@GBNEWS @markwhiteTV Y'arrr, the sea - she be a cruel mistress.

🚨 BREAKING Home and Security Editor @MarkWhiteTV reports that at least two Channel migrants have died after their small boat sunk off the coast of France.

In fairness, a fully-clothed 17-year-old sharing a consensual kiss (on the lips) with a lad of a similar age is hardly one of those themes which one would expect to excite the classic pervert.

@BovrilG The fact that they were able to learn so much from its owner suggests that the establishment cannot have been overrun with customers.

are you ok babe you barely touched your based fish and chips

@jollyheretic A 300 megaton truth nuke. However, if we are to go back a little further still, the Tories should never have been forgiven for sacrificing Powell in the manner that they did.

British people have spent 29 years destroying Britain. If you ever voted New Labour, or voted Conservative after 2010, then you are to blame. Britain deserves Big Ange as Chav Minister. Big Ange is the Yookay.

English man.

@Epsilon_Indi_c We're not small-governmenting our way out of this one!

@pan_trogs Deporting several million people will also require the state to get more than just a little bit fashy.

It will require more than the mere election of 330+ MPs in order to solve these issues. For headway to be made, the entire establishment is going to have to desire change.

If course, it is the act of having to buy the cap which remains the real sore point.

@Steve_Laws_ His central point appears to be that Islam creates issues independent of criminality - irrespective of how heinous such acts may be. In this regard, he's not wrong. There are many, many reasons to oppose its presence here.

@AlekYerbury An all-purpose "protest party", for those who haven't really anything to protest about.

I've just watched a television advert from the Liberal Democrats. They are often characterised as a left wing party but really what they are is a relic of the times of Empire. The Party that time forgot. It's the kind of party that privileged people support when they don't really have any serious problems in life and they are oblivious or uninterested in any problems that don't personally affect them.

@PeterMcCormack If labour costs are the issue, then why not move your coffee shop to Vietnam or Bangladesh?

A minimum wage of £15 would end my coffee shop, it would have to close, as would many other businesses. I’ll explain for the economically illiterate. Staff costs are currently half our costs, a £15 minimum wage is actually more than £15 an hour for the company, because you have to add: - 12.07% holiday - Sick pay - Maternity pay if and when required - National insurance - Pension contributions These costs would mean the shop loses money because remember, energy costs are up, rates are up, regulations are up. Now you can pass these costs onto the consumer - that would mean charging a lot more for coffee, people won’t pay it. The likes of Starbucks and Costa can, because they have economies of scale. The independent doesn’t. Now the little socialist will say well this is your fault, if you can’t run a business that can afford to pay its staff properly, but the little socialist has never run a business and does not understand the dynamics. Now I could pay some staff off and fill those hours myself or reduce us to one staff member during certain periods - but this proves the point that a minimum wage costs jobs. There was a time when these jobs were done by kids, perhaps on the weekend, paid a lower wage, no holiday and no silly employment rights. Perhaps they were even paid cash. The dynamic worked and small businesses like this could operate. It was also a great first job. Sadly now it isn’t worth employing entitlement youngsters at this level of pay. So alas, I don’t need the stress, the business would close, a number of jobs would be lost. Economics is about understanding these dynamics, no vibes. The cost of living is not solved through passing on inflation to the business, it is solved by ending high inflation and creating prosperity. This is what socialists don’t understand, they can’t create prosperity, they can only destroy it.

@sophiemeaden I prefer them when they're simply using it to harp on about confectionery which no longer exists. "ANYBODY REMEMBER AZTEC BARS?"

What the fuck is going on over on BoomerBook?

An absolute banger.

@poxesfoxes I once stayed in Tirrenia. When heading towards Pisa, we were surprised to see military helicopters zipping about over the fields ahead. "Those are the Americans", we were told. Everybody was mystified.

Oh no. Please don’t. 🙄

@Epsilon_Indi_c Is that a hybrid USA-Israeli-Pahlavi flag? Strewth.

The dire situation we're in and this pratt is worrying about "Persians."

@RealBlackIrish > 1965 Christ. The Beatles were already on their sixth album by the end of that year.

Hmmn, it’s a tricky one. Where might home be for ‘British Indians’?

I'd never trust a foreign gentleman with my barnet. Even then, "Turkish" hardly conjures up encouraging images - perhaps he might go at it with a scimitar, or one of those electric, doner-carving implements...

@Resident__Poet @chapofwessex I'm not so certain - it's difficult to imagine them walking past all of those free blackberries which might be picked up around August/September.

@chapofwessex Talk about an obscure thing to post about. As if any Scottish person has ever eaten fruit.

“AGIAN SARAH, THEY’RE AT IT AGAIN! LOOK.”

@BasilTheGreat I (as an English person) see no reason to object to the holding of second referendum. If the Scots do desire independence, then it is in neither of our interests to see them held in a union against their will.
