Burnham on booze at football « I don’t see how it can be fair that some supporters of one sport can be treated differently. » That’s cos at rugby matches the thugs are on the pitch not the crowds as in soccer.

Philanthropy doesn’t mean funding a political party of hate, division and corruption. Fund a hospital, a library, cancer research, social amenities for the poor, housing for the homeless.

If Harbourne and Delo wanted to change society for the better, then their combined £72 million could have been given to cancer research, to buy hospital equipment, fund libraries, indeed, anything philanthropic but they chose to fund a dangerous ,vulgar and racist political company. F*ckers.

All the money in the world won’t make Reform’s moronic policies workable. It won’t make their people less racist or idiotic. It won’t sort out their ridiculous egos or end the investigations. It won’t make the majority of us loathe them any less. In fact, the money may well bury them. Let’s hope so.

Having first tried being a ‘one nation’ Cameron-Tory, then a remainer, then a rabid brexiter, Jenrick has now decided that his route to power lies in being a nasty little far-right shit. A total loser scrabbling around for ‘likes’ in the cesspit of Reform. www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/robert...

Until the EU removes tourist visas for Russians they’ll be no security. Russia is already engaged in a hybrid war with the EU yet “tourists” just fill out a form and hey presto, they have access to warehouses, airports, ports etc. But no, let’s have another meeting

I get that completely. Naturalisation doesn’t give you all the cultural markers that make you French. I did it as Brexit loomed and before the French government accepted a more liberal approach

Just to recap: Calling Nigel Farage “an unflushable poo” = dehumanising hate speech. Calling for hotels housing asylum seekers to be set on fire = guest of honour at party conference. Bless those non-racist free speech warriors.
