@bea_johanssen @LadyColinCampb His late mother didn't throw a party for 1000 muslims thus dramatically raising the expectations of every other religious group. He now needs to do the same for every other group on that scale. Christmas, Easter, Holi, Diwali, Gurpurbs, Hola Mohalla... the lot, 1000 ppl a time.

A pity that you failed to point out that the King's observance of Easter this year was as it is every year - and no different to his late mother's. Pandering to those who seek to subsume the monarchy into a race war narrative to make a few bucks says far more about you than CIII.

Having received a multitude of complaints about King Charles III's failure to mark the most important day in the Christian calendar, the day of Resurrection, despite having marked Ramadan and Eid, and having recognised that his Christian subjects' just concerns should be listened to and acted upon when doing so costs very little and will reap dividends above and beyond the effort expended, while failing to do so might ultimately prove to be irreversibly damaging, I hope he will begin listening to the complaints of his subjects, and not fall prey to the error which his first cousins three times removed, Tsar Nicholas II and the Tsarina Alexandra, made in the months before February 1917. Had Nicholas and Alexandra simply listened to the valid concerns of their subjects, rather than ignoring them in the mistaken belief that they were too trivial to warrant attention, all that happened after February 1917 might well have been averted. While resolve is a valuable quality in a leader, pigheadedness is not. Unless The King begins to listen to the concerns his Christian subjects have that he is promoting the interests of Islam over those of Christianity, he runs the risk of unnecessarily alienating the very people who are a cornerstone in the edifice of his Crown. I do appreciate that Easter addresses have not been a traditional part of the Monarch's remit, but since addresses relating to Ramadan and Eid have not been either, he might consider that the virtue of evenhandedness will prevent many of the problems that are arising when the Supreme Governor of the Church of England neglects to mark the most important day of his Church's calendar while having marked similarly significant dates in the Islamic calendar. And let's not forget Diwali. He managed to mark that too. All very noble and inclusive and a means of showing respect for others' faiths, but let's also not forget that charity starts at home, and before one endows others with one's largesse, it might be sensible to apportion an appropriate degree of attention closer to home. Otherwise one runs the risk of taking for granted those whom one should not be ignoring, and whom one might ignore at one's own peril.

@AngloNattico @_stonyd @Telegraph @mattmellberg Integration works OK with lots of cultures. Problem is the UK went out of its way to import the worst people on the planet instead of the best.

@_stonyd @Telegraph @mattmellberg No it hasn't. It has been majority British until very recently. Had Birmingham stayed 80%+ British it would be a great place to be. Multiculturalism is a cancer, and it kills everything. The people who came in the 60's and 70's also have to go. Integration is a myth.

England’s supposed second city has never looked, felt or indeed smelt worse. Overflowing rubbish, rat infestations and relentless council tax rises paint a grim picture of Labour's legacy in Birmingham. The Telegraph investigates what went wrong ⬇️ telegraph.co.uk/money/bills/co…

@nik2181 @_stonyd @Telegraph @mattmellberg They may have been poor but there weren't terrorists standing in elections and the people living there did not hate the rest of us and dream of destroying our society.

@_stonyd @Telegraph @mattmellberg All the areas that are occupied by foreigners have been shitholes for decades it is just that no one in the majority white areas seen it that much. The more "diverse" Birmingham has become the more these shitholes have expanded out to the previously decent areas.

@amas515 @lyndall19414 @HoodedClaw1974 Arabs did worse. Look at the copts, druze, yazidi, zorostrians hanging by a thread. No Jews left. Christians and Hindus persecuted in Pakistan. Worst slave trade in history. I would sooner accept a moral lecture from a cannibal tribe than a muslim Arab.

This is exactly the wrong understanding of Islam. You are in Australia and you raped land that was never yours in the first place. What do you say about that? The Epstein files have shown only a small part of the inhuman practices of the biggest Western figures, the financial and political decision makers, along with Christian and Jewish religious leaders in a way that has never happened before in all of history.

