@LindyTasteful I don’t think it’s a conscious decision… it’s just fallen into.

I dont know of any couple that's seriously putting off having kids just so they can travel. It's a fake online narrative

@johannesmkx As a some consolation to the destruction of a nation, they are creating huge value for shareholders.

A people can only spend its vigor once, either on offspring of on the economy, but never both. Poland being the latest proof.

@Aberamazon @Pibydd I heard they are only taking feedback in Welsh.

@Pibydd As a non-Welsh-speaker and longtime Plaid Voter this sort of thing doesn't warm my cockles, and we'd do well not to grandstand about it. Because that'll tend to alienate friends, and will for sure be weaponised by enemies.

Every minister in the new Plaid Cymru Cabinet is a fluent Cymraeg speaker. For the first time in 622 years, since the parliament of Owain Glyndŵr, our government will hold its Cabinet meetings in Cymraeg, the mother-tongue of our nation, and indigenous language of Britain 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

@KayBurley @AndyBurnhamGM Is Streeting trying to gain remain voters to his campaign, or cynically make makerfield voters turn from Burnham by reopening the debate which may favour reform locally? 🤔

The @AndyBurnhamGM appeal is that he can reach the parts of Labour that other politicians can’t permeate, holding together both socially liberal city voters on one side and the older working class Brexit supporting towns on the other. Useful given his route back to Westminster must pass through Makerfield, a seat in a region that voted heavily to Leave. Enter the former Health Sec @wesstreeting who has decided to stir the pot. His supporters deny Wes is up to mischief but the backbencher - for now - has certainly raised the temperature by describing Brexit as a historic mistake and reopening an argument Labour has spent years desperately trying to close down. The thinking goes that the good people of Makerfield, near Wigan, will be spooked by the suggestion Britain could be back in the Euro fold before they’ve finished their meat pie barm cakes. A reference meant with fondness for my fellow pie-eaters… I know the area well, my sister lives nearby, and I grew up covering stories there for the Evening Post and Chronicle in the 70s and 80s when the miners’ strike dominated headlines. What I’m saying is don’t underestimate the good people of Makerfield. Like many communities across the North West, Brexit was never simply about Europe. It was about identity, frustration and feeling ignored. @Nigel_Farage is speaking the language of some, but not all. Locals will listen, give all sides a fair hearing and then decide who is the best candidate to give them a voice in Westminster. No political party should take them for granted.

@MichaelShurkin We need to disincentivise these nonsense words.

What is the purpose of the word "kinetic" in this post?

@Keith02 Will perhaps never recover from your strange boomer rants. Maybe call me a retard or a mong next. That will show me how clever you are. Follow it up with a rant at a public transport and some perving on women and some shit long haired rock. What were u doing at the kids club btw?

@inklinkerman I can see why you’re upset though , I’d be annoyed too, being goaded all day. I’m starting to feel a bit cruel now. It’s unkind to poke fun at the little wheelchair ones.

UK places last place in the Eurovision with just 1 point. This was the UK’s entry…

@Keith02 Good one. 👍

@inklinkerman Oh look he’s got some gifs too !! I applaud X letting these autistic ones post. Makes a change from prodding him and laughing I suppose .

@Keith02 @LeonaraLondon

@inklinkerman @LeonaraLondon Good job we’ve got your to cheer us up, eh ? No sad faces when this one fires up his sharp tongue , apparently . Yet to see it myself , but hope springs eternal eh !

@Keith02 What a surprise…

@inklinkerman I couldn’t give a shite what you believe or don’t !! 😂😂😂. Jesus wept the silly little clown thinks he’s important . If I wanted to talk to a vegetable I would have bought one on the market .

@michaeltanchum @WorldEconomics We need to make having children financially attractive and viable for young people. Because otherwise the whole system won’t be.

@Tom_Rowsell @Nairobifatlover Source?

The two most Celtic people of England are the Cumbrians (52%) and the Cornish (51%). Cornwall has a population of nearly 600k but only around 110k are ethnic Cornishmen. Cumbria has a population of around 500k - the ethnic Cumbrian population is not recorded but i expect it is similar to Cornwall. If so, the two combined make up approximately 0.34% of England’s population. Using these outliars to define England is unscientific. They are important and interesting cultures but they are not like most ethnic Englishmen.

@Tom_Rowsell Lovely shot of a Cumbrian and his wife there.

@Osint613 The shepherd told you so …

On July 14, 2025, a Syrian shepherd filmed 2 low-flying C-130 transport aircraft, believed to be Israeli, crossing the remote desert near the Iraqi border. At the time, the footage drew little attention. Today, that video looks far more significant after reports revealed that Israel had established at least 2 covert operating bases deep inside western Iraq, in the tri-border desert region near Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and Syria. @scharobajalan

@RealJarnoSays @RelhatsT @RealDianeYap I wasn’t insulting I was describing accurately. I wonder if you have a complicated relationship with your parents or…oh actually I don’t care. It is probably good that you don’t reproduce as you say.

No, eugenics has to do with genes. I am talking about the skills and ability to raise kids. Trying to insult me doesn't help your position. If it is indeed difficult to raise kids, by its definition then not everyone can or should raise kids. You should select only those people suited for the job. If it is normal and average, and everyone could do it, then it is not hard nor difficult.

Having kids is not an accomplishment Any boob can get someone pregnant. No one wants to hear about your kid’s unimpressive accomplishments. Different people enjoy different things, Joe. You see how the argument works against your preferences as well?

@miriam_cates @spectator No it was the GFC and the cost of living.

"Fertility has fallen sharply since smartphones were introduced. Social media reduces face-to-face interaction, a prerequisite for meeting romantic partners & having sex. Dating & seduction require compromise, effort & risk; it’s easier to doomscroll." My thoughts in @spectator on why kicking under 16s off social media is essential for civilisational survival 👇 spectator.com/article/is-tik…

@LeonaraLondon @Keith02 Don’t aggravate him Susie… he’s very grouchy 🤣

@Keith02 @inklinkerman @OliLondonTV Good grief.

@Keith02 If you can explain it I might actually believe you.

@inklinkerman @LeonaraLondon @OliLondonTV I got it , I just did a good job of hiding my eruption of laughter . With punchlines like that, I’m surprised Micky Flanagan hasn’t been in touch.

@SamLovesEngland @BasilTheGreat A scion of the Sussex Adegoke’s?

@BasilTheGreat Her name is Olukemi Olufunto Adegoke Badenoch. Use her correct name.

Kemi Badenoch talking in her original Yoruba accent She says she loves Nigeria as much as she loves the UK Recently she let slip she was born in Nigeria and not the UK despite claiming previously she was born here Why has no one asked her about this?

@Mr_Andrew_Fox @simonmontefiore You can see where all that Emirati money has gone🤣

@Keith02 @LeonaraLondon @OliLondonTV That wasn’t a joke. You still missed the first one by such a margin you still have zero idea do you?

@inklinkerman @LeonaraLondon @OliLondonTV Another classic, thank goodness I’m wearing my belt for I think my sides have split. Don’t become a stand up comedian , you’d starve to death. Apart from the words , your replies are great though !!
