The Maj was hacked. Now he’s back. Go give him a follow. (If I see you in Aldershot Starbucks, I’m claiming a coffee for this)

Whoever wants to eat non-halal Indian food, please DM me for bookings or just walk in. The restaurant is not busy, as bulk fake bookings are made online to sabotage my business. Looking forward to see you

Because the bbc chose a male out of all the millions of women in the uk to talk about misogyny on women’s hour ! Sometimes I really think we’re through the looking glass! It’s hard not to think they now do it deliberately.. it’s as if they hate women

Too many are too polite to say this. But mass ritual prayer in public places is an act of domination. The adhan - which declares there is no god but allah and Muhammad is his messenger - is, when called in a public place, a declaration of domination. Perform these rituals in mosques if you wish. But they are not welcome in our public places and shared institutions. And given their explicit repudiation of Christianity they certainly do not belong in our churches and cathedrals. I am not suggesting everybody at Trafalgar Square last night is an Islamist. But the domination of public places is straight from the Islamist playbook. Trafalgar Square belongs to all of us. It is a national memorial to our independence and our salvation. Last night was not like a televised football match or a St Patrick’s Day celebration. It was an act of domination and therefore division. It shouldn’t happen again.

In the UK pubic spaces are secular. They are inclusive for all. The Adhan, however, is not. It is a specifically Muslim act of prayer. As such it is exclusive of members of other religions. Trafalgar Square is culturally and historically associated with Great Britain. It is not a designated place of worship, even less so for religion not associated with that hisory and culture. If you wish to pray, pray in your house or in a designated place of worship, such as a mosque. Furthermore, in Islam, it is considered more spiritually rewarding if you pray with others, at the appointed time and in a mosque. Trafalgar Square is not a mosque.

@Posted_to_BAOR 4 days BZ to Bagram. Got overhead Bagram and turned back to BZ via Doha(?) as there was a thunderstorm so we could not land. At BZ they provided 10 rooms for 159+ pax as we waited to try again 🙇🏻‍♂️🙇🏻‍♂️🙇🏻‍♂️

I’m not one to take the piss, but what was your PB flying with CrabAir? Mine: 2 weeks Jordan to Akrotiri. 5 days Kabul to Paderborn 3 days Hannover to Split Get your experiences down below……

Many thanks to the National Army Museum who unlike the @I_W_M haven’t succumbed to wokism…

@HappyHead74 Congratulations on your well deserved promotion

How cute is this? Feel chuffed really, here’s to many more years of service 🫡

@ccf_campbell Love this sort of CCF activity!

Senior NCOs Dinner was held at CCB on Friday 13 March and representatives from a number of units who have supported us throughout the year were also in attendance. Thanks to all involved

This is fantastic news. So short-sighted by the @I_W_M

Hi Mr healey below is my son who was mentioned in dispatches for services in afghan who saved many lives read his citation im sure its in his records. As a warrant officer2 in the royal engineers locating IEDs in afghan and after suffering a blue on blue in iraq was blown up 3 times in afghan (see his medical records) i have a copy he suffered from PTSD and whilst still serving in 2018 took his own life. Yet when i applied to have him recognised on the armed forces memorial it was rejected,(not due to service they said)The MoD witheld the above vital medical reports from his inquest a court of law. The army were treating him with sertraline with known side effects for mental health issues after his first tour of afghan, yet still cleared him for a second tour with medics saying to keep an eye on him. So what is my point here none of you politicians give a monkeys about our troops. You cannot even honour them. I served 22 yrs my son 23 yrs and was still serving but he was taken away from us aged just 39 with a young daughter. Correct this and i may have some faith if not then stop parading with our troops as if you care.

Retweet if you support Harman Singh Kapoor who was arrested in London for not selling halal food.

@Ed_Miliband @UKLabour So let’s increase the price of energy and drive up the cost of living for everyone then. Great plan. I increasingly feel as though I’m living in some sort of bizarre parallel universe where logic doesn’t exist.

We are pleased to announce that the National Army Museum will be the new home of the @LordAshcroft collection of Victoria Crosses and George Crosses. Find out more: nam.ac.uk/press/lord-ash…

Why did Faisal Islam not ask Miliband why we pay Norway up to £40 BILLION a year for oil and gas they drill from the North Sea? Norway’s oil fields are next to the UK’s. We are still using fossil fuels. Just not our own. Madness. @faisalislam

Another wonderful firm killed off by Reeves. They blame "escalating costs of employment in the UK", along with "soaring industrial energy costs".

🚨🇬🇧 NO UK NEW DRILLING LICENSES Energy Secretary Ed Miliband says granting licences to drill an abundance of high-quality oil on the doorstep in the North Sea wouldn't make a difference to people. Instead, the UK continue to buy oil from Norway who extracted out of the same North Sea. These people are truly insane - the fallout from the Middle East WILL be huge. Just like Germany Britain will be brought to its knees, through an entirely deliberately manufactured energy crisis.
