@Amemonkeys @escapefrommelos You don't know how to eat a flat bread and curry without getting your fingers in your mouth?
English
@inijjer @escapefrommelos Yeah I've seen that, and maybe I'm wrong but that way you still insert your fingers into your mouth. People can do whatever they want and if you wash your hands properly there shouldn't be any issues, but i wouldn't want to share a meal with someone that has saliva on their hands

>there isn’t a single good argument against eating with your hands

There hasn’t been a single good argument against eating with your hands other than “it looks weird” or “it’s the wrong type of food to eat with your hands”
English
@Amemonkeys @escapefrommelos So through a medium. Such as flat bread, or a bun, or rice, or fufu and such.
English
@inijjer @escapefrommelos Well you mentioned curry, and curry sauce is (or can be) a kind of stew, that was what I imagined when you mentioned it
English
@Amemonkeys @escapefrommelos How can you eat a stew with your hands?
English
@inijjer @escapefrommelos Yeah, basically that, any wet food (like stews for example) carry a high risk of giving you health issues if you eat them directly with your hands because we're always touching random stuff and inserting the hands into the mouth lets whatever we touched inside our bodies
English
@Amemonkeys @escapefrommelos So you're saying that it's not eating with your hands that's the problem, it's the eating of rice (with Currys) with your hands that is?
English
@inijjer @escapefrommelos Correct, the danger of ingesting something bad from your hands is there, but I suppose there's less possibility of it happening if you don't insert any part of your hand into your mouth. I'm not an expert and could be mistaken though

I mean, what are the chances in an area that is 85% White British, that my local Subway has 5 Indians working and zero white Brits.
We need to scrap DEI.

The amount of English kids I know who are struggling to get work, only for the job to be given to a rude Indian who can't speak a word of English.

@Amemonkeys @escapefrommelos The bits of food you touch go in your mouth.
English
@inijjer @escapefrommelos When you eat pizza, fish and chips, wings or burgers you don't usually get your fingers inside your mouth. Also, maybe with the exception of wings (depending on how they're prepared), those aren't wet foods

@Stephen37846115 @FellowshipofUK @Keir_Starmer He's saying you're the problem Stephen. How does that make you feel? Maybe when they're done with eliminating one section of society, they'll start on other elements for not being enthusiastic enough.
English
@FellowshipofUK @Keir_Starmer I’m not worried. Because I know I am not racist it facist. How about you ?
English
I'm not a racist or a fascist I am a gay man who has worked from 16. I will retire in 4 years .
I have always loved my country but am so disillusioned with the present @Keir_Starmer and past conservative government who I gave my vote to. I have been let down in many ways.
That's why I am voting for Reform 👍👍 @Nigel_Farage for PM

@HiddenYorkshire And even as an adult. I don't know. All things seem inevitable after the fact, but the optimist in me still believes that choices matter.
English
@HiddenYorkshire The "audience" is not conditioned in that way at all. Even as a 14 year old I understood that he was both innocent and guilty. The main question I asked myself after reading it, is not whether he deserved punishment or not, but how could it been stopped.

I've just read Of Mice and Men for the first time since high school and I'm going to be very woke for a moment because my reading of it has changed quite significantly since then.
Yes, Lennie is just big and friendly and doesn't know his own strength and wouldn't hurt a fly etc etc but the whole plot - and audience sympathy - hinges on a physically intimidating, mentally disabled man repeatedly grabbing and holding onto women's clothes. Yes, we know he doesn't mean anything by it, he just wants to touch the purty clothing; but the women don't know that, and the audience is conditioned to sympathise with Lennie and not the women who are terrified by him. Curley's Wife doesn't even get a name, and she's a whore with red lipstick anyway.
And it's not an isolated incident. Lennie did it at Weeds, which is what got him and George kicked out of there, and he did again to Curley's Wife. Now imagine that you're one of the women suddenly cornered by a hulking creature of a man who grabs you and doesn't let go and tells you how he loves your red dress, and there's nothing you can do to stop it. That's terrifying. That is where my locus of sympathy sits. Of Mice and Men is a complex book, but I find myself increasingly uncomfortable with the way the audience is conditioned to sympathise and associate with Lennie.

@GSloth79 @TheGriftReport If you were truly a sloth you could have been more efficient with your words. Can boil all that into 6 of your own words. "I find it hard to sympathise". It's probably a you issue.

21-year-old Ukrainian Maria Kovalchuk was horrifically abused by four expat millionaires in a Dubai hotel room in March 2025,
the Russian and Belarusian men along with two women drugged her, treated her like an object, told her “you belong to us, we can do what we want” and beat her unconscious when she tried to escape,
she was later found on the roadside with a shattered vertebra, both collarbones broken, crushed foot and ankle, open fractures and spent eight days in a coma,
Maria claims Dubai authorities covered it up, told her she fell from a construction site, quickly released the suspects and even seized her passport and phone,
now living in Norway she says the perpetrators have sent death threats saying “we will find you, we will come to Norway” and “say goodbye to your family”,
she has installed panic buttons at home and is too scared to post her location,

