Some foreigners with full bellies, and nothing better to do, engage in finger-pointing at us. China does not export revolution, it does not export famine and poverty and it does not mess around with you, so what else is there to say?

Xi Jinping
Oh.

I'm a "British citizen", I "pay my taxes", but I don't need or want a cunt like Yusuf to "stick up" for me.

This is all that's wrong with the #FPTP system:

Reform = 36%
Not Reform = 64%

So, Reform it is, then.

Same as #Brexit:

For - 27%
Not for - 73%

So, Brexit it is, then.

I have a new-found respect for politics reporter, Harry Horton, after he severely rattled Farage at today's press conference and was not deterred from putting his question despite appallingly fascist threats against #ITVNews from the cancerous racist thug.

🇷🇺 Vladimir Putin must have ordered the Novichok nerve agent attack on Russian double agent Sergei Skripal in 2018, in a "reckless" display of power that led to the death of an innocent woman, a UK public inquiry concluded on Thursday.

Thomas Mellon, patriarch of the banking dynasty, wrote to his son, James "A man may be a patriot without risking his own life or sacrificing his health."

"There are," he said, "plenty of lives less valuable."

James Mellon had escaped military service in the Civil War by paying a substitute.

Mark Harper is a stain on British politics. He's also astonishingly rude.

The British political media is concentrating on one thing at the moment, and that is the relentless rubbishing of the Labour government, sufficient that they are voted out at the next general election to be replaced by a pro-billionaire regime.
