@afneil It's that upper class posh English accent that gives it away.

Oh yes. I am well known for my enthusiasm for aristocratic toffs.
Matty Smithy♿️🇬🇧🇪🇺@Matt247821
@afneil So you would want a aristocratic toff who would give free money to the billionaires whilst millions of working class and vulnerable people struggle to keep the lights on with hyperinflated energy bills? I would have thought you lot learnt Austerity kills by now.

With what?
Michael Morgan@Michael39771039
@afneil Andrew you wrong.Steve is right .what matters is if the UK has the capability to intercept missiles. It doesn't matter who has long range missiles .Israel ,US ,Turkey , Zimbabwe has long range missiles.if any of them send them to UK we will intercept them

@AlbertoBaIsam @We_OwnIt @juliewassmer So it's an argument that is unfalsifiable. Some of us remember what nationalised utilities were like, and what public sector bodies are still like.
English
@RetroRobson @We_OwnIt @juliewassmer its not complex at all. the nationalised ones suffer from deliberate under investment, because the Government knows that if those are seen to be doing well, the argument for keeping the others privatised would be (even more) indefensible.
English
If the water companies can't survive without dumping sewage in our rivers and seas, LET THEM GO BANKRUPT.
Then nationalise them for nothing.
Thank you, Boycott Water Bills and @juliewassmer for inviting us.

@benjyminty @EricEatsPickles So it's not acceptable to post about something that may annoy you if you're coping with it ?

@RetroRobson @EricEatsPickles So why post about them if you are coping?

Guilt tripping drivers is the most craven & least effective road safety strategy. Mandate automated speed limiting tech in every vehicle now.
No one needs to speed except emergency services.

@PeterStefanovi2 @SteveReedMP A stable economy?!🤦♂️
Labour lies are just beyond belief. Do they really think that they can gaslight or ignore the public at large in the same way that Starmer does at PMQs to MPs?
English
BREAKING: “The fact that we have a much more stable economy now than the chaos we had with the Tories means we are in a better position to whether those storms when they come”

@PeterStefanovi2 @SteveReedMP Seriously ? The endless "coming back for more tax" ?

@PaulEmbery @willchamberlain Dog is completely mad and getting ever sharper teeth, let's not do anything about it, give dog a file to sharpen their teeth and pretend we've achieved something.

@willchamberlain Man kicks dog. Dog bites man. Man says, "See, I told you this dog was aggressive."

Please tell me more about how Iran wasn’t an imminent threat.
Should we have waited until their ballistics could reach Bermuda?
OSINTtechnical@Osinttechnical
Iran fired a pair of intermediate-range ballistic missiles at Diego Garcia, a joint U.S.-UK base in the Indian Ocean. One missile failed in flight, and another was engaged by a US Navy destroyer using an SM-3 missile.
English
@RetroRobson @EricEatsPickles But you are the one that cannot cope with them, admitting that you cannot drive competently.

@BareLeft Whilst I agree, I doubt these rules would be applied evenly.
English
Publishing disinformation like this should be punishable.
Besides cooking the books by only mentioning income tax yield, about half of that £333bn figure are pensions with the second biggest bloc being in-work benefits.
Is it any wonder this country is going mental?
Matthew Elliott@matthew_elliott
The Government will collect £331bn in income tax this year, and spend £333bn on welfare. In other words, we now spend more on people not working than we raise from those who do. And the cost? Debt per person has risen from £11.5k in 2000 (inflation adjusted) to over £41k today.

@jonsopel Which you could say about Herman Goering of course.

Vile. He was a lifelong public servant asked to do a job

Trump in Truth post: "Robert Mueller just died. Good, I’m glad he’s dead. He can no longer hurt innocent people! President DONALD J. TRUMP"

@DavidTaylor85 Pointless showing off. The devices can be bought online for a couple of hundred quid (these look older ones). Total cost of this "aid" compared to the cost of the trip is ....

