@drhingram Sure Helen. Apologies me challenging you has caused you to feel so miffed. 👍

@ashleycomms Whatever you say, Ashley

I’d rather drink a pint of my own bile

@drhingram It’s not obligatory to post on stuff you don’t like Helen and it’s not obligatory to then comment on others disagreeing with you 👍

@ashleycomms It’s not obligatory to comment, Ashley.

@DreyfusJames Thing is James no one actually said ‘ I “breached an individual’s right to privacy” did they?

To those people saying I “breached an individual’s right to privacy” by posting a photo of someone’s dirty shoes up on a train seat, I say this… Identify the individual. Should be easy, yes? I mean those pumps positively scream Tanya Flump from 117a Terracotta Avenue, Rhyl…

@TrishHodkinson Looking through your posts Trish and don’t see your outrage at this when other PMs were in place?

I think all opposition parties should not attend the next PMQs, what’s the point? He never answers questions. Make a stand and boycott the next one. Let him talk to himself! Hopeless, useless PM!

"Retiring from rugby was the biggest mistake of my life". Telling that abusing his wife and mother of his 5 kids for years isn't his biggest mistake. You might have thought it would be, but no. Happily, Hogg is "finally valuing himself" now. Phew. telegraph.co.uk/rugby-union/20…

@TLtj18 ‘Your own people?’ Who are they then Tay?

I don't know about anyone else but I'm fucking sick of being called racist, islamaphobic, far right and a nazi For standing up for my own people

@lunn_toby @peter_sarris Sure Toby there is just no evidence that the threat of imprisonment for women impacts and decisions they make at a time of great distress and trauma.

@ashleycomms @peter_sarris We’re going round in circles now. Whether I agreed with the system that we had prior to criminal consequences being removed from women that choose to kill their unborn children, post 24 weeks gestation, although not perfect seemed more balanced.

Two good reasons never to vote Labour again.

@jongaunt @CrossCountryUK Is that the manners and common decency you seek in others JC?

@ashleycomms @CrossCountryUK Fuck off you slap head! Lol

What’s happened to manners and common courtesy in the U.K. I’m on a packed train @CrossCountryUK from Oxford to Coventry. Loads of young people on it with lots of elderly standing! I’ve given my seat to an older lady but why isn’t anyone else? Selfish gits!

@DVATW … well don’t watch it then Dave 👍

The thing about Comic Relief is that it’s not funny and a relief not to watch it. Katanga.

@danny__kruger ‘we should allow a special privilege’ says Danny who has led a life of privilege and is happy to give other privileges to privileged people. 👍

Nick Timothy and Nigel Farage are right, and Sadiq Khan and Keir Starmer are wrong. Small groups of people, of whatever religion, praying in public places is fine. And as a Christian country we should allow a special privilege for churches to lead services in our national spaces, like the Palm Sunday celebration that happens in Trafalgar Square. What we don't want is mass ritual observances intended to claim the civic realm for another religion, or assert the domination of another culture over our own Christian traditions. What happens in our national spaces is not neutral. People use Trafalgar Square, for celebrations and demonstrations, to make a point about the kind of country they want us to be. The Palm Sunday pageant reminds us of who we are - not as individuals (many or most of us don't identify as Christians at all) but as a national community, with the roots of our institutions in the ground of the Bible and our most solemn communal moments, from coronations to funerals, mediated through the liturgies of the Church. A mass Adhan held there, or in any town square, is making a different point: that Britain is not a Christian country, and that - inshallah - one day it shall be Muslim. This is unacceptable to the British public and indeed incompatible with our constitution. As ever with these debates, the issue is partly one of kind and partly one of degree. There is an issue with Islam itself as a religion which in most interpretations does not admit of pluralism or freedom of conscience, and therefore is inherently aggrandising, including over territory. But with a bit of confidence and a bit of toleration we could handle that - if it were not for the issue of degree. It is the scale of Islam in Britain, and the ambition of its leaders for greater scale, that makes the problem. The numbers of people who assembled for the adhan in Trafalgar Square, clearly and openly claiming the territory for a faith with no connection (indeed, with strong doctrinal disagreement) with the model of Western liberal democracy that Britain has developed and exported to the world - that is the problem. The numbers, whether everyone there understood it this way or not (and I suspect many did), convey an explicit threat to the foundations of our country. Being relaxed about other people's religion is a good thing, a very British thing. I don't mind modern druids dancing around Stonehenge in my constituency (arguably, though the historicity is tenuous, they have a claim to the place). I don't mind small groups of Hindus or Buddhists or Muslims demonstrating the reality of Britain's religious toleration by worshiping in Trafalgar Square. But let's not kid ourselves about this adhan, or pretend that we're just seeing another harmless expression of Britain's religious diversity. We are seeing an abuse of liberalism, led by people who are not themselves liberal; or - let us imagine they are acting in good faith - who are themselves deceived about what they are doing. It should not happen again. And it would be good to hear the Church of England say so.

@JohnCleese John has gone full Reg here …

I'm wondering whether there will be an investigation of the Islamic intent to take over the world

@johnmcdonnellMP …. same old same old from John … who as a lifelong Parliamentarian obviously has no problems paying his fuel bills ..

My interview this morning on my fear we are on an escalator drawing our country into a dangerous & disastrous war. We are a sovereign country not a Trump colony & must ally with others to de-escalate to secure a negotiated settlement to secure peace & stabilise the global economy

@JohnCleese John you do realise that you now spout the same views you superbly ridiculed in ‘The Life of Brian’ don’t you?

Dear Sadiq Khan, I think some of the prejudice to do with 'singling out Muslims' is to to with their stated intention to kill 'infidels', expecially the bit about beheading them You see, the other religions don't promise that

@RWTaylors Richie you’re an idiot.

I wonder if Easter will get as much coverage across the country as we've seen this week! Download this photo and use the hashtag #Christianity and let's flood X!

@michaelgove Lessons on patronising from Michael …

Nobody does patronising better than the youngest son of a baronet

@jeremycorbyn The usual nonsense from JC who as a lifelong Parliamentarian obviously has no problems paying his fuel bills …

This is a reckless act of escalation that endangers us all. No discussion. No debate. What a disgrace. How on earth can the Prime Minister still pretend we are not involved? It doesn't matter how he dresses it up. Britain is participating in an illegal war of aggression.

@lunn_toby @peter_sarris So which situation should a woman not be allowed to decide what to do with her own body?

@ashleycomms @peter_sarris Yes, in that situation.

@johnmcdonnellMP Time for letter writing I’d say John …

The UK is a sovereign state not a Trump colony. We have not been part of the decision making by Netanyahu & Trump that has led to this war & its escalation. There is an alternative of de-escalation & negotiations. Keir should fulfil his promise to allow a vote in Parliament.
