Christmas Of Course

A handsome golf professional goes back home for the holidays and clashes with a feisty local environmental officer over plans for a hotel complex which could affect a frog colony.

A GB News presenter repeatedly insists "there weren't riots" in Belfast last night... 😳

This is what GB News advertisers are aligning with 👇

@Strickland__Ben It’s like he remembered some bits, then realised as he reached in he’d not retained any of the information about the shapes and carried on anyway. 😆😆😆

Actual Nazis mobilising and rioting on the streets of Southampton today.

The moustached man in this video is Luke Jahn of the National Rebirth Party, a neo-Nazi movement led by Alek Yerbury, an infamous Adolf Hitler cosplayer.

How was I supposed to know that calling for civil unrest would cause a riot?

Farage, of course, has form. He did it after the Southport murders. He’s doing it again after the murder or Henry Nowak. He looks to divide and destroy rather than unite and build.

[Sam @SamCKx]

There's not a single person in Britain who doesn't agree that the death of Henry Nowak was a tragedy, and the way the police handled it was absolutely disgraceful.

There's only one political party, however, who want to take that family's pain and politicise it for their own benefit.

[Mr Ethical 🚩 @nw_nicholas]

Riots in Southampton as predicted. That is why I reported Farage to the police today, incitement to violence. He should be arrested immediately. #FarageRiots

Hi @RobKenyonReform, Ashton Library was already saved thanks to the Labour MP Josh Simons (you might of heard of him) and Councillors.

Being that you’ve not bothered to even sign the paperwork for being a councillor, let alone attending your first meeting, it’s no surprise you aren’t up on local issues.

[Farrukh @implausibleblog]

Adam Boulton, "The family did say that they didn't want Henry Nowak's murder to be exploited politically"

"As the front page of the I paper says, that plea has been ignored, particularly by Nigel Farage and Tommy Robinson"

[Waqas🔶️ @m0w4q45]

The Nowak family asked us for one thing: don’t let Henry’s death be weaponised to spread division and hatred. Tonight in Portswood, that plea was trampled police pelted with objects, a grieving family’s tragedy hijacked as a backdrop for disorder.

Let’s be clear about accountability. It belongs to everyone who threw a bin at an officer tonight and to every public figure who saw a dead teenager and reached for a megaphone instead of restraint. Nigel Farage and Tommy Robinson have spent days pouring fuel on this. Division isn’t an accident of their rhetoric; it’s the point of it.

Honour Henry by listening to his family. Condemn the violence. And stop letting opportunists turn grief into a recruiting tool.

[Innocent Bystander @supertolerant]

I was young in the 80s/90s in the UK.

I don’t remember my parents ever going out to eat, except when we were on holiday (in the UK).

I don’t think they ever took me to a fast food restaurant, or ordered takeaway food.

People today have no clue how working people lived.

@untypicalboro So much simmering anger in the stands - some fans who’d pinned their whole happiness and mood on something they can’t control… But yes, metrics are all positive. A better defender/midfield pivot (love Malanda but it’s not his forte) and a big, quick sniffer of a striker please.

[S h a c k @shackshackleton]

@GraemeBandeira Hope you had a good day mate. I made it, loved a stroll around London, saw some pals, thought the hot weather killed our chance to play quickly and Hull took their one opportunity. I’m back in love with watching Boro though. Voice is hoarse and heart is full.

[Nick De Marco KC @nickdemarco_]

Delighted for Middlesbrough on this result. Good luck to MFC now for the final!

[Henry Winter @henrywinter]

Southampton kicked out of Championship play-off final for spying. Correct decision, especially as it transpires they spied on three clubs in total. This is about more than a bloke standing behind a tree with an iPhone. It’s about how seriously the game should take cheating. EFL independent disciplinary commission have struck a blow for fair play, for integrity, for the need for respect between clubs, for coaches to have an expectation of privacy in training. 25% of goals scored in the Championship this season were from set-pieces. Clubs practised them. Understandably, coaches don’t want their plans revealed. EFL sending a strong message with this punishment. 

Spygate 2 different from Spygate 1. Rules tightened and punishments introduced since Leeds United’s offence. Appeals, of course. It’s tough for Southampton fans to be denied the trip to Wembley and the chance of a return to the Premier League. It’s particularly tough that many have forked out for tickets, travel and accommodation. Their frustration and anger should be directed at their club. Southampton should recompense fans. It’s not the fans’ fault. 

The stupidity in all this is that Southampton would probably have beaten Boro anyway. Better team, stronger bench. But this is so damning… “Southampton admitted breaches of Regulations requiring Clubs to act with the utmost good faith and prohibiting the observation of another Club’s training session within 72 hours of a scheduled match,” says EFL. “The admitted breaches concern fixtures against Oxford United in December 2025, Ipswich Town in April 2026 and Middlesbrough in May 2026.” So the punishment is proportionate. It should act as a deterrent. Honesty matters.

Farage did say Brexit would make us richer…

We should have known that by us, he meant him

£5,000,000 richer.

[JBL @johninsouthfla]

The BBC refuse to hold scammer Farage to account. MPs are meant to declare ALL gifts over £300 in the calendar year leading up to their election.

I refuse to look away. Repost if you feel the same.
