@Sistah_Space @ManduReid @SuzanneEJacob She’s 83 and from another age. You knew what she wanted to know - yes she was tactless and highly insensitive but you then allowed her to go on questioning. You’ve also revealed her identity - altho claiming not to want it to be personal.

@SimonFoxWriter It’s a privilege to have an opportunity to see the fine skills of our teachers. I should also point out that he can’t use capital letters correctly nor does he understand what commas are. Fortunately as a head teacher he rarely would have done much teaching.

@Lashonda_cd The red poppy is not remotely to do with the glorification of war. Red poppies were chosen for a simple reason after WWI .. it’s a UK thing … other countries do their own thing, but to suggest that our poppies suggest a pro war stance is both ignorant and insulting.

@GMB What an especially stupid question. If you’ve had the jab why would you worry and if you haven’t you’re the same as they are!

@LiamShipsides @FranWright2 Perhaps she thinks black lives matter but hates BLM? Perhaps she’s read about them and has worked out that they are using racism as a cover for an extreme left wing organisation who true democrats would detest. Let’s hope more people take the trouble to see through BLM.

@KayBurley Listen carefully to JVT... He simply and correctly said everyone should obey the rules - he did not say Cummings had broken them. So, no news on that and everyone would agree with him, including DC, who has been cleared by the police of breaking the rules.

@LukeHanrahan One very elderly lady is rude and tactless - suddenly the whole RF is racist. Her reputation is destroyed because someone decided they wanted a cheap shot at the RF.
