This is the City Barge pub in Chiswick right now. What do you notice? It’s 3pm and they’re open. It’s a sunny day. Yes, that’s right; they have had to remove all of the tables and chairs outside. They have had to destroy their own business. Why? Because Rick Rowe, a Green Party councillor on Hounslow council, who lives very, very, very close to this pub and complains about it almost daily, has banned all three pubs here on strand on the Green Chiswick, from having outside tables. I can only assume he hates pubs, hates business and hates the British way of life. This would usually be buzzing with people enjoying their afternoon. However, they’re the wrong sort of people for Rick.

I am having a drink this evening with a friend in a Chiswick pub. Two policemen have just come into the pub and asked me to step outside. I have stepped outside and they have threatened me because I tweeted about a councillor banning seating outside pubs in Chiswick. They admit on video (watch it!) that I did not break the law at all. They came to threaten me. To warn me off tweeting about councillors and the council. This is modern Britain. This is the police state. Please, please, please watch this video. It does involve me using very bad language, but this has got to be seen. Police coming out to threaten someone who hasn’t committed a crime. I’m fuming.

The most outrageous shot ever played in pool history.

Shot of the century imo.

After the Golders Green Jew stabbings, BBC radio invited me on to discuss the alarming levels of Jew hatred in the UK. As usual, they muted my mic near the end. As usual, I recorded it myself and restored the sound. Here’s what they tried to silence as soon as I mentioned the Green party…

I was skeptical, but now I’m completely convinced. Fencing will become super popular due to this one very particular improvement to the sport.

“Sword tip visualization” It’s going to debut at the summer olympics.

Since 1770 the village of Hallaton has had an annual Easter Monday battle with locals from the neighbouring village of Medbourne. The day starts with Hare Pie-Scrambling where pieces of pie are blessed and thrown into the crowd, followed by a sport with few rules; Bottle-Kicking.

When his wheel fell off, a different pit team saved him. They're opponents, not enemies.

@ClarksonsFarm1 It’s a blast

The greatest golf shot of all time

When every opponent is called a Nazi, history is cheapened, debate is destroyed, and lives are put at risk. Abusing the word Nazi doesn’t only insult history, it poisons politics, fuels hatred, and costs lives. @GMB

@jammach @Glinner Really sorry for your loss, Gavin; and for the horrible treatment you’ve had to endure.

@RevRichardColes @TheSimonEvans I’m sure psychopomp is a Bristol gin distillery. Thank you for giving context!
