@Swimmingsolo1 @andrewfeinstein If the existing population don’t want something it doesn’t actually matter whether their reasons are moral or immoral. It’s about their autonomy and right to self-govern. But it’s culture not colour.

And of course the ex SIS source in question is… Chris Steele! A point never addressed is why Russia, which so doesn’t want a federated Euro superstate with a single army as a neighbour, would want to manipulate the nation constantly frustrating such plans to exit the EU.

@Dominic2306 Worth remembering that one of Labour’s first decisions was to an abandon the appeal against the false acquittal of a jury tamperer because she had the correct green values. We all know what would have happened to an adherent to Tommy Robinson who’d done exactly the same thing.

Fake news. No CLC girl would fly an upside down Union Flag.

Impressed that ⁦@MarlboroughA⁩ is selling this set of unframed Frink lithographs for £800 (they were previously asking for £1200). They are actually just cut from the Folio Society’s 1974 edition of the Odyssey, which you can buy on eBay for less than £50 😂

“By peacefully occupying Belgium” the Kaiser explained, “we shall prevent it becoming a hub for espionage, and eliminate any risk of a world war.”

Badenoch is hopeless but Starmer is too. Ignore the nasal voice & pedantic prefect demeanour. His closing line about a past AG being a national security threat wd set up a perfect zinger about today’s AG being a pal of terrorists, corrupt lawyers (Shiner) & demented Mauritians.

@EnglandAdmirer @LukeDyks @db_fink It’s also the point @Dominic2306 makes about successful right-inclined people preferring “walled gardens and fish ponds” to exposing themselves to public life. (I have such a garden and a fish pond funnily enough!)

Students of the radical barristocracy will note the highly suspicious surname.

@yuanyi_z Very useful come the revolution, with lampposts in mind.

Same with the Isle of Wight. Chinese spy hubs everywhere. You can’t move for them. We’d better give it to Mauritius too (along with a trillion quid to cover their travel expenses). They’d sort the Chinese out in no time!

I actually have had a couple of City breaks in Birmingham as it has some outstanding restaurants and (at least until mugged by lawyers) a great museum and gallery.

Reposted not out of prurience, but as a memorial to the wonderful day I drove an American relative around Stratford-upon-Avon, having a more and more surreal conversation because he supposed the signs for Anne Hathaway’s cottage were for the UK residence of 👇

@si_rubinstein She watched an excellent documentary the other day about a teacher called Chips. His methods must be eliminated! She would say Chips delendus est, but unfortunately her Latin course got cancelled.

@BucketsOf_Rain I agree. As Cummings pointed out some time ago, people like the odious Portes are the extremists, not people who think we shouldn’t admit millions of new people to the country against the wishes of people already here.

@CapelLofft I so agree. Even when they give evidence in court now they turn up in overalls.
