If people don't want to pay tax to make this country function and help out the rest of society and particularly those who need help most... then maybe they should move to Dubai and stop bleating about it. Really sick to death of it.

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.👍

Suspect this one will age like Surströmming, wrapped in a loaded nappy in a compost portaloo on the third day at a festival. In a gastroenteritis outbreak. In a heatwave.
How is it that Danny Tommo sits in a cell
while five suspected terrorists are out on
bail?


Is this two-tier Britain, or am I missing
something?

Oakeshott has joined the chat. I’m assuming that there will now be requests for the Domesday book to be brought out for a search. I can’t imagine what she’s going to do when she realises they’re out on bail.

Farage posted this at 12.38 today. It has been hopelessly overtaken by events and shown to be entirely wrong (British nationals involved and they've been released on bail - not very terrorist-like). And if you believe anything Trump says, you are a credulous moron.

Absolutely fascinating to see Laura Kuenssberg interviewing Burnham, flailing to adjust her stance to a politician with a moral argument and a positive message, who stands up for his policies and answers her questions clearly. She is getting so agitated at him not playing the game by the 'rules'.

Not one good thing. Not one proud moment. You’re forever a shameful disgrace who threw his own mandate in the bin.

It's a disaster, and it can all be traced to Labour ideology. Burnham has no mandate from the people. He has no real ideas, and no plan.
