@mask1 @RobbieRinder What are you saying here?

@RobbieRinder Perhaps have a word with The Times who seem to be generating the most antisemitic of cartoons

On Carnaby Street last night, a kid on a bike cycled up, saw it was me, looked friendly at first then offered up his favourite “lyric”: “Heil Hitler.” I wasn’t sure whether to share this. I hadn’t experienced that personally before. The most striking thing: I wasn’t shocked. No threat. No anger. Not a victim. Just: what has he been taught Hatred is learned. We are not defined by it. We answer it by what we teach.

@SamaHoole Oh! That might be why, on the odd occasion we get chippy tea, I’m always disappointed! None taste as good as I remember!

Chips fried in beef dripping were a different object to what passes for a chip today. Walk into a Whitby chippy in 1978. The fryer has been on since 11am. The fat in it is beef dripping, held at 180 degrees by a man in a white apron who has been frying chips since he was fifteen. There are no seed oils in the building. The idea would not occur to anyone. Thick-cut Maris Pipers, ninety seconds in the dripping. Dark gold at the edges, fluffy inside, crisp in a way that sets your teeth against them. Salt. Vinegar. Paper. Two bob. You eat them walking home along the harbour wall. The chip tastes of the chip and also of something underneath the chip, something deeper, something you don't have a name for because you are nine and nobody names it, it is just what chips taste like. That taste was beef dripping. By 2002, 90% of British chippies had switched to rapeseed, palm, or sunflower oil, on the advice of public health officials citing research since quietly retracted. A stable saturated fat used for ten thousand years, swapped for an industrial oil invented in 1911, oxidised at fryer temperatures for twelve hours a day. A seed-oil chip is lighter, flatter. The crust doesn't hold. The flavour stops at the potato. No deeper note. No roast beef on a Friday. Ask a British person under thirty what chips are supposed to taste like and they will describe, with complete sincerity, the chip they have always eaten. A chip their great-grandfather would have considered a practical joke. They cannot miss it, because the reference point was removed from the national palate before they were born. A handful of chippies still fry in dripping. The Magpie in Whitby. A few survivors in Yorkshire, Lancashire, the Black Country. Go. Drive. Queue. Eat them standing up, out of the paper. You will understand, in one bite, what was taken. The cow is still in the field. The suet is still at the butcher. The fryer could be switched back tomorrow. A whole country forgot what a chip was.

@realpfp @piersmorgan It’s beyond ridiculous that you see piers Morgan as left

This has gone down very badly with many of Trump’s biggest cheerleaders. He seems to be on a mission to piss off absolutely everyone, for reasons that are beyond my understanding given his current approval numbers.

@mech_aviation @DrNeilStone This is what happens when you watch incessant Hollywood versions of American exceptionalism.

@DrNeilStone Your ass would be speaking German if it wasn't for us.

I'm British Here we spell it medical licence And we've been using this language longer than you have

@DMFT_ @krassenstein I guess part of the answer lies in the definition of improvement.

Why are you so worried about an improvement to the White House that facilitates state events that won't even be completed in time for Trump to use it? Dems and Rep presidents will have a safe comfortable area to hold official events instead of on the grass. Ridiculous case of TDS on full display.

BREAKING: Judge blocks Trump White House ballroom project!!!

@jamesyjamz @DrNeilStone I’m not sure that works? Not knowing all causes doesn’t mean anything could be a cause. Blood type has no plausible pathway to my falling over a lot.

@DrNeilStone Just playing devil's advocate here, but is there a list of things that have been scientificially proven to cause autism?

It's not whether I *believe* that vaccines cause autism or not It has been scientifically proven that they don't

@ZackPolanski This is one of those times where this sort of personal comment should be kept to yourself. Focus on the events/facts, and sound like a statesman not a twitterer.

Starmer's attempt to play both sides has failed. He tried to look tough on Trump, but failed to condemn the illegal attack. Then he let US bombers pit stop here. He's dragged us into the war, and still managed to damage our reputation with the USA in the process.

@RMaltese3 @DrNeilStone @stkirsch It’s true. I fell over due to badly twisting my ankle. I’d just had coffee too! Coincidence? I think not.

@DrNeilStone @stkirsch I drank a coffee literally five minutes before I came down with the flu. Explain to me how coffee does not cause the flu!?!

Dr. Neil Stone @DrNeilStone assures us that vaccines don't cause autism. So I asked him to explain the case of the McDowell triplets who remain severely autistic 10 years after their vaccine shot (they were perfectly normal before the shot and regressed within HOURS). According to Dr. Stone, it wasn't the vaccine. OK, then what caused it??? Dr. Stone refuses to answer that simple question.

@ATvixlis @Heavy_Boab His tics target everyone in the worst possible way.

