@SandyofSuffolk We still did this with our own, as do plenty of others, we just don't get to see the consequences of those, but I totally understand your point..

When I was young. Children were seen and not heard. Children were toilet trained by the age of 2 or 3. Children were put to bed at 6pm after the Magic Roundabout. Children were taught to read, write, tell the time and tie their shoelaces before starting school. Children ate what was given to them at mealtimes or they went without. Children were given the cane or slipper at school for repeated instances of misbehaviour. Children were given a clip round the ear by the local bobby for scrumping. Children had to ask for permission to leave the table. Children were taught to always say please and thank you. And thank you for having me. Children walked, often a couple of miles, through the snow to school, and the school always remained open. Children who pinched stuff from shops were apprehended by store detectives and the police came. Children who got into trouble at school got into even more trouble when they got home. Children weren't given choices, playrooms or anything other than a birthday party at home. Children wore hand me downs, not £100 trainers. Children got pocket money to buy sweets or a comic, not an allowance. Children couldn't wait to get a job to earn their own money, a part of which was given to mum for 'keep'. Then I was old. And these are now just a dim and distant memory for most of us. And unbelievable to many more. These things will soon be consigned to the annals of time and to the pages of history books. Online, of course. People will gasp. Oh the horrors they endured! But the degradation of society will continue. And people won't be able to understand why. But we'll know.

@Chris33066442 @nat_tko @easyJet Tbf I've had same with BA (budget service, normal pricing).

@nat_tko @easyJet To be expected with a budget airline.

Dear @easyJet on a recent holiday my flight was diverted. And most of the people on the flight stayed overnight. I along with another couple shared a cab to our final destination. I submitted a claim for half the cab and then heard from the other couple that /1

Love this

@catpurrsarenice @London_W4 I need to know more!!

@London_W4 In Wisconsin with our bloody Mary’s we get a tiny glass of beer called a shooter. 😀

I was in Fortnum and Mason’s yesterday, sipping my cup of tea in the restaurant, when the couple at the table next to me had their coffees brought to them. I couldn’t control my excitement and asked them if I could photograph their coffee. How perfect is this? A cup of coffee with a mini ice cream? I shall insist on a mini ice cream with every coffee I order whilst out from now on.

🚨🎙️ Roy Keane on Kai Havertz tackle on Burnley’s Lesley Ugochukwu “It’s the inconsistency that drives me mad. Week in, week out we see these challenges and nobody knows what a red card is anymore. Studs up, over the ball, from behind — that’s a leg-breaker. In my day that’s a straight red and you’re lucky if you don’t get a ban on top of it. But VAR has another look and says ‘nah, only a yellow’. What are they watching? The referee bottles it, VAR bottles it, and once again it’s Arsenal who get the benefit of the doubt. Shocking. The standard of officiating in this league is gone. Absolutely gone.”

@dittyefe Didn't it just feel REASSURING when he came out in that cap though? Weird!

🚨 Chelsea fans one word for Sanchez?

I was shocked at the thuggery I witnessed at the Tommy Robinson rally: -A man struck a young girl on the head with a baseball bat and then raped her with the bat. -Men nailed a girl's tongue to a block of wood while they raped her. -One man used a pump to expand a girl's anus, then subjected her to gang rape by 6 men. At one point 4 men were inside her at once. -Men burned their names into the skin of girls they raped. -Girls were burned with boiling water, beaten with dog chains and forced to drink urine. -One man got a 12 year old pregnant, then burned her house down, killing her, her unborn child, her disabled sister and her mother. -A girl who'd been raped by multiple men was stabbed to death and her body dumped in a canal. -A 15 year old girl who'd been gang raped was injected with heroin by a 50 year old man to kill her. Oh wait - that wasn't at the Tommy Robinson rally. Those were crimes committed by predominantly Pakistani Muslim gangs, with the acquiescence of the people calling today's protesters "far-right thugs".

Gutted. Left my sentimental jumper at Wembley - section 517 Row 8. It means a lot to me. Please reach out if you picked it up 🙏 @ChelseaVWR_ @CFCTicketsHQ @OK_Chelsea_1905

@Dialsquare10 Same at chelsea mate. Games gone.

Got a lovely threatening email from The Arsenal. If I don’t attend the next two games, I won’t get a ST next season. They’re saying I’ve missed two. I haven’t. How can a formerly classy club become so rotten and petty? They think we don’t know why they’re doing this.

