Just a reminder to EVERYONE that watched this happen, in real time, and then spent the next 15 months supporting and marching for the ones that perpetrated it:
YOU are NOT the good guys.
YOU are the problem. YOU are the bad guys. YOU are the evil.
@mrgeoffpeters Exactly this Geoff. Its not as though the guy is ‘trying’ to be bad its just that, for what ever reason, any confidence he ever had is shot and we all know that as long as Mads is out we are in desperate trouble. Booing him will only make that worse
@UKCopHumour Well done that man!! The fact that the Police seem to be rapidly losing public confidence in many ways, does not detract from the fact that the ordinaryfcopper on the beat is usually doing their very best in the face of incompetent management and politicians.
@GoodwinMJ Threat to democracy?? …. Interesting perspective, when it’s a democratic process that will give him power. The real threat to democracy, if you consider a right wing populist to be such a threat, is these politicians creating the context in which he might win.
@stellacreasy Actually i do expect you to give all and sacrifice other aspects of your life to undertake the role for which you voluntarily put yourself forward for. It’s called public service for a reason. If you don’t want to do then that that’s absolutely fine, but go and do another job
Watching Americans reacting to commercial aircraft flying above them like members of an uncontacted tribe deep in the Amazon jungle is... quite amusing.
@TimesRadio@KateEMcCann@adamboultonTABB I really don’t think these people, ensconced in their little bubbles, have any idea how much anger there is…and I’m not talking amongst right wing nut jobs…. And how damaging this is to community cohension and to immigrants who come here to integrate work and contribute
Apparently Fairytale of New York by The Pogues with the wonderful Kirsty MacColl isn't well known outside of Ireland and the UK (not even in New York!)
If you're one of my international friends who doesn't know it, you're in for a treat for the next four minutes:
The Home Office has denied my request to publish data on illegal migrant crime - they claim the public doesn't want them to commission 'dozens of entirely new statistical analyses simply to answer questions in Parliament.'
Millions of British people want to know this information, and deserve to know it. Tell me - do you want to see these figures?
This is a cover up.
I have no doubt whatsoever they hold information on the crimes being committed by illegal migrants. And if they don't? That's an even bigger scandal.
We ALL must demand this data. Contact your MP, tell them the importance of knowing the truth.
I have other routes to obtain this data, and will now urgently pursue them.
