Loves Europe, but not the EU. British, then English. Vaguely libertarian, classical liberal, Conservative. List = Block.

@DavidJonesMP Why are the devolved administrations so obsessed with the sex lives of children?

[David Brown @DavidBrown1964]

@8dadLA @JakeWSimons Then support Israel against Hamas, who would cheerfully kill all Jews, before moving on to all Christians, atheists and agnostics. Not forgetting any Muslims who disagree with them, they wouldn't be safe, either.

@TheAliceSmith @AllisonPearson She says that: "successive governments"; some of them, however, promised to do the opposite.

Excellent piece here by @graemearcher.

@VanAndNum24 @Nara_Hodge I've been. Lots of people live there. Looking at their names, some of them are descended from Spaniards, but they'd still rather be British.

𝘔𝘦𝘵𝘳𝘰 claims that Cate Blanchett's assertion that she is middle class is "baffling". Her father was an advertising executive and her mother a teacher: that sounds solidly middle class to me. Gaining enormous wealth might change the class of your children, not not yours.

@keanfei47 @SuzieWo20886208 That, as Thomas Sowell has pointed out, is because Socialists believe that human nature can be changed, and even perfected. Unfortunately for them, it cannot.

[David Brown @DavidBrown1964]

@SeaChange447874 @Peitho70 You mean Hamas?

[David Brown @DavidBrown1964]

@zarahsultana Is that the government of Iran? They're the ones funding Hamas, the true oppressors of the Palestinian people.

[David Brown @DavidBrown1964]

@SuzieWo20886208 His own words told us all we needed to know. He's an anti-Semitic lover of terrorists, not because they're terrorists, but because they're opposed to everything British and everything American. He's a septuagenarian student union activist who never noticed the fall of the USSR.

[David Brown @DavidBrown1964]

@Silvia19865 No.

[David Brown @DavidBrown1964]

@SuzieWo20886208 You may be right about the average British voter, and if you are, it's the fault of the left-dominated teaching profession in this country, but the average British voter still saw through Corbyn.

Sainsbury's also sells Israeli products. I buy Sabra brand baba ganoush in both shops. It's delicious, and it's Israeli.

[Nara Hodge @Nara_Hodge]

F*** these idiots. I am now going to shop even more at Waitrose. Occasionally I have strayed and shopped elsewhere but now I shall stick to Waitrose.

[David Brown @DavidBrown1964]

@OldRoberts953 Well, my response was, "Bloody relieved."

[David Brown @DavidBrown1964]

@gralegav @simonmaginn If that is so, how is it that Western media regularly treat the pronouncements of Hamas as irrefutable fact, but would treat any Israeli statement with reservations, even if it was the Tel Aviv speaking clock?

[David Brown @DavidBrown1964]

@yaraeid_ What do you expect Israel to do when your family and friends start firing rockets at them? Shrug their shoulders?

[David Brown @DavidBrown1964]

@gralegav @simonmaginn Why? Hamas has a better publicity machine. Actually, the anti-Israel rhetoric goes back before Hamas, to the KGB in 1975. Up to then, the Western Left had been broadly pro-Zionism, but after the USSR saw that Israel was becoming pally with the USA, that had to be stopped.

[David Brown @DavidBrown1964]

@Martin_Abrams You had a ceasefire, but your side broke it by firing rockets into Israel. Why is Israel expected just to shrug its shoulders when attacked?

[David Brown @DavidBrown1964]

@michaeljswalker @afneil Given how often Likud has been in power, if they wanted to destroy Palestine, they'd have done it decades ago. Israel has the capacity to eradicate Palestinians, but lacks the will. Hamas has the will to exterminate the Jews, but lacks the capacity.

[David Brown @DavidBrown1964]

@mhdksafa You mean a Jewish man.
