Today, Keir Starmer has banned Kanye West from entering the UK because his “extremist views pose a threat to the country.” But… Last week, Keir Starmer invited a LITERAL ISIS TERRORIST to 10 Downing Street.

@SorchaEastwood I have read your full thread. No fan of Trump but why can you and so many others not recognise that what went before was as equally destructive and evil ? Why do you still hold onto #Obama and #Clinton like some sort of demagogues? Our world is corrupt and long before #Trump

I nearly don't want to say his name as he thrives on attention, violence, infamy and bullying. Way before 2016 my friends (all non-political) said Trump would win the Presidency. I was like, wtf why would you think that? They said because he was the guy off the Apprentice. He hired & fired. They didn't personally like him, but they saw how others thought that he got stuff done 1/

Borrowed from Silent Warriors on Facebook. Today we remember Sergeant Michael Newman of the Royal Corps of Signals, who was tragically murdered on 14 April 1992. A dedicated soldier serving his country with professionalism and quiet resolve, Sergeant Newman lost his life in an act of terrorism carried out by members of the Irish National Liberation Army (INLA). He was shot as he walked from an Army careers office to his car in Derby, a place far removed from any battlefield, which makes the loss all the more sobering. His death stands as a stark reminder that service personnel have often faced danger not only on operations overseas, but also at home. Sergeant Newman’s role within the Royal Signals would have placed him at the heart of military communications, a vital function that ensures the effectiveness and safety of British forces. Those who serve in such positions rarely seek recognition, yet their contribution is essential to every mission. By all accounts, he carried out his duties with commitment and integrity, embodying the values expected of a British soldier. His murder was not only a personal tragedy for his family and friends, but also a loss felt across the wider military community, where such acts leave a lasting impact. As we reflect on his life and sacrifice, it is important to remember the human story behind the uniform — a man with a future, a family, and a sense of duty. Commemorating Sergeant Newman is not about revisiting division, but about acknowledging service, loss, and the enduring cost of conflict. Today, we pause to honour his memory with respect and dignity, ensuring that he is not forgotten.

I struggle to think of anything more tolerant or diverse than a crowd of concerned parents outside a school in Batley calling for a teacher to be killed. Simply doesn't get more British than that.

I think it's some of the stuff about beheading people they disagree with that puts impartial observers off

I’m 46 and grew up in the digital age, nothing shocks me. I saw Twin Towers fall, London buses explode, Ken Bigley and Lee Rigby get decapitated and massacres at concerts. The only thing that DOES shock me is that after all that, the PM still calls it “the religion of peace.”😂

Ireland’s communist president on St Patrick’s Day, using the occasion to push migration, not Christianity

Watching this will hurt your brain. The stupidity is so painful. Also, the way her voice ticks up at the end of every sentence!

19th March, 1988. Corporal Derek Wood aged 24, and Corporal David Howes, aged 23, both of the Royal Corps of Signals, were savagely beaten and murdered by a baying mob of IRA supporters attending a funeral in Belfast. Lest we Forget these brave young men murdered by cowardly IRA scum.

A lady from Bromley Job Centre left a message for a claimant, and accidentally the recording continues. Not being funny but she’s damn bloody RIGHT 👏🏼👍 My new HERO! ❤️👌

@JimGamble_INEQE @MatthewOToole2 @Planet_Belfast @SDLPlive Hardly something the @SDLPlive would be pleased to hear Jim. After all they consider themselves the sister party of @LabourPartyUK and have consistently moved to a position of @sinnfeinireland light, especially under the previous leader @columeastwood

@MatthewOToole2 @Planet_Belfast @SDLPlive A great politician, who when he was standing for the leadership role previously was open to local Labour Party members standing in NI. Exactly what is needed. Representation that is not tied to the border l, green or orange traditions but issues that matter day-to-day.

Enjoyed some craic and chowder with Andy Burnham in St Georges Market earlier.

Absolute shocking decision by the referee in @FranceRugby v @EnglandRugby After deliberate knock on by the French he 9layed a ridiculously short advantage when England not in a scoring position and France score in the sequence of the same play. JUST GIVE THE PENALTY !!

Christian Premier League footballer Cody Gakpo got publically reprimanded by the @fa @premierleague for revealing a vest written ‘I Belong To Jesus’ after scoring a goal, for breaking their rules on religious expression. Yet billboards are displaying messaging about the Islamic faith and games are being stopped for fasting breaks. This is not equality!

@BBCMarkSimpson @sylvesterhakin @little_pengelly @endamcclafferty Those who have chosen to have an Irish passport must realise that they are not the responsibility of the British Government. It was their choice!!

I see Nicola Sturgeon is once again complaining that I posted a picture of myself wearing a T-shirt with her name on it and the legend 'Destroyer of Women's Rights.' Apparently this didn't 'elevate the debate.' Is there a clinical term for an individual who has extreme thinness of skin when it comes to their own perceived hurts, coupled with a rhino-hide when it comes to the fear and suffering of others? I'm thinking in particular of the two women Isla Bryson raped, who had to watch their First Minister squirm and smirk on TV as she tried to avoid admitting he was a man; of the five survivors of male violence who were ready to give evidence to Sturgeon's committee on gender self-ID, but were told to put their concerns in writing while seventeen trans-identified people appeared in person; of the mother of a young girl with a learning disability who campaigned against self-ID because she wanted her daughter to be guaranteed same sex intimate care, should she need it (the mother was presumably one of those female opponents Sturgeon calls 'shrill' and 'hysterical' in her memoir); of the ten-year-old girl sexually assaulted in a public bathroom by a 6'5" paedophile who served his jail sentence in a women's prison because he called himself 'Katie'; of Sandie Peggie, forced to discuss her own menstrual history in public to justify not wanting to undress in view of a 6ft straight cross-dresser in the nurses' changing room; of Marion Millar, dragged into court because she tweeted a picture of suffragette ribbons; of the Scottish rape crisis centres reliant on government funding who were pressured to admit trans-identified males into their services if they wanted funding to continue. When Sturgeon refers to an 'elevated debate', she means a discussion that takes place within a tiny, smug bubble from which regular women suffering real life consequences of her policies are firmly excluded. These faceless ants are loftily dismissed as bigots, or, to be more precise: 'transphobic, misogynistic, homophobic, maybe racist as well.' Nicola, you hated the T-shirt picture because you couldn't ignore it, as you'd ignored so many other women trying to make you understand their concerns. Appeals to your empathy, your intelligence and your compassion all failed. Apparently the only way to get through to you is through your vanity.

Yes.

Anyone rem this man's story, Thomas Niedermayer, manager of Grundig factory,kidnapped by the IRA and subsequently murdered by them,his body was not found until 7 years later. Sadly his wife and children all committed suicide. Never forget their deeds.
