I’m a face of Britain

@valleysqueenx @kevevs1908 So you have done a poll to ask the population of Wales? If not, it’s your opinion not a Country’s

@kevevs1908 Wales.

Just because I said “Wales stands with Palestine” doesn’t mean I’m speaking on behalf of every Welsh person. Wales has a long and proud history of welcoming people fleeing war and persecution. We’re a nation of sanctuary, and there’s nothing wrong with that. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇵🇸🇺🇦♥️

@Gabbar0099 Who rapes girls & boys? Make women second class citizens? Flies planes into buildings? Packs backpacks with explosive & nails and waits for kids coming out of a Concert? Behead an off duty soldier on the street? Kill & rape young people enjoying a music festival? Shall I go on?

Who started World War I? Not Muslims. Who started World War II? Not Muslims. Who killed about 20 million of Australia’s indigenous people? Not Muslims. Who dropped the nuclear bombs on Nagasaki and Hiroshima in Japan? Not Muslims. Who killed more than 100 million Native Americans in South America? Not Muslims. Who killed about 50 million Native Americans in North America? Not Muslims. Who kidnapped more than 180 million Africans as slaves from Africa, of whom about 88% died and were thrown into the oceans? Not Muslims. First, we must define terrorism or understand how terrorism is viewed by non-Muslims. If a non-Muslim commits a terrorist act, it is called a crime; but if a Muslim commits it, it is called terrorism. We must stop dealing with double standards.

@ARamblingRoyal Irrelevant

This is a tough one. Only one word? 😂 😈Egocentric 😈

@LairdOfThManor Brilliant

At the park this morning with my wife… the Lady of the Manor… taking a few deliberately idiotic photographs of ourselves, having a marvellously silly time and minding our own business, when a woman stormed over in a state of tremendous self-importance demanding to know why we had a camera whilst her children were nearby. One does rather miss the golden age when people experienced paranoia quietly! Before good breeding could fully restrain me, I replied, “My dear, you needn’t concern yourself. We make a point of avoiding photographs with unfortunate looking people in them.” I have seldom witnessed a human face cycle through outrage, offence and existential collapse quite so rapidly. The Lady of the Manor nearly asphyxiated trying not to laugh, which only added to the atmosphere beautifully. I suppose I ought to feel guilty. Tragically, I remain completely delighted with myself. 💙🎩

@benonwine Where’s the minus number?

Rate Keir Starmer’s performance as Prime Minister so far… 🇬🇧 Be honest. 1–10?

@hashjenni It’s not about getting to Gaza, they know they will get intercepted. So the lies are made up before hand. Let’s compare those people coming home to the released hostages from Gaza, shall we?

Israeli soldiers raped flotilla activists How the fuck is this not every single news outlet ?

@valleysqueenx You’ve done a poll have you of all the people in Wales to see if we stand with Palestine?

That’s because everything you say is full of misinformed hatred poured into your brain by Israeli propaganda. Wales stands in solidarity with Palestinians. There’s nothing wrong with that. Free Palestine 🇵🇸

@BraddrofliT Maybe just maybe, we were all ok with LGB, but the rest of the alphabet added & now we have to have a MONTH to celebrate. When is there a MONTH, to celebrate me?

Pride Month exists because LGBTQIA+ people spent generations being jailed, beaten, fired, disowned, denied marriage, denied healthcare, and treated like they were less than human simply for existing. It’s not about “special rights.”
It’s about equal rights, dignity, safety, and the freedom to live openly without fear. No one “chooses” a life that comes with bullying, discrimination, rejection, and violence just for attention. Pride exists because too many people still think hatred is morality.

