Never mind the state of the world this morning my main concern is whether Richard E Grant and his fellow traitor, Maya Jama, will bump off the insufferable Amol 'I'm a journalist' Rajan instead of James Acaster. Bread and circuses? Yep, indeedy, bring it on.

Yes, she committed an horrific crime, but what justifies this? America allows wealthy rapists to go unpunished, women to die in agony from untreated ectopic pregnancies,locks up children in ICE camps, and calls itself a Christian country. No, it's just barbaric. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Surely it is time for the authorities to take this Fairford terrorism case out of the hands of the police & pass it over to Nigel Farage, Richard Tice & Isabel Oakeshott etc. These people have the expertise & skills to have this all solved & explained to the public by tonight.👍

I posted a book for my grandson from my local post office. It arrived 5 weeks later, missing its stamps- my daughter had to pay £5.00. I sent a card 1st class to a friend 6 wks ago - it arrived yesterday. Once we had three deliveries a day, and it didn't cost a fortune I blame the immigrants😉

4/23 The distinction matters. A person does not stop being a person in distress because somebody believes they entered the sea illegally. Search and rescue is not an immigration hearing conducted offshore. The legal status of the person can be dealt with afterwards. First, you stop them dying.
