The finest take down of the institution of monarchy and "class" and the grasping, greedy, venal, entitled, and very stupid people it enables that you will read today or any day.

Italy ran Ireland close, showed heart against France, and now have beaten England. That result was coming. Not long ago people were wondering if they were good enough for the Six Nations.
What a day for Scotland & Italy.

When you have one fifth of the population living in poverty as we do you might think a government would do whatever is necessary to boost the economy and lift people out of food banks and cold homes.

But sure…let’s keep Brexit going instead.

In case you missed it ...
it's been almost a decade since anyone in government has talked about the benefits of being in the Single Market or the whole EU. So the UK public has come to the conclusion that Brexit must go based solely on their own lived experience. No politician can avoid that forever

I like how every two years at a T20 World Cup everyone goes β€œwow the associate cricket teams are much better than we thought, we should do more to assist their development and grow the global game” and then nothing changes

Zohran smiling on the street

Zohran's campaign was his determination to make New York a city everyone can afford to live in. Huge congratulations!

His success will resonate throughout the world. A story where no one is left behind.

It's time to write that story across England & Wales too.

Statement by Faversham Town Council's
Community Committee


Faversham is a warm and welcoming town
which, throughout its long history, has always
proudly opened its arms to those who seek
refuge. We as a town are rightly proud of our
embodiment of fundamental principles of
British values such as democracy, the rule of
law, individual liberty, and tolerance for the
beliefs of others. However, over recent weeks
it has been noted that tensions within our
community have arisen linked to


unauthorised placement of flags on public
lampposts and abusive behaviour when
questioned. This has led to many residents
reporting feeling afraid and intimidated, and
shamefully others have reported they have
experienced racist abuse within the past few
weeks. Faversham Town Council strongly
condemns any acts of racism, intimidation
and bullying for any reason.

We recognise that many residents display the
St George cross and other national symbols
as a positive expression of pride, and this is
entirely welcome on private property or
where permission has been sought.


Faversham Town Council's own flag policy
dictates that the flags of our nation are flown
regularly from our public buildings. However,
we also recognise that these same symbols
of national pride can also be used to
intimidate and cause division, and we call
upon KCC, Kent Police and Swale Borough
Council to work with us and the wider
community to restore community harmony
and a sense of street safety, mutual respect,
and the shared pride we all have in our town
and wider nation,

Measured, sensible, and much welcomed statement from Faversham Town Council on the idiocy of the moronic flag pandemic.