21/ If you’re a serving officer, ex-job, or just a Briton who’s had enough: share this. Tag your MP. Tag the Home Secretary. Tag the Met Commissioner. Make them read what they have done. Make them read it in public. Because nothing changes until the cost of doing nothing is greater than the cost of acting. 🧵

@GMB Cracking frock!!! @kategarraway

@0Calamity 'Football casuals'?? Fxck off.

I WANT MY COUNTRY BACK!🇬🇧 A young woman made a confused report to the police that she was raped by a group of men on her way home from a club, and believes it happened between 2.00am-4.00am outside a church. The woman is unwell and is hospitalised, and no doubt a rape kit is administered to preserve any physical evidence. Meanwhile - quite rightly - the police put out a call for any witnesses or dashcam footage, which is standard operating procedure. Then the far right get involved. When no descriptions are released by the police, they start saying that it is because the perpetrators must be asylum seekers/Muslims/immigrants. A social media account invents a description of them wearing flip-flops - taken to mean sliders that a lot of young black guys wear. More and more wild conspiracies are circulated, including the police deliberately not releasing descriptions (rather than doing their job of taking forensic evidence at the claimed scene of crime and examining CCTV footage from every angle available to them from the night-club to the alleged scene of crime and beyond) Then a convicted kidnapper, former drug dealer and former "Raise the Flags" grifter - all the same person, btw - puts out a call to arms on social media, for people to attend a protest at 5.00pm one afternoon. The usual hotel-shouting suspects turn up from all over the South East. They riot. The police issue a statement saying they still don't have any evidence to confirm the crime was committed as claimed. They attack an HMO simply because it is an HMO, even though they have been told that there are no asylum residences in Epsom. Turns out it was housing vulnerable people. They identify what they believe must be an asylum hotel - first a Premier Inn. Nope. Then a Travelodge, where they demand entry to check who they have staying there and demand to see their "books". A few days later, the police make a further statement, and a woman with a microphone demands to know what the outcome of any medical checks on the woman complainant was. Read that paragraph again: a WOMAN with a MICROPHONE is asking the police to reveal MEDICAL EVIDENCE relating to a potential RAPE VICTIM to a crowd of braying flag-bedecked football casuals and racists. The far right grifters and their hard-of-thinking followers still maintain this is a police cover-up while simultaneously sharing evidence of where other asylum-seekers or migrants have been convicted, so obviously the police didn't cover up those crimes, Einstein. The leader of the Pink Ladies - newly defected to Reform UK - shares photos of some completely different migrants in another area of the country and claims they are the photos the police are hiding from us all, because the police don't want you to know about migrants who commit crimes, (even though she was, obviously, sharing yesterday the reports of the terrible rape that happened in Brighton where the police arrested and prosecuted three asylum-seekers.) And now we know the poor woman was, in fact, the victim of some form of head injury which left her presumably very confused and frightened and had mistakenly made a report to the police. And there are STILL Einsteins out there claiming it was a cover up. I WANT MY COUNTRY BACK FROM THESE DANGEROUS PEOPLE, AND THEIR PSYCHOTIC CHEER-LEADERS. I WANT MY COUNTRY BACK FROM THE HATEFUL GREMLINS THAT FILL MY TIMELINE WITH THEIR DELUDED CRAP DAY AFTER DAY! I WANT MY COUNTRY BACK FROM A GOVERNMENT THAT, INSTEAD OF CALLING OUT THIS APPALLING ESCALATION OF HATRED AND BIGOTRY, PLAYS ALONG WITH IT IN THE HOPE OF GAINING VOTES!

I miss you💙

This.

🚨🎙️ John Terry Liam Rosenior suspending Enzo Fernandez: “Listen… I’ve got no problem with players dreaming big, yeah? Everyone respects a big club. But you don’t wear that Chelsea badge, take the armband, and then start flirting in public like that. Not on my watch.” “Madrid reminds you of home? Good. London should be your home now. This club MADE you a £100 million player.” “You’re vice-captain, son. Vice-captain. That means when things are bad, you stand up—not start talking about how nice Madrid weather is.” “You think Didier Drogba was talking about Barcelona when we were losing? Did Frank Lampard start praising Milan mid-season? No. We fixed it. We fought.” “And let me tell you something—Real Madrid don’t come for players begging in interviews. They come for winners. Leaders.” “Right now? You’re talking like a tourist, not a captain.” “So forget Madrid. Forget interviews. Go dominate a midfield, drag Chelsea up the table, and THEN maybe you’ve earned the right to even be in that conversation.” “Until then… focus on the badge on your chest, not the one you wish you had.”

