@mondez89 @Mick_Spilligan @jord389103 The example was set by Reform’s leaders, Farage and Tice, who enjoyed affluent upbringings, were gifted private education, used family contacts to build careers and wealth in the City … then entered politics spouting anti-establishment drivel. *Do as I say. Not as I do*. 🤮 🙄

@Mick_Spilligan @mondez89 @jord389103 My mum died last April in Walsgrave Hospital, and the six weeks of EOL care she received from NHS nurses, doctors and care assistants was truly outstanding. They came from Egypt, Pakistan, India, Indonesia and t’Philippines. Her bedside nurse (Sri Lanka) was amazing. F*ck you 🪵

@kasper_mkd @mondez89 @CraigHCAFC01 @jord389103 @MaddisonJordan Dear fake club moron. ICYMI … 1) The UK has welcomed migrants since centuries before the birth of Christ. 2) Our country’s official religion was imported from Palestine. 3) Our national saint was born in modern-day Turkey. 4) Just 7.5% of the UK population is Muslim.

@Annie271k @MaddisonJordan 1) Having sex with a team-mate’s GF … and losing the ENG captaincy for so doing. 2) Racially abusing an opponent (Anton Ferdinand) … and losing the ENG captaincy again. 3) Ending his ENG career because of 2). 4) Endorsing Islamophobic comments by a white supremacist scumbag.

@louisemike149 @SkyNews But … He’s already upset millions of angry white people who claim to be Christians, Catholics, lapsed Methodists, and quite likely Baptists too. Is bigotry and religious hate your cliched response to all issues? 🪵 🥱

"They say that history never repeats itself, but that sometimes it rhymes." @TrevorPTweets compares Harold Wilson's refusal to send British troops to Vietnam with the current situation in Iran and the potential impact on the next general election. trib.al/mnDpAmx

@SkyNews @TrevorPTweets Mark Twain also said: “God created war so Americans would learn geography”, which is relevant to Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, Somalia, Syria, Iran and many other countries where the US chose to wage war. 🤬

@graceybfc Yes. It initially seemed weird that his form went so visibly and steadily downhill, but you make a very valid point (missed by @matt_scrafton as usual) that any keeper behind an inadequate CH pairing is bound to see their form decline. 🥴

1 win in 22 games for Scott Parker and Burnley. Name another job in world football where you'd still be in post? San Marino maybe? Make it make sense please. The entire club needs a reset and clear out from top to bottom! #twitterclarets

@Smurf1882 @BurnleyExpress @IdleandWild On the marginal upside, I didn’t go, but headed for the Rising Sun at 4-15pm. Bloke (very affable, but not BFC) tells me he’s backed Fulham to win 2-1. I took no pleasure in popping outside to tell him the result. His mates were less supportive. 😂 NB: Excellent White Witch.

@grecian10681068 Yes, it does attract afternoon drinkers who talk about the *old days*, as does the Western, because they’re seen as a refuge from ‘spoons and suchlike. The landlord has done far more to preserve the interior than the brewery.

@CryptopianGuy @SkyNews Just been shopping, filled the tank and then returned to see that your *best riposte* was two more cliches. 🙄 Are all bitcoin bores so exhaustingly devoid of originality? 😢

@grecian10681068 @StymieSi The landlord is a WBA fan, and by chance one of my mates taught him at St Peter’s in W’ton … before it turned into an academy and went downhill fast.

@grecian10681068 @StymieSi Hopefully the Posada was the final one, as it deserves a pic more than any of that quartet. Presumably, you’d previously visited the Great Western.

@CryptopianGuy @SkyNews 1) There are no *leftist* comedians. 🪵 2) It’s not compulsory to watch any TV programme. 🙄 3) The use of the meaningless *woke* cliche (in any context) is wearisome beyond belief. 🥱

@SkyNews It’s been weird for years to see some coroners imagine they’re being *kind* to relatives by not recording suicide verdicts. There’s only one possible verdict when someone gets drunk in their own home, goes upstairs, sets up a noose, and then hangs themselves from the rafters. 🙄

An inquest has ruled boxer Ricky Hatton had brain disease caused by repeated head trauma when he died. Senior coroner for South Manchester, Alison Mutch, recorded a verdict of hanging, but also said it was not clear whether the former world champion intended to take his own life. Sky's @KatieBarnfield reports. 🔗 trib.al/cNLjo59

@Henry3Studios2 @jdpoc @NJ_Timothy @KemiBadenoch There’s nothing *rational* about being a racist POS and a white supremacist. Muslims are just 7.5% 👀 of the UK population. It’s shameful that your sectarian hate and bigotry makes you abuse a proud British citizen, born in London, and who rose to become the capital’s Mayor. 👍

8 public annual Islamic Eid events in Trafalgar Square held during the London Mayor tenure of Boris Johnson. I can only assume that @NJ_Timothy and @KemiBadenoch were silent at that time either because of hypocrisy, or just that their casual hatred is more acceptable now.

@MertysR25620 @Cal_III The median age is just 33, so presumably you migrated to Clacton (or another area which is 95% white British) once you’d passed 30. 🥱 How weird that locals should *persecute* a law-abiding and upstanding citizen for years. 🙄

@Cal_III I lived in Newham for years for boxing. Shopkeeper shot on my road, stabbing outside my house, firework set off at me for no reason, bottle thrown at my head, gun pointed at me on Barking road. All by non-Whites.
