- There is no Hinduismphobia because 1 I can say what I like about Hinduism & Hindus won't be offended 2 British Hindus are nowhere trying to impose Hindu laws on other people 3 There are no instances of Hindus committing terrorist acts in the UK 4 Hindus never threated our MPs
- Journalism is missing the mood the country. We don't want blame, we don't want argument as if this were a General Eleection, we want a contribution to the national effort to get us out of this crisis. We want hope optimism and faith in our country. We need less negativity
- Yousaf's family migrated to the UK he has a British passport but denies he is British. It is a perfect example of someone failing to integrate. How can we have a united country if people deny that they have a common identity with their fellow countrymen but instead think they are
- It's easy to lockdown the economy when you know that someone else will pick up the bill. Both Wales & Scotland depend on British money. It is the opposite of being independent
- Charlie Gilmour was sentenced to 16 months in prison for climbing on a war memorial now Met says no laws were broken.
- If I said I detest Germans, it would be xenophobic. If I said I detest black people it would be racist. But Nicola Sturgeon is allowed to express the last acceptable hatred without committing a hate crime in Scotland. Most odd

- Prince William was right to warn his brother about marrying Meghan Markle
- If you provide me with an electric car that can drive from Aberdeen to Sutherland & back in a day & a heat pump that provides more heat, more cheaply than my gas boiler, then I will gladly buy both tomorrow. But you can't & that is why Net Zero is already politically dead
- The mutant Covid strain originated in Brazil and has been spreading all over the world ever since. It happened to be discovered in Britain because we have Labs that can discover it. But don't let facts get in the way of blockades
- The same people who are packed together breaking lockdown in London because of a death in Minnesota were demanding Dominic Cummings resign for driving in a car to Durham. There's a word for this
- Slovakia has a population of 5,457,926 with 491 Covid deaths Scotland has a population of 5.454,000 with 3,280 deaths Why do some Scots think Nicola Sturgeon has handled the crisis well?
- I pointed out some time ago that the behaviour of Humza Yousaf and his wife absolutely stinks. We don't elect people to public office to pay money to get their family out of Gaza. Now the Telegraph agrees effiedeans.com/2024/01/this-s…
