Have you ever known a time when the country was in a greater mess? It is a farce! We are like a banana republic - without the bananas.

[Guy Grumbridge @GuyGrum]

And why am I allowed to say “a person of colour” but not “a coloured person”?

[Not The Girl In The Photo @SonofManwithus]

Please excuse my ignorance but....

Why can't a white, Asian, Hispanic person say n'gga to a black person when black people use the word all the time with each other?

[Guy Grumbridge @GuyGrum]

@Little_G2 So beautiful; so you.

[Guy Grumbridge @GuyGrum]

@Little_G2 Or, Christine McVie/Fleetwood Mac, « Songbird ».

[Guy Grumbridge @GuyGrum]

A bit sentimental perhaps, but Orbison’s voice makes you gasp.
Maybe I’m a bit of an old romantic.

[JustG @Little_G2]

@GuyGrum Don’t think I know that ?

[Guy Grumbridge @GuyGrum]

@Little_G2 And, don’t forget, « She’s out of my life » Michael Jackson. So, so heartfelt.

[Guy Grumbridge @GuyGrum]

@Little_G2 Before MJ got his cut and paste face.

@Little_G2 Leah by Roy Orbison?

[Guy Grumbridge @GuyGrum]

@Little_G2 Lovely big mussels!

[Guy Grumbridge @GuyGrum]

Please can we see a superimposed graph of gross (not nett) immigration for this same period.
Perhaps, then, our politicians might take some action.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

And this number is greatly underreported. Actual numbers are much worse.

@Little_G2 Mine is three weeks behind yours; still
in bud.

[Guy Grumbridge @GuyGrum]

@Little_G2 And please will you tow it 1000 miles south? Perhaps leave it alongside Portugal.
Many thanks.

[Guy Grumbridge @GuyGrum]

Promises, promises, G.

[JustG @Little_G2]

@GuyGrum It’s a lovely time of year isn’t it ?

[Guy Grumbridge @GuyGrum]

I bet Kier Starmer is glad he doesn’t work after 5pm on a Friday. A chance to relax perhaps.

[Guy Grumbridge @GuyGrum]

@Little_G2 And, it will be Spring soon - more lovely surprises on their way.

It was only the British who used the term “special relationship”, not the Americans. Once again British hubris trumping reality. We must stop this self-harm of assuming we have a divine right to anything.

[Vice-Admiral Viscount Nelson @GreaterBritann1]

@SuellaBraverman There was never a special relationship it was just a nice phrase to refer to Britain as an American vassal state.

[A View From Yorkshire @models_by_Russ]

We don’t own Britain anymore.
We just live in it… and pay rent to everyone else.

We sold the cars — German, Chinese, Indian owned.
We sold the trains — now run by foreign state companies while ours rot.
We sold the steel, the ports, the airports, the ferries, the energy, the utilities.
We even sold the bloody future — ARM, gone.

We used to make things.
Now we make excuses.

Other nations protect their industries like crown jewels.
Britain sold the family silver, the cutlery, the cabinet it was stored in — then proudly announced how “efficient” it all was.

Energy bills through the roof?
Foreign-owned.
Trains late and expensive?
Foreign-owned.
Ports, water, airports, infrastructure?
Foreign-owned.

And the punchline?
The same politicians who signed it all away now lecture you about patriotism, sacrifice, and belt-tightening… while renting the country back at premium prices.

This wasn’t globalisation.
It was liquidation.

A slow-motion fire sale of a nation built by generations who fought, worked, and bled for something they believed would be passed on — not flogged off to balance a spreadsheet.

No wonder we don’t have pride — we don’t own it.
