'We Pay For Your Hats' is a classic protest anthem. Moderately belligerent but essentially non-violent, like 'We Shall Overcome'. Love the sight of charming, witty revolutionaries.

@BenKentish
This 'most of us aren't affected' thing ignores the fact that 'most of us' have a mother, a girlfriend, a wife, a sister, an aunt, a daughter or a female friend. 'Most of us aren't affected'? All of us are affected.
Dolly was always her wittiest critic. ‘It costs a fortune to look this cheap.’ ‘I don’t know how long it takes to do my hair – I’m never there.’ To Des O’Connor, on his TV show, when he admired the smallness of her feet. ‘Nothing grows in the shade, Des.’

Men love the idea that a woman is defined by the whereabouts of the penis. ‘I’ll make a woman of you’, he says, putting his penis into a woman. Or, ‘I’ll make a woman of myself,’ putting his penis into an incinerator. Both times, relocating the penis makes a woman. Strange!

A rapper paraded Boris’s severed head during a recent BBC broadcast. Any condemnation of that incitement to murder from the MPs denouncing Boris for saying ‘surrender’ and ‘humbug’?

The average male body contains 36 bn male cells every one of which will produce nothing but male cells until the man dies. No male cell can decide on a whim to become female. I gave up biology at 13 (1977) & even I know this. How can medics deny it?

Bear in mind they all faced execution if Germany had invaded. The Queen Mum expressed it as follows: ‘The Princesses won’t leave without me. I won’t leave without the King. And the King will never leave.’
@SuzanneEvans1
Males vs males in rugby is dangerous enough (having been hospitalised myself playing inside-centre). Serious injuries – sometimes irreversible – are commonplace. But males vs females? Insane. If I had a daughter I’d sooner she took up base-jumping.

The clip shows her speaking with a very posh voice under duress - when poeple's true accents come out. I'm happy with posh English accents, I've been impersonating one all my life, but she sounds like Princess Margaret.

@metpoliceuk
Shift-workers on that street (incl NHS staff) who do the midnight to 8 am beat are being woken in ‘the middle of the night’. These protestors clearly haven't endured a war . So they need battles & scars to prove their value to themselves. Hence they fight anyone

Newsnight. The BBC’s drop-in centre for bereaved Remainers is still cult viewing among Brexiteers. Watch and marvel as Brexit is discussed by guests whose loathing of Brexit is surpassed only by the presenter’s.

Trouble at Airbus due to the A380 super double-decker behemoth of the skies. It's a lovely bird but they haven't taken an order in years. Jaguar/Landrover vulnerable to falling orders in China where they build a copycat Landy for 0.3 of the price. Business bad? Blame Brexit

I am an experienced barman, 57, and I recently tested negative for COVID. I don’t think I’m at risk. I also volunteered for vaccine trials (& heard nothing). If anyone wants to employ me in a pub in London p/t let me know.

I'm 60 & I'll happily challenge Mr Halba to a 200m sprint with lots of other 60 + chaps which Mr Halba will (probably) win. He can mount the podium and accept a winner's gold medal from my school-age son (from whose contests Mr Halba, and I, are also excluded)

On Monday the madness was so bad that people were saying 'it's the worst thing since Suez.' Now it's got so insane and chaotic that no one can think of a historical moment to compare it with. ... Tory Party RIP.
@BrexitHome
Tosh. If you like eating dead sheep & chickens etc you can just buy the meat from a local farmer who'll save himself the cost of carting it over to the EU. The nation most at risk of ND is France, the world's 2nd largest food exporter, whose biggest market is the UK.
@DAaronovitch
'Has almost no importance whatsoever' will be clear only when we know the full story. Odd details like Holly's sudden hostility & the brother's conviction look like clues to a larger mystery. Hence the 'level of coverage'. Not weird. Normal.

Masks work. They didn’t. The vax works. It didn’t. Vax 2 works. It didn’t. And the creators of that hat-trick of failures claim they’ve discovered a miracle booster that will work. They may not be scientists but we are. The results are in. Thanks, boffins. Message received.

If he felt there was the tiniest danger that he might pass a deadly disease to a fellow train-user he'd have stayed at home. No on believes in COVID. Certainly not this first class traveller.

