    You misinterpret my song "Something Inside So Strong". #BorisJohnson's 1st instinct is to lie (his safe place) He defines the electorate as "stooges" I assessed him as not be trusted after seeing him on "Have I Got News For You". He continues to confirm my assessment as accurate.

    It’s disappointing to find that you are an internet troll. I’m 77, English, not a royalist & have no interest in celebrity. We have serious problems in the UK. They’re getting worse. People are suffering. Gratuitous insults, no matter how mealy-mouthed, demean you & help no one.

    Cancel Culture The first time I was cancelled I was six years old. I was holding my father’s hand. We were in Ladbroke Grove, London. I looked to the building on my left and saw, in the lower left corner of the front room window, a postcard. It read: “Room To Let No blacks No

    I’ve lived a lifetime with racism from the Mail, Express, Sun & Telegraph. Them accusing others of racism is risible & insulting. They’ve profited, & wielded political power, by selling & encouraging racism, homophobia & sexism for decades. #UK #media #racism #sexism #homophobia

    I am not a member of any organisation called "Black Lives Matter” but I believe that Black Lives Matter and I agree with the statement, “Black Lives Matter”; that's because Black Lives Matter. I believe “I’ve made my position absolutely clear". #BlackLivesMatter #race #racism

    A reminder that the Vatican believes Rupert Murdoch has an “unblemished character” & in 1998 awarded him a Papal Knighthood, inducted into the Pontifical Order of St. Gregory the Great, an "honour" he holds to this day. "An unblemished character" a man who, it's fair to say,

    Elon Musk has stepped up his attacks on the UK since the election of Sir Keir Starmer’s Labour government, branding the country “a police state” Elon Musk continues to demonstrate that a genius in his line of work can be a wilfully ignorant, dangerously dishonest or stupid dunce

    Nigel Farage is neither an EU skeptic nor a lockdown skeptic; he plays politics for a living. He views politics entirely as a business & like Donald Trump (& Boris Johnson) views his followers as gullible fodder. #Farage #EU #Lockdown #PoliticsUK #Politics #Demagogues #Populists

    Democracy won't be “alive & well” in GB till we replace 1st Past the Post with Proportional Representation (*not* AV; that's FPTP Lite). For 1 party to govern it should have won at least 51% of the votes. № of Seats should = Proportion of votes. #FPTP #ProportionalRepresentation

    South African born Elon Musk lived in Apartheid South Africa until he was 18 years old. His absurd claim that the UK is a police state makes it clear that, in his entitled, privileged position of being White in Apartheid South Africa he didn't notice that the Apartheid South
