Facebook memories just threw up a tweet from 17 years ago about my dad's (RIP) excellent pink grapfruit and rhubarb jam. Are there any other leftfield fruit combos that work for jam?

Essential thread. I guess we already knew that America was no longer a sound ally, but this thread lays out the practical ways that is happening on the ground.

The policy document outlines a belief the European states are risking their existence as a civilised society.
What that means is too many immigrants, changing racial profiles and fewer whites not practising Christianity. It’s that

Not a fan of the current Minister, but this list is a damning indictment of the DoJ, and it is symptomatic of long term serial neglect and deliberate starvation of resources. It is not the current Government's fault.
Here is a list of reasons why some of my hearings and trials this year have been delayed and kicked off into the long grass, stuck in our record court backlog. Serious allegations which will now be tried *years* after the event. 🧵👇
