Ms Rachel schools Obama on why he really should stop using dehumanizing language.

Yet more whinging from the self-preservation elite. A mere 7% of the UK population go to private schools & refuse to 'integrate' with the remaining 93%. Yet this minority comprise the vast majority of senior journalists & media, judiciary, senior legal profession & more. Very off-putting.

“I’m worried about my community… I’m out here in a frog costume to show how ridiculous the notion that we’re violent terrorists is, and showcase how that narrative is wrong…” Serious Q: is it too late to give this dude the Nobel Peace Prize? 🐸 🏆

Good morning from Gare du Midi in Brussels! I'm railing and sailing to Dublin today and thought I would bring you along with me. The journey will be 1) the Eurostar to London 2) a train to Holyhead with a change in Chester and 3) a ferry to Dublin. Crossing my fingers it goes smoothly🤞🏻
