@Citizen_O_World @RanTeeThree Bloody hell. They must be desperate or think they can get away with it. How much cash (Vs prison sentence) does a petrol station hold now?

@RanTeeThree ours has been hit by armed robbery a few times

Just discovered that the petrol station at my local Sainsburys now only accepts payment via the window as they have closed the entire shop due to shoplifting.

@anglopjdst Saw it with the mob outside of a Dominic Cummings house during COVID.

If it’s in a ‘trendy’ part of London or whatever it will be easy for the Left to get people to come in on trains or the tube and get bodies to the site where it’s happening. The bigger it gets and the easier it is to get there will escalate the opposition exponentially

The problem with the Reform policy on detention centres is firstly that it will be costly building in areas with higher property values and secondly that doing it in Green constituencies will provide a vector for protests

@RobNoLastName They can do both. As we saw on QT, anti-Semitism will be blamed on something nebulous or ridiculous, like 'cost of living'.

Twitterarti going to be torn here. They want to waive their Palestine action flags but they also want to blindly support Labour. What will win out?

@MG6pii @MarcherReborn First time? Is it decent?

@MarcherReborn On the lager. It’s jolly hot here 🐫

‘Spoon me up Baby 🍺🍺🍺

@currybum87 @Danjsalt That sounds good. How long does it normally take? On average...

@Standardsforall @Danjsalt My Beko heat pump dryer can get things bone dry. It has a sensor, so runs until the clothes are all done.

If it's much better technology then it should naturally succeed

@Ally1889 @28virgo @GriftReport How did he manage to get them off?

@28virgo @GriftReport Did it to my uncles land cost him thousands to put all the fencing and gates back after he successfully got them off one Christmas

Travellers have brazenly started turning a protected 4-acre wildlife haven into a caravan site in Willows Green near Felsted, Essex, an army of around 30 vehicles and diggers descended under cover of darkness on Friday night using floodlights and generators, they ripped up vegetation, bulldozed protected habitats for great-crested newts, destroyed an ancient hedgerow and filled in a ditch with rubble to create a new access road, all of this happened just hours after Uttlesford District Council closed its doors for the entire three-day Bank Holiday weekend, locals woke up to the shocking devastation and say the council had been warned but took no pre-emptive action, by the time offices reopen on Tuesday the field could already be a fully fledged caravan park, residents are furious at the total failure to protect the pristine countryside and rare wildlife including albino fallow deer,

@Gav_Griffiths @thesundaysport Nah. No. No feeling sorry. He wouldn't for you. Doesn't for you.

@thesundaysport There’s a tipping point where you go from hating a PM to feeling sorry for them. I’m now there with Starmer. Next weeks going to be the worst week of his life and I don’t think he knows.

Someone's put a shilling in the Vapid-O-Tron 2000 this morning

@Ichi_Batt @defencewithac The list of topics in the book is quite the eye-opener

@defencewithac This book by Don Pentecost might open some eyes. archive.org/details/DonPen…

"knife disarms". As an ex-bouncer, one who has had experience face to face with knives, I assure you most of what you're thinking of from books and instructional DVDs is utter bollocks.

@hmaria916 @BurnsideWasTosh Perhaps worse than that. It's a middle class person's idea of what the working class should be, so they can be looked down upon.

@BurnsideWasTosh She’s middle class people’s idea of working class, whereas actual working class people despise her for the nasty grifter they know she is. It just shows the snobbery of the middle class - chav, slag = working class.

I am not sure that being an illiterate teenage granny tax evader without a maths GCSE should be First Lord of the Treasury. Some might call me a snob, but I really do think we need to stop this mawkish background lionisatio it demeans those from a similar background who arent slags, worked hard and havent received every penny from the State for their whole life.

@vicariousphil @XiaoVilin99 If only. I'd give good money to have the female tennis player scratching her arse on public walls. (Nice one for the time travel back to Athena!)

@Standardsforall @XiaoVilin99 Athena poster art

There are provincial museums full of Victorian tea sets covered in hand-painted, simpering field mice in smocks and bonnets which are less kitsch and played out than this.

@ThreeShiresHead @Landeur Chuckled at that. Sorry, I thought you didn't know what Spenny was like.

@Standardsforall @Landeur Fair, I've got a friend in Ashington enraged by what's happening too. How about we piss on the chips of liberal/Green/Lab voters in Neville's Cross or Akyley Heads instead?

This is your future. It doesn't matter that you live in a nice leafy neighbourhood.

@EdPentney47569 @Landeur You think? Where do you think is worst?

@Landeur You’re absolutely correct, but to be fair Spennymoor was already one of the worst parts of County Durham.

@ThreeShiresHead @Landeur Man, this place...'Spenny', is not leafy. It's left-behind Britain. Theives and druggies are plaguing this town in semi-rural Durham. Now this. 2 local new build estates have been bought to host overspill from London councils. They don't deserve this

@Landeur Good, the fuckers have got what's coming to them. Unpleasant as it is, I want suburban leafy leftist types terrorised by the barbarian 5th columnist migrants they welcome here whilst lecturing the rest of us about our supposed bigotry.

@FutureStylesTV @JustaDude2i He actually says he's not English, he's Irish

@JustaDude2i Why is it always them? Is this the British culture we are trying to protect?

Jet 2 - fight on plane, mid air. From Antalya - London Gatwick. Woke up and see someone getting punched in the face after being aggressive and shouting disrespectful & racial insults This was the aftermath, Pilot ended up landing the craft 2 hours into flight in Bulgaria to get local police to remove the passengers. Not the journey home I was expecting

@AppalledHamster They'll never concede..... If the Bukele option happens they'll benefit but still rail against it....

One for the "basically fine" brigade. Eventually you'll have to concede the bigots were right about virtually everything or you'll one day find yourself the target of these gangs. There's no domesticating the uncivilised, which is why we objected to importing them to begin w/.

@s8mb How hard is it to set up a 'Waking Watch' company? Like, genuinely.......

I know a guy whose building has been told to get a “waking watch” at a cost of £1,000/day split between 22 flats (£1,360/month each) because their fire alarm doesn’t work. People should be in jail for this insanity.

@Jamie154182 @lukas_ohl London? I remember being shocked at how much a London shop worker (women's clothes) was being paid, 20 years ago, compared to a North East wage.

@lukas_ohl Average pay in 2000 was 18.8k. There is no chance an 18 year old handyman was on 23k

People are starting to notice the wage compression, and they’re not happy.

@UnderSneege @LemanWalters Jet Set ftw

I know fuck-all about football but this punditry excerpt by Garth Crooks is seared into my mind as one of the funniest things I have ever read. I can visualise every detail of this happening to him. Why was this an official post on BBC Sport.
