Weird watching the right-wing columnist cohort try to collectively pull the handbrake on ethnonationalism. Like the world's biggest hotdog man convention.

British columnists love getting everything they wanted and still moaning about it

"Dad?" "Yes, son." "So you're saying that there once was a safe and effective way to protect children against devastating diseases that can cause irreparable harm and even death?" "It was called 'vaccination'." "I miss my little sister."

Two of these people around Farage were in and out of the Russian Embassy discussing Gold and Diamond deals. The third has been sentenced to over 10 years in prison for taking Kremlin Gold. How does anyone believe Nigel didn’t know?

Sucks that all the tree protesters in the 80s and 90s spent all that time chained to trees and burrowing underground when they could just have said their favourite womble was buried there.

I don’t know if this really happened. But if it did, I salute you Alan.

I see the misery on the frontline. I’m amidst it right now. Some of these asylum seekers I will see today would be grateful for that box of stuff. It’s not like that stuff is universally provided.

I am coming to the “look what asylum seekers get” debate, but the absurd outrage seems to ignore the entire concept. You may argue the system is being abused, but the entire purpose is to help people arriving having lost everything. Everything on this list is a basic necessity. /1

Does Heath really not realise that the basis for Lowe's claim is a *Telegraph* article (hyping joke "research" by Matt Goodwin?

if “tens of millions” of british people wanted a “full blown revolution” they would be protesting outside parliament. as it happens, dozens of british people are chucking bricks at asylum seekers, so i’ve come to a different conclusion about what it is these people want

I don't want to sound as though I'm criticising Tadej but because he is so dominant last year and this year's women's races have been much more exciting, just needs more stages. More excitement in the last three days than the whole of the mens tour.

Only two Tour de France Hommes stages scored higher in viewing figures than yesterday's stage in Tour de France Femmes on Dutch broadcaster NOS. www.wielerflits.nl/nieuws/meer-...

Today is 18 years since Russia invaded Georgia. The West deterred us from invading anyone else by continuing work on Norstream 1 as if nothing happened and then arranging a "reset". We understood it to mean you didnt care. We understood you correctly.

I think, as Sundar says, the message 'it's a healthy part of democracy that you are a massive racist, but don't get carried away and do a violence' is an actively harmful response to violence that is racist in motivation

This is a really inadequate Home Office statement in these circumstancds It empathises with this protest as expressing legitimate concerns, singles out violence against police, and simply fails to say "violence threatening asylum seekers, migrants & other minorities is shocking + wrong"