@HRHLadyJ What a brilliantly written post! Plates will be smashing in California 🤣

After seeing a scone recipe posted for Memorial Day, I’ve got a few things to say. And frankly, they won’t be particularly polite. I’m immensely proud to call both the United Kingdom and the United States home. I grew up with traditions from both countries, still split my time between them to this day, and my own children are being raised with that same dual identity. I understand the humour, customs, etiquette, history and cultural differences on both sides of the Atlantic probably better than most people. Which is exactly why this sort of performative nonsense winds up me so much. Because one thing that absolutely doesn’t translate is turning Memorial Day into some twee Instagram aesthetic involving scones, jam and curated “holiday weekend” content. To my fellow Britons, and to others outside the United States who may not fully understand the distinction, Memorial Day isn’t the American equivalent of a bank holiday garden party. Nor is it interchangeable with Veterans Day. Veterans Day in November honours all who have served in the United States military. Memorial Day is entirely different. Memorial Day is for the dead. It exists to honour the men and women who never came home. Just like Rememberance Day. It’s a day rooted in grief, remembrance and sacrifice. That distinction matters. Because of that, my company does not operate on Memorial Day or on Remembrance Day in Britain. That’s always been a hard rule for me and it always will be. The day before, we make one simple memorial post expressing gratitude, remembrance and respect for those who gave their lives. We also explain that we’ll be turning off sales on our website and stepping away from social media entirely for 24 hours. No promotional posts. No sales pitches. No “holiday weekend specials”. The socials go silent because some things deserve dignity rather than being turned into marketing opportunities. Freedom is not free. And reducing remembrance to a sales opportunity has always struck me as profoundly tacky. Which brings me to the scones. Seeing an American woman posting a scone recipe for Memorial Day genuinely made my skin crawl a bit. Not because scones themselves are offensive, obviously, but because the whole thing felt painfully artificial and culturally manufactured. Scones are not associated with Memorial Day in the United States. At all. The average American family gathering for Memorial Day is far more likely to involve a barbecue, burgers, hot dogs or a cookout than cream tea. The eternal British debate over whether the jam or cream goes first isn’t exactly dominating conversation in American cities. And let’s be honest here. Scones aren’t inherently American in the first place. They’re deeply associated with British culture. Tea culture. Country houses. Cream teas. The sort of thing people in Cornwall and Devon still somehow manage to argue about with complete sincerity. Like pineapple on pizza. So when a certain someone, who spent less than two years in the United Kingdom before fleeing back to California at warp speed, suddenly starts presenting herself as the patron saint of jam and scones for an American Memorial Day audience, it comes across as painfully contrived. And somehow even more absurd when the recipe itself was shared in grams and Celsius. I use both systems myself because I live between both countries, so I understood it perfectly well. But the overwhelming majority of Americans bake in teaspoons, tablespoons, cups and Fahrenheit. Marketing a very British-coded scone recipe in European measurements for an exclusively American audience on an American military holiday is such a bizarrely specific level of inauthentic branding that it almost feels like parody. What made it even stranger was the timing of the whole thing. The day before, the Prince of Wales was on a national radio programme being asked, as Duke of Cornwall, how he takes his scones. He said he takes them the same way Queen Elizabeth II did. Then the very next day, up pops an entire promotional post centred around scones, complete with a recipe for Memorial Day. What a coincidence. You could almost admire the opportunism if it weren’t so embarrassingly obvious. Because that’s what this increasingly feels like. Not authenticity. Not cultural appreciation. Branding. Very calculated branding. And very confused branding at that. This is a woman who publicly distanced herself from Britain, criticised the Royal Family, the institution, the press, the culture and the people. She then almost immediately pivoted into selling tea, spreads, biscuits and aggressively British coded lifestyle products. All of it is framed under a title she and her children only possess because of the very institution she claims damaged her. You cannot spend years positioning yourself as oppressed by Britain while simultaneously using British aristocratic styling via a royal peerage to market candles and preserves to Americans on Instagram. At some point the contradiction just becomes ridiculous. Even stranger is the fact this pantry line is only available in the United States while borrowing almost entirely from British imagery and British culinary aesthetics. Tea. Biscuits. Jam. Scones. And now Memorial Day apparently. Which again makes absolutely no cultural sense whatsoever. Memorial Day isn’t a whimsical lifestyle mood board of hers. It’s not a backdrop for curated brunch content. It’s not an excuse to cosplay English tea culture because your brand identity remains fundamentally incoherent. And yes, I feel exactly the same way about all companies running “Celebrate Memorial Day with 20% off!” mattress sales, car dealership blowouts or whatever. The language itself is grotesque. I will not “celebrate” the deaths of American servicemen and women. I’ll honour them. I’ll remember them. There’s a difference and it matters. As President Ronald Regan once said “The American flag does not fly because the wind moves it. It flies with the last breath of each soldier who died protecting it.” The names of those who died serving their country should not be reduced to discount codes, influencer engagement bait or twee social media recipes designed to sell fruit spread. But perhaps that’s the real issue underneath all of this. Nothing ever feels sincere. Every cultural reference, aesthetic choice, every carefully staged lifestyle moment feels reverse engineered for branding purposes rather than rooted in any genuine identity. Which is why the whole thing lands with such a thud. As someone who genuinely loves both Britain and America, I find it exhausting watching someone who barely spent five minutes in the UK attempt to monetise a fantasy version of Britishness whenever it becomes commercially useful. Particularly when it’s attached to a day that is supposed to be about remembering the fallen. It’s tasteless. It’s opportunistic. And it’s entirely on brand for her and her business.

