@ripx4nutmeg There is just one question which requires an answer here. Who are the @FA officials who though that conducting an inquisitorial hearing of this was appropriate and that any kind of "offence" had been committed? Let them debate this in public, not with a child. Their names?.

@KiszelyPhilip Lebanon was a peaceful and civilised Christian country. Then it was entered by militants and became the ruined basket case that we see today. The parallels are there for all to see.

@BearGrylls Your post was propaganda, not history. You claim to be a Christian. Try reading the bible, rather than plagiarising it. Mary and Joseph were not refugees in Bethlehem as you suggest. They belonged to the tribe of David and Bethlehem is the city of David. They were there to.

@TiceRichard He has damaged the Church of England almost beyond repair, in many, many ways. The parishes are closing for lacks of funds which he has taken from them to spend £bns on his pet projects.

@TracyAnnO @metpoliceuk The @metpoliceuk have allowed this to develop and to build by failing to limit the hate marches and the targeted protests against Jews, and the situation is heading towards another Kristallnacht with the police on standby to protect those doing the damage.

@joerichlaw It's not as easy as she thinks to draft legislation imposing VAT on education in such as way as to target just prep schools and public schools. Once VAT is payable on education every kind of education is caught in the net, from universities to swimming lessons.

@MartinKnight_ It was an emergency and these were a brilliant response. We have an even greater housing shortage now, and modern fabrications are rather better. Instead of plastering the green belt with ticky-tacky boxes at £500,000 a pop, the government should be providing modern prefabs.

@BLAIMGame My son and his friend boarded a packed train heading for London. There was a block of three seats - occupied by an enormously obese couple, and by their suitcase. The friend went over and asked rather too loudly, "Excuse me, would you mind moving your lunch box?" The whole.

@afneil @MailOnline The UK Left resembles nothing so much as a sad bunch of Socialist Party Worker members at a 1970s Polytechnic Student Union. Waving the edgy flags du jour and reciting their mantras from Marxist manifestos about class warfare. They find themselves accidentally in power and have.

@CartlandDavid If the government was prepared to introduce and enforce a national ID card, and to use it to deport those here illegally, then such steps might make sense. Otherwise it will be used to monitor, censor and tax us.

@Sargon_of_Akkad Brexit made it possible to STOP immigration. But Boris took the opportunity, as he witlessly thought, to provide "cheap" labour via mass migration in order to boost GDP, a process magnified by his successor. It seems that Starmer is beginning to get it - mass migration into the.

@DavidAltonHL @GOVUK The imposition of VAT - illegal elsewhere in Europe - is going to close my children's school in 2025, we learned tonight. Multiple scholarships and bursaries lost. The property to be sold to a hedge fund. Local state schools have no places available. A Labour disaster.

@juneslater17 @AllisonPearson These are residents of London and of this part of London in particular. This is where their synagogue is situated, which they attend on Saturdays.

@AllisonPearson Labour seems to have no concept of how money is made. Nobody in their right mind will mortgage their house to buy and run a business if the costs and the risks are made unaffordable. New regulations giving additional rights to employees will make this even worse in due course.

@jessgill03 It is the knife capital of Europe. Who is going to risk challenging anyone? In other words London is in a state of anarchy thanks to the failure of policing under successive home secretaries and mayors, and because of the failure of the judiciary to impose deterrent sentences.
