@varbmosz @HaakonBjerke1 @RasmusJarlov @LindseyGrahamSC @POTUS Well done for winning the most stupid person I've ever met on X award - against considerable opposition. Look up "Cold War"

@LeRef5 @HaakonBjerke1 @RasmusJarlov @LindseyGrahamSC @POTUS Lol shut the fuck up. AmeriKKKa is the one that kept starting wars and Europeans eagerly helped. No more. You don't threaten and backstab allies and then start making demands. Fuck off.

Just spoke to @POTUS about our European allies’ unwillingness to provide assets to keep the Strait of Hormuz functioning, which benefits Europe far more than America. I have never heard him so angry in my life. I share that anger given what’s at stake. The arrogance of our allies to suggest that Iran with a nuclear weapon is of little concern and that military action to stop the ayatollah from acquiring a nuclear bomb is our problem not theirs is beyond offensive. The European approach to containing the ayatollah’s nuclear ambitions have proven to be a miserable failure. The repercussions of providing little assistance to keep the Strait of Hormuz functioning are going to be wide and deep for Europe and America. I consider myself very forward-leaning on supporting alliances, however at a time of real testing like this, it makes me second guess the value of these alliances. I am certain I am not the only senator who feels this way.

@GaryKThompson71 @BBCNews Good.

@BBCNews Work from home??? You better tell all the managers and directors of all businesses and companies in the UK that. They rescinded their WFH coronavirus pandemic policies already!

Drive more slowly and work from home to help ease energy crisis, IEA urges bbc.in/3Plc2GC

@consultantvick @BBCNews Yes. Fuck off you totalitarian.

@Pkjat340 @BBCNews Nobody. Because we are free people who don't want totalitarians deciding what we may or may not do

@BBCNews Remote work, slower speed, less air travelRemote work, slower highway speeds, more public transport, car-sharing, and smarter driving could quickly slash fuel use, according to the IEA, who wants governments to encourage such measures in a bid to cut oil demand.

@PendleWitch_ @BBCNews The government has sat in its hands and done fuck all. It's impossible to undermine it more than it's done to the country

Having read comments online and in the Daily Mail, it is clear that there are forces seeking to undermine our Govt in this time of crisis. There is a need for the Govt to give people clear guidance on the best actions they can take at the moment and not to be afraid of the conspiracy nuts. If they don’t give out guidance, there will be utter confusion. Bear in mind that some never watch the news nor have the faintest idea what is going on in the Middle East

@buzyizzy21 @PendleWitch_ @BBCNews Yes. Why are we pandering to Doomsday cultists

@PendleWitch_ @BBCNews There will only be confusion among the most dense of our population. All of us with common sense know what to do. Why are we pandering to the idiots?

@varbmosz @HaakonBjerke1 @RasmusJarlov @LindseyGrahamSC @POTUS Says the thick cunt who doesn't bother to look at where I'm based. And who is clearly about 12 years old because you don't remember the fucking Cold War when America had 400,000 troops in Europe to defend us.

@LeRef5 @HaakonBjerke1 @RasmusJarlov @LindseyGrahamSC @POTUS No they didn't, retard. Europe spent 70 years helping AmeriKKKa fight its fucking foreign wars. Europeans died for AmeriKKKa. AmeriKKKa is the only NATO member to activate Article 5, but even when AmeriKKKa didn't, Europe joined their fights. Fuck off, uneducated AmeriKKKan.

@Billeverhard @steffd62 @NJ_Timothy @Conservatives Stuck to hanging fucking monkeys. It's your intellectual level.

@LeRef5 @steffd62 @NJ_Timothy @JasonLo48554749 @Conservatives So you mean like the IHRA is used by the Israeli lobby seeing medical doctors being doxed and NHS using it to sack those who call out genocide.

David Lammy says judges can adopt the Government’s “Islamophobia” definition. It’s supposed to be non-statutory. But it’s clearly going to change the way the law works. That’s why we will scrap it.

@steffd62 @NJ_Timothy @Conservatives Because it's introducing a fucking blasphemy law without legislating. For one protected group only. That makes us a fucking dictatorship you thick fucker

@LeRef5 @NJ_Timothy @JasonLo48554749 @Conservatives So what if it does ?

@wisestreligion @NJ_Timothy You mean illegal immigrants

@NJ_Timothy Nick, you remember that you worked under Theresa May when she introduced a hostile environment for undocumented immigrants. Surely the right place for a hostile environment is in relation to supremacist, antagonistic foreign fundamentalists who are exercising control over us.

