This May 2014 editorial in The Sun about Nigel Farage said is not racist" to worry about the scale of immigration but it is "racist" to smear Romanians to say you wouldn't want to live next door to a Romanian & "you know the difference" [between a German and a Romanian neigbour]

Nigel Farage’s partner, Laure Ferrari, is listed as the sole owner of a £885,000 Clacton house with no mortgage. But how could a former Strasbourg waitress afford to buy it outright? 🧵

WH has struck another vessel, killing three in Intl. waters, claiming it was transporting illegal drugs to the U.S. If the U.S. can blow up boats in Intl. waters claiming they “might” be drug traffickers, then other nations (China, Russia..) could claim the same to attack vessels they don’t like.

Sad news about the Happy Heat Pump Podcast. Sorry to say, that after about 20 episodes, we’re drawing it to a close at the request of the BBC which worries it may be seen as steering into areas of public controversy. 1/2

One of the forms of hybrid warfare Russia is developing to use in Western nations is cyber-attacks to disable sewerage systems, flooding the rivers with shit. How, in the UK, would we detect them?

Jeremy Clarkson, James Dyson, the Earl of Derby – they’re up in arms about paying tax on the vast areas of land they own. Small farmers are worried that changes to Agricultural Property Relief (APR) will affect them. But who are the big landowners complaining the loudest? Thread: 1/

Your regular reminder that you can look up how much public subsidy each farmer gets annually here.

For example in 2023 Jeremy Clarkson got £83,000 and in 2022 he got £133,000. Nice work if you can get it.
