Dammit. It appears I need more followers, so I can follow more folks. I try to follow folks that are interesting, educational, funny, and a few pet account ones to calm and soothe the soul. In my endeavour to drain the web of information I seem to have reached a limit :(
@AntiRacismDay
Please educate us.
Where is the racism? Give examples.
Why should folks not protect women & girls from rape? Again, give examples please.
Why should any group of people be immune from criminal activity & frightening people because of their origins?
Yet again examples please.
@HolyMolythe3rd
I wonder if the police have arrested them yet, for causing potentially life ending danger on the highway? Anyone was killed after a stunt like that, it’s gotta be manslaughter right?
@PaulEmbery
He may be a nice chap, but he shouldn't be an MP in the HoC. His allegiance is to another nation. As noble as he thinks he is, he is only an MP in order to split the Union.
He has no place in Parliament.
@ShepherdWales
Don’t forget the vote to turn off the cameras and clear the galleries that preceded Hoyle’s ‘speech’ - ayes 20 votes to noes 212 votes. What was all that about then? ;)
Well we knew Rishi would go sooner than later (pissed off with the FPN and then the MSM dragging his wife into things) and ‘The Saj’ was always wanting to be leader and a wild card. I have a feeling they will regret this in the coming weeks.
@BarristersHorse
@FlashForFreedom
@ukhomeoffice
Why are you letting this happen? Foreign flags flying over British historical monuments? Foreign flags all over in marches whose outcome is not attainable?
Freedom is speech is allowed, they can say it, but the marches are pushing Britons to the edge of something.
@tregegellon
@WarrenUK17
If something kicks off they may need them. That suspended policeman needs everyone to support him. He has been let down very badly.
@FUDdaily
There is an answer. Traditional conservatism. ‘They’ may call it right wing, far right. Whatever they want. ‘They’ are so far left they don’t even realise they arrived there. There needs a strong government (and to be fair a strong opposition) that is BRAVE enough. (Cont)
@alimacno
@metpoliceuk
It’s a turning point. The last chance the police have to show they are on Britain’s side. It’s disgusting it was allowed to go ahead. ‘Free speech!’ Blah blah blah…there is a limit for that too. One doesn’t protest at funerals, or weddings, social norms should dictate. Decency.
@LawDiscoveries
@DaveAtherton20
It is much simpler. The flying of the Palestinian flag in the current climate (massively intensified since hamas attacked Israel) causes distress to many, Jew & Christian alike as folks waving same flags have shouted for jihad & violence. Simple as that. They shouldn’t be flown.
@FUDdaily
Then those coppers said ‘any weapons on you, take them and leave them in the mosque’.
Nothing else seems to have been done.
I swear it’s unofficial sharia.
@DaveAtherton20
Having lived in Singapore, Malaysia, Istanbul, I’m aware of some traditions, ie lasses don’t wear headscarves and hijab until at least 13.
As bad as that is, to have under 10s wearing it is highly suspicious of noncery in the area.
@PaulEmbery
I’m a traditional conservative & see you as a good man, a man of principal & trad values.
Not the majority Labour of Blair & post Blair. You seem to hold trad British values mate.
Go for it!
The country needs more good people like yourself, whatever colour the rosette.
@SaraJane101
@jessphillips
Exactly. Ms Philips and others need to research as to WHY Egypt, Jorda, other nearby countries refuse to allow Palestinians in.
@FUDdaily
We need modernised rules of who can take office.
Those obsessed with Gaza, Sharia, foreign policies, alphabet club stuff (I’m not giving that divisive crap it’s ’proper title’ ). Those that say they drink white tears etc., should be banned from office as unsuitable for UK.
@MoJGovUK
@ShabanaMahmood
So? What people want to know is how good she is, what she has done, what she brings to the time.
NOT her bloody religion.
The fact that she is Muslim is not a qualification!
@agw1437
@ColinEv86024056
Moral point of view too, sense of fairness. Conservatives traditionally are teach a man to fish (& help those in (real) need) & they can eat for life with more honour, labour/socialism is give a man a fish every day and they depend on you, forcing state dependency.
@BarristersHorse
What is it with the left? They call the right nazis and such, fascists, racists, then go and do things like that…and feel they can because ‘they are the good guys’. Shocking.
@ArchRose90
It kind of feels deliciously ironic that this bastion of debauchery, leftism, deviancy to a degree, has had an incident that ironically ends up explaining to the festival goers the importance of borders and not letting folks into an area for free.
Maybe the penny will drop.
@SholaMos1
What is it to do with you and why would they tell anyone? Whatever has happened, if it is true or not, is between the family and no one else in this instance. Who made it so you were alerted to everyone’s doings?
@KingBobIIV
@thenorthface
These companies - desperate to virtue signal for some inexplicable reason - do this. To attract a very very very small % new clients while alienating the current customer base? Or just to simply virtue signal their deviancy? Bad business, horrible mindset.
@ArchRose90
If his presence, as a British man in London, offends those who align themselves with a foreign 'nation', it is up to the POLICE to remove the danger to the man, to deal with those with hate in their hearts, to stop those that WOULD cause danger.