Former New York Mayor Rudi Giuliani puts Piers Morgan straight about Islam, and the affect it is having on the UK. Morgan must be on somebody's pay role to say this rubbish. Surely he cant be that stupid?

@amas515 @HoodedClaw1974 Don't waste your time. It means submission and it says nothing but bad things about me and my children. Your imams spew nothing but hatred of me and my children, record themselves doing it and put it online for all to see.

Completely wrong understanding of Islam. Giuliani says that he has been studying Islam since he was 19 years old, I am sure that he studied it from people who hate Islam. Islam means peace. Only the rational and fair minded people know this and appreciate it. As for the rest, they have no influence on Islam or on Muslims.

@LisaMay64 @mikegalsworthy We liked the queen but are not so keen on the wannabe Caliph we have now. Think they are cooked now tbh.

@mikegalsworthy “Our King”, ok subject😂 Does that not make you feel like a useless piece of crap? We don’t have Kings here in America!

We cannot let our King stand alongside this unhinged man, surely. Nor can we let our bases or airspace be used by the US military after its Commander-in-Chief has now announced explicit intent to carry our war crimes by targeting vital civilian infrastructure.

@paraskip @RachelReevesMP Did your company have any graduate trainees? I haven't seen one in decades. All older people with experience planning their exit and mediocre contractor's from the developing world. In 10 years their tacit knowledge will be gone.

I’m counting down the days until my wife & I flee this moribund, 3rd world shithole you’re inept, corrupt & traitorous ilk have turned the UK into. September can’t come soon enough. It’s ironic that the company I currently work for are struggling to find an engineer with the skills, qualifications & experience I have for me to mentor & train before I leave the failed, STAZI state of Britain. Taking my extortionate taxes & seemingly irreplaceable skills & qualifications with me. The billionaires & multi millionaires have fled,now it’s the turn of the ambitious & skilled ‘Middle Classes’ to flee.

Today we are lifting 450,000 children out of poverty with the end of the two-child limit.  This Labour Government is achieving the biggest reduction in child poverty over a Parliament since records began.  Change promised. Change delivered.

@JohnHann04 No it is better it happens sooner rather than later. A badly needed wake up call Birmingham is perfectly positioned to deliver.

Predictions are coming in for Birmingham City council which could plausibly see a coalition of Islamic independent councillors, Green councillors and Workers party councillors take overall control of Birmingham. If that happens it can set a precedent for many other cities, towns and locations across the U.K. That would be devastating for our democracy and the political landscape. We don’t know what the actual vote will be but given the recent rise of Independent candidates locally and at national level who back these causes plus the alliance between the Greens and the Muslim vote group as demonstrated by the result in Gorton & Denton it’s becoming increasingly likely. You NEED to get off your arse and vote against it.

@MiddleEast_24 Ex Dr.

Dr. Rahmeh Aladwan was arrested again in the UK by the Metropolitan Police for posting online supporting a terrorist organisation Dr. Rahma wrote tweets supporting Hamas and the October 7th massacre. British police arrested her and granted her conditional release on the condition that she not write any more tweets. However, due to her violation of the law, she was arrested again.

@antisemitism Retards.

“I think they’ve been misled.” This is what obsessive hatred of the world’s only Jewish state looks like. The Islamic Republic has killed, kidnapped and tortured tens of thousands of its own people. And still, some choose to speak over Iranians mourning their dead, twisting reality to blame Israel instead.

@AnneEstellaRock @JackHua46704097 It's not going to happen. Huge numbers have mixed race relatives and most other people have friends of a different race. There won't be support for deporting cousins and friends.

@JackHua46704097 They really haven’t thought it through... For example, would our royal family have to leave due to having mixed European ancestry?? Would they be considered “English enough”? And what about people with an ancestor from another ethnicity or skin colour, or mixed race children??

