Paddington Brown 🇬🇧

Only once it's been fact-checked and debunked can you be sure it's the truth

@Anglothule The lack of media attention is astounding... a few sparse articles here & there does not do this story justice. Starmer posting about a Mosque attack in the US this morning really drives it all home. They hate us

This is getting me so fucking angry, i know people who have done some FOI requests. We need to see officer bodycam footage to hold them to account. If it is an officer that said “i dont think you have mate” after Henry said he was stabbed and any other officer involved needs suspending and charged immediately.

@EdwardJDavey Flow of foreign money = bad Flow of foreign people = good Cheers clearing that up Ed 👍

Though smaller than last year, the Unite the Kingdom march over the weekend was still sickening. The resurgence of out-and-out racism in the UK, from demands for remigration of British Asians to Antisemitic slurs on placards at both demonstrations, demands we meet this moment.

@TheHauskarl Can be boiled down "is it wrong to act in our own (group) interests?" Of course it isn't. However we reserve the right act in our own group interests & stop you ruining our countries. That's it.

It's disingenuous and I don't accept the premise, so let us respond to a question with a question: If the history of the crusading Anglo is one of merciless, savage oppression and enslavement all around the world - then why would any of its former subjects wish to live alongside their oppressors? Is the world such a cold and gloomy place, that the needy of the world's only remaining hope is to cosy up alongside their ex-captors? I also refuse to accept that the question itself is to be understood through the lens of victims and oppressors. The enslaved are free. The British Empire is gone. You got what you wanted. It's literally not my problem any more, If you insist on making it my problem, then I will vote for literally anyone who promises to secure the borders until such time as I am left alone.

@SimpGanassi I live in social housing right now except me & my 2 housemates pay £1000 a month each for the privilege. Our landlord is a Jamaican lady who used to live in it & bought it for pennies via right to buy. Tick enough boxes for you?

If you don’t personally know anyone who lives (or has lived) in social housing, this is a HUGE tell that you live in an unrepresentative, upper class bubble. One in six households in England are social renters, you should know *at least* one person who rents socially

@mylandsinorder The argument about religious exemption is besides the point. Would a piece of legislation have stopped this guy?

The Conservative government changed the law around the carrying of Kirpans in 2019 resulting in a situation where a single minority group is allowed to carry blades in public.

@anishmoonka The dogs with buttons ask questions

In the 1970s, David Premack wondered if a chimpanzee could be taught to ask a question. He taught Sarah 130 plastic word-tokens. She answered his questions easily. After years of work, she had never asked one of her own. Sixty years later, no signing ape has. A four-year-old human asks about 25 questions an hour. Paul Harris at Harvard counted them: kids ask their parents around 40,000 questions between ages two and five. Premack even worked out a method for teaching an ape to ask. Hide a snack the chimp expects. Wait for her to sign "where is it." He never bothered running it on Sarah. She spent her sessions answering his questions, never asking her own. A normal kid, he pointed out, asks "what that? who making noise? when Daddy come home?" on a loop. Washoe the chimpanzee, the first one taught American Sign Language, knew 250 signs. She could request food. She could sign her name. She once saw a swan and called it "water bird," a sharp invention for an animal she had no sign for. She never asked what the swan was, or where it came from, or anything else. Koko the gorilla knew about 1,000 signs. Kanzi the bonobo understands more than 3,000 spoken English words. Nim Chimpsky, Herbert Terrace's chimp at Columbia (named to mock the linguist Noam Chomsky), strung 125 signs into more than 20,000 combinations. His longest stretch was "give orange me give eat orange me eat orange give me eat orange give me you." He never asked a thing. Joseph Jordania, a researcher in Melbourne, thinks this is the line between us and them. To ask a question, you first have to know that the person across from you knows something you don't. Apes do not seem to get to that step, even after a lifetime of being talked at by humans. Human kids cross that line around their fourth birthday. Apes never do.

