JC Personal …Abide!

@DPJHodges Obsessive campaigning, not journalism.

[JC @JCatJCA]

@aberdeenuni You need to act, not hide behind procedures. Your employee has publicly indulged in hatful speech and conduct. Your reputation is at stake.

[JC @JCatJCA]

@DPJHodges You are now hysterical, detached not only from the general public but reality. Something must have really rattled you. Get a grip and speak to some normal people outside your bubble.

[JC @JCatJCA]

@DPJHodges Utterly obsessed!! How can anyone take you seriously again…extraordinary!

[JC @JCatJCA]

@DPJHodges Obsession?

[JC @JCatJCA]

@clarkaw Utter twat.

[JC @JCatJCA]

@BenedictSpence He wasn’t very respectful though was he Benedict? Many of us believe a decent tone is appropriate even when being factual.

@aberdeenuni Is this person Heather Herbert employed by @aberdeenuni

@DPJHodges @albieamankona You may even be writing about this..

Obsessed?

"It's become effectively illegal to better yourself in Britain."

Think the future of the UK is just about arguing over tax rates? The truth is much worse. We’ve stopped building, we’ve buried growth in millions of pounds of paperwork, and we’ve flatlined productivity since 2008.

Gary Stevenson and the media want to referee a knife fight over a shrinking pie. Take every yacht because it changes nothing. The average person is missing out on thousands of pounds a year because the state won't let anyone create wealth anymore.

We are on a fast track to extreme poverty if everything has to be a gift from the state. It’s time to stop fighting over crumbs and start making things again.

[JC @JCatJCA]

@DPJHodges Pretty one dimensional commentary from you though, lop sided agitation we could even say! Plays straight in to the hands of millions who are pissed off with the same old same old.

[JC @JCatJCA]

@DPJHodges You really don’t like it do you? Which is probably enough for me to think it’s a good idea.

[JC @JCatJCA]

@DPJHodges Are they Dan? Are you reporting or influencing here? Let’s see how close you are to the “voters”! Looking forward to it.

[JC @JCatJCA]

@jonsopel Weren’t you a lynch pin at the BBC?

[JC @JCatJCA]

@campbellclaret I’m always doing a tax return whenever I see any of your bilge.

[JC @JCatJCA]

@PolitlcsUK Err…didn’t Dale Vince donate £5 million to Labour?

Thoughts on Farage.

The anti-democratic lanyard class must be faced down, like Thatcher faced down Scargill and co. Going after family is contemptible, and they have to learn.

They’re lucky their intended victim was Farage - many mums and dads would be down at the Times offices right now brandishing a tomahawk.

I like Farage, but then I also like Kemi and Lowe. Their squabbles are silly, considering the dire state of the country.

[Tim Shipman @ShippersUnbound]

Putting aside everything else, it is a disgrace that Farage as a significant political leader who might become PM, does not have publicly-funded protection. It is not in any way in the interests of British democracy that he is attacked or hurt. Quite the opposite

Dominic Cummings -

‘Whitehall will break the law to prevent Reform winning power. They’ll leak medical records, they’ll leak tax records. They’ll bug (Nigel’s) phone and leak that. They’ll do anything that they need to’.

I was raised with dignity. But now, at 40, I can say it plainly: I grew up poor. I remember weeks when we ate nothing but porridge and pasta. One Snickers bar, cut with a knife for three people, was our dessert once every couple of weeks. Pepsi was a drink only for holidays too.

But I never hated the rich. I never wished to take what was someone else's. I never believed I was owed anything by people who owed me nothing.

In school I read enormously. Books took the place of travel. They let me see the "bigger life" beyond the small town around the steel mill where I grew up. And from those books, from the biographies of great men, I learned, page by page, line by line, not just the price of success, but something more important: that the true success of each such person made life better for entire generations.

So from childhood I believed in honest work, in enterprise, in persistence.

I grew up in a communist country. And even as a child I understood that my poverty back then was the consequence of exactly that — the envy and hatred of the rich that ate away at my country like rust for seventy years. I refused to grow the same poisonous fruit in my own heart.