Here’s John’s post. A man with Tourette’s thanking people for their support after a week of global humiliation. A man apologising for hurt he never intended, while refusing to apologise for having a neurological condition he cannot control. The continued harassment of him by Hollywood for his condition is sickening. These are the same multimillionaires who scream about inclusion from red carpets and podiums, who clap for the sanitised movie version of disability, but recoil when confronted with the real, involuntary reality of it. They invited a man with Tourette’s into the room and then acted shocked when Tourette’s did what Tourette’s does. That’s not inclusivity. That’s hypocrisy. Johnny has shown more integrity and decency in one Facebook post than that entire virtue soaked industry managed all week.

@Ricky4238894065 @SergeCostab @GuzKhanOfficial Why are you deciding who is a real Muslim and who isn’t one?

@SergeCostab @GuzKhanOfficial Its ironic that a real muslim would agree with me.

So apparently the Muslims are backward heathens, but the majority of them just voted in a brilliant woman in a party led by a gay Jewish brother…? You lot need to pack it up and move on. Nobody is believing your deep state shills like Tommy or faceless racists. REAL LIFE 🩵🫱🏾‍🫲🏻

@Ricky4238894065 @EdgeOTI @GuzKhanOfficial Not true. They have many scholars of the Koran and even they don’t all agree.

@EdgeOTI @GuzKhanOfficial BUT, the the point is, muslims do think god wrote it. Therefore, they must agree with it, cant change it, and cant even question it. And you know full well what it says about homosexuality and jews in there. So your "nuance" point is absolute bollocks.

@Ricky4238894065 @EdgeOTI @GuzKhanOfficial You know that, just like the bible, people interpret the Koran?

@EdgeOTI @GuzKhanOfficial Chedge lad, the fact you used nuance when talking about muslims shows you dont actually know what a muslim is. Simple question. What is the koran? You're about to look very silly son.

@jenn26265 @NadimJBaba @kokeshimum Where’s that data please?

@NadimJBaba @kokeshimum I don’t know the exact number. The impartial observers estimated a rate of 12% in the votes they observed being cast.

So Farage wants us to believe that Muslim women were desperate to vote for Matt Goodwin but were coerced by their husbands into voting for a party led by a gay Jew instead? Fucking hilarious.

@jenn26265 @kokeshimum You’ve nearly got it…..

@kokeshimum Totally irrelevant. If they were going to vote for the Greens, why did they need to be accompanied into the voting booth?

@DandyDuck118582 @Andres_Stones @facetedcarapace Yes but were the other presenters etc told?

@MirandaMcCorm17 @Andres_Stones @facetedcarapace They did. When the introduced him the public were told he had tourettes.

how did so many never meet someone with Tourette's syndrome and already get past this. a man used to scream "FUUUUUUCK!" in the grocery store when I was a kid and my dad was just like "that's just Tourette's Dave, he has a condition" and I understood as a kindergartener.

@FMajorProducer @RyanMullarkey1 @BBCNewsnight He can’t stop himself the WORST thing HE CAN IMAGINE SAYING. That’s how his brain works.

@RyanMullarkey1 @BBCNewsnight You're an idiot. Along with the others making excuses. Losing the ability to constrain your thoughts is a condition I recognise. However, if you're thoughts are still inherently racist, then that's on you not your condition. Twat

"Tourette's is not an 'excuse' it is a medical, neurological condition... there wasn't any premeditation behind what John said." Greg Storey, friend of John Davidson, describes how Tourette's causes "totally and utterly involuntary outbursts" as seen at the Baftas. #Newsnight

@FMajorProducer @kingkane @BBCNewsnight He said I’ve got a bomb to airport security. Did this mean that subconsciously he wants to blow a plane up?

@kingkane @BBCNewsnight You're making my point you twat. HE SAID FUCK THE QUEEN TO THE QUEEN NOT TO HIS MOTHER. SO CALLING BLACK PEOPLE THE N WORD MEANS IT'S HIS SUBCONSCIOUS. FUCK YOUR EXCUSES...

@tonykeyz28 @stuey_drake @benmcbean They aren’t acceptable. But neither is preventing someone with Tourette’s from being out in any situation where their Tourette’s might offend

@stuey_drake @benmcbean Why do Michael and Delroy have to have slurs thrown at them? If you’re saying that’s OK just because someone has a disability then we fundamentally disagree on what’s acceptable in society. I don’t think slurs are acceptable at any time. More or less in a public place

Let’s have it right. #bafta #bbc #tourettes #reality #benmcbean

@rocketman2834 @mypalal What would happen is he would tic it more.

@mypalal Yeah me too,but I need delroy and Micheal present,looking right in his face to see what happens lmao

I, for one, want to hear John Davidson apologize publicly about saying the N-word on a global stage. Let me be clear... not written... he needs to hold a press conference and explain it live, unedited.

@bersekovich @caramelcolored To be fair they will get to feel real racism everyday and I wouldn’t wish it on anyone.

@caramelcolored I hope they choke on that apology. I wish the worst for them. Hope they get to feel real racism just to remember that there is a difference with intent or abscence of it.

BREAKING: John Davidson states he and his team DID reach out directly to Linda, Jordan and Beachler to apologize. Is the ableism and hate mob going to stop targeting him? I can GUARANTEE you they won’t stop.
