Oh look, another Reformer turning out to be exactly what everyone could have guessed, a dangerous loon who shouldn't be trusted with a roll of sellotape. www.chroniclelive.co.uk/news/north-e...

That answer doesn’t even make sense. Where is the positive in this situation? We are discussing abuse by a man who has incredible privilege.

Your opinion? You’ll besmirch a dead woman, who undoubtedly suffered abuse, on that basis? Wow.

Why on earth are you defending Andrew Windsor?! He wouldn’t do the same for you. He’s known to be a horrible, difficult man by those that have dealt with him and that’s an aside from these appalling allegations.

I've added my name – will you?

Sign @animaljustice.bsky.social's petition calling on Angela Eagle MP to remove Cranswick's Tim Smith from two government advisory boards.

Give Tim Smith the Boot!

Given Cranswick's systemic violations towards pigs, Tim Smith must be removed from Government advisory boards.

Lol.

Absolute travesty. But “royalty” is a ridiculous concept anyway.

Strangely I won’t be following you or taking your advice.

It is now the only moral thing to do. (Prince) Andrew must now be fully investigated for crimes committed against young girls, including Virginia Giuffre.

Well, “we” elected Johnson and Farage & Reform are popular so we can’t say much other than question the quality of education and media here too!

“Head of OFWAT hear us say, Thames Water NO way!”

OFWAT is considering allowing Thames Water to break the rules and dump sewage in our rivers and seas for the next 15 years.

We are outside OFWAT HQ to demand they say NO!

Campaigners outside Thames Water HQ demanding they say no to Thames Water’s proposal to be allowed to dump sewage for the next 15 years.

Then he should have nothing to worry about and should have gone to the US to help them with enquiries then 🤷‍♀️ or go to his local police station now. 🤷‍♀️

Philippa Banks @phil510.bsky.social · 11h

Proves the concepts of “royalty” and “nobility”, are utter nonsense. Time for Andrew Windsor to be prosecuted.

(Prince) Andrew needs to be fully investigated by the Metropolitan Police.

Repost if you agree.

Reversing Right to Buy would be expensive, but it would provide immediate results and would pay dividends over time.

Reversing Right to Buy may sound radical. But it could fix the housing shortage

Acceptable in medieval times. Should be laughable now.

Philippa Banks @phil510.bsky.social · 13h

It hasn’t, and never will be until we reform the House of Lords and get rid of the Monarchy. Based on antiquated nonsense.
However, your system seems extremely odd to outsiders.

It’s not as if any member of the RF shows any exceptional skills to justify their privilege.

Boycott all dairy

Perhaps the onus should be on men to behave better and police each other more.

Philippa Banks @phil510.bsky.social · 1d

I agree

Andrew @andrewgowen.bsky.social · 1d

It’s time to have a head of state that doesn’t fit the 9th century profile.
We need a democratically elected head of state, answerable to the citizens and ideally not from a family that tolerates friends and supporters of a pedophile.

Shouldn’t still be up for discussion. He should also be charged.
