@HeadWarriorTWM This is the third female MEP I have seen tell von der Leyen what her country's citizens think of her policies. The tide is turning. A little late, but will this be the catalyst for a healing for Europe?.

@StarkNakedBrief Great thread. It's exactly the problem - the mandated changes to our food supply over which we have no say, and, like the previous 'safe and effective' mantras we have heard both recently and over the years (eg MRNA vaccines, thalidomide) there are often disastrous effects which.

@terrychristian It's not rocket science, Terry. Farmers don't have 20% of the value of their business in the bank, nor can they earn that much over '10 years'. In three generations, all that land will be in the hands of people who don't have your best interests at heart and it will no longer.

@juneslater17 Hand luggage!🤭.Well, for him it beats risking the channel in a dinghy. I don't know what is wrong with people these days. I hope I'm wrong and it's true love, but the chances are there'll be tears as soon as the passport has been issued.

King Oak is a tangled tale of love, betrayal and broken promises. Set in 1780 in Surrey, England, it follows the fortunes, and perhaps misfortunes, of a family living at the edge of a vast forest called The Common. What happened at the King Oak has repercussions over decades

@sophiearumble Michelham Priory, East Sussex. 800 years of history. Created, and almost destroyed, and then preserved by our forefathers and today, our peers. A reminder that there is beauty and creativity and care in much of humanity. There is much to celebrate.

@naomirwolf Both. It's an indoctrination agenda. It was a slow creep but now they've pulled out all the stops. It's all around us, clear as day. Everything which grates against our sensibilities is now plugged as 'normal'. Fight against it, for the children. Because it's NOT normal.

@GaddersII Here in Switzerland they still do traditional ones with pictures of fairies, and toy trains, and a nativity scene on the 24th. I send one to my sister every year. She's 51. It's not Christmas without a proper Advent Calendar. The children know. 🥰.

@JuliaHB1 @stillgray Poppycock. Kiev was killing its own citizens before 2022. Even the UN was keeping a count of how many civilians had died and western news reports were saying how awful it was. The narrative changed completely when 'big bad Russia' stepped in after the treaties were broken.

@juneslater17 I think everyone has had enough of it. The problem is how to stop it. 'Elections' are selections. Politicians never keep their pre-selection promises, and certainly don't listen to anyone other than their selectors. Educational institutions indoctrinate pupils and students with.

A 90 year old man has just knocked on my door. He worked on this farm when he was a child over 80 years ago and wanted to see what it was like now. Very different, he said. He was so excited to be back here, reminiscing about scything the steep slopes - back-breaking, he said.

@geraldratner Why don't they just curb their spending? .Better management of the NHS, cessation of money to places like Ukraine (which would stop the war there within days), tough on illegal immigration, etc. It could all be done but they chose not to. The question is, why?.What's their long.

@DaveAtherton20 It's a problem in other countries too. An elderly tourist with NO health insurance on a coach trip through Switzerland, had a heart attack whilst here about 5 years ago. He was treated and spent 6 weeks in hospital at a cost of over 100k chf. Ok, so he didn't come especially to.

@ThiefPenitent @stillgray ER. Hamilton with all non-white actors, that is exactly wokeism. And it's cringe. If you have a fictional story, you can do with it what you will. But historical characters should be true to form. Imagine a white Nelson Mandela. Imagine the uproar.

@terrychristian It was scrapped to support the farming community. You can be sure Nigel Lawson would not have scrapped it if he didn't have to. He had good reason. It's not like you selling your parents' house to pay your share of IHT when you inherit their estate, is it? .It's chopping off bits

@DouglasCarswell @Arnie_Boyle They managed to oust Boris for having a piece of cake at a meeting. So, one can only surmise that Starmer and co are clearly still there because whoever is behind the scenes pulling the strings of Britain, wants them there. There is no democracy. It's all an illusion.

@benonwine Stay away from pharmaceuticals if at all possible, except the odd painkiller when you really need it. Drink fresh water, plenty of it. Not too much alcohol. Eat very little processed food, make things with fresh ingredients from scratch, but treat yourself occasionally. Do a.

@PKurzin @itsolelehmann Nah. It's the bureaucratic nightmare that is Brussels. The Swiss have decent salaries, work hard, enjoy 4-6 weeks holiday and are doing exceedingly well. And not under the control of the EU, at least where innovation is concerned. In the States, the paltry holiday allowance is.

@models_by_Russ Isn't there something in the rules which says that if a party runs an election campaign on promises and then does the exact opposite, then it's fraud? .Surely they can't be allowed to do that, but they have. Wouldn't the election then be null and void? .So rather than just.

@BeckettUnite Of course it's not acceptable to steal from the welfare state. But to say 'we need that money for the health service' when they give away billions in aid to foreign countries is a bit rich. .

@RupertLowe10 Tents on Salisbury Plain under military guard would do the trick. If a tent in Calais was good enough for months, human rights lawyers cannot surely argue it isn't good enough here while the gov assesses their 'refugee' claims. It would be a deterrent, save costs, and restore.

@RupertLowe10 It's very easy. No health insurance no travel. No booking a flight or a ferry, tunnel or train crossing. No visa without valid and substantial health insurance. So simple. Why hasn't it been done yet?.

@BritLad95 The UK certainly needs someone like Trump. The travesty is that there is no one to vote for nowadays. Nobody who is working FOR the people. Whatever you vote for, you end up getting more of the same. So, yes. Or @Nigel_Farage step right up?.
