Indeed .
How dare we support any organisation dedicated for example to saving the lives of desperate migrants at their wits end ,who have the temerity to risk everything in the almost vain hope of being welcomed in what they perceive as a more advanced ,tolerant 😂society

@RichardJMurphy Don’t forget the RNLI. Rescuing those in peril on the seas goes against British values too.

[Richard Murphy @RichardJMurphy]

Rishi Sunak spoke yesterday of the need for the government, police and others to stand up against those who oppose British values. But, just what are those values? Based upon careful consideration of his governments, comments, conduct and legislation, it would seem that they include:

· Racism
· Discrimination, of all sorts
· A tolerance of :
o Misogyny
o Increasing inequality
o Climate change denial
o Wealth built upon slavery and colonial exploitation
o English nationalism to the exclusion of the Welsh, Scottish and people of Northern Ireland
o Economic exploitation
o Corruption
o Genocide
o Tax havens
o Hunting with dogs
· Undermining of the rule of law
· Vilification of public servants
· Vote rigging and gerrymandering
· A refusal to honour legal obligations
· A dislike of:
o Those who work for a living
o Social housing
o The young
o Those on low incomes
o Those with disabilities
o Single parents
o Any type of non-heterosexual orientation
· Intolerance of
o The SNP
o Plaid Cymru
o The Green Party
o Scotland
o Wales
o Northern Ireland
o Ireland
o The EU and all its members states
o State schools
o Libraries
o Theatre
o The arts
o The NHS
o Anyone claiming a benefit, including the state pension unless they also have a significant private pension as well, when doing so is just fine
· Those who are members of:
o The National Trust
o RSPB
o Oxfam
o XR
o A Wildlife Trust
o Any faith but Christianity and Judaism, but with an honourable pass being given for Hindus right now

In contrast, it would seem that supporting the following are all clear indications of holding an opinion contrary to British values:

· Free and fair elections
· Proportional representation
· An end to discrimination in the right to vote
· An end to discrimination, full stop
· Respect for human rights
· Respect for the rule of law
· Justice
· A right to economic and social equality
· Free speech
· The right to protest
· Action to tackle climate change
· Support for the Green New Deal
· Religious tolerance
· Social tolerance
· National self-determination
· The right to have enough to eat
· The right to a roof over your head
· Speed limits
· Peace

Every person fleeing conflict deserves safety, compassion, and a chance for a better life.

Offering them hope and compassion in their journey is all what they need from us.

Experienced my wife recently die after a dreadful end of life experience so couldn’t agree more .
Watching helplessly as someone you have loved for most of your life inevitably deteriorates gradually losing all essential human functions is a heart rending experience.

'If every party would put this in their manifesto.. then hopefully the rest of us would have a choice about the way we want to end our lives'

Dame Esther Rantzen told #BBCBreakfast there should be a free vote for MPs on assisted dying

Not a ManU fan but this despite what the ex footballer commentators said live was a clear penalty
No attempt at all was made to contact the ball it was all about blocking Redford and knocking him off balance.
We pay to see skill not “ professional” obstruction.

67% of the women in our refuges are mums. This Mother’s Day, donate a parcel to help a mother and her child feel safe and supported.

How incredible is this?

“The famous Italian diver Enzo Maiorca dove into the sea of ​​Syracuse and was talking to his daughter Rossana who was aboard the boat. Ready to go in, he felt something slightly hit his back.

He turned and saw a dolphin. Then he realized that the dolphin did not want to play but to express something. The animal dove and Enzo followed.

At a depth of about 12 meters, trapped in an abandoned net, there was another dolphin. Enzo quickly asked his daughter to grab the diving knives.

Soon, the two of them managed to free the dolphin, which, at the end of the ordeal, emerged, issued an "almost human cry" (describes Enzo). (A dolphin can stay under water for up to 10 minutes, then it drowns.)

The released dolphin was helped to the surface by Enzo, Rosana and the other dolphin. That’s when the surprise came: she was pregnant!

The male circled them, and then stopped in front of Enzo, touched his cheek (like a kiss), in a gesture of gratitude and then they both swam off.

Enzo Maiorca ended his speech by saying: “Until man learns to respect and speak to the animal world, he can never know his true role on Earth.”

A total disgrace but in the UK we have an electorate prepared to vote for a party which places tax cuts above healthcare,equality, a functioning happy community . Sheer selfishness and greed has got us to the sad state we are in today and me first voters are to blame .

[ClinOncDoc @ClinOncDoc]

As a consultant oncologist this is hugely worrying.

A 🧵.

Somehow the UK is elevating PAs (w/ 2 years basic training) to a level expected of a doctor with 5-10 far more rigorous years of training and exams.

Hope many of them move to Scotland where there is no on going dispute and they are valued for the outstanding work they do.

I want my tax money used to pay junior doctors properly.

I’m happy to pay the extra £17 per year to restore their pay to 2008 levels.

Now do your f’ing job Sunak and give the people what they actually want!

Discovered from my own current experience there is no real underwriting going on anymore in this sector of the market . Brokers as we used to know them have all but disappeared . I’ve not had an accident in more than 20 years but premiums quoted extortionate .

Neil stirring again . He’s laughing stock material now .

[Andrew Neil @afneil]

The UK is drifting, unhappy, losing faith in previously respected institutions (like the police), buffeted by extremists (often allowed to run amok), dismayed by decline, angry at the inability of the political class to do anything about it, despairing that the Westminster politico/media bubble pursues an agenda, issues and priorities (look at the obsession with Lee Anderson) which are not most people’s — and had enough of being lectured to by a disconnected, de haut en bas chattering class. Yet we have a Prime Minister and Leader of the Opposition incapable of speaking up for the moderate majority, who still have pride in their country and are desperate for strong leadership and guidance through the current morass — plus some hope/sign things will get better — all within the bounds of traditional British tolerance and fair play. This vacuum is dangerous.

This is just a brilliant.
Braverman has consistently sought to create division with outrageous attacks for example on Muslims and those prepared to risk their lives coming here in the dark,in freezing weather ,in boats not fit for purpose looking for a better life . Leader ? 🤣

[Sense&Sensibility @OanBrand]

I’m not a Rangers or Celtic supporter nor do I think Rodger’s has made a great restart at Celtic
However there is the male equivalent of a witch hunt here .He’s clearly under a bit of stress at the moment and I don’t think his remark was offensive at all .

[Chris McLaughlin @BBCchrismclaug]

BBC’s Jane Lewis responding to fall out from Sunday’s post match interview with Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers: "Clearly, the interview on Sunday has become a talking point. I don't believe there was any offence meant by Brendan Rodgers - and for my part, there was none taken."
