  1. A country and culture that existed 3000yrs BC doesn’t need to have the beliefs and politics of the West forced upon it.Surrounded by similar countries,they have their own dress,language and religion.Much as we may want education and woman’s suffrage in Afghanistan…….we still haven’t fully achieved it yet.

  2. In 1918,the Spanish flu started in Kansas,became a pandemic and killed 50+ million people.In 2019,the Covid 19 virus simply needs humans,in which to reproduce,then transmit it.It is difficult to understand why America would ignore both history and scientific fact in preference to the word of a known liar who was clearly mentally unstable,if not psychopathic.MASKS,DISTANCE,SANITISE.Take care.

  3. The big red bus said. “We send the EU £350 million a week “. As it’s 1/9/21, does anybody know where the £11,200 million that we have supposedly saved,has gone ? Education,roads,universal credit ???

  4. £80 million !

  5. …….and who supports their gun laws and death penalty Daniel ?

  6. Google: The brooch worn by the Governor General of Jamaica ! This “honour”,which reminds you of the murder of George Floyd,tells you how sorry Britain is.

  7. Quite amazing that we spend so much money on the police,on MI5,on MI6,on GCHQ and yet they are unable to trace and apprehend men carrying 20 ft rubber dinghies down to the sea ! Despite the highest taxation in 70yrs,clearly,the obvious solution(to a Tory) is to impose £120m now and much more,later.After all,it’s only the plebs !……and people vote for this.

  8. Why not.......he’s both corrupt and psychotic ?

  9. Talking of the White House,re-posting this from Julie Red: Why can’t trump get back into the White House ? ............because it’s forBIDEN..................boom,boom.

  10. Should have had hundreds of acres and quad bikes,shouldn’t they ?

  11. ……..that would explain the UK’s Conservative party then !

  12. So, thieves get to decide whether the police can investigate them ! That sounds like typical Conservative ideas of democracy and justice. That’s the power of an 80 seat majority !

  13. Not charging VAT on private school fees because they are classed as charities........”they provide benefit to the public !!!” Is estimated to cost this country £522 million,between 2017-22.We subsidise wealthy landowners with £15 billion ! If the Tory party have any intention of “ levelling up” and removing inequality,then perhaps they should look at these and feed children.

  14. A)It is not illegal to seek asylum ! B)Those on the Titanic we’re either rich…..and therefore entitled to go wherever they want ( much like the Russian oligarchs have done in London)……or poor migrants and some even drowned !!! C)Any comments about the 40,000 people that were brought in to work on the land,of the rich landed gentry,so that they didn’t lose any money ?

  15. What about the £120m……of YOUR taxes being paid to the Rwandan Govt. ? The £500,000 cost of the plane ? Taking in Rwandan refugees ?
    4
  16. Should have thought about that before we went sticking flags all over the world......and saying “ this is ours”.”You are now subjects of the great white queen.”Try singing...Land of Hope and glory.......................

  17. In view of what we have already seen,will there be any buildings left in Gaza,will there be any people left alive in Gaza ? Gutteres appears to be the only politician with any humanity.

  18. No emotion.No feeling.Is he even aware of what he is reading ?

  19. Yes,daddy was just about to pay £40,000 to send them to boarding school and they’d learnt to drive already,going round the pony paddock !

  20. Johnson on holiday.Raab on holiday.Philip Barton(head of Foreign Office) on holiday. Anybody who considers these people “hard working,doing their best,competent”, need their head examining.

  21. We all lost,it’s just that you’re not intelligent enough to know it.I’ll wave as I pass your queue,with my Irish passport.

  22. The natural form of the human is female.Congratulations Argentina, for emancipating the people,especially women, in deciding how they conduct their lives.

  23. Watching Strictly Come Dancing last Saturday…….it struck me……that seeing 2 men dance together….didn’t offend me…….actually,they were very good !

  24.  @jimcourt9164  He came as a result of a loving relationship,as were all my children.We guided them for a few years and then,like the whole of the animal kingdom,we let them make their own choices.I’m proud of my children,they’re good human beings.They don’t get into my bed anymore,I don’t get into theirs…..I think that’s called life.

  25. One British,one Canadian playing in America,with parents from Romania+ China and Ecuador + Philippines…….what odds of that occurring now that we closed student exchange and freedom of movement ? The idiocy of Farage Et al,or two superb human beings ?

