Common sense.

@LizWebsterSBF @patriotismbrit The banning of handguns was always a disproportionate reaction.

I have no objections to strong licensing requirements, but the removal of handguns has ultimately made people less safe with the shocking rise in edged weapon use.

@GigaBasedDad Can we also bring back the Mysterious Cities of Gold?

@FibroWolf @LeeHurstComic Except that state pensioners didn't pay into a pot. They paid into a ponzi scheme.

@PeterStefanovi2 Your daily reminder that these are all good things, that most people want.

@JeremyCordite Good news: Andy Burnham has the same syllable structure as kier starmer, so no need to retire the chant

“All white girls are slags. They don’t obey Allah, so they deserve to be punished. They should be raped as punishment for not obeying Allah.”
That was said to a Rotherham girl – now a doctor – by the men who raped her.
I read all 219 pages of the Rape Gang Inquiry report. A thread.

So as I understand the evidence presented - Nowak was under the drink drive limit, so by no means drunk, and there is no evidence except the claim of Digwa that he was belligerent. DIgwa's other claim of having his turban pulled off seems to have been proven a lie.

I'm not seeing evidence that any assault or abuse occurred. Can you point to it?

@NickBuckleyMBE No representation without taxation.

People should be free to vote for politicians who would give their money away.

People who are not paying in should not be free to vote for policitians to expropriate from others

@Steven_Swinford Don't threaten me with a good time

@anon_opin I've worked in arms length bodies for over 15 years, actually delivering things. The actual department has almost never actually delivered anything useful.

@dshensmith Obviously takes us for April Fools

[Owain Davies @guard42]

@AngryBootneck That's the reality of the catchment it is in. Should it be like that? No.

But we have to start from where we are, not where we'd like to start from.

The reality is that some catchments do look like this, so approaches like this are necessary

My version is broadly that the disinformation of war is swirling, and that these takes seem partisan. As a side note, I'm not particularly supportive of the intervention, but understand that the public don't (and can't) get to see the full Intel picture of any war.

Specifically, I haven't seen any footage or reports of what could be described as carpet bombing. I have seen quite a lot of what looks more like precision bombing, where a single building explodes whilst the others around stay in place.

It seems almost vanishingly unlikely that the ship was unarmed and not an ongoing threat to shipping given the regimes stated and enacted threat to seize shipping.

The school seems, on balance, far more likely to be damage from failed Iranian munitions. Other possible explanations include falling munitions after an intercept, or even an Iranian false flag designed to elicit the exact reaction you've given.

In all cases, I'm not saying it's possible that you're not right, but there is a distinct flavour of taking the line most unfavourable to the paticular administration and repeating it as though it's established fact.

@HarmonicBloom @sharrond62 Not sure which bit you disagree with? The treatment DOES sterilise them, they are confused and vulnerable, and they are children.

It's important to use accurate rather than euphemistic terms, especially where those terms directly lead to some of the confusion
