What is wrong with these people? I’m just pathetically grateful when anyone wants to be English. Whether it’s Manu Tuilagi or Meg Jones. Sue Ellen et al are like the Kennel Club; obsessed with breeding, and racial purity. But she hasn’t joined the dots up.

He’s scammed enough £ out of (eg) gullible fossil fuel linked funds; 2% of £ managed, (Ts & Cs apply) to set him up for, quite a few months. In-laws will see him right. Like Bertie Wooster’s Aunts.

I’m not surprised. Last winter my wife wandered out of a Christmas market, and into an AfD march, and counter protest. More protestors than AfD. She scarpered before the cops used water cannon and tear gas.

Sir Ed looks like he opted for Community Service, rather than the CCF - Friday afternoons. I walked past this, every school day for 10 years; you’d think he’d have more sense. Ken Clarke’s speech re War in Iraq positioned him far to the left of LibDem’s, on the morality & consequences, of war.

This is you. During WW2, whilst Allied servicemen and women were fighting Nazis, zionists were killing Allied servicemen, and carrying out terrorism, and not just in Palestine.
