Protests in Southampton tonight. Do NOT give the state ANY excuse to throw you in prison. Because they will use anything.
I know people are angry. I am angry. But do not throw your life away doing something you will later regret.
The police need to treat protestors fairly, and any unacceptable behaviour by any officers must be recorded and called out.
But I will say this again.
Do not get violent.
That is not how we win.
We win at the ballot box, peacefully and democratically.
We win by electing Restore Britain across our country.
It's the only way.
🚨BREAKING: Miguel Bosé, the biggest Spanish-language pop star of the last few decades, has just released a video taking a knee and putting his hand over his heart in honour of Henry Nowak
This has now spread like a wildfire. Europe has never been more UNITED! 🇪🇸🇬🇧
3-5 years for a throwing a traffic cone is wild when Hamid Safi, a Rochdale child rape gang member, only received 4 years.
This is how disposable white lives are to them.
Ethiopia was never colonized.
For much of its history, it was one of the poorest countries on the continent.
Meanwhile, Vietnam was colonized by the French, devastated by decades of war, and is now on its way to serious economic prosperity.
If colonialism were the answer to why Africa is poor, Ethiopia should be rich and Vietnam should be broke. Neither is true.
Can we please retire this excuse?
A faggot is a baked ball of pig's offal, wrapped in caul fat, baked in a tray of gravy made from the same animal, and eaten with mashed potato and peas.
The mince is liver, heart, lights (lung), kidney, breadcrumbs, onion, sage, salt, pepper. Bound with an egg. Rolled into balls the size of a small fist. Wrapped in caul, the lacy fatty membrane that lines the pig's abdomen, which melts during baking and bastes the faggot from inside its own jacket. Baked at moderate heat for forty minutes.
Faggots began as cheap country food in west Wiltshire and the West Midlands and spread to South Wales in the mid-1800s, carried by agricultural workers moving into the coal valleys. In Yorkshire and Lancashire the same dish was called a "savoury duck." The first print appearance of the word was in the Manchester Courier of June 1843, in a report about a man who had eaten twelve in a sitting. Mrs Beeton wrote down the recipe in 1861. By 1965, every working household from Wolverhampton to Walsall to Merthyr ate them once a week.
The faggot is one of the most efficient pieces of nose-to-tail eating in the British tradition. It uses the cuts of the pig nothing else uses. It costs almost nothing. Per faggot: complete protein, the full B-vitamin spectrum from the liver, iron at supplemental levels, and the dense satisfaction of a hot meal of organ meat.
Mr Brain's, founded in Bristol by Herbert Hill Brain, began industrial production in the mid-1930s and still sells the frozen version across the West Midlands. The recipe has been simplified. The traditional version, made by a butcher with a fresh pig's pluck, survives in a small number of producers and a few proud households.
Faggots were a working-class food. They became unfashionable. The unfashionability was the point at which the food started to disappear.
If your butcher still sells them, buy a half-dozen. Heat in a tray with a splash of stock. Pile on mash. Spoon the gravy over.
Eight hundred years of British peasant cooking, in a small brown ball.
Almost gone.
