I am sure Epstein is preparing a warm welcome.
Nice to see joy in the world for a change
all of them are so angry and are constantly being wound up by those who should know better.
If reform had one peer he would be on every channel too ignoring the others.
They all suffer badly from selective amnesia.
Still remember with joy the first time I read Lord of the Rings.
Always had a giggle at Hocus Pocus by Focus.
She is a bad Enooch at least he believed the rubbish he said.
Spread the propaganda and don't ask awkward questions seems to be the order from on high.
You can play cricket under the shadow of Bamburgh Castle.
he knows his place.
Teach your children well as the song says.
Nobody needs reform.
We fought for centuries for the vote, paid holidays maternity leave civil liberties and we are now being asked to give them all away to the kind of people we had to drag them from kicking and screaming. No thank you.
I always wondered how the Germans could allow Nazism to happen. Now I know.
think i will move to Scotland
English it can also mean a loud fart.
Who believes pictures any more?
We have been here before but grew out of it for a while.
Time for a new think. Chalets or prefabs but affordable.
Trumps pettiness knows no bounds it is like having a toddler in charge of a country.
Child murderers and paedophiles to be protected it seems?
Specks of dust and very big planks come to mind.
It is all they have.
Sadly missed. Provide a background to my life from 1969.
Always go for people of colour but say they are not racists. The law should protect everyone
A flying pig gathers no acorns as they say.
People have fought for these rights for centuries they were never given. I do not know who these who blithely talk of giving them away are speaking for but it isn't me.
enjoy your rights while we still have them.
How many deaths will it take till they know too many people have died.
What are these people scared of?
No Brexit has that claim.
Three old men destroying the world before they go.
A lot of people do.
We have truly plumbed the depths . Where is humanity?
You don't know what you've got till its gone.
Wow!
I think they know exactly what they are doing and following orders.
Wasn't the constitution supposed to prevent this stuff?
It was embarrassing.
What is the only thing they have not tried?
Should start int he White House perhaps?
Be nice if we could get some alternate points of view on the main news outlets.
They will not stop at immigrants and then you will wonder why you supported this rubbish. Rights have been earned not given away.
I am just sick to death of hearing their garbage day after day on main stream news while they ignore the real terrible events unfolding.
Wilful ignorance should be their motto.
Dear media. I think controlled immigration is a good thing for our culture & our economy. I think we should be a safe place for people fleeing persecution. I think you’re enabling far right extremism to flourish & become the norm in this country? I think that’s appalling. From a UK citizen.
Of course it does.
Someone is letting it happen .
I am amazed it has not happened before now.
walking blindfold into the lions den , I now understand what happened in Germany.
Lets hope the black pencil does not get there first.
Farage : Europe they are to blame get our borders back. Farage : stop the boats that have come since we left Europe. Farage : Give up all your human rights that will solve the problem. Whose fault will it be next?
We only just had the Hiroshima anniversary.
Who ios controlling the media agenda?
Law and order party in action.
Ask the victims what happened not the perpetrators is far too sensible .
Are they rewriting history again?
Hope she enjoys her mess of potage or whatever else she was promised..
They are all part of the problem.
The victims are usually forgotten as the guilty cover their backs
She pleaded guilty as well .
Dominates the new, it as if someone is controlling the news agenda. Not convinced this was headline news today again.
The brexiteers want us to ignore pollution.
Just when you think they cannot sink any lower.
We had hippies and mods and rockers and they mainly stayed the same. I was a woke hippy.
They might not look like children now but they were then and were bused by powerful men who knew better and did it anyway. Now they want to pretend it never happened.
Worked with the government.
Saw him three times in England and a different experience each time.
Half as many hotels and given no credit . Some people do not want solutions just excuses to spread hate and disinformation.
Ethnic cleansing by men in masks.
A bit unfair after the week he has just put in.
She's like a nodding dog in a car
it has to be illegal to smear like that .
Putin lies .
This is not policing it is scaremongering and bullying.
Putin is laughing himself silly.
He was the one who extended hotel use because they could not be bothered to process asylum seekers while numbers soared. Now he blames others for what he did . Puts the H in hypocrisy.
No they won't or it will be so redacted you will not be able to read it
Wonderful so many leaders made the journey to support him. Unprecedented and impressive.
Showing his true colours the man who painted over Disney so children of migrants would not feel welcome.
a sad man.
People not in Ukraine do not seem to realise the alternative to fighting i.e. living under Putin.
He still seems a tad confused about what peace is.
Real journalists are getting harder to find.
I support The victims of Gaza. palestine action are immaterial.
A t least you can see their face.
All we are doing is pandering to Farage who cause riots by ignoring facts and peddling hate.
It is all they have.
Thy re letting the demolition of the constitution happen and for who? Donald Trump?
y
Ant they still say it is not happening
When did it become normal for politicians to lie all the time?
Just imagine what would happen if they got as much free airtime and publicity as Reform
C'est la vie.
Farage would ban it no doubt and Trump call it woke.
Puts the H in hypocrite.
Ice are his stormtroopers .
