Into the void

@dolphinmaria For apparently intelligent people, contraception seems to have been something of a challenge as well.

@incognitionuk He also had at least one bastard child with another mistress while living with his wife and got a previous mistress pregnant twice …

Yeah, yeah, this is the party of Boris Johnson, who abandoned the mother of his four children when she was having cancer treatment, for his mistress. Do one.

@dolphinmaria I suspect you're not alone in that!

School sports funding being cut is something I can get behind. Total waste of time.

@paullewismoney Getting the County Court to give them a judgment tends not to be that straightforward.....

@GarnerStep29201 @Britinfloridaus @Rik_w2010 @DianaRo91347991 No idea. You'd have to take the number of offenders from each party and calculate the per capita rate to effect a valid comparison. I don't know if anyone has done that and I don't have the time.

@incognitionuk @Britinfloridaus @Rik_w2010 @DianaRo91347991 So you’re saying they’re just the same as the rest then?

BREAKING: And another one gone! Reform’s Cambridge County Councillor Andy Osbourne has quit after being convicted of electoral offences. A by-election will now have to be held in Wisbech to replace him. edp24.co.uk/news/26109848.…

@Britinfloridaus @Rik_w2010 @DianaRo91347991 You'd have to produce detailed and precise statistics to establish that.

@incognitionuk @Rik_w2010 @DianaRo91347991 Yes happens in other parties but reform seems to have more

@sksanglia @Rik_w2010 All of a sudden, it's rather quiet round here!

@Rik_w2010 What about the 4 Greens? x.com/Alexarmstrong/…

@Britinfloridaus @Rik_w2010 @DianaRo91347991 Not like any other party, eh?

@Rik_w2010 @DianaRo91347991 Reform think they are righteous and our saviour. Basically. They break the law. As proven here.

@janepurdie1 @cristo_radio @LDNRentersUnion But that's exactly his point! You had a need. It was immediately identifiable as such. Hence it was reasonable for you and the baby to remain.

Oh Cristo, I never thought I’d disagree with you this much, but on this one I really do. I nursed my own mother through her final days with cancer while I was heavily pregnant. I gave birth to my son just before she died — he was only 2 months old when she passed. I couldn’t leave her. She needed me. If I hadn’t been allowed to stay in that house, I would have been on the street with a newborn baby after months of caring for my dying mum. Not everything is black and white. Council homes aren’t just “properties” — they’re family homes, just like any other. Families live there, love there, grieve there, and sometimes care for each other through the hardest times there. Compassion has to exist somewhere in the system

@dolphinmaria The COVID debt and the '08 banking debt will not be dented in my lifetime. Possibly not in my children's lifetimes either. I can always hope for my grandchildren I suppose.

Remember those SAGEocrats who kept on demanding more and tougher lockdowns? Well they didn’t tell you about this part, did they.

@Big_Phil_01 @BBCr4today There's been no shortage of pieces about Starmer and Farage. There's no reason why the Greens should get a free pass.

@BBCr4today So a focus on Starmer not Polanki’s council tax or Farage and his £5 million brown envelope. Shame on the BBC adding to inflation, borrowing cost and the instability.

The Green Party has admitted that its leader Zack Polanski has, until recently, been living on a houseboat in London and may have failed to pay council tax. Dan Neidle, founder of Tax Policy Associates, says he'd like to see an 'explanation' of what happened. A party spokesperson said Mr Polanski had 'taken steps to pay any council tax he may be found to owe' and 'apologised sincerely for the unintentional mistake'.

We're really looking forward to #GMCancerAwards26 tonight. The 'This Van Can' awareness roadshow which we worked on with @targetovarian & @GM_Cancer has been shortlisted! We can't wait to be there to hear about all the fantastic work that has been going on across the area too. ❤️

@SimonBGriffiths @sharrond62 Excellent!

@incognitionuk @sharrond62 100% true.

Very sad to see this. I was in LA when she won her Grammy. Everyone was clambering to get their picture with her yet she made a beeline to say hello to a fellow Brit. Always very down to earth. Wishing a Speedy recovery

@SimonBGriffiths @sharrond62 Is this true, or just a great story?

@sharrond62 Met her a few years ago at the Hardwick restaurant in Abergavenny when I worked there. She came in the kitchen and sang Totally Pissed as a Fart 😂😂😂

@FamilyLawCafe I really can't see the point of this application. As far as I can see all the assets are out of the jurisdiction, so how is it enforceable? There was a previous application in another jurisdiction, an order was made and implemented. Many millions were paid to the wife.

@JonyProMax @noclador And yet you support Ukraine against Putin? Why?

@incognitionuk @noclador Until the Cypriots will demand the brits to stop the occupation of 3% of their island. An occupation that only brings them attacks from Iran. And a matter of time until the argentines will take back the “Falklands”

So many Brits tweeting "Falklands are British"... which is a sign of despair. If you got an interesting island & no navy to defend it, a mightier navy will come & take it. The Brits should know all about this... as island grabbing is what the Royal Navy did for 4 centuries

@JonyProMax @noclador And the current situation - the only one that really matters - is what?

@incognitionuk @noclador The Brit’s weren’t even the first one to discover the islands just the western one. “Port Stanley” was a French village that was later diplomatically moved to Spain. In the mean while the Brit’s left for decades and the Argentine’s started using it and then the brits returned.

@KennyEdw I think you'll find it props up the Chinese economy. That's the world's major manufacturing centre and has been for a long time now.

It feels like our leaders are de-industrialising Europe in order to prop up the US economy. Why would they willingly shut us off from cheap oil and gas? Why make our goods uncompetitive? It makes no sense.

@hughp1970 @ds9trek @DanielJHannan It's not investment, it's spending. Investment is spending to generate a financial return. Statistics now show that a high proportion of those entering the country will cost the state more than they generate, so accommodating them is expenditure, not investment.

@ds9trek @DanielJHannan The problem is a lack of investment in all of those things. This lack of investment isn't the fault of immigrants. Pretty sure I was reasonably clear about that the first time round.

“For reasons which they could not comprehend, and in pursuance of a decision by default, on which they were never consulted, they found themselves made strangers in their own country. They found their wives unable to obtain hospital beds in childbirth, their children unable to obtain school places, their homes and neighbourhoods changed beyond recognition, their plans and prospects for the future defeated; at work they found that employers hesitated to apply to the immigrant worker the standards of discipline and competence required of the native-born worker; they began to hear, as time went by, more and more voices which told them that they were now the unwanted. On top of this, they now learn that a one-way privilege is to be established by Act of Parliament; a law which cannot, and is not intended to, operate to protect them or redress their grievances, is to be enacted to give the stranger, the disgruntled and the agent provocateur the power to pillory them for their private actions.” #OTD 1968