  26. Would that be the same god that oversaw the killing of the Native Americans…..after those migrant Pilgrims landed…..or do you just like the bits that fit your thinking ?

  27. Anybody with a brain knew that this would happen after Brexit ! PS It’s quicker by boat,just ask Priti or Nigel.

  28. What an abuse of power !Blatant nepotism ! Has all the hallmarks of Hitlers Nuremberg rallies!

  29.  @woodstockxx  Ooh Steven,might I suggest that you Google Earth and look at field,after field,after field in the U.K.,many of them green,green,green……growing little more than grass ! (but all subsidised since 1947) We have to import most of our food,partly because our farmers no longer bother growing any……they prefer growing maize to go into anaerobic digesters !!!

  30. Why is there no information about the actual crash ? How do you get killed by crashing an e-bike ?

  31. Backward !!! They had a civilisation when your ancestors were stilldaubing their homes with cow muck.

  32. The Republic of Ireland has had an elected Head of State for years.You don’t have to have a presidential leader.Mary Robinson was apolitical,yet had worldwide respect.

  33. Australia DOESN’T have A FREE TRADE DEAL with the EU. It’s beef has 20% tariffs....”if it’s high quality”.They exported £15 bn....we exported £300 bn....43% of all our exports ! No wonder Brexiteers like Ratcliffe and Rees-Mogg have moved. FISH:-We import more fish than we export.Two countries ( not France ) catch more than us.Our seas,which everybody thinks are so important,only got 12 mile limits in 1987 and we didn’t pass the Exclusive Economic Zone until 2014........suddenly Farage et al get the peasants to start waving flags and singing Rule Britannia. And people voted for this stupidity !!!!!

  34.  @paulgibbons2320  Who doesn’t want to be back in the EU ? 15,141,241 people voted Remain.Both Northern Island and Scotland had well over 50% wanting to Remain. It was largely due to outright lies,the right wing press and the stupidity and weakness of Cameron that saw the result.You certainly wouldn’t get it again !

  35. People attending this gathering will be truly ashamed of themselves,when the truth comes out.

  36. The rest of the country won’t.

  37. 277,000 of them are students,who the Govt.want here ! Seen the £500,000 homes farmers are putting on their land ?

  38. Well done Kansas, you have restored faith and respect for the place and freedom of women in your 21st century society. One is reminded that Mary Dyer was hung by the ignorance and bigotry of pale,stale,male Pilgrim Fathers,simply for being a Quaker,who wanted to worship in her own way.

  39. Ever seen how many have CEO’s who are part of the rich elite ?

  40. They sold off our gas, electricity and water, our trains and buses ! They don’t build houses,nor allow Councils the money to build ! They cut the police,the doctors and the nurses ! They introduced the Lottery,so now we have to take a 14million: 1 gamble,to pay for our own good causes…….and to cap it all….they raise our taxes (and their salaries). Frankly,you have to be pretty thick to believe the likes of Johnson,Rees-Mogg,Farage and Murdoch and give them an 80 seat majority. What have they done for you or the country ?

  41. 1 : 17,500 !

  42. “Before you set out on a path of revenge,dig two graves.”.........Confucius.

  43. Information on the 1918 pandemic is easily available.Estimates of death are 25 - 50 million.The few minutes spent writing uninformed opinion,would be better spent doing some actual research.

  44. Exactly what specific and in-depth solutions do you expect from a young girl ? The younger generation are very aware of our environmental problems,so perhaps she’s more observant and proactive than some.

  45. “Liz Truss made sure that the money was being used for humanitarian purposes !!!” So is that what all that claptrap about ‘sovereignty’ was about ? Some woman,a thousand miles from Iran has the ability to tell another country what they can do with THEIR money ! Typical Murdoch/Farage/Fox/Tory stupid lies…..or are you Russian ? ( hard to tell the difference these days ).

  46. Cretin

  47. “The Land of the Free”……relying upon a constitution written in 1789, an ex-president (rejected by the people) who ‘fixed’ the judiciary and a book that took an English king to put together !!! What a way to run a country.

  48. Pray tell,what evidence do you have for the existence of a god ? You must be aware that all of the 4,300 religions are man made.

  49. Another of Sunaks pri….oooo….riteees ,no doubt. Could we now remove Johnson’s Russian mate from the House of Lords ?
