Higher Education careers & employability, football (Arsenal, Southend United, Morpeth Town, Napoli - in that order), Northumberland, walking, tea shops, and a bit of politics, are my things

Found this when flicking through photos for my profile here. Seemed an appropriate image for my first post. Taken on Embleton beach, 22nd August 2022, on hottest day I’ve experienced in nearly 25 years living in Northumberland.

Weird how he has chosen to ignore the dark blue splodges on Clacton, Great Yarmouth and Grimsby.
The thing about Sam Ashworth-Hayes is he thinks it's fine and good for kids to go hungry and live in poverty provided they're brown.

Farage's protégés, colleagues & close friends.
Not sure shouting "Bernard Manning" like a closing time drunk will help much here.

Here I am with Reform councillor Andrew Harrison, who was one of a group of people fined over £1m for employing illegal workers. Like all good patriots, he hates immigrants, apart from the ones he can exploit for profit.

Nearly £300,000 spent on trying to prevent people seeking safety from having accommodation. That's money which could have been used to help homeless individuals or support the community. You know, things those protesting hotels complain don't get funded because of them.

No Reform representative on the Laura Kuenssberg show for two weeks running - that's a record! It's almost as though we didn't want to talk about the 28 witnesses to my teenage racism and antisemic abuse.

My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’
This is so disgusting.

The radio silence about Farage from people who are usually supremely vocal about antisemitism is so so telling.

Imagine the reaction to allegations that Corbyn had made hissing gas noises to Jewish kids as a schoolboy - and then if he had responded to those allegations by shouting 'Bernard Manning!' at the journalists
