@WalkerMarcus @AndyFitchet Whichever it is, I think ‘Don’t be a knob’ sums it up rather well.
High time we reclaimed woke for what it is - awareness, empathy, respect for others and the different experiences they have to put up with.

So there’s a request not to speculate from those carrying out a proper investigation, yet @BBCNews @BBCBreakfast continue to go over and over the material on the sad murder of poor Nowak.

Enough. Let people do their job, and concentrate on broadcasting the news this morning.

@charliebelllive Madness. What are they thinking?!!!

[Derek Lancaster @DerekL03]

This. It’s time to stop the nonsense of segregated ordination, which is thoroughly unchristian. As an Anglican catholic I find it offensive. Our church ordains women, and that’s great. Get over it.

The Harry Potter analogy here is IMO entirely apt. Though I might query the account given here of apostolic succession, I strongly deplore the overall mentality involved:

At last, a calm word on this subject this week.

The perpetrators of the rapes should of course be in custody to serve their sentence, but in the right place that will reduce the chance of reoffending, not increase it.

@WhiteHouse War is peace.
Freedom is slavery.
Ignorance is strength.

@MichaelRosenYes We need fewer universities and more technical colleges - we need more electricians, plumbers, construction people etc.
Universities are for education and research, which is vital for the future and for the sheer joy of knowledge.

@OBEhizele I’d say we do - right back to our origins in AD597

[Parody Nigel Farage @Parody_PM]

Some notes on my work ethic:

-I last voted in Parliament on 18 March, so I haven’t done my job for ten weeks.
-I’ve never held any face-to-face constituency surgeries, despite apparently having £5 million to spend on security.
-I refuse to do interviews or face press scrutiny of any sort.
-when I was in the European Parliament I had the 4th worst attendance record out of 748 MEPs.
-although I did manage to turn up to vote AGAINST plans to tackle Russian misinformation.
-I was on the Fisheries Committee but I only turned up to ONE out of 42 meetings.
-but I will of course be taking my £73,000 EU pension.

Vote Reform, get lazy, grifting, self-serving sacks of shit.

Net migration has fallen 82%.

I promised to restore control to our borders. My government is delivering.

I know there’s more to do, we’re introducing a skills-based migration system that rewards contribution and ends our reliance on cheap overseas workers.

@Sanders4Health @canontonyd The last govt did it and it won’t stop because we aren’t funding enough GPs.

[Derek Lancaster @DerekL03]

@BBCNews @BBCBreakfast the reason there are lots of people in A&E is that they can’t get an appointment with their GP, and we have thousands of trained doctors unable to become GPs due to lack of funding.
That’s the problem to fix. #NHS

[Fr George Reeves @FrGeorgeReeves]

Some reflections on Catholic charismatic renewal from my recent visit to Lyon:

[Derek Lancaster @DerekL03]

@FrGeorgeReeves Looks excellent. At @onfiremission we have a very similar vision blending catholic and charismatic.

@FraserNelson There’s no debate. It’s been a miserable failure politically and economically, and didn’t make the immigration issue better but worse.

@Londonist Pic isn’t Westminster Cathedral, whose nave ceiling is more like the inside of brick railway arches as the marble cladding only goes so far

[TheBossRoss 🇪🇺 🧶 ❄ 📷 6x💉 @BettinaSRoss1]

I'm German. I grew up w/o children's rhymes, folk songs, traditions, bc they were hijacked by fascists. They used my country's culture to rally people behind them, redefined flags & symbols of home to serve their cult. Nationalists stole my heritage. Don't let them steal yours.

[Derek Lancaster @DerekL03]

@bbclaurak Who cares?
What about Farage?

Oh, and is there any actual, you know, news?

[Wealands Bell @WealandsBell]

I see that the media is colluding again in cultural colonialism. Whereas we have always 'stood' for Parliament in this realm of England, Mr Burnham is, inevitably, being reported as 'running'. Well yee-ha, yall, and have a nice day.
