@paulabearthe2nd Are you doing capitals or countries? Capitals often have a very different vibe to other parts of the country.

I’ve been to Poland it felt Polish. 🇵🇱 I’ve been to Rome it felt Italian. 🇮🇹 I’ve been to Austria, it felt Austrian. 🇦🇹 I’ve been to Turkey, it felt Turkish. 🇹🇷 I’ve been to Portugal, it felt Portuguese. 🇵🇹 I’ve been to Spain, it felt Spanish.🇪🇸 I’ve been to London.

@locallink57 @terrychristian We just need to hope our full time officers stick with the task (Essex) and don’t leave due to working with reform. They are used to new unqualified people being given portfolios like lead member of children’s services and trying to guide and support. Hopefully we won’t see much

So now Reform have gained seats, can someone tell me what a difference to our everyday life its going to make? asking for the sane ppl amongst us.

@leighton_jon3s @locallink57 Need to get them written in Essex. No such local documents.

@locallink57 Depends your area but mostly council regenerations, pushing for improvements in failing children’s and adults services, reducing waste in financial spending in councils to improve areas etc. I’m not too clued up on it but read your local reform policies.

@meljomur @aldavidson1214 Faced many actively violent people have you Mel? Fucking arm chair experts. Twat.

@aldavidson1214 Bollox.

I agree. Since when is kicking someone in the head the way police apprehend people.

@BrianHTweed Any experience of taking down active stabber?

Outrageous behaviour from these officers.

@Mudkipstoat23 I think this arm chair criticism comes from someone who has never been involved in downing an active stabber and makes them look like a bit of a cunt.

Pretty sure we can all agree that tasing a cunt who’s stabbed a couple of people is proprtionate. But call me a wuss if you want, I reckon taking it in turns to kick him in the head when he’s down is, well, let’s just say “a bit much”.

@BladeoftheS FFS all you armchair experts. Ever been on the streets in uniform. Another total fool.

The civilian is the only one who tries to disarm him. The two Policemen are happy to just kick him in the head.

@SholaMos1 @metpoliceuk The good Dr is really showing ignorance to the reality of policing and comes over here as quite a fool looking for clicks. Good of MPS to bother to reply. The ongoing threat was not known till disarmed and restrained. Dr you ever heard of suicide vest or similar?

@metpoliceuk Dear @metpoliceuk are you saying using excessive force to kick a criminal in the head after tasering & incapacitating him is your training policy to 'detain'? Courage in apprehending a violent man who stabbed 2 Jews isn't in question. Excessive force AFTER apprehending him is.

Contemptible abuse of police power. Why kick him in the head several times when he’s already tasered & in your control? Should he not be alive to be brought to justice in a court of law for stabbing 2 Jews??!! Disgusting.

@Jacob_Rees_Mogg Don't forgive them, they know exactly what they do...a very unchristian thing, hassling people who are vulnerable. But you know that Jacob.

It is extraordinary that in a Christian country the police think it is an offence to preach the word of God outside a hospital.

@zarahsultana like many i suspect but we need clear evidence.

The whole country knows it: Keir Starmer is a barefaced liar.

@LucasGageX could it be just a story?

Noah's Ark: All plant life would die. Water covered Mt. Everest—where did it go? 8 humans + 2 of every kind can't explain genetic diversity. Occurred ~2300 BCE, yet China, Egypt & India weren't flooded. No room for all the food, water, and animals for ~1 year, 10 days.

