@broken_remote @cazjwheeler True, but it’s not as straightforward for gas. Only other place that gas *might* go to is Norway. Wed in effect be the only customer and it isn’t priced internationally like oil.

Apples and oranges. Citizenship of the British Empire has not and arguably has never been a thing. Interestingly - but separately - the British did something that the Romans did (inculcate a love of motherland) without even going to the bother of systemising citizenship.

That British passport you accepted is far more powerful than an MBE. Citizenship of the British empire is far more important than being given an award within it. A lot of you are hypocrites and you’re not ready for that conversation. A lot of people are hypocrites. They’ll

This is the kind of thing that was said about the Jews in the 1930s. It is not hyperbolic to say that degrading an entire culture leads us to a very dark place. Reform are playing with fire right now trying to stop themselves being outflanked by the extremists of Restore.

@thetwerkinggirl He will not apologise. She, like Labour at large, don’t give two figs about us other than to prop up their moral superiority and patronising tokenism in the few urban wards where our votes matter.

Even if you don't care about Black people or social justice, how is there not a financial benefit from having early intervention that prevents expensive treatment paid for by the taxpayer? 😭 It is literally economically better for the country.

People are upset about Black men being offered prostate cancer screenings. But there is a REAL VALID reason for this… In the UK, 1 in 4 Black men will get prostate cancer. 🙏🏾 That's DOUBLE the risk of other men. More info at Prostate Cancer UK: prostatecanceruk.org/prostate-infor…

This is revolting. Black men are twice as likely to develop prostate cancer as white men of the same age. It's not about two tiers, it's about focusing on those most at risk. There's an entirely legitimate argument that screening should be available to everyone, but given the money made available, to frame this as some sort of positive discrimination in favour of black people is foul.

On the day the whole political establishment claims we do not live in a two tier country, they announce this. Note, the NHS makes NO drugs available exclusively to white people.

This is an official government account in a democracy. This is what Orbanism looks like. The president bragging, via AI video, that he forced a comedian who mocked him off the air and ‘into the trash’.

@AaronBastani Less than 2 mins in the constituency more than 2 mins in the centre of the city. I do wonder what - if any - effect this has on people in the farthest flung corner of Manchester (Wigan).
