I don't want GBNews or Nigel Farage banned - they should enjoy freedom of speech as much as the rest of us, and talk of any ban plays into their hands. I just want them held to the same high standards as traditional media and other less right-wing politicians.
There was a time when no ordinary member of the public worried about EU membership, and look where we ended up...
Bella and the dragon #RHDR #dungeness
What?!
Of course, the idea that people might not be proud to be British precisely because of #Farige and his racist hoards has passed him by.
And, of course, the irony is that historically English is/was the foreign interloping language displacing the true British languages. But why let the truth stand in the way of some good honest populist bow locks.
B)
Is it disingenuous to point out that Hitler reinvented government. I know, I know #GodwinsLaw
The strange thing is, when we were in the EU, we had precisely this right. The Belgians sent migrants who couldn't support themselves back from whence they came. We chose not to. Now, we can't.
There ain't no sanity clause in Southampton tonight. #thedamned #damned #punk
All law can be amended or repealed. The fact that a law might be amended/extended/repealed in the future is a pretty weak objection to any change in the law. Any further changes will be debated in parliament - there's no slippery slope of medical/judicial decree and no inevitability involved.
Looks more like a seagull eyeing up your chips
Nadine Dorries didn’t attend Parliament for a year but was on full pay.
Taxpayers paid her daughters 80k
Taxpayers paid her sister £35k
And what would have pre-elected Nigel #farageriots have said about a remain inclined MP who pointed out the risk of attack from constituents/activists/nutters?
The only mistake Farage might consider re him setting up a tax avoiding, trust in a tax haven
Is that he didn’t hide it much better❗️🤷🏼♂️
Ohhh btw.. he’s a true patriot you know..
But like Tice, he prefers you and me pay all the tax while they get all the benefits.. how very Reform of them 😡
It's very deliberate. It gets opponents worked into a lather. Most of his supporters will refuse to see what you see, but will enjoy the discomfort of the "woke" and will point at the persecution of good old Nigel. And some of his supporters will see what you see and will be delighted.
I accept Labour should be/must be whiter than white, but don't play the Right's game for them.
Witness how hard they pushed on "currygate" to try and equate it with "partygate". Or Angela Raynor's tax wobble being used to cover £millions filched by Tory donors.
Beware of the Right equating Labour rule breaking with their own so the public think "they're all at it" and vote the Tories back in. Tory corruption dwarves any Labour indiscretions - it's only endemic in one party.
As an Englishman, I would say (Euro) '96 was when we reclaimed our flag. Sadly, we seem to have lost it again.
Currently enjoying the #lastnightoftheproms, hoping the gammons are incandescent at all the EU flags being waved. Obviously enjoying the irony of Rule Britannia being belted out by an American soprano, conducted by a Finn. Couldn't be prouder to be British.
Currently holidaying in North Wales - lovely - but can't believe the amount of smokers and smoking. Not used to it coming from the soft old South of England.
I suspect that there is no drama. Unless, that is, the Daily Fail can create one
Each and every one of us with a platform has a responsibility to correct others on the truth about asylum seekers claiming benefits and free homes. They can’t. They receive just £49 a week or £9 if given food. Only if and when they get refugee status can they claim or get a job.
You'd also think it would matter to them with so many of their most vocal supporters now behind bars...
I'm inclined, personally, to give her the benefit of the doubt. My munificence is tinged with the knowledge that had, say, Angela Raynor sent her 15 year old to the shops for a tin of beans, Kirsty would be amongst the first to demand social services intervention. So, well, bring on the approbation.
True dis.
To be replaced by who? More years of Tory decline instead? I very much share your view of #Brexit but Kier Starmer's softly softly don't rock the boat approach is all that's available atm
Am I the only person on here pleased by #Brentford starting the Premier League season with a win? And the #football gods smiled on us with some good fortune for a change. #premierleague #brentfordfc
Welcome fellow newcomer.