@_brym @rawespresso Fuck off cunt you clearly don't know what you're talking about

@rawespresso How tf are you bitching like a whiny little bitch about needing £75k a year minimum to live comfortably? So delusional and completely out of whack with reality. I bring in less than 35 a year and live comfortably. It's not magic. Learn to live within your means.

The salary you actually need to feel comfortable in the UK in 2026 has more than doubled in the last 15 years. In 2010, £35,000 was a solid graduate salary. You could rent decently, eat out, take a holiday, save a bit. In 2026, the equivalent number — same lifestyle, same level of comfort — is closer to £75,000. That's the difference between 'affording your life' and 'getting by.' £35K used to put you on the comfortable side of that line. £75K is now the entry point. Most people earning £45-£60K in 2026 are quietly running paycheck to paycheck, feeling vaguely confused about why a salary that sounds substantial doesn't actually go very far.

@Maarblek Unfortunately will have to give it a hate-watch just so I have some integrity when I tell everyone how much I hated it.

It will make 750 million dollars and no one will remember it within 5 years

@RunwayDan Saw it recently for the first time.. incredible how punchy it is. Makes you realise how much fluff is in modern films.

Raiders of the Lost Ark is a perfect movie, maybe the only perfect movie. Every scene, every line, every beat propels the story forward.

@TheCinesthetic Shame he shags kids

Tom Hanks did these 12 movies IN A ROW. What a run.

@PubMaverik @Britains___Pubs This is the place I imagine you go get to get euthanasia'd in Switzerland... with less cows

New Hotel next To the Crown Inn, Deansgate, Manchester The people that designed and built it need euthanasia..

@robkhenderson Being a virulent racist shouldn't preclude one from having manners

@fleshsimulator But but but Fraser Nelson showed me a graph 🤤

I FUCKING TOLD YOU THEY WERE LYING ABOUT CRIME BEING DOWN I fucking LIVE HERE and you suburban faggots didn't believe me instead you tried to ruin my life for saying that as someone who was broadly a leftist Now I'm a chud great work guys

@lukejcr If that's what it takes...

Gordon Brown has dedicated his life to fighting child poverty. Reform UK’s big policy: pennies off pints, at the cost of pushing thousands of children into poverty. Who’s the sick joke?

@varrock Over 50% in London. Madness

@nordman__ Please no

Hard to think of someone with less aura and completely unsuitable

@HiddenYorkshire They always assume that YOU'RE the one who's been brainwashed & never consider the reverse could also be true.

A lot of educated liberals have a sort of Magical Povvo view, whereby the underclass who vote right-wing are simply under the spell of the Evil Media Child Catcher, and if they were to simply Read The Proper News the spell would be lifted and they would return to Common Sense. The Povvo cannot possibly be capable of independent thoughts or opinions; they are always simply regurgitating the Lies from the Evil Media

@RollingHedge I really feel economics should be mandatory class in secondary school. This stuff dictates so much of our lives and most people can't even wrap their heads around supply & demand.

Being a socialist is the easiest thing in the world. You never, ever, have to think. You just blurt out reams of emotionally charged nonsense like an infant. This man-child has locked his brain inside a fantasy world that ignores basic human incentives and mathematics, and that cannot begin to comprehend second or third order consequences. Just endless juvenile slop.

@HeracleanVision Think you mean the reversal of ethnic cleansing... & Yes, it does

Very entertaining to see the victory of a local residents association which campaigned primarily against bike lanes, pot holes, and council tax be taken by online chuds as a sign that Britain is ready to vote for their agenda of complete ethnic cleansing

@ericitaIiano Am I the only one that found Andor incredibly dull & slow? Amazing production value but didn't have strong enough performances or writing to keep me engaged. Didn't make it to series 2.

rewatching Andor and it remains a small miracle that dog-brained Lucasfilm gave Tony Gilroy $600M to make a show about institutional rot, the glacial pace of resistance, and the crushing human toll of a revolution that virtually all of its soldiers will never see the fruits of
