George Smiley

Nothing dishonourable in not being blown about by every little modern wind. Better to have worth, to be an oak of one's own generation.

@sksanglia @markpalexander @supersoftcuddly @TimFletcher1975 @geezermcgeezer @boff64 @StanleyFletch15 @TrippyPip @Arron_banks That would require it to be untrue. This from the FT two days ago.

@georgescircus @markpalexander @supersoftcuddly @TimFletcher1975 @geezermcgeezer @boff64 @StanleyFletch15 @TrippyPip I am sure @arron_banks will want to know, what a nutcase is saying about him. I hope he sues you for every penny you have.

@JuliaHadley15 @FourSkinners @markpalexander @supersoftcuddly @TimFletcher1975 @geezermcgeezer @boff64 @StanleyFletch15 @TrippyPip Google is your friend here. FT two days ago.

@BNP_Bexley My father fought at El Alamein and Monte Cassino, he was awarded the MC. He was a proud supporter of the EU, a patriot and hated racism and extreme right wing politics in all its forms.

@BNP_Bexley Except our *forefathers* fought with Europeans against actual facists . Like you .

My uncle was a fighter pilot in WW2. Shot down 3 times in Battle Of Britain. He was so badly hurt he could no longer fly so RAF took him off active pilot’s duty and transferred to Bomber Command. As rear gunner ‘tail-end Charlie’ he was killed over Germany. He didn’t die for you.

Very sad. The South coast needs real jobs. Not just wealthy weekenders.

@tweetandshort @markpalexander @supersoftcuddly @TimFletcher1975 @geezermcgeezer @boff64 @StanleyFletch15 @TrippyPip Standing as a character witness is make a representation on behalf of the defendant. Arron Banks represented a member of a #GroomingGang. Defending the indefensible seems like a Leave trait nowadays.

@georgescircus @markpalexander @supersoftcuddly @TimFletcher1975 @geezermcgeezer @boff64 @StanleyFletch15 @TrippyPip So didn't represent paedophiles, as I say, give your head a wobble

@sksanglia @markpalexander @supersoftcuddly @TimFletcher1975 @geezermcgeezer @boff64 @StanleyFletch15 @TrippyPip You are defending Arron Banks, a man who defended a sexual predator who is part of a #GroomingGang. I’ll be the judge of who is “sick” dear boy.

@georgescircus @markpalexander @supersoftcuddly @TimFletcher1975 @geezermcgeezer @boff64 @StanleyFletch15 @TrippyPip You are as sick as him

@geezermcgeezer @sksanglia @markpalexander @supersoftcuddly @TimFletcher1975 @boff64 @StanleyFletch15 @TrippyPip What do you mean?

@geezermcgeezer @Britain1215 @markpalexander @supersoftcuddly @TimFletcher1975 @boff64 @StanleyFletch15 @TrippyPip I don’t think it was in good taste.

@geezermcgeezer @JuliaHadley15 @FourSkinners @markpalexander @supersoftcuddly @TimFletcher1975 @boff64 @StanleyFletch15 @TrippyPip Well yes. That’s exactly the point.

@geezermcgeezer @markpalexander @supersoftcuddly @TimFletcher1975 @boff64 @StanleyFletch15 @TrippyPip Yes. It would. Branding Leave voters as supporters of sexual predators just because Arron Banks supported a #GroomingGang would be just as ridiculous as saying all Muslims are Paedophiles. #LeaveFail

@RWaterworks178 @markpalexander @supersoftcuddly @TimFletcher1975 @geezermcgeezer @boff64 @StanleyFletch15 @TrippyPip You’re right. It was a bad taste joke. That said the thing he said about Banks is true so he shouldn’t delete it. He is doing something to promote awareness of #GroomingGangs not trying to sweep it under the carpet. This from the FT

@sksanglia @markpalexander @supersoftcuddly @TimFletcher1975 @geezermcgeezer @boff64 @StanleyFletch15 @TrippyPip At least he is doing something to promote awareness of this dreadful behaviour. Unlike you who are condoning it. #GroomingGangs

@markpalexander @supersoftcuddly @TimFletcher1975 @geezermcgeezer @boff64 @StanleyFletch15 @TrippyPip Go get help you are a sick person

@Britain1215 @markpalexander @supersoftcuddly @TimFletcher1975 @geezermcgeezer @boff64 @StanleyFletch15 @TrippyPip You’re right. It was a bad taste joke about Jimmy Saville. That said the thing he said about Banks is true so he shouldn’t delete it. This from the FT.

@markpalexander @supersoftcuddly @TimFletcher1975 @geezermcgeezer @boff64 @StanleyFletch15 @TrippyPip Mark Reread this, give your head a wobble, if you still think it's valuable contribution I'd be surprised, Have a great day

@JuliaHadley15 @FourSkinners @markpalexander @supersoftcuddly @TimFletcher1975 @geezermcgeezer @boff64 @StanleyFletch15 @TrippyPip Sadly it is true. Arron Banks aided a sexual predator, one of a #GroomingGang, in their trial. This from the FT two days ago.

@RWaterworks178 @markpalexander @Channel4News Tell that to the kids whose lives are ruined. Banks tried to get them off.

This is what happened when we asked Arron Banks if he would appear on Channel 4 News to answer questions over Brexit funds and claims of misleading MPs.

As the young officer shouted 'Over the top!' and blew his whistle, knowing that many of his men would not return, he was sure that their deaths would not be in vain. Their future descendants would be free to do Nazi salutes and shout at our allies and brown people with impunity.
