@JohnCleese Why are you reacting to this nonsense. When you do you are part of the problem.

@dcsandbrook is this the book that you referenced during your @TheRestHistory series on Trafalgar

@henrywinter Just a shame Henry that Newcastle had to sell him to comply with PSR rules that encourage teams to sell home grown talent.

@hughlaurie @MrHarryCole @jan_murray I thought it was brilliant and have watched it many times over. From George the inept in Blackadder to House the brilliant,to Rupert the nasty. What an actor.

@Xmusknewsx I think Donald Trump is lying. Who would have thought.......

@OllieHolt22 I think this relates to one club. I was delighted that Palace, Villa, Spurs and West Ham won.

I think this stems from the attitude and behaviour of the Arsenal management and players. Not a very likeable bunch. And when you don't like something it is hard to support it

[Paul marsh @PjmMarsh]

@EricLDaugh You need to do some research about this before you make statements that are untrue

[Paul marsh @PjmMarsh]

@ThatSalopian @JohnCleese This is about one charge. They have already been convictions for assault of the women officers. This charge relates to the male officer. The defence is that you can use self defence against an officer who uses excessive force. Did he use excessive force?

[Paul marsh @PjmMarsh]

@JohnCleese No we are regulated and are sanctioned if we say anything misleading. Unlike comedians

[Paul marsh @PjmMarsh]

@JohnCleese I think you should do some research about this case and why the jury has not reached a decision. It is not as straightforward as some think.

[Paul marsh @PjmMarsh]

@JuliaHB1 @JohnCleese It is disappointing that a journalist has not familiarised herself with the facts of this case before making a comment. Had she done so she wouldn't have made a fool of herself.

[Paul marsh @PjmMarsh]

@RepJackKimble We don't have the 1st Amendment here. And btw you don't seem to have it in the States looking at the way Trump is trying to coerce the media

What we do have is a law that protects society from people who would encourage hate and violence.

Hope that clears matters up

@_Qstormrider Cuts through the BS. He is the ultimate creator of BS.

@Acyn There are different ways of expressing it. You can say imbecile or moron. It doesn't make any difference.

@atrupar Should this man be in charge of something as important as the health of a significant proportion of the population of the entire planet?

Just read it.

Spot On -

An Aussie reply to Trump’s rant about ‘NATO not being there for us’:

“Mate. You run a country with 600,000 homeless people sleeping on the street tonight. A country where 40% of adults can't cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money. A country where insulin costs more than a car payment and people are rationing it to survive. A country where medical debt is the number 1 cause of bankruptcy. A country where women are dying in hospital car parks because doctors are too scared of abortion laws to treat a miscarriage.

You lock up more of your own citizens than any nation on earth. More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea. The land of the free has 2 million people in cages, and a quarter of them haven't even been convicted of anything. They're just too poor to make bail.

Your life expectancy is going backwards. You're the only developed nation where that's happening. Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba's. Your kids do active shooter drills between maths and English while you sell the gunmaker's stock to your mates.

Your minimum wage hasn't moved in 15 years. You've got teachers working 2 jobs and veterans sleeping under bridges and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that didn't attack you.

And you’ve got a convicted felon, adjudicating raping, paedophile protecting, porn star shagging insurrectionist running the biggest dumpster fire war campaign since the Taliban thanked you very much for losing again.

And you're calling Greenland poorly run?

Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world. Nobody goes bankrupt there because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because their insurance said no.

"NATO wasn't there when we needed them." When exactly was that, champ? September 11? Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU. Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU. Australia wasn't even in NATO and we still showed up. For 20 years.

And you pulled out at 2am without telling anyone and left them to deal with the mess.

So maybe before you start calling other countries poorly run, have a look at your own backyard, you spray-tanned aluminium siding salesman. The only thing poorly run in this picture is your fucking mouth.”

Much has been made recently of the UK appearing 51st compared to UK States in GDP, in a report.

And so, in counter, this: If the UK were a State of the USA ...
