kids and it ain’t you.

@Cynical_Dave_II @MarkusStei21312 @Rothmus Sure thing there SIMP.

@LaydenEdward @askaya Tolerance means putting up with something you don’t like. If you liked it, you wouldn’t be tolerating it, it would just be.

If people are free to be gay other people are free to like it or not like it. Freedom is a two way street and people will dislike you for all sorts of reasons, your football team, religion, nationality, sexuality etc. We are all different and we don't all like each other it has always been thus.

Hey men, how true is this?

@WizzyBone01 We don’t need to tolerate cry bullies demanding our money. They are scroungers.

@GMB @ZiaYusufUK Listening to this guy and reform makes me puke. It’s entirely impossible to visa ban the countries demanding reparations. It will collapse the commonwealth and most importantly the British economy. But I understand the real fear is England will go bankrupt if reparations hit

'Our policy is crystal clear,' says @ZiaYusufUK as Reform UK pledges to block visas for countries that demand slavery reparations.

@andrewdaw36 Why do you want to give all your money to corrupt foreign officials in Africa?

@LBC So he will attack countries in the commonwealth I am sure the palace and king will be very happy what a fucking joke yusef is he is unelected hack who has no right to say what we do or don’t do

Reform UK said it would put an end to visas for anyone from countries which demand reparations from the UK because of slavery. lbc.co.uk/article/reform…

@ingaffatape The goal isn’t to “satisfy” young people. It’s to prevent crime and antisocial behaviour.

@Cynical_Dave_II I mean what kind of evidence would there be? A satisfaction survey from young people?

I admittedly don't have a lot of first-hand experience in this area but do these youth clubs do anything useful? Has there ever been any evidence that they decrease crime? There's about a million of them and yet I can't for the life of me work out what they actually do.

@ingaffatape Yes, but do we have any evidence they actually do that?

@axiochrono theyre a third space + place for young people who have nowhere else to go - a place to do homework, relax and have your life enriched in a way that other people might just get at home

@MarkusStei21312 @Rothmus If you want to have a happy marriage, there will be times when you need to humour your wife, even though you know she’s talking complete bollocks. You can be right, or you can be in a happy marriage. Pick one.

@Rothmus It identifies if men can be manipulated I.E. their tolerance to being gaslit to get pussy.

@UKLabour We can’t give out more in benefits that we take in tax. The growth isn’t there, you are impoverishing our children you insane people.

From today, the two child limit is lifted. That means 450,000 children will no longer grow up in poverty.

@LBC That will fix it! …lol

@BBCNews Is hat the same teachers union that said it would be bringing leftwing politics to the classroom to combat reform? Yeh, we don’t care what the commie Fabians think. We can see them now for what they are.

Teachers' union warns of 'masculinity crisis brewing' in schools bbc.in/3O0pory

@NOBLEINTHENORTH @make_england @wesstreeting I’m an atheist, and I’d rather see the Christian one. At least that aligns with my cultural background.

@make_england @wesstreeting Half the country is atheist, so are 71% of 18-25yr olds. No one cares.

It would be nice if all the people outraged by Muslim prayers in Trafalgar Square shared this wonderful post about the Passion in the square today. On my way to church this afternoon, I saw local rabbis in Gants Hill and Muslims going for Friday prayers. This is 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿.

@bash487244111 You seem pretty keen on it regardless.

@Cynical_Dave_II That's a major reason for the objections to it

Reform UK Scotland has unveiled new election van adverts featuring an image of a small boat with asylum seekers on board. Worth noting Scotland has had no known small boat landings. @LBC | @LBCNews | @LBCNewsScot

@bash487244111 Importing more people causes housing shortages

@Cynical_Dave_II Housing I would say is the biggest obstacle. Child care and housing.

@OBTKSK0908 We don’t like it, but the cost of housing necessitates it for many people. I couldn’t have afforded a flat by myself, so I always had flatmates.

