Wife, mother, grandmother and probably "woke". Although I still don't get why that's an insult. Christian but not a fundamentalist. Lived & worked in Brussels for 20 years, eight in NY. Rejoiner, anti-Brexit, anti Trump.

"It's really important that we name the problem, we've had this decade or so of weak growth, weak productivity, and those are causing real problems to our economy and our society." Labour MP Joe Powell says "if something is causing you harm, you should seek to address it."

The RNLI rescued Luftwaffe pilots in WW2 because the organisation is there to 'save life at sea' - it's something to be immensely proud of. But as I've said many times before Farage and Co don't seem to have pride in Britain and its institutions beyond flags and crap Enoch Powell said 60 years ago.

The origin of his surname is most likely to have come from Eastern Europe, probably Ukraine, although he probably thinks the UK at the end means he's more British than the rest of us.

The number of asylum seekers being housed in hotels is down by 50%. And the backlog of people who have claimed asylum is down from 175,000 to 40,000, the lowest since 2019. But we mustn’t let facts get in the way of spreading fear and hatred and coming up with crackpot policies.

The BBC is riddled with right wing influence & bias. A few days ago they broadcast an entire 20 minutes Reform party speech. They continually platform this party What happened to the regulator? Gone native? Why are Labour so laissez faire? It helped bring down Starmer, it can happen with Burnham.

Paddy O'Connell: "A Reform spokesman said Essex police advised Nigel not to attend the count due to a credible threat." Tice response: Farage listened to his security team's advice. Both Tice and O'Connell ignore the fact Farage EXPLICITLY said he was "advised by Essex Police". Another BBC fail.
