If Clarkson thinks people should write to say thank you for benefits I think the rich should also write to apologise for using tax avoidance to a specific Dr Nurse Teacher or Care worker explaining what they will do with the money and why they don’t care about a healthy well funded country.

A new UN report accuses Israel of genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes, and deliberately targeting Palestinian children in Gaza. Surgeon Dr. Nizam Mamode, recently back from Gaza, told @BBCNews many of his patients were children. x.com/RamAbdu/stat...

Of course he won’t, stupid!!! How could a UK PM hold a public enquiry without implicating king Chuck’s brother? Sheesh, whoever thought this was a story should revisit Journalism 101! I completely support a formal police investigation into Epstein but that ain’t happening until we’re a republic!

UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham is to meet Epstein survivors and may hold a full public enquiry into Epstein.

I'm delighted to hear that BP doubled their profits, making £4.2bn in just 3 months. Not that I have any vested interest in it, other than the £50,000 given to us by the wife of former senior BP executive James Hay.

Jeremy Clarkson has said that benefits claimants should be forced to write a letter to a taxpayer every week, thanking them for all their hard work that allows us to receive the money we need, so I did. Unfortunately I don't think the entire text will fit in alt text, but this is an email to my dad.

This is an excellent proposal I don't necessarily agree with all of it but in the main it opens up the Gov to transparency and accountability It's also important that political donations and lobbying rules are tightened PR is an improvement A lot depends on the model that's chosen

Perfect response to an entitled tawt who thought he was being a smart harse when he boasted about buying agricultural land as a tax dodge. Stuart likely contributes much more positively to society than Clarkson does or would ever aspire to!

Brilliant letter from Stuart Thompson to Jeremy Clarkson about his comments that benefit claimants should write weekly thank you letters to tax payers detailing how they spend their benefits each week.

And btw when farmers were blocking Westminster roads in their agricultural vehicles bet they were using red diesel so in breach taxation regs as not for agricultural purpose as opposed to making political gestures.

BBC Scotland is running a propaganda campaign pushing the idea that Scotland's cities - in particular Glasgow - need English style elected mayors. This is despite the Labour policy being comprehensively rejected in the Holyrood election. The colonial propaganda started in June.👇

I mean this in all seriousness, this is a severely mentally ill & delusional person who not only should be removed from office under the 25th amendment, but he should be in a psych ward. This is pure insanity on so many levels. He lives in a fantasy world. He is unwell & has lost touch with reality.

Funny how soon after UK school playing field were sold off youth leaders were sacked youth clubs closed free council leisure centres became profit making sports centres all supported by the mass media newspapers were suddenly full of stories complaining about a rise in drug & knife gangs ...

A proposal for a data centre next to Forth Valley Hospital - the main medical facility for that area of Central Scotland. Who’ll have priority over water & power? The proposal hints at >1.3K “long term jobs” paying £56-59K when in reality 200 is a high number! 🤔🤬 news.stv.tv/east-central...