@steffd62 @NJ_Timothy @JasonLo48554749 @Conservatives If judges adopt it, it becomes part of the legal process you fucking idiot

My God how can Muslim, Black and Brown Tory Councillors,mps,Voters and stay in @Conservatives after this. The UK government is developing a non-statutory definition of Islamophobia/anti-Muslim hatred to tackle rising hate crimes. As of late 2025/early 2026, this working definition aims to help public bodies identify prejudice without becoming a legally binding law that restricts free speech or criticism of religion.  Key Aspects of the Proposed Definition Non-Statutory & Advisory:  The definition is not a formal law, but a tool for public bodies to measure and address anti-Muslim hatred. Focus on Anti-Muslim Hatred: Recent trends suggest a shift towards defining "anti-Muslim hatred" or "anti-Muslim hostility" rather than "Islamophobia" to avoid overreach, say BBC News articles and this article from The National. Free Speech Protection: The government emphasizes that the definition will not create "blasphemy laws by the back door" and must allow for the criticism of religious practices. Addressing Record Incidents: The move follows record levels of anti-Muslim hatred, with police-reported offences rising in 2024/2025.

@NLeesy @LiamHalligan Agreed. But that shouldn't mean Labour head further left

@LeRef5 @LiamHalligan Yes but the Polanski politics is driving the Labour left to be drift more and more left.

This story below reveals the true extent of Angela Rayner's cluelessness when it comes to economics, the public finances and financial markets. I say that not with glee - but deep alarm and regret. If this is really how the probable next Prime Minister of the UK thinks - betting markets put a more than 50% chance on leadership coup by June - then the ousting of Starmer/Reeves by Rayner (or Miliband) is likely to spark an instant spike in gilt yields, from their already elevated levels. Just the fact that Rayner has said what she has below will put yet more upward pressure on the market-driven borrowing costs – whatever the Bank of England says is these days mere mood – that drive the interest rates faced by firms and households. I have nothing against more social housing – on the contrary, the arguments in favour of building more are at the heart of my book "Home Truths", along with policy mechanisms that could get that done. But if you think that, in the current environment, hard-nosed international creditors do - or even should - give a monkey's about the "social benefits" of subsidised housing then you are utterly and dangerously deluded. Again, I say this in sorrow, not glee. I knew plenty of smart people at the top of successive Blair governments. The architects of New Labour – at least the Blairites – always made sure there were financially literate and market-savvy people in the room when big decisions were made. That was important back then - when the national debt Britain had to service was 35pc of GDP. Now – with the same metric pushing 100pc of GDP and Britain paying more than Morocco to borrow money – it is absolutely vital. It seems that there is no-one – NO-ONE AT ALL – near the top of today's Labour government who has the first clue about the realities of public accounts and global finance. These are – once again – NOT tribal or party-political points, but statements of cold fact ....

@NLeesy @LiamHalligan Polanski is a distant risk. Rayner and imminent one.

@LiamHalligan If you want to call out economic fantasy focus on Zack Polanski and the Greens.

@Martin_Moran_ @LiamHalligan We know that HMT is economically illiterate too. Likewise BofE

@LiamHalligan Treasury did, and may still, encourage impact analyses to include 'wider social benefits'. However, these benefits were not measurable. Rather, standard assumptions were applied to outcomes that were measurable. This is way too dubious to influence Govt spending.

Europe spent 70 years spending a miniscule amount on defence whilst America shouldered the bill for keeping it safe. We used to have a recognition of mutual interest in dealing with rogue regimes. Now we seem happy to say "oh this is America's war" as if we're happy for rogue regimes to develop nuclear weapons with the sole aim of wiping another country off the map - and slaughtering its own people along the way". If that's Europe's new "moral compass" then I don't blame America for walking away and leaving us to our fate

@LeRef5 @HaakonBjerke1 @RasmusJarlov @LindseyGrahamSC @POTUS AmeriKKKans haven't done any heavy lifting. They've started wars, and then Europeans have loyally joined in and helped. This is not AmeriKKKa saying "we're not doing this anymore". This is Europe saying it. Europe has remained loyal, and has helped whenever something happened.

@GabrielaBota2 @Suewilson91 I agree. That's my point - people who want to rejoin claim they would be

@LeRef5 @Suewilson91 I don't think those old terms would be on offer.

Spain, Finland, France - EU countries are opening the door wider. We'd be even bigger fools than we already are if we didn't accept the invitation with open arms.

@GabrielaBota2 @Suewilson91 I know. But there are plenty who deny this would be the case and say we could just revert to our old terms.