イギリス人に聞いてみたい！ 僕は日本人で、イギリスに来てもうすぐ2年。働いていてもシェアハウス暮らしが当たり前なこの状況を、イギリス人はどう感じてるんだろう？ 日本だと大学卒業後は一人暮らしする人も多いから、この状況が少し不思議に感じるんだよね。

@bash487244111 Probably because we have easily accessible birth control and abortions, and a society which encourages people not to have children.

@Cynical_Dave_II @JackBMontgomery I don't know. Why is native birthrate so low?

@SandyofCthulhu Are you saying this literally started with Baldur’s gate?

Kobolds are evil mining fairies. The word “cobalt” is a cognate. “Kobold” Mines (i.e., that contained cobalt) poisoned and crippled the miners. Kobolds are related to other mining spirits like the Kneckers or Tommyknockers. But Gary Gygax made them the teensiest goblinoids and their legend has grown and evolved.

@drdina1 One might think it was intentionally designed to enrage ethnic populations which are not black, but I don’t think it is. I think it is literally that social justice people are too thick to understand what cause they support or why.

Quick question - I’m newly back in the USA. Why are all the people in TV ads black? Is it the same for everyone, or is there an algorithm that puts ads with black people on for me because I’m black? Weird. We’re only 13% of the US population. I watched a lot of British shows. You’d think 60% of their population was black based on their casting. Erasure is an insidious tactic.

@SamaHoole Very few human beings (especially men) tolerate such abject misery as you describe, because quite obviously life is optional when faced with undue adversity. You say nothing about his love for his wife or children, nor about the local wise woman who would knock his tooth out.

Robert is thirty-six years old. In 1247, this is not young. Robert knows this. His knees know this. His back has known this since approximately 1239. Robert lives in a village in Worcestershire with his wife Agnes, three surviving children, and two chickens he is not allowed to eat because the chickens produce eggs and the eggs matter more than the chickens. Today is a Tuesday in March. Robert will describe it as a Tuesday in March. The concept of a 'week' as a unit of leisure is not yet something Robert has access to. 5:00am - Up. Pottage on the fire. The pottage is oats, leeks, and some dried parsnip from the autumn store. There is a small piece of salted pork in it, approximately the size of Robert's thumb. It is mostly flavouring. Robert eats around it for as long as possible, then eats it, then thinks about it for the rest of the morning. 6:00am - Field. Robert works the lord's strip first, then his own. The ground is still cold. His boots have a hole. He has had the hole since October. He has packed it with rags. The rags are wet. They will remain wet until June. Robert is technically eating a plant-based diet. He is not doing this by choice. He is doing this because meat belongs to the lord, the deer belong to the king's forest, and the last man in this village who was caught with an unlicensed rabbit spent a period in the stocks that his family still doesn't fully discuss. 10:00am - Brief rest. Rye bread, hard. A small onion. Robert thinks about the pig that was slaughtered in November. He thinks about this often. The memory of fat is a specific and enduring thing when you don't have much of it. 1:00pm - Back to the field. Robert's average daily calorie intake is somewhere between 1,500 and 2,000 calories, the majority from grain. He is doing agricultural labour that modern exercise scientists would classify as extremely high intensity. He is, measurably, running on insufficient fuel. He is aware of this in the way that you are aware of things that cannot be changed: completely, and without drama. 4:00pm - Home. Agnes has made more pottage. It is similar to this morning's pottage. Robert eats it. Robert's teeth hurt. They have hurt for two years. There is no dentist. There is a barber-surgeon in the market town seven miles away. Robert cannot afford the barber-surgeon and cannot take the day from the fields. His teeth continue to hurt. 7:00pm - Sleep. Robert will be awake again at five. He is thirty-six. He will probably not see forty. The leading cause of death for men in his position is a combination of infection, injury, and the slow arithmetic of malnutrition across a lifetime. Somewhere, eight hundred years from now, someone will describe Robert's diet as "ancestral," "plant-forward," and "aligned with the earth." Robert would have a great deal to say about this. Robert does not have the energy.