This is such vital humanitarian work that 3 days really is too short. Cuba needs him.
Richard Burgon MP@RichardBurgon
I’m on my way to Cuba for an emergency 3-day visit. I’ll be delivering medical aid to a children’s cancer hospital and joining an international delegation of MPs opposed to Trump’s new ban on any fuel entering the country. This cruel policy is putting lives at risk. It is an inhumane attempt to strangle the Cuban people. And Trump is even threatening that Cuba could be “next” after Iran. We must take a stand.
English
@PaulEmbery @Shayna620 It's not just a political opponent. There are very few people whose death I would celebrate I know personally. Maybe 3 or 4 people. But they are there.
English
@Shayna620 "Refreshing"? A US president publicly jubilating at the death of a political opponent and saying "I'm glad he is dead." I wonder if you people ever stop to think about what it is you are defending.
English
This was Trump's immediate response today after learning that a former director of the FBI had died. It seems there is no depth to which this depraved man will not sink.
English
@PaulEmbery Given he tried to destroy Trump with left wing fairy tales that yielded bugger all, I'm surprised he's this generous.
English
@daniellismore It's like all those people who were giving homes to illegal migrants ; nice virtue signalling, not happening in practice.

I would rather live next-door to a refugee than a reform voter. To be honest. 🇬🇧🪆☕️🪆🫖🏴

@RichardBurgon @jeremycorbyn Not showing pictures of your bought online stuff then - that likely cost less than your flight to Cuba ?
English
With my friend @jeremycorbyn, I've just delivered key medical aid to Cuba.
This is part of the Nuestra America Convoy that’s bringing in huge amounts of aid as Trump tightens the cruel and illegal blockade of Cuba.

@TheNewsAgents @arusbridger You could ask Rubbisher who the "journalists" are and what they watched.
English
@TheNewsAgents @arusbridger @TheNewsAgents are supposedly neutral former BBC "Journalists" who now are left wing ranters.
One recalls Maitlis' "Cummings" rant as her inability to differentiate opinion and fact.
English
A new investigation claims GB News is failing to meet Ofcom standards – but nothing is being done.
GB News says it's fair and impartial, but journalist @arusbridger says only someone paid to work for the channel could claim that with 'a straight face'

@AlbertoBaIsam @We_OwnIt @juliewassmer The nationalised ones (Wales and Scotland) have the same problems, so it's more complex than that. But I do agree it should not have been privatised, it is not competitive. I have a choice of Anglian Water or Anglian Water.
English
@RetroRobson @We_OwnIt @juliewassmer debt, underinvestment and increased costs for consumers has been the story pretty much right across the board. by any reasonable judgement, privatisation has been a disaster,
English
@laurasportals @pvicvah @sappholives83 They probably do overall as an average, yes, almost certainly.
However, this tells us nothing about individuals. People have a relationship with *one person* not an "average woman".
Some have a "body count" of 1, (or 0).
Some in the hundreds.
Irrespective of gender.
English
@RetroRobson @pvicvah @sappholives83 i’m not sure why this discourse is even a thing when it’s a proven fact that men have much higher body counts than women
English
It is a truth universally acknowledged that any man who is this fixated on a woman’s sexual history will be a possessive, controlling, abusive asshole. Men like this don’t want a partner. They want a blank slate.

@DavidHe91696725 @worstall The assets were sold to the investors. You can redefine stealing as much as you like, it's still stealing.
English
@RetroRobson @worstall The assets were paid for by the taxpayer and go back to the taxpayer. Investors were hoping for solvent companies, which they are not
English
"If we stiff all the investors then we can have it for free!"
Wholly true, but if you stiff the investors then the other name for that is theft. Which is, you know, against the law? Even, against international law.

The government claims that nationalising water would cost >£100 billion. That figure has been repeatedly dubunked - by Professor Dieter Helm, & Professor Ewan McGaughey at the People's Commission for Water, among others. Water belongs in public hands. vist.ly/4vetf