@metpoliceuk
need investigating.
@carolvorders
@AvaSantina
@PoliticsJOE_UK
@MVTFWD
It sounds psychotic - you used to be friends with Conservative MPs. Did someone snub you for some reason or another? A gong, a date, something?
This venom and obsessive behaviour must come from somewhere.
@OldRoberts953
@Glinner
Exactly. When the nation was calling for the police to stop the hate marches against Israel and the Jewish communities, Labour run London could have done something.
Now Starmer comes in like a neutered Homelander thinking he can do whatever the hell he likes.
@sandieshoes
I like Liz more and more every day, and damn it, I’ll say it. Potentially, she has a chance to be better, way better, than Boris was when he got in. She needs (if she wins of course) to get the RIGHT cabinet. She would be PM but the PM is only the ‘first among equals’.
@metpoliceuk
Stop allowing the demos.
There are plenty of laws, rules, and guidelines to cover the stopping of them.
Be braver, be better.
People get angry? Tough.
@IsabelOakeshott
@Keir_Starmer
To me it is more the inconsistency of the police forces. One law is applied here, not applied here. That can never be good. I also do not thing Boris and Rishi should have been fined. The civil servants (clearly knowing the Crown Exemption rules and flaunting them) however…
@lindseyjacks67
@BarristersHorse
Very true! Which is interesting, as I always said Starmer cannot handle a challenge either being a QC. Starmer is trained to ask questions and his role as opposition lends itself well to that. Neither Starmer nor Rishi are made for PMQ or scrutiny. Liz was better, more patient
@Lordflashh3art
Oh I do love that first part mate - who has actually misgendered themselves.
Absolutely perfectly phrased old chap!
Logic will prevail over hurty feelings :)
@sandieshoes
I’ve seen so many pics of youngsters on Twitter popping their postal votes in the red post boxes. What’s stopping them going to the stations? How do they qualify for postal votes?
@LeoKearse
@nadinebh_
Footballers could have easily put their hands on their hearts as a symbol of ‘we’re all people, 1 heartbeat’ kind of thing…but no, they went for the neo Marxist BLM style kneeling imported from the USA.
The vast majority of people are against racism. Has this CHANGED racists?
@KingBobIIV
Comedy is in the eye of the beholder, what one person sees as hilarious, another sees as tripe.
With James Acaster though I just cannot see where the jokes are...to me he seems akin to an overgrown student trying to be cocky. That clip with cis boy in it is just cringeworthy.
@FUDdaily
After the coverage on telly this morning from yesterday combined with that ridiculous Manchester airport press conference with the sweary lawyer, I fear it will be worse.
@bea_johanssen
@alexharmstrong
@ElectoralCommUK
Damn.
I heard that of votes cast 30% of the votes were for Galloway (pretty much the Muslim demographic) + 10% ‘other’ (wanting football & maternity ward).
That postal votes had nearly doubled.
This 75% of votes by postal is worrying.
Especially after intimidation observed.
@FUDdaily
Multiculturalism is by its very etymology plural, ‘many cultures’ and can never work.
Not here.
Singapore has many faiths and peoples but they adhere to the law, a harder law than most developed nations. There is true ‘without fear or favour’ there.
Here, enclaves.
(Cont)
@DehennaDavison
Why? I don’t understand these letters going out, it has been shown that advisors and such were feeding falsehoods to the press. It feels that there is a large remainer/rejoiner element, as well as the cabinet preventing traditional conservative policies (lower tax et al).
@KingBobIIV
Just stop letting folks in without merit or need. Genuine asylum seekers are one thing. Those that can bring skills one thing. Those that are seasonal workers one thing. The majority of these coming over are another. Systems cannot cope. Society cannot cope. We are let down.
@alclaire83
@pennylongstckng
@theSNP
@NicolaSturgeon
It is one thing to pander to someone’s free will and another to pander to a mental disorder (or fake mental disorder). These folks are clearly not well and are allowed out to attack good folks. Terrifying.
@MayorofLondon
@TfL
Deprived areas and road accidents?
There doesn’t appear to be any correlation between the two.
Is this another ‘throw words in the air and see what lands exercise’?
You must also be aware that you have NOT been voted in, you are squatting in the role of Mayor due to C19.
@sussex_police
Every cell apart from red blood cells in his body (no nucleus) tells you he is a man no matter what he thinks he is. He is no more a woman than I am a Jedi. The police must deal with evidence, fact, logic, not feelings. Without fear or favour should mean something to you.
@BarristersHorse
Her and fellow silky Starmer really should know better. I only noticed one conservative chap but didn’t get his name that mentioned the SNP and Labour folks NOT getting a penalty and asked why that was (police procedure review). Did you catch the name BH?
@GreenpeaceUK
Free speech isn’t painting public things and stopping others from doing stuff. If you had a point you could argue it and if it were correct, logic dictates it would be listened to. If the argument is weak, don’t go damaging property!
