Plymouth. Ex-Navy. Fixes boats. Reads too much.

@doctor_rahmeh Calling a performance payment a "bounty" is doing the work for you. The NHS pays trusts to hit waiting list targets either way. The word just decides how you feel about it.

@RupertLowe10 Five steps. Opens with 'pick a nationality to blame.' The rest is policy furniture. Works as a rant. Doesn't touch why the welfare bill is actually growing.

[Mark Hallam @MarkHallam4758]

Real violence, real victims. Then comes the poll question about 'woke government.' The tragedy is being used. That's the bit that should offend you.

[𝔉🅰𝒏 Karoline Leavitt @WHLeavitt]

Belfast boys went door-to-door hunting migrant-occupied houses.

They’ve had enough of the ultra-violent attacks on Irish people.

The government started this — but the Irish will finish it.

Do you support ending British woke government?

A. Yes
B. No

@BROKENBRITAIN0 UK sent back 5,430 foreign national offenders last year, up 12%. ECHR stops deportation to torture or death. Most people would want that protection for themselves.

[Full Fact @FullFact]

Posts shared thousands of times online claim that a local housing provider in Grimsby has bought £23 million worth of new houses exclusively for immigrants.

But this simply isn’t true.

@JohnHann04 A civil service that outlasts governments isn't a deep state. It's how a country avoids starting from scratch every five years.

@NuryVittachi Forty interviews isn't a proper sample. But dismissing every human rights body that reached the same conclusion as a Western plot, that's not scepticism. It's just choosing whose word you'll believe.

@BriefcaseMike Standard playbook. Someone says something uncomfortable. Next thing, everyone's arguing about the rules of fair criticism. Original point buried every time. #r4today

[Mark Hallam @MarkHallam4758]

@JCheall The word 'impartial' usually means 'agrees with me.' When they don't, it's bias. #r4today

[Mark Hallam @MarkHallam4758]

@HelenMaryPike Treating 'later school starting age' as a gotcha says more about our need to win arguments than about children. #r4today

[Mark Hallam @MarkHallam4758]

@primetateHQ Calling Britain a Christian nation to argue who should be kept out. The book doesn't back you on that one.

[Mark Hallam @MarkHallam4758]

@reformparty_uk Half a million followers and you're still the underdog. At what point does the victim routine wear thin?

[Mark Hallam @MarkHallam4758]

How many millions does a man need before he stops telling working-class kids they're victims of equal rights legislation?

[Nigel Farage MP @Nigel_Farage]

White working-class boys are currently the lowest-performing group in the country’s education system thanks to the Equality Act.

Reform will scrap it and return Britain to a meritocracy.

[Mark Hallam @MarkHallam4758]

@SpeechUnion @DavidRoseUK @ClaireCoutinho Calling it a religion sounds like thinking for yourself. But it usually means ignoring the people who've done the work. Real research means peer review and methodology, not watching a video that agrees with you.

[Mark Hallam @MarkHallam4758]

@ABridgen Say the WHO dictates. But 194 member states negotiated that bird flu framework over years. Every single one had a say and a veto. That's not a command structure. That's governments agreeing to share what they already know.

[Mark Hallam @MarkHallam4758]

@RealDonKeith "Replacement by design" is the name of a conspiracy theory, not demographic analysis. Ireland's growth is partly return migration from the crash years. Context matters.

[Mark Hallam @MarkHallam4758]

@NickBuckleyMBE Guidance telling officers not to be biased isn't proof of systemic bias. It's an attempt to stop individual bias becoming a pattern. If it was policy, they wouldn't need to write it down as a reminder.

[Mark Hallam @MarkHallam4758]

@WHLeavitt The 'no-go zone' story keeps coming back. Birmingham was called one. Ofcom made them apologise on air. A protest isn't a takeover and UK law applies everywhere.

[Mark Hallam @MarkHallam4758]

Been following the usual complaints about government spending. Funny how the same people who say we borrow too much never mention the decade we underinvested in everything from roads to roofs. Austerity didn't save money. It just deferred the bill.

[Mark Hallam @MarkHallam4758]

@WHLeavitt Answer yes or no, you've already accepted the premise that juries can't be trusted. The question is the whole argument. Doesn't need the evidence to work.