@LeRef5 @Suewilson91 The terms of joining the EU are publicly available. Everyone can read them.

@GubsMcintyre @seledka_vodka Meanwhile we stopped paying any attention to that hundreds of years ago

@seledka_vodka Meanwhile the bible says

Excellent article. Here are a few builds. First, it must be pointed out that Islam - not some extreme variant, but bog-standard orthodox Islam as preached and practised in Britain - rejects any notion of integration or ideological compromise with other religions or cultural norms that contradict its edicts. The doctrine of al-wala' wal-bara' commands loyalty to the faith and disavowal of non-Muslim ways. The Prophet's own hadith warns that "whoever imitates a people is one of them." Muslims are expected to reject man-made structures and "innovation," and to accept the barbarities of the Quran and the Hadith as divinely sanctioned prescriptions for how life must be lived. No radical fringe is required to reach these conclusions. The mainstream canon gets you there on its own. Second, when Muslims form a majority in a territory, they are divinely instructed to impose Islamic rule on everyone. If you belong to the "people of the book" - another Abrahamic faith - you may be permitted to live, provided you pay a poll tax (jizya) to the Muslim rulers in a state of, as the Quran specifies, humiliation. Ibn Kathir's commentary on this verse is unambiguous: the jizya exists to demonstrate the subjugation of non-Muslims to Islamic authority. If you are a Hindu, Islam considers you a pagan, and even under the most lenient schools of jurisprudence, your status under Islamic rule is one of codified subjugation - discriminatory taxation, legal inequality, prohibition on building temples, inability to testify against a Muslim in court, and periodic persecution. The "tolerant" version of Islam is tolerance in the sense of "we will permit you to exist under conditions we dictate," not tolerance in the sense of equal standing before the law. As for leaving Islam, the Prophet's instruction is plain: "whoever changes his religion, kill him." All four Sunni schools of jurisprudence agree. Abu Bakr's wars against apostates were fought within a year of the Prophet's death. The only reason we are not all living under these arrangements is that Muslims are - for now - a minority in Britain. Third, public Islamic prayer is, as Nick says, political - and has been since the Prophet's time. Islam does not recognise a distinction between religious and political life. The Friday sermon was historically the platform from which caliphs proclaimed authority and issued edicts. The call to prayer is prescribed to be heard by the community. The separation of church and state is a uniquely Reformation-driven Western achievement, and Islam explicitly repudiates it. Communal public prayer in a non-Muslim land is therefore an assertion of presence, of dominance, and of rejection of the norms of the host nation - whether every individual participant intends it as such or not. Fourth, we owe precisely zero explanations for why we resent this. Zero. We do not have to be rational about it. We do not have to draw comparisons with other religions. Any explanation we give is the right one, because it is our land, and we govern it as we see fit. But I will give you my reasons. While I am an atheist and regard all religion as a collection of mostly rubbish - and religious belief as a species of derangement - Britain's culture and values have been steeped in Christianity. This includes our laws, which are inseparable from our culture. We may not be as Christian as we were fifty years ago, but anyone born in this country who was not shielded from it (as a great many Muslims are, thanks to their parents) will have absorbed some of Christianity's gifts into their cultural DNA. Islam is the antithesis of all of this. Its canonical texts prescribe the striking of disobedient wives, value a woman's testimony at half a man's, mandate amputation for theft, flogging for fornication, and stoning for adultery. Its most authenticated hadith collections contain explicit antisemitism - including a prophecy that Muslims will hunt and kill Jews at the end of times, with even the stones and trees calling out to betray those in hiding. It is violently hostile to other faiths, to non-belief, and to apostasy. It rejects secular democratic rule as a matter of doctrine. It has resisted reformation for fourteen centuries. And it has produced decades of relentless terrorism - against us and, by an even greater margin, against fellow Muslims. From the Algerian civil war to the sectarian slaughter in Iraq, from Boko Haram to the Taliban, from the Peshawar school massacre to the Manchester Arena bombing, the body count is staggering, and the majority of the dead are Muslim. The violence is structural. It is doctrinal. Western foreign policy did not create it. Islam is foreign to us. It is completely and utterly repulsive as an ideology. And the reason I happen to have Muslim friends, and have got on exceptionally well with Muslim colleagues, is that they were never hugely religious.

@Elliottpluto @Jenny_1884 @StevensSamson He's as full of woke bullshit as his da

@Jenny_1884 @StevensSamson We need Prince William and Princess Catherine

The fact that King Charles never speaks up for the UK Citizens only goes to show we don’t need a monarchy anymore because if they don’t care about us then we certainly don’t care about them anymore.
