@SpikeQuireboys Oh yes. A classic. Also saw them live at the Maid of Stone festival in July last year. Superb.

On a train from London to Manchester an American was lecturing the Englishman sitting across from him in the compartment.

"The trouble with you English is that you’re too stuffy. You set yourselves apart too much. You think your stiff upper lip makes you above the rest of us. Look at me... I'm me! I have a little Italian in me, a bit of Greek, a little Irish and some Spanish blood. What do you say to that?"

The Englishman lowered his newspaper, looked over his glasses and replied, "How very sporting of your mother.”

Middlesbrough beat Man City 8-1 in 2008. Or does the pre-Saudi era not count? 🤔 #utb #mcfc

@ThrillaRilla369 I realized that 15 years ago when my mom died! She truly was the glue that held our entire family together. Once she passed, the family dinners and holidays together ended.

Now this is what a genuine guy giving a real heartfelt interview looks like.
Up the Adi ❤️

@TRobinsonNewEra btw ...

[Teesboys 🦁 @teesboys]

@TRobinsonNewEra The Union Jack and St George’s Cross don’t belong to hate, as much as you may try to make them. They’re part of a shared heritage that’s richer than division – symbols of a diverse, evolving England where all communities and immigrants contribute to our national pride.

How many of the Brits moving to Dubai speak Arabic, do you reckon?

[Mike Chapman @mike_chapman]

@BigBearF1 That is beyond terrible, tortured even, and f...g hilarious. Nice one.

Well done Nigel Farage, Rupert Lowe, Robert Jenrick, Richard Tice, Lee Anderson, Ben Habib, Tommy Robinson, Laurence Fox, Carl Benjamin, Isabel Oakeshott, Douglas Murray, Allison Pearson, Douglas Carswell, Dan Wootton, Elon Musk, Matt Goodwin, Suella Braverman, Calvin Robinson, Rob Bates, Jonathan Harmsworth, Paul Marshall, Rupert Murdoch, Tom Hunt, Paul Golding, Konstantin Kisin, Patrick Christy, Martin Daubney, Jordan Peterson, Andrew Tate, James Melville, Katharine Birbalsingh, Claire Fox, Kelvin MacKenzie, Mike Graham, Charlotte Gill, Jacob Rees-Mogg, Jeremy Vine, Alan McCormick, James Orr, Peter Thiel, Bev Turner, Iain Duncan-Smith, Ben Elliiot, Danny Kruger, Michael Shellenberger, Miriam Cates, Niall Ferguson, Philippa Stroud, Winston Marshall, Alex Phillips, Jeremy Kyle, Sarah Pochin, Arron Banks, Michael Gove, Liz Truss, Matthew Elliot, George Cottrell, Lois Perry, Nick Tenconi, Mark Littlewood, Peter Whittle, Trevor Phillips, Nick Candy, Zia Yusuf, and all the others working hard to turn England and Britain into an embarrassing, dysfunctional, unequal, unwelcoming, dangerously polarised, violent, racist shithole, where almost everyone has forgotten that divisive irresponsible scapegoating rhetoric led to WWII, and to the Holocaust.

But at least the fucking flags are out now! And the calls for 'mass deportations' of non-white people - many of whom have escaped war, persecution, or torture - along with Muslims who have chosen to make their home here, are growing louder and louder, every single day.

You're not 'saving' Britain. You're not 'defending Western civilisation'. You're not 'protecting women and children'. You're doing the exact opposite, by turning ordinary people against each other in order to protect the ultrarich against democracy and progress. And you're getting paid handsomely for it.

Well done. Mission nearly accomplished.

These are your boys.

You must be so proud.

[Mike Chapman @mike_chapman]

@JonathanPieNews I have lived in the States for three decades and learned that is the question you never ask; that way lies madness.

[John Simpson @JohnSimpsonNews]

Nearly half the British public seems to think that illegal migrants outnumber those here legally. In fact legal migration outnumbers illegal migration by at least 10 to 1.

[Claire 💙 @clairebubblepop]

I’m gonna keep saying it… and I’ll say it again. Asylum seekers can’t claim benefits. You need an NI number to do that. Asylum seekers aren’t staying in 5* hotels. Asylum seekers get £49.18p a week to live on. Could YOU live on that? NOPE. So stop pretending they’re living it large.

[Mike Chapman @mike_chapman]

@brianfulham @Socket1Sophie Hampsire. Ha. For the love of...

[Mike Chapman @mike_chapman]

@Socket1Sophie There's also Stockton. And Middlesbrough (though they contracted the spelling). I am in New York, people go to the "Berkshires", I am a subway ride away from Brighton Beach. Oh, I could go on, this is silly....

[Mike Chapman @mike_chapman]

@RichieR57698850 @JokersWildUK Exactly. Repeat those days a few million at a time, you are quids in.

[Mike Chapman @mike_chapman]

@chillestbros @stats_feed Spot on. You beat me to it. I used to play a little competitively in my youth (a long time ago) and the same question bugged the hell out of me. That was the exact answer I managed to drag out from somewhere in pre-Internet days.

@raticus76 @NoContextBrits You are a rare, and welcome, species sir! I have lived in the States 30 years, never met an American who gave it the thumbs up.
