@owenjonesjourno You really are a classless piece of shit who quite literally should be banned from social media for your constant BS.

The Golders Green attacker also allegedly tried to murder a Muslim friend of his. This seems relevant, given this attack has fuelled demands for another clampdown on civil liberties.

@AnonInclusive @sharrond62 Not it's fear of being cancelled by association to a woman who has an opinion. That is how sad society has become. Just thought I would fact check your incorrect statement

@sharrond62 The lack of insight by Janet is astounding. Her choir is decimated as people don’t wish to be associated with or spend time with her. Freedom of expression does not extend to forcing of association.

It absolutely the right time to say ‘no more’ to activities in the civil service, charities & nhs to name a few. Like everyone else they must abide by the law, management grow a pair & stop allowing the cancel culture mob to dictate policy which ruins lives & the vast majority of the general public don’t agree with anyway

@StephanieJaneG6 @sharrond62 Stephanie all Sharon has done for years now is fight for womens rights. Stop talking rubbish

@sharrond62 I’m just waiting to see you embarrassed by Parkrun in a court of law, despite all of the anti women’s rights, anti LGBTQ, right wing American money propping you up.

@kevin_parr @MattHayesfish Would you say there's a chance that right now companies dump into the river as it's likely there are too many regulations/rules and therefore cost to dispose of waste correctly. If that can be deregulated the hand of the companies/individuals is not being forced. Just a thought.

@benedge29 @MattHayesfish What on earth do you think companies are going to do? If there are no regulations as to where waste is dumped, it’s just going to be dumped in the nearest field/river/green space. Where else would they dump it?

Yet another nail in the coffin of my beloved river Severn. Abstracted , polluted and lined with caravan parks and park homes it has become a graveyard for one of its most famous species. No doubt the authorities will find a way to blame climate change…

@kevin_parr @MattHayesfish Ok so question why businesses are so over regulated that they are then dumping waste into the rivers. you can't just look at this on 1 level. if reform promise to make it easier for companies to actually deal with waste perhaps actually the 'last resort' of river pollution goes.

@benedge29 @MattHayesfish When regulations are broken there is something to fight against. With no regulations, there is nothing to fight against. Reform are going to ditch NVZs - literally telling us they will - and that means the rivers can become open sewers and there is nothing anyone can do.

@kevin_parr @MattHayesfish I think mass deregulation is a concern but there's does current regulation work??? and I get your point but actually I would much rather a party have some active involvement in the countryside unlike labour and especially the greens. Their policy is to build social housing.

@benedge29 @MattHayesfish True enough. But neither the Greens or Labour are actively advocating mass deregulation. Reform are literally telling us what they plan to do and no one seems to either notice or care. Such an absurd mandate to approve…

@HenryCelt08 @KemiBadenoch Youre missing the point completely look at whom replaces those people! Open your eyes. This is just a power play by labour to try and force through more ridiculous laws that attack the average working person. Right now I would put the king back in charge in a heartbeat.

@KemiBadenoch The House of Lords should be scrapped but kicking out hereditary peers is a step towards what's needed People numerous generations from a supposed genius or expert can be making decisions despite not needing to have any relevant knowledge on anything How is that a good thing?

In the midst of all the news today, and with Parliament prorogued, many people may not have noticed that this was the final time the hereditary peers sat in Parliament before being forced out by Labour. I want to pay an extra special tribute to them. Combined they had 1784 years of parliamentary experience, wisdom and service to this country. That is not something easily replaced, and it should not be casually discarded. Most were Conservatives. All were public servants. They have brought to public life judgment shaped over decades, deep expertise, institutional memory, and a sense of duty that has strengthened Parliament and, very often, improved legislation in ways the public will never fully see. Their record speaks for itself. They have served in war and peace, in government and opposition, in defence, diplomacy, farming, business, science and public service. They have not merely occupied seats in the Lords, they have contributed to the life of the nation. That is why what has happened matters. Hereditary peers are a living part of Britain’s constitutional inheritance that Labour is casually tearing up. Labour has rubbed away another part of our heritage, not to strengthen Parliament but to replace it with political appointees, four of whom it has already had to suspend the whip from because they were so inappropriate. That contrast says rather a lot. At a time when public trust in politics is fragile, I think it is worth saying plainly that experience, seriousness and tradition still matter. Service still matters. Duty still matters. So today, as an era closes, I want to put on record my profound gratitude and admiration for our hereditary peers. Britain has been better governed because of them. The Conservative Party has been stronger because of them. And Parliament will be poorer without them. Their contribution will long outlast the petty politics that has brought this moment about.

@kevin_parr @MattHayesfish I would be more worried if you think the greens or labour have any interest whatsoever in any of this. Sorry but may as well be honest about it. The greens will probably say it's Donald trump's fault then send a strongly worded letter. That's it.

@MattHayesfish Definitely. There are things we can do for the elvers that are straightforward. And unfortunately, the message the electorate send to Westminster is that the environment doesn’t matter. And if Reform win the Senedd and scrap NVZs, the upper Severn could be devastated…

@nathansldennis @afneil Well as you love a data sheet go look it up and you will see I'm 100% correct chief.

@benedge29 @afneil Lol, no refugees from the various wars or famines... Yeah, you're clueless...

Groan. Almost every sentence in this ‘fact sheet’ is a lie. I’ve detailed the truth many times. ‘Thousands’ were NOT sent back. Indeed under Dublin, which was a two-way street, we were net recipients. There were few people coming by boat when we were part of Dublin because they were pouring in as stowaways by lorry/rail/car. When technology caught up with them they switched to boats. Nothing to do with Dublin, which was a damp squib. But I guess the Lismores of this world think if you lie often enough it will gain traction. Very Trumpian.

