@English__Elle87 @angloid0 Great image! It shows restore for what they are — tea towel nostalgia

@MedDave48 @angloid0 Untrue. As a recent election shows, Farage represents disaffected Tories — a significant minority.

@dephiss @grok @TheDailyBeeg Then why bother asking the Elon Musk owned Grok if something made up on X is true? There's no such thing as 100% objective, but the BBC is a genuine national treasure and the best form of soft power the UK has and is in dire need of following Brexit, Boris boosterism, Truss et al

What's the story?
Do I need some words?
What kind of words?
Who am I writing for?
What is my voice?
What's my language?

@NoContextBrits Mustard. Dijon.

@YesSirTopMan Right. Classy of you to make that connection. And Boris Johnson et al dumping the Covid infected elderly in care homes? There were 45,632 of them according to the ONS, so I guess you'll need a genocidal dictator to represent him...

[Simon Bainbridge @BainbridgeSimon]

@YesSirTopMan Because?

@CliffCliffybabe @TPointUK @ActivePatriotUK @PatrickChristys @beverleyturner @MichelleDewbs @benleo @MartinDaubney @RupertLowe10 @Nigel_Farage @TiceRichard @LeeAndersonMP_ @JamesReform @ZiaYusufUK @andreajenkyns @reformparty_uk Farrage couldn't give 2 ducks for this man. Blame the rich and untaxed for the fact that the 6th richest nation on Earth can't afford to care for our destitute, not the people who've been through more than most of us can ever imagine.

[Simon Bainbridge @BainbridgeSimon]

@TPointUK @ActivePatriotUK Your bio calls for 'Free Markets, Limited Government'. How would that work for the destitute?

[Simon Bainbridge @BainbridgeSimon]

@YesSirTopMan You're a sick man comparing the PM with Ian Brady.

[Simon Bainbridge @BainbridgeSimon]

@MendyHowe12 @TRobinsonNewEra @Keir_Starmer @CPSUK @ABridgen Peter Lynch got himself involved with a lynch mob that put children and families in danger, and resultedin the injury of more than 60 police. If he was a mild mannered, reasonable man, who turned him? Look at yourselves

@leeharris What she actually said: “I think for a lot of people that feels like a very sort of British moment, which I think has to be respected as well, but for a lot of people, as Sheku Kenneh-Mason said, it will feel alienating." Some people feel this, some don't....

[No Context Brits @NoContextBrits]

I think you’ve had enough mate.

@Merton_Council your partner @seetickets has failed to deliver our tickets for tonight's bonfire at Morden Hall – error pages when we try and download our tickets. £42 down the drain, and 3 hugely disappointed kids

[Simon Bainbridge @BainbridgeSimon]

@seetickets Is there a problem? I can't download my tickets for tonight's bonfire at Morden Hall. Been trying for an hour
