@Nigel_Farage Astute way for correspondent to conform to legal prohibition of giving identifying details of suspect while saying that there is no indication he is muslim.

[anthony slessor @anthonyslessor]

@Nigel_Farage Correspondent at scene made the point that social media has reported a man with muslim-sounding name was being sought. Police now have their under-age suspect in custody and it is not the man with the muslim-sounding name. Farage willingly hoodwinked; grist to his mill.

Brilliance at work.

@Aiannucci Farage is clearly educated and intelligent - but that means he has no excuses. I have watched interviews and panel shows when he openly lies. These are not mistakes; they are deliberate: "A half-truth is a whole lie". He picks a part-reality upon which he hangs a web of lies.

@JMPSimor They're all chums now but if they all were to get into power simultaneously, we'd find ourselves back on the Marne, or thereabouts...

@JMPSimor and did those strikes affect travellers crossing open borders within the EU?

https://t.co/Jzi5IjLCDC Baruch Goldstein's grave is a place of pilgrimage because he shot and killed 29 muslims at prayer in a mosque in Hebron in 1994. Similar barbarity was perpetrated by both sides in Ireland. Reading this begins to explain the inexpilcable.

“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command” is an overused quote from 1984, but passing an act that proclaims Rwanda safe, writing a new reality into law, does seem to require it

[anthony slessor @anthonyslessor]

@JMPSimor Well done that young police officer. Reminds me of the tolerance and patience of young soldiers - often teenagers - dealing with older bigoted bastards on both sides of the Northern Irish divide.

Delighted Belgian authorities shut down Fascist conference (calling itself something about Conservatism). Farage, Braverman, Orban et al booted out into the street. Should have done that to Hitler 100 yrs ago. Pray someone does same to Trump and his Brownshirts.

@JMPSimor Nietzsche's well-worn reminder: Those who would hunt monsters should take care not to, themselves, become monsters.

@JMBARRETTRobert @JMPSimor Apparently this is about me! I'm flattered, old thing. God forbid one should ever be so entrenched as to not inspire debate!

@andreajenkyns Your appointment to the second chamber was an example of the very worst cronyism which makes our parliamentary democracy a joke, devalues our honours system, and offers succour to republicanism - the last being the only reason to applaud your elevation.

@Jacob_Rees_Mogg Not as cold and poor as your children will be when we pass the tipping point.

[anthony slessor @anthonyslessor]

@JMPSimor @RishiSunak Perhaps it is now time to write down our constitution. We live in an era when dangerous clowns like Truss and Farage can't steer our lives into perilous, tumultuous waters without any democratic mandate to do so.
