@marcogiann @GavinBarwell …or is foolishly complacent? I mean, it’s not as if those paroxysms haven’t done the UK enormous harm down the years…

@GavinBarwell Allow me: It's no wonder that Continental nations which have experienced political paroxysms.- occupation, dictatorships, unstable governments, economic incompetence - should want to tie their rafts together . The UK, with 1,000 years of institutional continuity, doesn't need it.

I always wonder whether people like Simon ever even ask themselves why pretty much every other country in Europe thinks otherwise i.e. is either a member or desperately trying to become one?
Simon Cooke@SimonMagus
@GavinBarwell It is a really dumb idea though. There is that.
English
@OfGadsden Well it’s completely true - whether it’s relevant is of course debatable.
English
@timfarron No, mate, your story sounds like bollocks; the other chap is correct and I attended many games around the country back in the day.
English
Hmmm. A very good friend of mine at a Birmingham city away game in the early 80s, tells the story of the angry Blue Noses chanting ‘SDP, SDP, SDP..’ at the mounted police corralling them in the ground. Basically, don’t read too much into this…

I'm a lifelong football fan and longstanding labour movement activist. This sort of thing - the routine chanting of abuse by football fans towards a Labour prime minister - is something very new. I don't actually like it much - as Tony Benn said, politics should be about "issues, not personalities" - but it does serve as further proof of how much things are shifting in our country and how the anger of working-class people is growing. We need to listen to them.

@timfarron @Kettle_of_Smeg @JDandMills 100% of people I talked to at work and in the pub think he’s a real hero
English
People who ‘want our country back’ and then celebrate people being rude and unpleasant, clearly hanker after a land that isn’t Britain.

I’d like to buy this man a pint. Does anyone know how I can find him?

@heskadonius It’s not though is it, you’re welcome to your opinions and to express them but don’t be a wombat.
English
@timfarron Being against mocking and insulting leaders is extremely third world coded.
English
@john_japes It is not a crime, neither should it be…. But people who behave like wazzocks should expect to be identified as wazzocks.
English
@timfarron Oh my, it's a crime to be "rude and unpleasant" whilst undocumented men from alien cultures flood our shores, and are statistically more likely to sexually assault British women and girls.
Gie yir heid a wobble, ya dickhead.

It was real joy to be with the new Mayor of Windermere, Beverley Cullen and the new Mayor of Kendal Helen Ladhams at Helen’s official inauguration last night at Kendal Town Hall. A Many congratulations and best wishes to you both for the year ahead!
English
@timfarron It’s scandalous Tim. As a Palace fan I can’t believe it
English
He’s dropped Adam Wharton? What a daft decision. The most intelligent and insightful midfielder we have, and the most inch-perfect passer of a ball… and he drops him? Blimey.
English
@RoBobby78 I’m not calling for him to be banned, I’m calling him a graceless wazzock. You can defend people’s rights and still - rightly - judge them to be a berk. Being a liberal is great.
English
@timfarron Freedom of speech. You may not like it, but we will use what we still have left.
English
@ThomasW30336856 Yeah, this is not satire though is it? It’s just aggressive and rude. It’s the kind of thing any normal parent would correctly ground their kids for. I think RR is a terrible chancellor… but, you know, no need to be a wazzock about it.
English
@timfarron Criticising people in power is justified if they lie and refuse to listen or acknowledge mistakes. she keep lying so deserves criticism. The people are constantly being lied to and ignored.
English
@MrTaylorMaths2 Makes zero sense. At least I’m entering the World Cup without hope, which will make it less miserable!
English
@timfarron And looks like he'll take Jordan Henderson instead, madness.
English
@Kettle_of_Smeg @JDandMills Fine, just don’t pretend you’re a patriot. If you ever spent time off your phone and talked to normal people you’d find that you are in a tiny minority. Most British people - left, right or centre - think that behaving like a Wazzock is generally an embarrassing thing…
English
@JDandMills @timfarron The brass necks of them. It's as if we ought to be grateful that they deighn to entertain our opinions.
English
@Kettle_of_Smeg I’m not offended I just think he’s a rude berk… I defend his right to do it… but he’s a berk. Learn some manners and act like an Englishman.
English
@timfarron He's all of us normal people, unlike you ersatz saints, who self-appoint as our betters, hold us in utter contempt & swan around like your shit doesn't stink.
And if that offends you, it was absolutely fvcking meant to.
English
@youreallmad @AllanPaxton5 Maybe do 2 seconds worth of research before posting nonsense??
English
@Hettiewaynthrop You think it’s ok for people to throw stuff at Nige too? I don’t. Behave like a grown up and a decent human being and people might listen to you
English
@timfarron No Tim, we celebrate people standing up and saying no to our country being destroyed. Wet wipes who stay quiet and allow this government to destroy everything in its wake, are traitors to the country. Only a mealy mouthed sop would keep quiet.
English
@timfarron Where where was this energy when Farage had a milkshake thrown on him?
English
The UK is only 55% food secure.
Meanwhile, England is now the only country in Europe where farmers don't receive financial support from its government to produce food.
With wars raging across the world, the @LibDems are demanding that the Government take food security seriously
