@BenGrahamUK The documented use of eggs in pre-Christian versions of Easter predates Christianity by 3600 years, so if it’s longevity you’re bothered about, you should be delighted.

Britain has been a Christian nation for over 1,400 years. Through wars, plagues, and countless kings, Easter has always been celebrated. Yet now, Cadbury won’t even use the word ‘Easter’ on their eggs. When did celebrating British traditions become controversial?

@drumister @PaulEmbery @ewinterhill When did anyone say removing the regime was the objective? It isn’t even in the list of five win the original tweet.

@PaulEmbery @ewinterhill How is removing the Nazi Iranian regime and helping to free the Iraininan people from their Arab occupiers crazy?

Jesus wept. Started a crazy war. Watched it unravel. Now signals a retreat and insists that other countries - who rightly wanted no part of it in the first place - go in and clear up the mess he created. What an appalling president. What a shameful episode.

@GrizzledEn10911 @oldguy_steve You do remember that 2 months ago you were threatening to send troops to invade a NATO member’s territory?

@oldguy_steve We should pull our troops back home and leave NATO. Let Europe fend for itself from now on.

You know, World War 2 wasn't our war either. Had it not been for the USA, all of Europe would be speaking German.

Maybe I'm just going to the wrong Bingo parlours?

❤️ Last point is so true. Among younger people we talk to, nepotism is the most commonly mentioned example of class privilege:

Very proud to see 3 working-class writers from our Writing Chance programme featured in the @DailyMirror. Emma Astra, Zainab Amer & @sunitathind . great writers, so it’s fantastic to see them published with the support of @NewWritingNorth , Michael Sheen & Mirror journalists

@M1L4GRO Surely you have to acknowledge Stanley Mathews? Pele said he showed him how the game should be played, won the Ballon D’or, Worlds best players famously all at his testimonial - and his game was built on his dribbling.

@thegaywhostrayd @ragingwest The mayor of Birmingham isn’t a Muslim The mayor of Leeds isn’t a Muslim The mayor of Blackburn isn’t a Muslim The mayor of Sheffield isn’t a Muslim The mayor of Oxford isn’t a Muslim The mayor of Rochdale isn’t a Muslim Congratulations on your meticulous research.

The mayor of London is Muslim The mayor of Birmingham is a Muslim The mayor of Leeds is Muslim The mayor of Blackburn is Muslim The mayor of Sheffield is Muslim The mayor of Oxford is a Muslim The mayor of Luton is a Muslim The mayor of Oldham is a Muslim The mayor of Rochdale is a Muslim This is not immigration. It is an invasion.

@EllieGAnders @thegaywhostrayd @ragingwest What was the name of the person/series?

@thegaywhostrayd @ragingwest Several years ago, I listened to a series by a Christian apologist that is an expert on Islam. What we're seeing in the UK is exactly what he said their plan was and he predicted it. Their goal is to eventually take over every western country.

@NorthshoreRob59 @jimcraddock @nicksortor Decades? What tariffs were China imposing before the 2010s?

@jimcraddock @nicksortor It was never about any NEW tariffs China may impose, it was about all the ones that they've imposed for DECADES. Retaliating with the 34% tariffs just brought China back to the point where they were, which was over tariffing the US.

🚨 #BREAKING: President Trump just announced he will be slapping an ADDITIONAL 50% tariff on China if they do not withdraw their retaliatory tariffs by tomorrow Trump is NOT f***ing around, China. You’re about to learn that the hard way.

@yenolamnala @Gaius_is_sus Where are you getting this from? Coal is only the sixth largest source of energy in the eu, & declining at that.

@Gaius_is_sus Uk buys electricity from the EU which is in the main coal fuelled energy.

Makes sense. Otherwise you’ve swapped a petrol/diesel car for a coal fuel power station car. There is ABSOLUTELY nothing green about an electric vehicle apart from the paintwork if you like green.

@Justinskibs @harkyb @Nigel_Farage How will you know where they came from?

@harkyb @Nigel_Farage That's cuck retard speak - you send them back to whatever hell hole the came from and if any nations won't take them, you pay the US some $$$ and we'll force them to take them back for you. We will start helping you again when yall start doing the right thing again.

Every single person who comes to Britain illegally will be deported. End of story.

@TheHolyGhosted7 @TheDailyShow You know your president is now aligned with North Korea?

The audience of @TheDailyShow cheered loudly for a hat that read “Make America Go Away.” I would deport them all to North Korea.

@AncientAxeRebel @JasmineForUS It’s a fact that recent polls show a slim majority of people are opposed Trump. What you believe is up to you.

Honest question for those not in the cult… what do you think it will take for them to finally admit that he’s ruining the country & put pressure on Repubs to turn their backs on him & finally hold him accountable?

@elenaantoniou3 @Lieneuh @RasmusJarlov @Draadsitte43568 Where did he make that argument?

@Lieneuh @RasmusJarlov @Draadsitte43568 But that’s exactly his point, the U.S. is paying for your security, allowing you to spend your money on social programs that Americans don’t have.

Is this normal in your countries? A president that continues to lie even if he has been corrected a hundred times on these numbers. In Denmark, people dont like being told lies. Voters punish it. Why do Americans accept and vote for it? I dont get it.

@CaptainKennie @daveg641 @narindertweets Are you arguing that the majority of farmers in every country in the world are white? You have a source for that?

Hang on ..wait. why, WHY does this farmers protest look like a far right March??! Why have the far right involved themselves?
