@RitchieTorres Israel's house slave.

@BrexitBuster Sixpence was half a shilling, a Crown was four shillings and finally, there was the 'threepenny bit', which was three pennies. I can still remember them all so I know I'm not going senile yet!

[NUFCblog.org @NUFCblogs]

@BrexitBuster 12 pennies to a shilling, 20 shillings to a pound and 240 pennies to a pound. A 'florin' was two shillings, 24 pennies or one 10th of a pound. A 'half-crown' was two shillings and six pennies, 30 pennies or one eighth of a pound and so on... It was bonkers but it was British! 🇬🇧

@NicoFvL2 'The Shroud of Turin shows the face of Jesus Christ'

No it doesn't. Someone in the 14thC said it looked a bit like Jesus, or their idea of a white, European Jesus anyway, and the legend has carried on since then.

@EvacTony @TRobinsonNewEra Napoleon didn't say that. It was written by French novelist, Honore de Balzac, after Napoleon's death. Most of these quote memes are complete and utter bollocks!

@SJP74 @electionmapsuk @Ipsos_in_the_UK 'There is only a minority in the country who are racist and want to see migrants deported.'

It varies. Alienated people with low critical thinking skills can be persuaded into racism very rapidly under the right circumstances.

@emraslnn Foppish hairstyles are very Korean so I would say the one in the middle is Chinese.

@Asso_LaVolpe @iansmithfitness Muslims regard Jesus as the great prophet who came before Muhammad. One of the most common female names in Islam is 'Maryam', after Mary.

@Ceru69281 @YavuzKartal03 God rejected you though:

'I will cast off all the offspring of Israel for all that they have done, declares the Lord.' Jeremiah 31:37.

@YosephHaddad @SkyNews People like yourself used to be known as 'house slaves' or 'Uncle Toms.'

@memar1980 @aqibnAI @netanyahu 'It's unbelievable because the Islamic Republic kills us in the streets'

You're in the Netherlands. 🤔

@geoffwilkie72 @CamNufc20 It's only 8 games in. Aston Villa have started their last two seasons at the bottom end of the table, but look where they ended up at the end! Spurs were in the same position just a few weeks ago and now they're mid table. Have faith marra! 😀

@geoffwilkie72 @CamNufc20 'Its all RLB S fault for Picking the wrong Team again, he was Great last Season, but now i don't think he's Bothered.'

That's exactly what some of my lot were saying about Eddie Howe last season! You'll be alright, I don't think you'll get relegated.

[NUFCblog.org @NUFCblogs]

@geoffwilkie72 @CamNufc20 Thank you. Sunderland got a point as well, which is better than nothing. They need to put it in the back of the net more often though. Hopefully, Brobbey will get back into form after his injury soon. Good luck for Brentford!

@Andrew33080654 @georgedmadgwick Amin al-Husseini wasn't even in Palestine during WW2, he was in exile. He wasn't the leader of the Palestinians neither, he was appointed by the British to a role invented by the British in order to divide Palestinians. The 'collaborators' were Bosnians, not Palestinians.

[NUFCblog.org @NUFCblogs]

@Andrew33080654 @georgedmadgwick Many Palestinians died fighting with the allies in WW2, why shouldn't they have a poppy too?

[NUFCblog.org @NUFCblogs]

@Jan51478528 My Grandfather served in WW1, and my Father served in WW2 as well, but they fought in British uniforms, not a German one like your 'Great Grandfather' 🤣

@s2funcensored Diversion, it's always the same. When BLM was a thing, the conversion was rapidly diverted from Black people being killed by cops and on to the etiquette of 'taking the knee', and other drivel. Take the conversation away from concrete reality and into the abstract.

@joann_poll46346 @Phatymarh44 Why should she have to explain something you've just made up which obviously isn't true?

@ben_kew 'Then send the entire regime apparatus off to meet its thousand virgins.'

Epstein Island no longer exists, Trump and his friends will have to go elsewhere for their 1000 virgins.