@Lady_Astor @Radish656 What the fuck do you know about the UK then?
English
The whole Malvinas discourse has gotten ridiculous. Argentina can and will pursue the diplomatic path to gain sovereignty over the islands, but there will never be another invasion. However, the exaggerated rhetoric from British people who have been unable to protect their own homeland and allow foreigners to speak in their behalf feels absurd.
Argentina must first fix its own problems and Milei must be reelected next year.
Britain must recover their homeland.
These two things must happen before anything is done about the islands.
I personally believe that the best solution would be joint sovereignty and territorial control over the Southern Atlantic that prevents the encroachment of BRICS countries over the region and strategic passes through the oceans. But that’s just me. I don’t think in terms of what the current situation is but what it could be.
English
You compare UK positions on use of force (under the United Nations Charter) with a sovereignty dispute. These are different legal frameworks.
Resolutions like United Nations General Assembly Resolution 2065 call for negotiations but are non-binding and don’t decide sovereignty.
Saying Self Determination “does not apply” ignores that this is legally contested, not settled.
You present the 1833 expulsion as clear-cut illegality, but the historical sovereignty claims are disputed.
English
The United Kingdom loves to invoke international law and the UN Charter when criticizing the US-led strikes on Iran in 2026, yet it conveniently ignores the same rules when the UN itself has repeatedly declared that the Malvinas/Falklands constitute a colonial situation requiring a negotiated solution.
General Assembly Resolution 2065 (1965) and the latest C24 decolonization committee resolution from June 2025 explicitly recognize the sovereignty dispute between Argentina and the UK and call for bilateral negotiations to resolve it peacefully, bearing in mind the interests (not the veto power) of the inhabitants. Self-determination does not apply here because the current population consists of British settlers transplanted after Britain illegally expelled Argentine authorities by force in 1833, a classic case of colonial dismemberment where territorial integrity prevails—as the ICJ affirmed in the 2019 Chagos opinion.
Argentina has never renounced its legitimate inheritance from Spain under uti possidetis juris, and it continues to offer dialogue, as Argentina's Foreign Minister did just yesterday. Britain’s refusal to even discuss sovereignty while lecturing others on the “rules-based order” is pure hypocrisy: either the UN process and international law matter, or they don’t.

I am a Catholic, but I must say that this Pope is moving funny to me.
There is a whole Christian genocide going on in Nigeria where he once lived.
But this man is more focused on the war in Iran and its politics.
Hello Sir, there is a war in Nigeria and Africa too, and Christians are victims.
He is the Pope of Christians first before anything else.
And the welfare of Christians especially those who are being persecuted should be his priority.
But Christians were massacred during Easter in Nigeria for their faith and I did not see any strong condemnation or reaction from the Pope.
Instead the Pope is consistently focused on the middle East and Donald Trump's and Isreals war with Terrorists.
I sincerely do not understand this Pope.
It is Silence in the face of evil that makes evil multiply.
What exactly does he want the world to do with terrorists who believe their destiny is to kill every unbeliever and take over the world?
I hope that this Pope gets his priorities right.

My position as a patriot is clear, and I've laid it out in my previous replies.
To re-confirm, a native Brit is born and raised on these shores, speaks the King's English, respects our traditions, history, laws, and way of life - and puts 'Britain first', no apologies, no exceptions.
That includes anyone of any background whose loyalty is to this country above all, who contributes more than they take, and doesn't hedge their bets with foreign loyalties.
It 100% excludes those - of any faith or origin - who push foreign homelands, foreign laws like sharia, or parallel societies that divide and conquer. Integration isn't optional, it's necessay.
Country before creed. Britain first. Full stop.

Fasting dawn to dust is just skipping breakfast and lunch to have a big dinner.
Why are we pretending this is some noble feat?
@
After a month of fasting dawn to dusk - never has a flat white tasted so good. Eid Mubarak! ☕️

I don’t want to be unkind here but fast has ended just after 6pm every day this week…couldn’t he have just had a flat white then? And is he deliberately trying to look exhausted and malnourished?

@NealOKelly @dominicgrieve_ @NJ_Timothy You've heard of the Church of England and the monarch as the head of church and state right?

@dominicgrieve_ @NJ_Timothy You've heard of the Reformation, right? Bloody Mary? The dissolution of the monasteries?

The wilful misunderstanding in this post says everything about the people behind the “Islamophobia” definition.
The point is not that Sikhs have danced on Trafalgar Square.
Or that the Passion Play has been hosted there.
Neither is the point that Muslims gathered on Trafalgar Square.
The point is that mass ritual prayer in public - in this case next to a church - is an act of domination.
So is the public call of the Adhan, which explicitly denies other religions including Christianity.
That is the difference.
And yet neither Dominic - nor the Labour MPs who were instructed by No10 to attack me last night - will engage with the substance.
Instead he claims he knows my personal views when we haven’t talked, and incorrectly describes me as a spokesman for the Free Speech Union.
People like Dominic can’t work out why the ideological world they built is falling apart. They never pause to wonder if perhaps they might have got things very badly wrong.
Dominic Grieve@dominicgrieve_
This is a very odd post from a Conservative who says he believes in freedom of expression under law and is a principal spokesman of the Free Speech Union. I appreciate that he does not like Islam and there is no reason why he should. As a Christian it is not my faith. But the use of Trafalgar Square ( with permission) for religious events Christian and other goes back a long way. There have been prayers and hymns, chants and religious events performed there in the past. If such an event 'shouldn't happen again' it raises the question of whether this is to apply to all religious events or just to Muslim ones. If to all, then we are moving like France to imposing secularism as a norm and it is contrary to our national tradition and does not seem to have helped develop social cohesion there.If just to Muslims then it is an act of discrimination against them without any lawful basis. To achieve it you would have to enact discriminatory legislation targeted at Muslims. Is this what Nick Timothy is advocating ?

@NealOKelly @dominicgrieve_ @NJ_Timothy I'll let the local church group know, they might have to stop their carol singing in the town centre at Christmas and their passion of the christ walk through town every Easter. They'll be gutted.
