You are taking the fucking piss. You can break a coppers nose in an airport and walk free, but hurty words on the internet will get you three years.
This country is done. There's a different justice system in play depending on who you are.
News on the ground from Makerfield is that Andy Burnham is already getting angry and shouting at people.
His sense of self-entitlement is revealing itself.
It’s reasonable to assume that interactions with constituents aren’t going the way that he hoped?
A very proud day for me has a dad, but a very special day for our Lukas as he will be making his first team debut for @WiganWarriorsRL this evening against hull KR. You’ve come a long way son since you first started playing rugby for clock face minors in St.helens as a 5 year old, I knew you was going to be special way back then. Proud to be his dad.
Activist: "Your cows are putting carbon into the atmosphere."
Farmer: "Where did they get it?"
Activist: "What?"
Farmer: "The carbon. Where did the cow get it before it put it anywhere."
Activist: "From... eating?"
Farmer: "From eating grass. And where did the grass get it."
Activist: "The soil?"
Farmer: "The air. The grass pulled it out of the air last spring. The cow ate the grass. The cow breathed some of it back out. It went back into the air it came from."
Activist: "But it's still going into the atmosphere."
Farmer: "It's going back. There's a difference between a thing going somewhere and a thing going back. You've described a circle and you're frightened of it."
Activist: "Then just don't have the cow."
Farmer: "The grass still dies in autumn. It rots where it falls. The carbon goes back into the air either way, just without anyone getting fed in the middle."
Activist: "It's not that simple."
Farmer: "It's grass, cow, breath, grass. Or it's grass, rot, air, grass. Same circle, fewer dinners. If that's complicated for you I'd stay away from the water cycle. That one's got clouds in it."

Activist: "The grain that goes to cattle could end world hunger."
Farmer: "Which grain?"
Activist: "The grain you feed your cows."
Farmer: "Mine eat grass."
Activist: "...all of them?"
Farmer: "All of them. The field grows grass. The cow eats the grass. Through winter she gets a bit of brewer's mash and sugar beet pulp alongside the silage."
Activist: "There it is."
Farmer: "There what is. Brewer's mash is the spent barley from a brewery. The brewery has already taken the sugars out for the beer. Sugar beet pulp is what's left after the sugar is pressed out for your tea. The cow eats what's left after we've squeezed the calories out for ourselves."
Activist: "But Ethiopia could eat it."
Farmer: "Ethiopia would politely send it back. It's wet, mouldy, and ferments in the bag inside a week. She's the recycling bin. You're shipping the bin to a country that already has bins."
Activist: "But the actual grain. Wheat. Barley."
Farmer: "Goes to humans. The cow gets the husks and the pressings. The bit your jaw would file a complaint about."
Activist: "There must be a way."
Farmer: "There is. The cow turns the leftovers into beef. The bin has been full for a century. You just noticed."

But Christian genocide in Nigeria? Thousands slaughtered, churches burned for years… total silence.
We all know why.
Jai Arrow announces immediate retirement from the #NRL following a diagnosis of Motor Neurone Disease after months of testing. Just 30 years old and a recent new father. News like this makes everything else feel so insignificant.

Re #Makerfield
Burnham is not local. He was neither born, raised or educated in Wigan or Makerfield. He was born in Liverpool and went to school in Warrington and St Helens. That's just a fact.
@monkeycloud4@yicker Jack played hooker v saints in 2024. He was good but physically beaten and I don’t think he was able bodied enough to play again that year
The best way to use French on hamstring injury return is to start him @ narrow-rightsided-six for a number of sports science reasons
@yicker Well as Jack is the backup in the halves, Noah has now cemented himself as the backup to all the back 3 positions now. Remember when folk were screaming about squad depth a few months ago
Farrimond is a fantastic player and he could get another four motm but you’re never dropping French. He’s the best player in the league .
Harsh I know but true
Farrimond is a youngster and he’ll become our regular stand off in a couple of seasons.
Surprise, surprise.
Josh Simons to get a plum job advising Andy Burnham in No.10.
There was always a question of what he’d been promised in order to make stepping down worth his while. The arrogance is breathtaking.
Different leader, same chumocracy.
My opinion piece based on my personal experiences with @AndyBurnhamGM in my work fighting for change, and justice for survivors and victims of sexual abuse written for today’s @DailyMail ….
Burnham wasted the chance to give a voice to grooming gang victims dailymail.com/debate/article…
This is hilarious. The Daily Mail has revealed that Andy Burnham was jogging at 12.18pm, then he returned home 45 minutes in his VW Golf.
His jog was just a photo op. Why pretend to jog?
It just makes him look fake and untrustworthy. Something the public hate about politics.

Activist: "Wool is cruel. The sheep should be left alone."
Farmer: "Alone where?"
Activist: "In a sanctuary."
Farmer: "Doing what."
Activist: "Just being a sheep."
Farmer: "Sheep have been bred for ten thousand years to grow a fleece that doesn't stop. If I don't shear her, she overheats, gets fly strike, and dies in her own coat with maggots eating her from the skin down."
Activist: "Then breed sheep that don't grow wool."
Farmer: "We did. They're called mouflon. They live on cliffs in Sardinia and would last forty minutes on a Welsh hillside before something ate them."
Activist: "I just don't think we should use animals for clothing."
Farmer: "What's your jumper made of."
Activist: "...recycled polyester."
Farmer: "Plastic, then. Sheds microfibre into the washing machine every wash. The fibres go through the filter, into the river, into the fish, into you. When you're done with it, it sits in a landfill for four hundred years. My sheep's fleece composts in a hedge in eighteen months and grew back on her this spring."
Activist: "But the sheep didn't consent."
Farmer: "She was lying down with her eyes closed when I finished. She got up and went back to eating. I'd suggest you ask her how she feels, but she's busy, and I think she's already given her answer."
Make sure everyone you know in Makerfield sees this clip from September 2025. Burnham saying he will put the UK back in the EU.
