If you still have friends on Twitter, maybe this will convince them to junk it. The Muskrat openly bankrolling Tommy Ten-Names in the UK courts brings Lord Rothermere and the BUF to mind, only Rothermere wasn't the richest man in the world. Fascism always goes hand-in-hand with obscene wealth.

This is an absurd misuse of laws designed to tackle terrorism and an insane waste of a resource-starved criminal justice system.

There were obviously not 900 terrorists wandering through central London on Saturday and it's utterly ridiculous to act as if there were

Very sad to see Labour govt flogging off allotment sites. Allotments provide sustainable, healthy food, encourage exercise and community spirit, & are rich in biodiversity. 10,000 people are on waiting lists to get one! Idiotic. We need more, not fewer!

Hi Pete, yes it is best year since we started in 2019 by some margin for pulli, a bit of a way to go to beat our 232 adults but it may happen this weekend!
