@Dr_W_E_Bulmer @GrahamSmith_ US presidents don't do it, so why do our Royal family always feel the need to plunder the dress-up box? Why don't they at least modernise a little? Could it be because they like to keep everyone subordinate to them?

@GrahamSmith_ A head of state (hereditary or elected) holds the office of commander in chief of the armed forces. They don't need to have served: they automatically outrank everyone else. Think of it as a kind of anti-coup insurance, keeping the military subordinate to the civil authorities.

It’s so offensive. He didn’t serve in the marines, he wouldn’t have lasted two minutes in the marines. Yet he dresses up in uniforms and medals he hasn’t earned. Why? He doesn’t need to. The president of Ireland can visit their troops without the cosplay. #AbolishTheMonarchy

Sending pics every time he visits his constituency does not convey the message he thinks it does.

@UkandNireland Just look at Starmer...doing his job...doing his duty...rather than sowing hatred!

Tories, without any irony at all having the brass neck to lecture anyone about fiscal responsibility is one for the ages. For the layman, they torched your home, nicked and gave your valuables to their mates, ran off and are now shouting at the Fire Brigade for attempting to putting the fire out. And STILL nobody arrested for the grand theft of YOUR money by virtue of corrupt contracts given out.

@debbie_sorrell @Decay212 @StanCollymore Instead of your trite, and lazy, "Stick to football" comment, how about offering something more useful, Debbie? At least Stan is offering a legitimate opinion, and an explanation by analogy. You're just offering a shameful 'put down'.

@Decay212 @StanCollymore A handful of laughable abusive comments from Stan’s intellectually challenged left wing followers and 60 likes, not too bad imo.

@deelomas I'm 64, spending Diwali in Kashmir and out early tomorrow in the hope of seeing a black bear, and no, it's not a pub! Don't quit yet, Dee!

I hate it when people ask me if I’m doing anything exciting over the weekend. What? Like skydiving? I’m old. I’ll do a grocery shop, do a bit of laundry, eat too much food, probably try and take a nap… You?

I’ve actually witnessed people on here confidently stating that Jeremy Clarkson, a 64 year old man and ex smoker who smoked 40 cigarettes a day for 43 years, had to have heart surgery because he’s had the Covid vaccination. Never underestimate the stupidity on this website.

@Bodyfirst_PT @clairebubblepop No, the economics of taxing goods and services...that's all...a change by a democratically elected govt based on a manifesto commitment.

If you wanna send your kids to private schools, good for you. But I really don’t get how you can complain about fucking VAT when there’s kids out there who can’t even afford a school lunch. If you don’t get the disparity I’ll explain… state schools are crumbling, kids are starving and you’re complaining about VAT. How about ALL schools are a good standard and stop thinking you’re above everyone else. It’s this sort of arrogance and ignorance combined that’s ruining this country.

@itsstil65916887 @Lilith_Atheist Forgiveness of sins, we are all sinners after all and in need of Christ's forgiveness. x.com/SpinFictionX/s…

@hibasot @Lilith_Atheist Opps yes, I somehow managed to misspell that twice, yikes. Turing not Turning. Ask for forgiveness of his sins of course. We are all sinners, nearly constantly without letting the Holy Spirit take over. I ask for Christ's forgiveness every day if I remember to.

Can anyone explain to me why so many Labour politicians were so keen to see Taylor Swift? Surely I can’t be the only person who can think of a better thing to do with an evening?

Judges seem equipped to control what people can and cannot say or do in courts. Why is the system allowing this assault on the victims? Is it beyond the wit of humanity - and the legal system - to make myth-based cross-examination a contempt of court? theguardian.com/society/2024/o…

@redditchrachel Nobody is denying you the right to make that choice: it's a simple taxation decision, that's all, but with the underlying principle of allowing every child more choice and more opportunity.

I am not ashamed of sending all of my four children to private schools at some point in their schooling. Something me and my husband worked extremely hard and sacrificed for. I wanted them to have a better education than I had and that is a natural thing that most parents want.

Our state schools need teachers more than private schools need embossed stationery. Our children need mental health support more than private schools need new pools. Our students need careers advice more than private schools need AstroTurf pitches. inews.co.uk/news/private-s…