@Ianblackford_MP
@TomTugendhat
@BorisJohnson
@PennyMordaunt
Just like Mr Blackford refuses to accept democracy? The votes to remain in the Union? By the way Mr Blackford, of Scotland had gone independent it would have left the EU with ‘no deal’ most likely.
@JaneyGodley
I would think they arrived here LEGALLY, with an important skill set. There is a difference between skilled immigrants including seasonal workers LEGALLY entering the UK and those ILLEGALLY entering. You and others tend to have NO ability to differentiate the two.
@BarristersHorse
I do like Kemi but it is clear there is a little way for her to go before being PM material proper. A fork in the road awaits her. She can go the way of Gove & not get to be leader, but have jealousy control her, or have strength & be a big C conservative which will see her well.
@guyverhofstadt
Why are you so desperate for the UK to rejoin? Tell me the top 5 things you aim to get from a rejoin, as you don’t want the UK to rejoin for any reason that does not benefit your cabal.
@BarristersHorse
I thought the 1922 (they gotta reform that) couldn’t do anything for 12 months? Also those MPs trying this or at least stirring the pot need to be bloody well ashamed of themselves. They are acting as Lib Dem’s and need to cross the floor, of which should spark a by election.
@sandieshoes
@brodie_prime
Aye, Kwarteng’s financial thing wasn’t even classed as a mini budget technically so it was done the right way (maybe more explanation in crayons for the opposition though was needed).
Not sure how Reeves’ actions are/were any less valid than that, but its certainly hypocritical.
@terrychristian
@ITV
@AntDecITV
Bigot. You think all are far right! Maybe, just maybe, you are too far to the left yourself. Where is the tolerant, caring left nature that we hear so much about? It’s all a mask isn’t it ;)
@Ed_Miliband
No you won’t because it’s fairy dust and not wanted.
Get your head out of your backside and do some research.
Also, if wind is so damn good why are subsidies ever increasing for them? Dale Vince must be loving this! Ker-ching!
@ArchRose90
More worrying is that she feels it is perfectly normal & acceptable to say that in front of millions of viewers. Implying she says this at work, in the pub, wherever, & folks in her circle will either agree w/her or stay away…the latter not warning bosses or bosses not caring.
@Steve_Laws_
@FUDdaily
Seeing as a few Gazans accompanied hamas over the border on the 7th, a lot more cheered and spat on the hostages and dead that were brought back over into Gaza, how the hell can one filter out good people from monsters / potential monsters?
This is only the result of a petition?
@justinmadders
Do you really think the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom is gonna take a rickshaw or bike or train or car to places where time is important? Bloody hell get a grip sir.
@SanjaySahni
@montie
195 countries in the world.
27 in the EU.
14% of the nations in the world are in the EU…and you think it’s the only game in town?
By this definition a normal country is one NOT in the EU.
@UKUpdates_co_uk
Context is XY and XX chromosomes for men and women.
That’s it. Simple.
Every single cell bar red blood cells show this in a person (apart from very rare genetic mutations).
@ziggy6769
I don’t live in Scotland, but being British one must fight! Never give in or the bastards win :) We were British before the four nations. We will always be British!
@devisridhar
LEGAL immigrants. That’s the key words right there. That’s the difference. They didn’t throw documents over in the channel as instructed by UK organisations over in France.
@georgegalloway
@RaymondoGman
Should you not focus on your area first? Get your own house in order (help local homeless vets out)? Try to convince surrounding nations to the Gaza strip to take in refugees from there? (They won’t, so get thinking of what would make them). Tell me sir, why Britain?
@BarristersHorse
This is the bloody thing. There is a right to protest - freedom of speech, but it does have a limit. Leftist liberals feel EVERYTHING can be said an ANY TIME. Also protest seems…anything! Setting that limit and decency. One would not protest at a funeral. Time and a place.👇🏻
@ReturnofColin2
I understand that whole ridiculous shameful incident is being investigated.
Questions arise of how was it all allowed in the first place, how many more incidents are going on the same, who is determining this is normal?
@ukhomeoffice
sort this crap out now.
@beverleyturner
@Artemisfornow
Kept her for 36 hours. Like a criminal.
This will not reflect well for Labour or the police in the coming months and years.
They had better start their back peddling excuses now…
@polecat_the
Very well put! I’m bookmarking this thread :) I have tried to explain parts of this myself over the last week yet the ‘tories vote to pollute’ crowd don’t want to know. Even tagged in the news folks. The way lies are spread with no intention of the truth being heard is shocking.
@BarristersHorse
Had a short chat last night - was getting late though-with some folks who said Boris was in charge of the Civil Service. I said I didn’t think he was, that his role is more appointing the head of Civ Serv who runs things. A lot of folks feel Boris in in full control of Civ Serv
@KingBobIIV
The thing here though he will think his sons are martyrs.
With 72 virgins now.
He will be proud not sad…
That’s the cult for you!
(They wouldn’t know how to treat one let alone 72 women!)
@agw1437
@DC16100
So bigots are those wanting controlled immigration (the census exists nowadays to help determine the services, housing, schools, hospitals, waterworks, power needed in an area - uncontrolled immigration pressurises this) as well as those who are against the marxist & racist BLM?
