This is a photo from the 1976 European Cup. Liverpool v Barcelona. Pictured are the legends Emlyn. Hughes and Johann Cruyff. I had no idea that Trigger was a top ref before his time in Only Fools and Horses.

The only thing I take seriously in the newspapers nowadays is Fish and Chips. And even that I take with a pinch of salt

@SuellaBraverman Why would the government intervene when it is complicit in this people trafficking?

An absolute disaster for Gosport, Fareham and Waterlooville. The government must intervene and stop this happening now.

I keep getting Muslims in my replies trying to convert me, so let me save everybody some time. I am a Christian. I believe in Jesus Christ, and Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior. He is not merely a prophet, not one messenger among many, and not someone whose identity needs to be reinterpreted for me through Islamic theology. Jesus said, “I am THE way, THE truth, and THE life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” Moses never said that, David never said that, and Adam never said that. Christianity does not place Jesus in a lineup of prophets and call it a day. Islam may teach that about Him, but I REJECT that teaching. And please stop assuming that if you explain Islam to me one more time, some light bulb is suddenly going to turn on. I studied Islam at the university level for years. I know what Islam teaches about Jesus and Muhammad, and I know its history, theology and traditional jurisprudence. I have heard the arguments, read the texts and considered the claims. I REJECT IT. I reject religious and legal traditions that have historically permitted polygyny, treated men and women differently in marriage and family law, and allowed interpretations of marriage involving girls at ages I consider morally indefensible. I reject the control and subordination of women wherever religion is used to justify it. And before somebody shows up with another lecture about how peaceful everything associated with Islam is, save it. The world has watched Islamist extremist movements recruit young men with promises of martyrdom and paradise, murder civilians in the name of religion, persecute minorities and impose theology through violence. We have heard Islamist movements and regimes embrace chants of “Death to America.” That does not mean every Muslim supports terrorism, child marriage, oppression of women or religious violence, but acknowledging that does not require me to sanitize doctrines, historical practices, governments or extremist movements that I find abhorrent. Most importantly, none of this is an invitation to debate my salvation. You are free to believe Muhammad was a prophet. I do not. You are free to follow Islam. I will not. You are free to believe Jesus was merely a prophet. I believe He is the Son of God, God made flesh, crucified and risen, and my Lord and Savior. So to everyone who keeps showing up under my posts trying to convert me, I have heard you, I understand what you believe, and my answer is still NO, and it will remain NO. I belong to Jesus Christ, and I REJECT Islam. You are all barking up the wrong tree. At this point, go find another tree.

If Labour MPs believe the state pension is sufficient to live on, why not reduce their salaries from £98,600 to £12,500 per year with the promise that it will increase every year by inflation or 2.5%? Let's see how much they really like the double-lock.

We used to pay taxes for safe communities, libraries, community leisure and sports facilities, fit for purpose schools and hospitals, quick diagnosis and treatments within the NHS, unblocked road drains, clean road signs, emergency services arriving on time, roads without potholes and drains and rivers that were regularly cleared to prevent flooding. Now we pay higher taxes yet all of the above are diminishing - yet our tax money is being spent on endless wars, MPs expenses, politicians and royalty flying around the world on private jets, whilst telling us plebs to reduce our carbon footprints, dodgy contracts given to government cronies and endless forms of digital ID and surveillance. We are being fleeced by our own governments to be on the receiving end of diminished public services and infrastructures but at the same time, the super-rich are benefiting from the biggest transfer of wealth in history. The social contract is now an absolute piss-take.

Statement by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the state of Israel in regards to UK Green Party Annual Conference Today, the Green Party in Britain ceased to act as a political party and became a body that gives legitimacy to terrorism. The Greens have adopted not only the green of Hamas, but also its ideology: the elimination of the State of Israel through armed struggle. The shocking resolution adopted today legitimises armed struggle, calls for a Palestinian state “from the river to the sea” - meaning the destruction of the State of Israel - and labels as “racist” the aspiration of the Jewish people for self-determination. This goes far beyond the boundaries of legitimate political debate. As long as this resolution remains in place, it will stand as a stain on the history of the United Kingdom. Every political party in Britain, first and foremost the governing Labour Party, must unequivocally reject this twisted resolution.

So, it's okay for a cat to run away and hide under the bed when visitors come, but, when I do it, it's "rude" and "antisocial."

A Turkish migrant AVOIDED jail after stabbing a man with a broken bottle in Bournemouth. Halil Dal - who required a taxpayer-funded translator during his trial - received a suspended sentence. Meanwhile, Danny Tommo is inside for puncturing a dinghy. 🇬🇧

How can you bail 5 foreign inspired terrorists, who were prowling a billion dollar military base, and deny bail to a Brit who slashed a £500 dinghy, bringing illegal immigrants in? And why are you keeping him in a cell for months, when he hasn’t been convicted…..yet you are releasing already convicted criminals instead? #TwoTierJustice #DannyTommo #PoliticalPrisoner

Here are two career politicians who have never built a business that had to survive on its own. Their entire adult lives have been spent inside politics - drawing salaries, climbing political ladders, and spending other people’s money - without ever running a business, making a payroll, or answering to a customer who could simply walk away.

🚨 HERE IS WHAT LABOUR DID TO GREAT BRITAIN IN JUST ONE SINGLE WEEK Take a look at the trail of absolute destruction Andy Burnham and his ministers inflicted on this country over the last seven days. *Freed 700 convicted criminals onto British streets early, including violent domestic abusers and foreign offenders released into local communities on immigration bail. *Andy Burnham confirmed on television that he could campaign to drag Britain back into the European Union, after his own aides admitted he ad libbed one third of his conference speech. *Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy backed plans to force every household to pay a compulsory BBC levy on broadband and council tax bills, even if you do not own a television set. *Financial Secretary James Murray imploded on live radio, unable to answer four times in a row how much his own Treasury energy policy will cost the taxpayer. *Nature Minister Jenny Riddell Carpenter branded traditional British pubs, pints of ale, and pet black labradors a dangerous far right fantasy that never existed. *Official figures revealed Shabana Mahmood is rubber stamping 1,100 permanent settlement applications every single working day, adding 200,000 people to welfare access in a single year. Labour ministers do not have a clue how to run a sovereign nation. They only know how to raise your taxes, police your online speech, empty the prisons, and surrender British borders to the rest of the world. Retweet this immediately to make sure every voter in Britain sees the absolute carnage Labour caused in just seven days.
