Neil Coyle MP has written a brutal takedown letter to Nigel Farage for his breach of parliamentary protocol, because Farage visited Coyle's London constituency without notifying him. 10/10 no notes.

According to witnesses, this is the masked ICE agent who shot the driver in Minneapolis. He shot from the side into the vehicle.

This is him walking away from the crashed vehicle.

Grateful for the opportunity to meet with Deputy Australian High Commissioner Elisabeth Bowes to share my condolences following the horrific antisemitic terror attack in Sydney.

London stands with Australia and with Jewish communities everywhere against hatred and violence.

OK, strap in….

Here is part 2 of the “Tesco/(insert other brand) are cancelling Christmas” claims!

🎄🎅🤶🎄

TL:DR? Christmas is alive and well everywhere you look.

And so too, sadly, is manufactured Christmas rage baiting.

Here is just 7 day’s worth of Daily Mail Christmas Rage bait

Scam alert: Someone is pretending to be me and reaching out to authors. The pitch contains enough specific details that it sounds plausible at first.

This is not me! I'm so sorry to anyone who has fallen for this.

Doesn’t this rhetoric sound familiar?

In 1947, the U.S. Army released "Don't Be a Sucker" to show how a nation can be divided, reminding Americans that prejudice isn't natural and is created by those who gain from it.

Watched BBC 6 o clock news. Just a completely unserious broadcast. Chris Mason, acting like a children's entertainer, giving a prolonged impenetrable editorial. Not a whiff of informative content about the Budget or what it means for the country. Just playschool blah blah bollocks.

Wow - this guy must be really, REALLY bad with money if an extra £208 per month will “ruin” his retirement.

Let’s take a look at his situation based on what he told the @Telegraph

Because this does NOT add up!

No, this is not a “poor pensioner” scrabbling around for pennies…

The UK is losing up to £250m a day in lost tax revenue due to the economic impact of Brexit, House of Commons Library analysis for the Lib Dems suggests.

Brexit has blown a "black hole of [up to] £90 billion a year in the public finances" the party says. Even under lower estimates the hit is ~£65bn

When the main news story on BBC NEWS is the BBC. you know there’s a problem. For far too long it’s been bent by political appointments and that has to stop now. We need our national broadcaster to be independent and apolitical. Managerial appointments must be free from politics or else it’s dead.

SUPERB and angrily unvarnished response, by former BBC chairman, Lord Patten.

"I don't think that we should allow ourselves to be bullied into thinking that the BBC is only any good, if it reflects the prejudice of the last person who shouted at it." ~AA

Charles Corrigan is accused of Murdering someone outside a train station in August this year.

Does anyone remember that happening?

No because the Media and the trolls on Social Media completely ignore crimes unless they can use them for their own racist agenda.

“It was reported in good faith to officers responding to the incident that he was involved in the attack”

Really? Sounds like they thought the guy was guilty for Travelling Whilst Black.
