England is a made up thing. It has no basis in the ineluctable laws of nature. Its extent is defined by Edward II getting his arse handed to him. Athelstan conquering York. The Welsh of Cumbria were incorporated, the Welsh of Gwynedd were not. It is a political idea, an aspiration - not taxonomy.

Thinking of John Coltrane on his 100th anniversary. Am small-a, non-militant atheist (I disbelieve in gods rather than one in particular). But am least atheistic, or wish I was not atheistic, listening to A Love Supreme. More than even Bach, this for me is most profoundly moving religious music.

Jim Ratcliffe, tax-dodging Brexiter billionaire living in Monaco, says the poorest and most vulnerable should have their rights & benefits removed to bolster our economy. Don’t bother telling us this rancid man’s opinions unless you say how much he’s avoided in tax and what Brexit is costing us all.

What I love about Western democracy is you can bung a political party £ 36 million earned from criminal activity & most media will continue to point at asylum seekers & migrant care workers with families as the barbarians at the gate we need to defend ourselves from 🙄.

Great response! And, Spain has not banned the burqa. A few town councils / local municipalities have passed local rules restricting full-face coverings inside specific municipal or public administration buildings. These councils tend to have Vox (Spains far right party) members

Hahaha. We need so much more of this Private Eye style ridicule when it comes to Farage. No one should be taking him seriously any more.
Wildfire in Clacton
AS temperatures soared on Friday, Essex fire authorities reported things were so bad that a man's pants had caught fire.
The individual, identified as Nigel Farage, had claimed Essex police had told him to keep away from his by-election declaration.
"We've never seen such an enormous fire coming from a single pair of Union Jack Y-fronts," said a police spokesman. "We urge members of the public to avoid pants on fire by at least coming up with a half-decent excuse for their cowardice."

For me, the key hope is for honesty about the need for immigration, not least to deliver his own economic/ regional policy & social care agendas. Starting, perhaps, with the rigorous separation of stats & policies wrt economic immigration, overseas students, and refugees & asylum seekers.
