There a lot of wife-beating knuckle-dragging morons here unfortunately 😔

Dear America (and clearly I mean the current MAGA administration, not the US people) if you're not happy about UK security, please take all your planes and all your troops and sod off out of our country - we don't want you here anymore.

Reform UK leader Nigel Farage actually typed this into the internet. Please don't adjust your irony meter.

I went to get mine last year - sat in a waiting room with very elderly people. When my turn came, the nurse asked "why are you here?" "I got an email ..." Was then told to go away 😂

We've just ordered some Christmas cards from the #RNLI - is it wrong that they will be sent to certain "friends" that have developed anti-immigration views ?

I have a theory that this is all Farage actually wants - the knighthood, and he has no real ambition to be PM

On the BBC News Katya Adler has just described Germany, where the far right AFD keep winning elections, as entering 'uncharted political territory'. Hmmm. Where Germany is concerned I think that territory is pretty well charted.

I wish they would follow here in the UK - every news bulletin has his gormless orange face - we see more of him than we do UK politicians (apart from bloody Farage 😞)

I wasn't aware of it until the mid 1980s. Big Audio Dynamite used samples from the film on their single "E=MC^2" They pretty much used ALL of the good dialogue in the track 😉

It's odd because the area is generally a Lib Dem hotspot. I'm genuinely interested in how they receive him and his cronies - they could end up rather confused.

I was on a plane recently and a passenger behind me was face timing his girlfriend as the plane was taking off. I very politely (some slight sarcasm about how riveting the conversation was) reminded him that for safety reasons ... People in front of me saw him as an injured party

Watching from over the pond, I'm amazed just how difficult voting is in the US (and yes, appreciate the GOP/Trump are trying to make it even more difficult, especially in cities that are more likely to vote Dem). Here we vote by post, or if in person, there is never a wait.

Anyone know why a newspaper owned by the Fourth Lord Rothermere, who inherited a fortune from the Third Lord Rothermere, who inherited his money from the Second Lord Rothermere, who inherited it from the First Lord Rothermere, is so strongly opposed to inheritance tax?

90 years ago, Parliament responded to the rise of Oswald Mosley's Blackshirts by passing the Public Order Act, which banned political uniforms, private militias and the threat of force for political objects. The debates make very resonant reading today. Here's the Liberal Robert Bernays. (Short 🧵)
You cannot conduct a fair match when one side is playing with a ball and the other with bombs and, if democracy is to survive, it must be conducted according to definite and recognised rule. One of them is that no political party should resort to any weapon other than reason and argument. The introduction of private armies, as I see it, strikes at the root of democracy. I know it is contended that the Blackshirts are not armed and, therefore, are not an army, but I do not think that argument can be upheld. … Uniformed men in military formation suggest, and are meant to suggest, the idea of force. It is no argument to reply that at this or that demonstration no force is intended. It is an inescapable fact that a uniform in politics symbolises force, to be used either now or in the future.

Everyone assumes I'm an extrovert (in my job, I talk to large groups and customers in senior positions) The thing is, it's all an act - I actually prefer solitude and peace and quiet.

Also the Town and Country Planning Act 1990: Under Section 224, displaying an advertisement or unauthorized structure without local authority consent is also an offense

I don't understand why they need an injunction. Surely Section 132 of the Highways Act 1980 states that affixing any sign, picture, or mark to a structure on a highway without the consent of the highway authority is an illegal obstruction and a criminal offense.
