Mesolithic Magpie

@loicl @JohnABrereton @JMPSimor @giles_fraser I remember people saying the same about Trump, Brexit, Euro crisis etc.

This is why some of us gave up decades of Labour commitment and voted Tory.

@Ramble14 @michael_merrick Because trying to link spousal praise to differences in pay is unhinged

Patriotism, like mateship, is about solidarity. It’s about what we owe each other as citizens.

@strutcakes @shaun01976 @donaldtuskEPP Cos no-one migrates, not now or ever without being in the EU???

@shaun01976 @donaldtuskEPP What a great idea. Except Brexit and with it ending of freedom of movement, literally takes away that right. You thick simpleton.

@HollyBrigstocke @donaldtuskEPP Do feel free to go - the French police, Spanish political trials, Maltese car bombs, Danish xenophobia, German austerity and Greek poverty await

@EuroscepticAl @MichaelJGollop @donaldtuskEPP Funny how they're always outdated when they don't suit them! Not like when Bercow invoked a Civil War precedent to obstruct the Bill, that was common sense!

@MichaelJGollop @donaldtuskEPP Outraged constitutional arrangements like democracy and the rule of law you mean? I'm glad we are keeping them. They aren't compatible with membership of the EU which allows unelected people to make our laws in secret, and set them aside when it is politically expedient to do so.

@realpaolathomas @burkeyavfc @Socialistdawn @donaldtuskEPP Cos no-one ever migrated anywhere before 1992

@burkeyavfc @Socialistdawn @donaldtuskEPP No we can’t. You’ve stolen our freedom of movement.

@HuntedTeamNick @oflynnsocial Omg, so funny, so clever

My piece on the House of Bishops and sex: When is the Church going to move into the 21st century, says PATRICK O’FLYNN shr.gs/MuQe00g

@SheriffFord @oflynnsocial Perfectly worded

@JMPSimor @SeveIron @giles_fraser Off you pop then.

@SeveIron @giles_fraser What is the problem. Better now to be a Polish citizen than a British citizen.

@FrankMcG_1 @R3M386 @stallum20 @JMPSimor @giles_fraser No they don't.

@jharphamtrees @GeorgeMonbiot Shocker

@MesolithicM @GeorgeMonbiot The dataset has been lifted from an outdated research paper that’s had to issue corrections for misinterpretation of figures.

In trying to reduce the impact of our diets, we tend massively to over-emphasise #FoodMiles, and under-emphasise the type of food we eat. Even if you shipped bananas 6 times round the planet, their impact would be lower than local beef and lamb. ourworldindata.org/food-choice-vs…

@TheLastPersont2 @bbcquestiontime @TrevorPTweets That merely shows how skilled the paramedics and surgeons are at saving lives, doesn't show anything about the situation on the ground.

@bbcquestiontime @TrevorPTweets There is a crumb of comfort - fatal stabbings in the UK fell 20% in 2019 according to figures released today. However overall knife crime increased... #bbcqt

“It is young black men who are dying and by the way it is young black me who are doing the killing” @TrevorPTweets says to tackle knife crime we must help young people in these communities, rather than arguing about spending on police #bbcqt

“If you want walking to be a significant form of transportation, you have to put people and destinations close together. Willpower alone cannot turn walking into a reasonable means of getting around.” — David Owen, Green Metropolis

Charming reconstruction of the famous Fountains Abbey in Yorkshire. Founded by 13 monks in 1133. Monastic architecture is easily one of the high points of Civilization. Not shown here is the 11 ft high stone wall that encircled its 70 acres.

@8kingofthecats8 @GreenFox1023 There is a legal dispute atm in the UK between the abortion laws and disability advocacy groups. The law is v relaxed about aborting disabled babies and sadly in the case of the cleft palate that was the only thing wrong.

ABORTION 👏 IS 👏 A 👏 RIGHT 👏

@draconarius21 And the US?

@snuhmoment @Trad_West_Art @_Tyrr_ @EternalEnglish If you're going to join an adult conversation try and act like one.

This what the great German city of Dresden looked like before the maniacal allied bombing campaign of WWII. Is there a single European soul who would look upon this and not think that this is beautiful. cultured, harmonious and eternally European?