By ‘one becomes a woman’ she refers to a lifetime of oppression. In Utopia one is born a woman and stays a woman. In this corrupt vale of tears one is born a woman and gets exploited, vilified, abused etc. So this ‘becoming a woman’ means ‘becoming’ a subjugated citizen.

I know a chap who watched women's football in the park just to laugh at it. I thought that attitude was terrible. Till I tried it myself. It was hilarious. The girls were incredibly nice to each other. One got hit in the face by the ball and ALL of them went 'OOh No! Poor you.'

I haven't yet seen this show & am wondering if they mentioned that Sutcliffe was interviewed 9 x by cops before being arrested + that his likeness to the nationally distributed photofit earned him a nickname at his lorry depot: 'Yorkshire Ripper'. That was his nickname!

You were lucky. When Keats went to Rome in 1821 he died of tuberculosis. Britain wasn’t a member of the EU then either. I believe certain facts speak for themselves....

Great guy. Always began Budget day with a big cake in No 11 for the cameras. He was quite fat then and he sat alongside his second wife and cut a huge piece of the cake. Which he ate himself. He had zero interest in becoming PM (an excellent quality in a CoE) Sound on climate too

To us in the UK this is fascinating, possibly seismic. Is this just ordinary traffic or are they on the way to a rally? Thanks and best wishes.

My grandmother had one in 1947. Terrible. I don't think there was anything much wrong with her. My dad said, 'before the operation she was a formidable woman.' Over-reverence for scientists is v dangerous, as true scientists recognise.

@OwenJones84
She's setting 'ladylike' as a standard to which a transwoman should aspire. That's not transphobic, it's trans-affirmative. Owen seems to be arguing that saying anything to a transwoman is transphobic.
@MForstater
Keep going Maya! Many chaps are behind you but we don't make a thing of it because chaps muscling in on women's campaigns is kind of the point you're rightly objecting to. Is that Inner Temple, btw? I thought they were expanding the roof to fit in more lawyers.
@HMD_UK
Wonderful man. My landlord for 4 yrs in Dalston, mid1990s. Immensely kind & thoughtful, always asking about my wellbeing. Very bright charming son too. Had an inkling he was a Holocaust survivor but didn’t like to ask. Greetings Mr Goldberg.
@Lugey6
Barmy. What’s a coronation chicken sandwich? Why expect to be served such things by hirelings who also, presumably, 'clean our offices at night'? Assumption is that everyone has an office maintained nightly by cheap staff. I’ve got an office, at home, which I clean myself.
@Lugey6
Odd that we loved Elton and 'got' that he was married in the 1970s and we fought the good fight against homophobia and we all won that battle and we're now shameful imperialists because we seek to trade with the (not EU) 93 pc of the world rather than the dying (EU) 6 pc. Hm.
@JuliaHB1
Loving the ‘Nat Unity Gov’ stuff. The ‘unity’ idea is somewhat marred by Caroline Lucas’s women-only cabinet. And who will lead the ‘unity’ gov? Caroline Lucas! Whose parliamentary party consists of Caroline Lucas. Andrew Lloyd Webber should write a musical about her.

@Jebadoo2
'Need to do a murder' is incitement. Call the cops and start a private lawsuit to enforce whatever penalties, criminal, civil & financial, are available to you. Let your opponents know legal action is imminent. Their knowledge will make you feel better - v important.
COVID crisis? I visited the Royal London on my daily walk. No panic. 9 parked ambos, idling or with engines off & crew texting or eating. One ambo, doors open: 3 crew, no patient. Doctor exited the hosp and all 4 chatted. I came back 5 mins l8r. All still chatting. V relaxed mood
@lewis_goodall
True. Plus he qualified it and said 'if we have a deal we have a deal', suggesting that if the deal fails in HoC the extension is back on. Also it's after lunch & he probably won't remember this doorstep anyway.
@TelBabe
Good thing too. Explains why Khan wants a criminal offence created to enforce mask-wearing on the tube. If the bug were truly deadly no one wd risk a tube-ride, masked or not. Fact is, no one believes in the Vague Plague which is just an excuse for small fools to become big ones.
@Anshul__K
Masks outdoors a certainty, so easy to id defaulters and hit them with a fine. Does no one realise, our freedoms are gone forever because we surrendered them without a fight?
@jaycee1001
Weather's the same as when I was small in the 1960s. People of 80+ agree. Sea level at beaches I went to in 1970 are identical now. Big change is we liked nature then & used it to help us. Now we fear it & think it punishes sin. Climate hasn't changed. We have. All gone medieval!
@sandieshoes
As soon as the opposition started to insist that Boris must resign if he's fined, they saved him. No cop is going to make a decision that will unseat an elected prime minister.
@jaycee1001
Gas & oil. No sun at night. Wind blows less in winter, (fewer temp differences.) So as we increase our reliance on renewables we need more back up. Hence more 'bio mass' stations. 'Bio mass' being any plastic or wooden stuff that burns and can be rebranded as Green.
@MartinKnight_
For us a 'bundle' was a load of kids jumping on top of each other in a grassy bit of the playground. You shouted 'bundle!' and leapt on. Wasn't violent, just silly. I'm talking under 10s. Never heard 'bundle' for fights between older kids which could be nasty.
@alexrubner
Z Williams, in a debate on trans women in sport, says her opponents are 'wedded to the idea that all men are going to be better than all women at sport.' I agree with Z Williams who concedes that trans women are all men.