A parasite that has been eating people for 3,500 years is about to be wiped off the planet. It infected 3.5 million people in 1986. Last year, it infected 10. And I have not seen it make a single front page. It is called Guinea worm. You drink contaminated water from a pond in a poor village. A year later, a worm up to three feet long starts coming out of your leg through a burning blister. There is no pill that stops it and no surgery that works. You wrap the worm around a stick and pull it out slowly, over days or weeks, inch by inch. If you rush, the worm breaks inside you and causes a fresh infection. Guinea worm is ancient. Preserved worms have been pulled out of Egyptian mummies from around 1000 BCE. The Ebers Papyrus, an Egyptian medical scroll from 1550 BCE, describes pulling the worm out with a stick. For three and a half thousand years, that was the best humans could do. Then in 1986, public health workers decided to kill the parasite off. They had no vaccine and no drug. What they had was cheap cloth water filters and a small army of volunteers willing to walk from village to village for decades. The plan was simple. Give everyone who drinks from a pond a cloth filter to strain out the tiny water fleas that spread the parasite. Then send volunteers walking house to house, year after year, teaching people how to use the filters and keeping anyone with an emerging worm out of the water. It worked. From 3.5 million cases a year to 10. Four were in Chad, four in Ethiopia, two in South Sudan. The other four countries where the worm used to be common, Angola, Cameroon, the Central African Republic, and Mali, had zero human cases for the second year in a row. The World Health Organization has already certified 200 countries as Guinea worm free. Six are left. The last hurdle is dogs. Cameroon had 445 infected animals last year and Chad had 147, so a lot of the remaining work is on animals, not humans. Strays get leashed, and crews treat ponds to kill any remaining worms. The campaign keeps watching until the number hits zero. When Guinea worm hits zero, it becomes the second human disease ever erased from the planet. The first was smallpox. It will also be the first parasite humans have ever wiped out, and the first disease ever ended without a single dose of medicine. Volunteers walked village to village with cloth filters for 40 years. Now a plague from the age of the pharaohs is about to be gone.

@physorg_com @NIST G is the real 42.

Gravity shapes the cosmos, yet its strength, big G, remains unusually hard to pin down: a decade-long torsion-balance measurement gave 6.67387×10^-11, 0.0235% below a 2007 result. @NIST doi.org/hbxgpf phys.org/news/2026-04-m…

@SpermCommander @dalmaer This is so mad an argument. There is an actual book that is said to be the word of god so it's obvious there is a god who made my eyes. Doh.

@dalmaer Another atheist denying omniscience to a benevolent creator while ascribing omniscience to himself assuming 100% certainty there are no tradeoffs in the octopus design. Marvelous. Here you go, dumb ass:

Funny how “God” worked it out for the octopus but not humans. Huh.

@NoKingCharlie I dont think she likes her "supporters". I wonder what she thinks she is actually doing, you know what is the output.

Nobody recognises #NapoleAnne as she weaves her way through well wishers in downtown London Town #abolishthemonarchy

@JuliaHB1 @BecklesCake92 A millionaire can borrow a book for free that my tax paid for when it could be purchased from a shop. Is that a drama for you as well as this issue? If not explain why not please.

Yes, if that apple could have been paid for by that kid's own parents which, in the majority of homes, it could be. These are not breakfast clubs for kids from means-tested low income families. A millionaire's kid gets "free" breakfast too. That's a terrible waste of taxpayers' money that could be better spent on genuinely needy children.

The breakfasts are not free. They are paid for by taxes - mostly on parents who feed their own kids. Most of these 10,000 children would have had a perfectly healthy breakfast at home without these clubs. This isn't about helping the poorest kids, it's the state taking over the basic job of parenting.

@KemiBadenoch @JamesCleverly @VictoriaAtkins @JuliaLopezMP @MelJStride @CPhilpOfficial @HuddlestonNigel At last doing something useful.

The Conservative Shadow Cabinet: cleaning up Britain 🇬🇧

@narindertweets Bet that was hard for Lee to keep from responding.

"So stick your little racist flags where the sun dont shine.." Lee Anderson called a "scumbag" by woman during Reform UK campaign in Lowdham

@KemiBadenoch Inflation up...Duty of BoE to control Inflation down...political parties policy responsible You really are awful Kemi, but keep it up it keeps you lot out.

Rachel Reeves wants you to forget: ⬇️Growth 0% in Jan, 0.1 % in Dec 📈Unemployment 5.2%, the worst since 2021 💵Inflation off target at 3.2% ⤵️Business confidence 5 year low Labour's bad choices made us more vulnerable to a global shock. Conservatives will get Britain working.

@KemiBadenoch Only one person did the killing and he has been dealt with. Professionals who tried to act were hampered by constraints the responsibility of the conservatives. Example prevent funding. As for a duty to act, morally yes but in law very limited.

Rudakubana's parents knew their son was stockpiling weapons and planning an attack. They chose silence. Three little girls paid with their lives. As I said yesterday morning, they should face the consequences of their actions, or indeed their inaction. If they escape criminal charges on a technicality, the Government should deport them. And if the ECHR stands in the way? That tells you everything you need to know about why we must leave.
