Although not born here, this lady has already contributed more to her community than Goodwin ever will. She's an absolute examplar of integration and the sort of hard work that the right supposedly value. The fact that he has an issue with her, tells us everything we need to know about his agenda.

Why does the BBC have as one of its lead news stories this morning another Britain-hating interview with Jim 'the UK has been colonised by immigrants' Ratcliffe? What public interest is this serving?

How is this news? billionaire oil person says uk needs to drill more and tax less, though, of course, he‘s actually in Monaco. And he would do more in the uk if the state subsidised him more. Dear BBC, that‘s like me saying the uk‘s problem is underpaid law profs. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Exactly R4 has so much news to report on & yet chose to platform this disingenuous & largely irrelevant fool, referring to him (completely unnecessarily) as JR "who once apologised for his remarks about immigrants" They are both dig-whistling & gas-lighting 😭

Absolutely - but literally nothing new I came to London yesterday (I live in Dorset) I am staying in Tower Hamlets Had supper in Canary Wharf Walked partway back to Limehouse at about 10:30pm Spent the entire time marvelling how vibrant & beautiful & safe & friendly it was Really beautiful

I just listened to the piece on R4 and wondered what it was about what he said that made them consider it was newsworthy Also confused as to why he was was referred to as "JR, who once apologised for comments about immigrants"

This is a blatant threat to the RNLI, who are currently out of action in Portsmouth - ergo not saving lives, because staff are being terrorised. When will Mahmood take domestic terrorism of this nature seriously.

True, but definitely an emergency service My husband volunteers for Coast Watch - also a charity & not part of RNLi or a government body The air ambulance also works hand in hand with the NHS but is not government run Likewise Mountain Rescue All emergency services provided by brave, generous souls❤️

Surely preventing an emergency service from operate is a crime? If these guys surrounded an A & E department or a fire station they would be immediately arrested - wouldn't they? My loathing of these people & my fear of what is being done to our country is immeasureable

Very nice to hear a sane voice from Piddington. Serious respect to this woman, who is apparently already being othered by more bigoted villagers.

Sir Robin Knox-Johnston: "That's what the lifeboat does. It saves lives at sea. That's its job." "And this is an international duty. Everyone who goes to sea knows, in the event of someone being in difficulty, you go to their assistance." The abuse the RNLI have faced is a disgrace.

Most people I know are inheriting after they have retired It's madness I am 62, retired with both parents living (hallelujah 😁) I don't *need* a huge inheritance (tbh I am not going to get one😂) The people who need the leg up are my children (in their 20s &30s) Maybe try & change the narrative??

Thing is - a hit piece on me would feature me 1. increasing the amount of salt in Paxo in the 80s 2. putting cornflakes in my husband's bath in the 90s 3. getting my son's lunch box mixed up & sending him to school one day with nothing but cheese in the 00s etc I'd be embarrassed but I wouldn't sue
