For a long while I used to tell people that Jimmy Page was in the Firm. Which was true, but misleading.

I would rather live next door to someone who speaks another language than live next door to someone who doesn’t want to live near people who speak other languages. I know nothing about Person A but I know person B is a shitbird.

Vance says it is "totally reasonable and acceptable" for people to not want to live next door to people who speak a different language than they do

Slightly embarrassingly, I have discovered that this is actually a quote from the Hobbit films and not Tolkien. Point stands though. Aragorn was a man of Gondor, and Tommy Robinson is an orc.

"Some believe it is only great power that can hold evil in check, but that is not what I have found. It is the small everyday deeds of ordinary folk that keep the darkness at bay. Small acts of kindness and love." - J.R.R. Tolkien

You keep telling yourself that.

BBC News article with headline “'I was fined £100 for a poo my dog didn't do'”.

Below it a photo of a woman and her dog in a park next to a poo bin and normal litter bin.

Close up of the dog from the last pic, poker-faced.

There's a 2nd part to this if it's of interest.

I have some experience of this. Have a look at this DIY device known as the flag flusher. drive.google.com/file/d/16wkl...

The French want our history.
The Greeks want our history.
The Spanish want our history.
Everyone wants our bleedin’ history.
😡
That’s why I put up our flag.
I don’t want to be erased.

A logical, well thought out argument for why we should all fly our flag with pride!

I have removed my name and photo from here due to the intimidation tactics used by our flag loving friends. It's not just social media, there have been very real and recent reprisals.

I'm involved in a flag removal campaign in my town (it's very successful too). Here, it has been a group of around 8 men putting flags on lampposts, most of whom actually live here. Similar to you, not many flags on houses. And the majority of people have been grateful for the flag removal.

Hope to see you before too long. Fingers crossed for the funding. I'll keep on listening out.

We are receiving you here Ben! Any plans to visit Faversham this autumn?

Farage wanting to kick people out of the country because they migrated here made me angry and made me think about which best of British people and things wouldn't have happened were it not for the brilliance of immigration to the UK.

One of them here yesterday said that "he'd fought for his country" to which we replied "Wetherspoons doesn't count mate".

We went to the Shipwrights this evening after the resistance. A visit there always lifts the soul.

Good for you. We've also been out in our town today to resist them. Being there is important.

Any chance you could have a (less-than-polite) word with my Mum, Sam?

"You take them down..." they say? Well, alright then, we will. In broad daylight too.
