If you'd like to see more of the Caribbean Coast of Costa Rica that they didn't manage to show on Celebrity Race Across The World, we have a stunning holiday rental set in the hills of secondary rainforest near to the Panama border. DM me if you'd like details.

I was tagged and asked to take a look at this claim - cos, well just look at it!🙄 Does it seem plausible that THE Trocadero is going to be turned into a Mosque? It was pretty easy to debunk but I decided to do a deep dive into the reality AND the appalling press coverage 🧵 1/26

1. This is a thread on freedom, and how easy it is to lose. Over the past 2,000 years in Europe, there have been few periods and places of freedom. For much of the time we lived under highly oppressive tyrannies of various kinds, whether small or grand, local or imperial, secular or religious.🧵

When racists start citing research, you know the point’s been lost. The “evidence” used to defend Pochin proves the exact opposite of what they think.

new labour's approach to the fact that people who graduate from university have, on average, better lives - which was: get more people into university - had some flaws, but on the whole i prefer that to the current system of "destroy universities so no-one can benefit from them"

How is this repeatedly made into a policy issue - by *all* parties - when the blunt fact of the matter is that grown adults who are obliged to pay for their own education, and relentlessly pursued to repay their loans, should be able to study whatever the fuck they want.

Leaving the ECHR would allow the State Pension, the Minimum Wage, Sick Pay, Maternity Pay, Paid Holiday and working hour limits to all be abolished. They would make hundreds of billions from this. That is what they want.

Gas companies are mugging us off. They're raking in high profits while our household bills go up, our pubs close down and our high streets hand on by a thread. I've had enough, haven't you? Let's make the UK Government reign in greedy gas for good.

If you want to see Michelle Mone kicked out of the House of Lords and arrested until she pays the £232,000,000 she owes give this a RT. If you want Rishi Sunak's involvement in the £14,900,000,000 PPE Fraud he covered up investigated, LIKE.

Mark Payne stabbed a 14 year old boy multiple times nearly killing him, he was convicted of Attempted Murder but only spent 4 years in jail. He also sexually harrassed two teenage girls. Now he is out on streets 'protecting women and girls'. These people ARE the threat.
