What a night watching @AirdrieoniansFC beat the Swifts 4-2. Rhys and the team made the night for me and my son Jonny with this photo after the match. Fantastic gesture, still can’t believe it ♦️♦️♦️♦️

Name a book you've reread (or would reread).

@DrAseemMalhotra I didn’t expect this from @P_McCulloughMD 😳

Once you accept the principle of euthanasia for the hard cases, the cases become softer very quickly.

🚨The Bradford headteacher who blew the whistle on multiculturalism in the 1980’s: Ray Honeyford was the headmaster of Drummond Middle School in Bradford in the 1980’s. Ray was born into a very poor family with a father who was wounded in WW1 and often unable to work. He had 10 siblings, six of whom died in childhood. Ray went to work at 15 to support his family whilst taking evening classes to qualify as a teacher. In the mid 1980’s Drummond Middle School was 90% non-white and 95% Asian (mostly Pakistani). 1984 (an apt year!) Ray wrote an article on multiculturalism in Roger Scruton’s Salisbury Review. He noted that many children were actively encouraged to speak Urdu rather than English. He noted young girls were being forced into marriage and many children were arriving at school already exhausted after hours spent at the madrasah. And he said that parents were bringing the “politics of the subcontinent” with them and that many of the Pakistani parents viewed white Brits as the kafir who were not to be mixed with. He warned that it was resulting in “Asian ghetto’s” across Bradford and that political correctness was holding back integration and the educational prospects of ethnic minority children. He wrote the article not out of hatred, but out of a concern the children under his care were not getting a great British education. Muslim “community leaders” would pack meetings in the school and demand his resignation as did the local Pakistani Mayor of Bradford. He was suspended until his suspension was overturned in the High Court. But the parents started protesting and the children started boycotting the school. Ray even had to be given police protection. He eventually accepted a payout from the council and was forced into early retirement. He never worked as a teacher again. When Ray died in 2012 Roger Scruton wrote an obituary which said: “Readers will be grateful for the life of this exemplary, heroic and profoundly gentle man, who was prepared to pay the price of truth at a time of lies”.

Surely people should be calling it by its proper name: Storm Rodney

Wow, that was sharp. An immigrant in London sees it better than anyone. Brits & Europeans — you’ve got to see this

🚨Jimmy Carr ROASTS Keir Starmer “We’ve got Keir Starmer, who seems nice enough, but somewhere in the midlands there’s an Asda missing its manager.” 🤣

It is totally impossible for a monarch to be the Supreme Head of the Church of England, if said monarch has, in fact, secretly converted to a non-Christian religion. Said monarch would be in an impossible position. Said monarch would have to ABDICATE. No ifs, no buts.

At this point German would be preferable

@Fiat__Justitia It is his Easter message

Yeah, this and the lack of Easter message is incredibly ominous.

If we are paying attention then this is Charles’ easter message…if after all he "is above politics" we must assume this is a religious signal.

If he is reneging on his coronation vows as F. D. The he needs to abdicate and let a successor take his place who will respect the constitution.

🚨 What? … The King of the UK, who gave official Ramadan messages from the palace during Lent … WILL NOT be issuing an Easter message for Christians this year. It appears the ‘Leader of the Faith’ doesn’t really want to lead a Christian country 💣

Just in case you did not understand how much of a swamp geopolitics is, here is yet another example.

Shaking the hand of a head chopping terrorist, while locking pensioners up for holding a piece of card. Starmers Britain. 🤮

I still can’t believe what I witnessed today can you?

Tailoring doesn’t civilise a man. It simply disguises.
