@jjdaz03 @RealKhrestinin @RadioGenoa So after some research I found that one church in Stoke on Trent which has been not used for religious purposes since 1980s will not become a mosque and another in Bradford which has successfully been converted. It is not the church in your picture https://t.co/zRs4somqVo

@jjdaz03 @RealKhrestinin @RadioGenoa Why do you not quote sources? You are aware that the internet isn’t always accurate? Next you’ll be telling me that we’re not allowed to celebrate Christmas - there are always incorrect posts about that too.

@jjdaz03 @RealKhrestinin @RadioGenoa Nigel Farage is generally considered a joke politician in the UK but thanks

[James Smith @jamessmith75]

@therabbithole Is there a comparison with elsewhere? Previous years? Was there an upturn in birth rates immediately after Covid and so therefore a decline the following year. Provides interesting questions though. Loving all the thoughtful comments too

[James Smith @jamessmith75]

@ALR084 @RealKhrestinin @RadioGenoa 😂😂 of course there is but I don’t think you ever changed anybody’s mind by insulting them. If you read further down somebody hopes I die because I produce a short argument with stats against guns 😂😂

[James Smith @jamessmith75]

@ALR084 @RealKhrestinin @RadioGenoa I actually don’t think we should insult each other and that’s why apologised.

[James Smith @jamessmith75]

@RealKhrestinin @JamesV332092 @RadioGenoa That is true. I don’t think I said I wished you dead though because you have a different view to me

[James Smith @jamessmith75]

@RealKhrestinin @RadioGenoa Yeah I guess. If having a gun = freedom then I’m ok with all the other things I have and you can keep your version of freedom.

[James Smith @jamessmith75]

@RealKhrestinin @RadioGenoa Interesting take - I’d rather my kids didn’t get shot at school but each to their own but we all make our choices. TBH I’m not saying we’ve got things close to right here but I just don’t think guns are the answer and the evidence seems to support that.

[James Smith @jamessmith75]

@RealKhrestinin @RadioGenoa Putting it in to numbers in 2019 (sorry it’s where the stats come from) the UK had 161 gun deaths the US had 37,040

[James Smith @jamessmith75]

@RealKhrestinin @RadioGenoa Where do you live? 0.23 per 100k where there is extremely tight laws - stronger than any in the US is surely better along with 0 school shootings

[James Smith @jamessmith75]

@RealKhrestinin @RadioGenoa The ‘Right to bear arms’ just leads to more deaths. The last time there was a mass school shooting in the UK was in 1996.

[James Smith @jamessmith75]

@RealKhrestinin @RadioGenoa My apologies. Many Americans seem to believe that guns solve problems. But it’s clear from the rest of the world’s experience that that simply isn’t true. The US accounts for nearly 15% of the world’s firearm deaths at 10.27 per 100k people. The UK sat at 0.23 per 100k.

[James Smith @jamessmith75]

@RealKhrestinin @RadioGenoa Yeah. So glad crime is solved in the US. You utter clown.

Nice work from a left arm spinner to start the day! @BexleyCC #ripclarky

@PhilDun16442388 @CountyChamp He averages 92 and has 2 hundreds and 5 fifties this season. Hasn’t only played on roads. Bedingham looks great - 5 hundreds and 2 fifties at 86

@Satendra_Sharma @gradecricketer @bigbasket_com If I’m honest I hope it doesn’t go any further. I quite like innovation - I attended the first domestic T20 game but this and the power surge in BBL should just be binned.

[James Smith @jamessmith75]

@Satendra_Sharma @gradecricketer @bigbasket_com It’s definitely a game of speculation and why we get to debate so much. Me stating that I could have bowled and won the game is way more than speculation 😂