Mr Starmer, The world is watching. And for once, I’m not here to play nice or balance both sides. This is the one shot I get to say what millions already know in their bones. You are not Britain’s Prime Minister. You are a man who won an election and immediately began dismantling the very things the British people voted for in 2016. You are squatting in Downing Street while steering the country back into the arms of the institution it explicitly rejected. If you will not stand down, the British people will make you. Here is every claim you made today, stripped bare, no spin, no mercy: 1. “The Middle East conflict has now entered its second month.” Thank you for the calendar update. While you counted months, the IRGC a group formally designated as terrorists by the United States, Canada, and others, continued running its London operations from 16 Prince’s Gate, Knightsbridge. You did nothing. 2. “The UK is working at pace for de-escalation and peace.” Translation: we issued strongly worded statements. Results: zero. Your “pace” is the speed of a snail on tranquillisers. 3. “The war will affect the future of our country, energy and cost of living.” It already is. Your green ideology and EU realignment have left Britain with some of the highest energy prices in the developed world. Pensioners choose between heating and eating. That’s not “the war.” That’s policy. 4. “We are well-placed with a long-term plan to emerge stronger and more secure.” Record taxes. 7.5 million people on NHS waiting lists. Record small-boat crossings. Energy bills that could bankrupt households. If this is your definition of “stronger and more secure,” the English language just filed for divorce. 5. “I held meetings with business leaders…” Photo opportunities. They warned you. You smiled for the cameras and carried on regardless. 6. “Energy bills will be cut today and fixed until July.” A £117 cap that your own NI increases and green levies have already vaporised. It’s not relief. It’s an insult dressed up as compassion. 7. “The most effective way to support the cost of living is to push for reopening the Strait of Hormuz.” Then why did you help shut down North Sea production and make us dependent on foreign energy? The hypocrisy is so thick you could spread it on toast. 8. “The UK is taking back control of our energy security by investing in clean British energy.” Britain now pays the highest industrial electricity prices in Europe. Blackouts are on the menu. This is not “taking back control.” This is self-sabotage with better PR. 9. “Because the world is volatile, Britain’s long-term national interest now requires closer partnership with the EU.” Let’s be honest for once: you are using a foreign crisis as cover to hand sovereignty, money, and decision-making back to Brussels without asking the British people. That is not statesmanship. That is betrayal by stealth. 10. “I will announce a new summit with the EU later this year…” Re-joining by the back door while an Iranian terror-linked operation sits in one of London’s most expensive postcodes. The sheer gall is almost impressive. You stood at the podium today and spoke of “British interests” while actively working against them. You swore you wouldn’t rejoin the EU. You are doing it anyway. You talk of security while leaving a designated terror network untouched in central London. You lecture about the cost of living while your policies make it worse. The mask is not slipping, Keir. It has fallen off and shattered on the floor. The British people see you clearly now: a politician who values international approval and Brussels goodwill more than the nation that elected him. You are not leading Britain. You are managing its managed decline. The clock is ticking. Not in secret. Not in silence. Out loud, in broad daylight, across every pub, every kitchen table, every X feed and every street in this country. History does not forgive those who sell their own people’s sovereignty for applause. Britain did not vote for this. Britain does not want this. And Britain will not tolerate this forever. The reckoning is coming. And it will not be kind. Britain First. No Surrender. 🦁🇬🇧

@dickinson_russ @siphillipssport I think that's spot on. They're pushing the cfc ldn badge to bypass the CPO requisite also.

@siphillipssport I think possibly they gambled that they could flog Stamford Bridge, make a financial killing, re locate to a cheaper site, I may be wrong 🤷

Former Chelsea pitch announcer Neil Barnett: “Nothing has happened at any football club like has happened at Chelsea, with the purchase by venture capitalists who have invested in a theory that doesn’t come from football. “Chelsea is a financial experiment by a hedge fund that has to make a profit by the end of it, and it’s very, very worrying."

@GregBaldwinIroh Spread toast with Marmite before topping with cheese and beans. Mmmm

British blokes…. I’ve purchased several “tins” of Heinz (British) beans because the idea of beans on toast intrigues me. I eagerly anticipate a tasting. Other than toasting bread and heating beans… Are there any other steps/ingredients?