@nathansldennis @afneil The world pre Brexit was in a different state and mass immigration didn't exist. You stop spouting BS, open your eyes and see what's happening in the cities of France, Spain and Portugal. It's not a pretty sight and out of control. I beg all of you 'remainers & lefties' wake up!!

@afneil Time you stopped with the lies Andrew! This is the UK govs irregular migration data, the green box is 2018 to #Brexit, and the red box is the #Farageboats They weren't pouring in before the boats started..

@campbellclaret @jk_rowling @RestIsPolitics @SarahEMcBride No thanks

For those in the middle of the @jk_rowling conversation I strongly recommend you listen to @RestIsPolitics LEADING interview with @SarahEMcBride - you could not wish to hear a more compelling, passionate and measured advocate of trans rights and human rights. m.youtube.com/watch?v=UvxQze…

@campbellclaret @jk_rowling Mr Campbell you have just been hung out to dry. Man up and apologise.

@jk_rowling Thank you for listening

Mmmm. Bit weird 👇🏻 but hey ho … for all those claiming we won’t listen to people who share @jk_rowling views we have in the past asked @jk_rowling who said no. She is a leading voice and therefore we would happily talk to her on LEADING. Previous attempts have been rebuffed.

@WulfrunianChris Come on now Chris. Why don't you just say I hate reform rather than make a song and dance over safeguarding. You have jumped to a conclusion as well. Who's to say they didn't check with students before it took place? Also... No exact location has been mentioned, just an area.

As a teacher it’s a genuinely massive safeguarding concern for Reform to be allowing things like this to be posted. Having to get full photo permissions as a teacher was a nightmare.

@sharrond62 Not a fan but unfortunately we have to accept there's so much power and money in football now it was bound to happen. Especially with increased US ownership of clubs.

Umm what do we think to this? 👇🏼

@JontyUpNorth @LucyTCWife Genius comment. Just what we were all looking for. You aim up the 'deeply woke' you resort to insults time and again.

@LucyTCWife Shut the fuck up

How dare you? Just how dare you?? I want to cry with anger reading this post. Let alone those beautiful girls families. You skipped to Southport, lobbed a wreath in the direction of all the other tributes. Ran away and called everyone FAR RIGHT that were heartbroken, angry and scared for their own children. You have caused the biggest divide this country has ever seen. You locked people up for being angry and scared, some of which never came out alive. You actively withheld information about that murderer and his family. You knew the level of failure that led to that thing taking the lives of children and injuring many more. You forbade any other MP to raise questions about that murderer or the situation. You doubled down and blamed us! Distraught mums and worried parents. If it was possible to despise you anymore I do, having read this post.

@drew_data @KBurgessJackson @KonstantinKisin Are you actually off your tree? You are the one offended by facts. As all the left as are. When will you wake up and see reality??!! For example Iran have just been nominated to be a champion of human & womens rights by multiple countries at a UN summit. Do you support that??

@benedge29 @KBurgessJackson @KonstantinKisin Konstanin Kissin is a Zionist. That's an ideology, hence he is BIASED. Commonly, zionists are tribal and have developed a collective narcissism that doesn't allow for them to have an intellectually honest discussion because they are preoccupied with protecting a fragile identity

That's because the bias in our content has always been the pursuit of truth. The problem is, however, that we live in a world full of stupid people. And stupid people think that when you don't agree with them it could only be because of bias. Smart people know disagreement is natural and try to understand where other people are coming from because they know that's how you get closer to the truth. But smart people are the rarer of the two, sadly.

@GazTheKitman @tim_oates1 @afneil It's a wake up call that has gone unheeded. Nothing has changed in fact it's got worse!!

@tim_oates1 @afneil 2/2 - NATO expanded to include those countries under the Soviet bloc who wanted to be safer and more secure in the 1990s but NATO and we all (except the US to some degree) got complacent since the late 90s. This is the result. Ukraine was the wake up call.

We can all see him, John! His illegal ships sailed through the Channel yesterday unmolested. You and Starmer vowed to stop illegal Russian oil tankers using the Channel. Two 'shadow fleet' vessels were off Britain's south coast yesterday, escorted by a Russian warship (frigate Admiral Grigorovich). All the Royal Navy could rustle up was a lightly-armed support ship (RFA Tideforce, an auxiliary tanker) which could do no more than watch them head for the Black Sea as they passed Dover. So much for your government’s promise to 'go after' the sanction-breaking ships 'even harder'. All mouth and no trousers.

@drew_data @KBurgessJackson @KonstantinKisin An ideological Zionist? Please elaborate, perhaps without the insults. I'm intrigued.

@KBurgessJackson @KonstantinKisin Apparently ideologocal Zionists who base every argument around protecting their fragile cultural narcissism based identity and cultish worship of their own tribe get to CLAIM they're pursuing truth without bias, when it's blatantly obvious to any outsider that they invert truth.

@jimkelly07 @Bigsarge22 @IRanMediaco 70000 people???? Ok buddy. You must be talking about the Iranian regime in the space of 2 weeks this year then

@benedge29 @Bigsarge22 @IRanMediaco So murdering over 70000 people is not evil in your eyes. Wake up and stop supporting genocide. It is well known the biggest sponsor of terrorism is the USA and Israel. Who started the war with Iran? Stop being an idiot.

BREAKING: Britain Rejects US Request The United Kingdom will refuse American requests to use British bases for strikes on Iranian bridges or power stations. UK officials confirm these are civilian targets and such attacks could constitute war crimes.

@jimkelly07 @Bigsarge22 @IRanMediaco Jim don't embarrass yourself. You are defending Iran the largest sponsor of worldwide terrorism for the last 40 years. To then call Israel evil is utter madness. To even make that statement is mad. You're a grown man!

@Bigsarge22 @IRanMediaco Israel is the biggest problem they are evil