The EU should be the 6 who started it, Benelux, F, G and Italy, (maybe not Italy), a free-trade area without a parliament or courts. It needn't dissolve entirely but shd revert to what made it famous: a common market unplugged. 450m across Europe are thinking this.
@LeoKearse
Great video. Plus see all the UK PMs over the last 120 yrs with Scots heritage: Cameron, Brown, Blair, Douglas Home, Macmillan, Ramsay Macdonald, Bonnar Law and Campbell Bannerman. Scots have ruled Britain for decade after decade.

I wouldn't heckle him. He's got the mike. You haven't. And he'll use the heckles to generate material for future shows. Four empty seats bang in front of him will hurt him most, if that's what you want.
@_BarringtonII
Yes, in the UK we have very loud & large MPs who are not exactly 'love's young dream' and who take their frustrations out on the public with non-stop sanctimonious posturing. We pay them £84k a yr to lecture us. It's therapy for the chunkies. I wish they'd just slim & shush.

Rude England genuflected to Marxism in a country that suffered yrs of repression & whose uprising against tyranny was brutally crushed in 1956. Hungary led the border breakouts, spring 1989, that swept away the iron curtain. But England boss, Southgate, wants to ‘educate’ Hungary

@oflynnsocial
True. Renewables don't remove carbon they just disguise its use in the creation of solarpanels, steel/concrete twirlers that need replacing & superheavy EVs that shred tyres & roads (both being oil-based products). Daft nonsense designed to stoke taxes & enable control freakery
@SoniaPoulton
So a BBC producer is so enamoured of the monarchy that he or she is protecting it by withholding the inflammatory photograph. How noble! (Come off it.)
The only way to equalise wealth is for busy people to be less busy and for less busy people to be more busy. No law or financial tool can bring that about. So inequality it is. Yet inequality is itself an industry which provides work for discontented pessimistic chatterboxes.

I voted Leave in that election. By accident. I was 12. My mum had forgotten her glasses and I put the X in the wrong box. Which turned out to be the right box. I think I'm the only Brit of my age, 59, to vote Leave twice.

Fact-check. He's cheering a rise in the national minimum wage, which was opposed by many right-wing Tories who feared it might deter employers from hiring.
Reparations? There’s a queue. My ancestors were chased out by invaders from Saxony (Germany) & Angeln (Denmark). Earlier, my ancestors were ousted by Romans & trafficked to build monuments in Rome from which Italy still benefits. Waiting 1500/ 2000 yrs for this bill to be settled
@PhilipWatson_
Same will apply to internal travel. This time next year anyone outdoors not wearing a government-approved mask will be fined. Defaulters will be jailed. Unbelievable? The position we are now in would have been unbelievable last January. We'll get used to it. Watch!
@swanage123
If he were, it would have leaked. Once the opposition said he'd have to resign if he was fined, it was inevitable that he wouldn't be fined. No cop is going to unseat an elected PM.
@janekin24
Fightback needs voices to point out that the power to suspend liberty is given in exceptional circs to cops, courts & military for our protection. That power has now been seized by medics w/out our consent. And, worse, w/out any mechanism for its restoration. We need a leader!
