@nut_history If my Aunty had testicles she’d be my Uncle

@historyrock_ The lyrics were based on a conversation Allen Collins had with a then girlfriend. The lyrics were not written for Duane Allman, but live the song was often dedicated to him and Berry Oakley.

@TerraOrBust I’m sure you noticed that this is based on perceptions of safety, rather than actual safety, and still shows low risk. Perhaps the first place to look is how the media report the news and how social promotes statements that are fundamentally wrong.

@TerraOrBust @andrewhesselden Talking of which, any comment on the 42% reduction ytd of small boat journeys?

[Victoria Derbyshire @vicderbyshire]

Latest data on small boat arrivals from Home Office as of 1 May, 2026

1 January 2026 to 30 April 2026 = 6,416 people

That’s 42% down on same period in 2025

@DPJHodges “There will not be only be a…”

I’m more worried about your grammar than your predictions. But perhaps you can look closer to home about being astonished over what is published. Take a stand on that occasionally

@Politax3 @haugejostein It does not have one single minimum wage, but it does have several sector specific minimums by law. Don’t be disingenous

@williamnhutton I’m struggling with this debate. I get that global pricing reduces the impact on consumers but surely it helps Govt tax revenues enormously? Otherwise that tax is going to Norway and others.

I am clear that everyone needs to reduce their footprint

[Paul Sumner @PaulSumner71]

@notayesmansecon It wasn’t really. The base case was increased capacity. The speed was a nice to have.

[Paul Sumner @PaulSumner71]

@TerraOrBust So very similar to Johnson et al losing their WhatsApp’s?

[Paul Sumner @PaulSumner71]

@TerraOrBust @WilfredFrost @SkyNews Not the same thing, as well you know. Or are you claiming an FTA is free trade? Because if you are I will finally unfollow you.

[Paul Sumner @PaulSumner71]

@GaryNTrader @DanNeidle That’s genuinely hilarious. Presumably he will add a couple of million to his claim for emotional distress and demand to be recognised at the best Tax Barrister in the universe, rather merely just the world

[Paul Sumner @PaulSumner71]

@crockpics Crazy On You is the only sensible answer

[Paul Sumner @PaulSumner71]

@crockpics Bruce Dickinson was an international class fencer (as well as jet pilot and best selling author)

@Frances_Coppola The evil little man was asked about years later and he laughed. Laughed and said it was a mistake.

Slippery indeed

[Paul Sumner @PaulSumner71]

@Frances_Coppola Minford was at Manchester Uni in the late 70s. His nickname was Slippery because he didn’t pit his work up for peer review.

He also advised Thatcher on the consequences of shutting down the mines. Said it wouldn’t increase unemployment as they would move for work

[Paul Sumner @PaulSumner71]

@TerraOrBust @DCBMEP Countervailing duties address state subsidies, so there is a pretty basic mistake as that is not what is being alleged. Terminology matters when trying to sound clever.

[Paul Sumner @PaulSumner71]

@DPJHodges Dan, you’re normally a lot better than this. Maccabi fans have a deserved reputation. Sensible people reviewed the specific issue and said no thanks. Surely you should be supporting measure to ensure the safety of the general public? Ot do you defend the chants they sing?