@jvcx213 Maybe if we didn’t have to put up with the daily “you had it so good” we’re paying for you” then we would

Why can’t British people leave this Oliver Twist mentality in the past. Like literally every few days someone comes online to tell us how they were surviving on bread and sugar water and we should all accept that standard of living today. SHUT UP

@hilltopjennifer I thought that was a fried egg in a bun

What fresh hell is this? Just when you thought Meghan Markle had run out of embarrassing ideas for her basic products… Behold her latest culinary crime: a hard, dry-looking scone - weirdly fashioned to look like a burger - overpowered by cream and oozing honey, of all things. 🤮 Even those ridiculously unnecessary flower sprinkles are trying to make a break for it. 😬 #AsEverAFail

@otokyo__ 🧯

Whats missing from this breakfast? 🍳

@canthelpmenow7 I don’t think they would laddie

Bloke. Nearly 40. With a pink hair clip

@Tellusdiselecti @Glinner Never a truer word spoken

@Londonb0rn @Glinner The world is a Barnams Circus these days.

It's not a problem if extremely short 'men' with kazoo voices go into the ladies. The issue is average-height men entering female-only spaces

@JHenryCDF I can’t imagine any women asking her partner to nip into men’s for a Tampax 🤦🏼‍♀️ poor explanation

@Londonb0rn Maybe they’re picking one up for their wife or their girlfriend if they were none in the women’s toilet. Men can still be gentlemen in the 21st-century.

“Plaid must focus on heath & educ ….. OH MY GOD TAMPONS IN A TOILET!!!!” “Plaid must sort out waiti…. THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH UNION FLAGS!!!” This is going to be a long 4 years with these lot as opposition. Keep up the good work of Reform by taking photos….in a toilet. 😳

@benjaminbutter Abuse?! What about the abuse to young girls up & down the Country, that this Government is ignoring!

Many men on the right exposed themselves as wanting to legitimise cruelty this week by celebrating the abuse of Rachel Reeves.

@Gaynotqueer1 Funnily enough, I never get mistaken for the opposite SEX

@YesCymru So he dropped the Independence waffle to get votes but quickly reinstates it

"The First Minister of Wales has said the UK is not a union of equals and vowed to press for a further devolution of powers. Speaking in the Senedd on Tuesday, Plaid Cymru’s Rhun ap Iorwerth said he expected Wales to be treated as an “equal partner” in discussions with the UK Government." 👉 nation.cymru/news/uk-is-not…

@PinocchPrincess They don’t look like scones, more biscuits, but when you’ve got to get a post out pretty damn quick…….

So much wrong with this!!! 1). William spoke about having scone, cream and jam only yesterday. So the insanely jealous sister in law just had to post a picture of a scone with cream and her version of "jam". 2) that's not jam. It's slop!! 3) who puts whipped cream into a jam jar to serve it? Yuck. Who wants to dip into a jar of cream that someone else has dipped into? 4) we do NOT serve scones like that here in the UK. You don't put the top half on the bottom half. You eat them separately. 5) why have a traditional English treat as a "memorial Day" thing.... That's just odd!!! In my opinion, that scone needs a dusting of icing sugar on it. Just no, you absolute loony toon jealous stalker witch!!