The political Right is literally falling out with itself over who does and doesn’t support British Jews. The Jew-hating English Ethno nationalists are turning on civic nationalists and there will come a time when there is a clear and unresolvable split among the two groups.

@RajaGili @WarMonitor3 I dunno, they may do something else entirely to enable anti regime elementsto get moving... or maybe its just a ruse to create FUD for Iran What is the point of taking an island?

Theyll likely take an island- maybe the whole island. An actual moat. There wont be frontlines. I’d guess Qeshm but that may be too large and ambitious, but that may be the one they end up with. Maybe something smaller, more defensible, similar location. Freshwater and airport possible. If they want a permanent base, airfield, its Qeshm but not sure what to do with the 150k citizens and it’s likely a longer and bigger commitment than what they are looking for.

When this American troops go in the whole calculation of this war changes…truly.

@AnneEstellaRock The Ethno Nationalists are loud online but I haven't met one in decades. They are entryists more than anything.

@RajaGili @WarMonitor3 True but they will likely be defending against fiber optic fpv drones. You ready to see footage of US troops being chased around like Russians in Ukraine?

@WarMonitor3 American troops going in does not mean what it used to. Likely selective targets for very minimal amount of time, or highly defensible positions. This will not be an occupation or a clearing operation.

@NickRicci5 @WarMonitor3 Have you seen footage of Russian soldiers being chased around by fiber optic FPV drones in Ukraine? Cannot be jammed and have a range over 10km. Would be way worse than IED in Afghanistan.

@WarMonitor3 American troops will kick Iranian troops butts! There will be no place to hide anymore

@brianoflondon @SweeneySteve @TadhgHickey I have seen one wreck photo but the photo was 10 years old. Seen some drone footage of merkava being hit by drones but none of the aftermath... Soviet relics in Ukraine take multiple strikes and they'll are not as well armoured nor do they have Trophy. Guessing none destroyed

@SweeneySteve @TadhgHickey Have you got pictures of all these tanks?

“The miracle of the south” Hezb0llah launches a record 87 operations as Taybeh turns into a “graveyard for the Merkava” with 21 tanks targeted by the Lebanese resistance fighters in a 24 hour period - I$rael’s heaviest tank losses in over 40 years Reporting from Tyre with @AliRida_SB

@LollywoodTorque @Lowkey0nline Yeah but you only wash up to the elbows and you don't have to wash your feet if you wear the magic leather socks. What stops you stinking is taking a shower the same as non muslims do.

@Lowkey0nline Non muslims should never accuse muslims of being smelly. We clean ourselves regularly for daily prayers plus we wash our backside after taking a shit. But we know who the real smelly ones are Tom Swarbrick.. 😷

Why is LBC presenter Tom Swarbrick endorsing a comment that Muslims are “smelly”?

@Esiotroggoth @AaronBastani The US has wargamed this for at least 20 years and Iran have been preparing for decades too. For USA it comes down to percieved risk vs benefits. Many seem to assume they never expected bases to be hit, but it is more likely they just accepted that as one of the risks.

@jezholgee @AaronBastani Im not sure what you mean. Who gamed this for years? The US? Iran? If you mean US, why didnt they think about Iran taking out neighboring bases that they could launch operations from?

“Many of the 13 military bases in the region used by American troops are all but uninhabitable…” A pretty extraordinary admission in the NYT. You know it’s bad when they’re being that candid. A ground invasion certainly makes a lot more sense after reading that.

@Esiotroggoth @AaronBastani They will have been gaming this for years and understood the risks. Only cards IGRC had were drones, rockets and the strait, what they have done is not rocket science and comes with its own risks.

@AaronBastani I find it hard to believe that the IRGC has been able to take such crucial strategic defence measures. Surely the US was prepared for this. Surely

@AaronBastani A ground invasion would be lunacy. Cannot see it happening.
