Angry John of Bradford

I don't really post anymore, but I would like to carry on writing books at some point in the future.

Hate to be annoying, but any chance you could retweet so old twitter followers can find me if they want to? Going to delete my twitter, or at least abandon it on lock and let it die a slow death.

The grim track to the othering and demonisation of families in poverty from #Bradford Tories at #Bradfordcouncil meeting. Dog whistles and bile..
Old enough to remember those expunged one nation Tory council members who would have been appalled. ...

Guys please help, should I delete these pics before I move to Wyoming to become a ranch hand?

Who says right wingers are all selfish twats who don't give a shit about anyone else?

People would do well to remember the distinction between legal and ethical.

Nerd's Eye View: 11 things you need to know about immigration Digging into the detail and data to separate the noise from the news

"Incidentally, in the 1960s and 1970s, when net migration was running at minus 50,000 a year, more than 85% of Britons still thought immigration was too high."

Last week's New World column ocncerned immigration to the UK.

I have been thinking about this... Is it possible that Nigel Farage doesn't even realise that characters like Alf Garnett were meant to satirize and lampoon bigots? ~AA

My free advice to this couple? Instead of paying £47k a year in school fees and scraping by, stick 15k a year in each kid's bank account so that they each have around £100k at age 18 to spend on a house, business or uni. You then have £17k/year leftover to spend on luxuries. Better life all round

Too soon?

The US has declared rhetorical war on the EU The calls from America this weekend to destroy the EU are revealing. They hate the union because it's the only thing that can keep European countries from being Russian or American vassals.

The calls from America this weekend to "abolish the EU" are for one simple reason: the EU is the only thing that can keep European nation-states from becoming Russian or American vassals.

Here I am with Reform councillor Andrew Harrison, who was one of a group of people fined over £1m for employing illegal workers. Like all good patriots, he hates immigrants, apart from the ones he can exploit for profit.

Next time you're watching a video of someone talking to the camera in selfie mode, watch their eyes and see if they're really looking at the camera or looking at themselves on the screen the whole time checking out if they look good. Adjust your judgement of them on this basis.

Nigel Farage given standing ovation at German far-right AfD election rally The former UKIP leader says the key poll challengers are refusing to discuss Brexit as it is a "huge embarrassment" to the EU.

I mean, we only have to look back a few years to understand why Farage won’t apologise for his Neo Nazi school days

Nigel Farage won't apologise for his history of racism because "if he apologised, he would be turning to his own support base and saying, ‘You’re all guilty too,'" a Reform source tells the Times.

So essentially he was a racist and he believes his supporters are racists too

Crick (Michael, who wrote a biography on Nigel Farage) believes that there is a clear line to be drawn between Farage the sixth-former and Farage the politician. "So much of his character is the same as you can see at Dulwich," he says. "The boy who's desperate for attention, who loves debating, who loves division. The English nationalism, the interest - almost obsession - with immigration, the admiration for Enoch Powell, the free-market Thatcherism; all of that began at Dulwich." Much of the public has already made up its mind on Farage. In as much as this story cuts through to the wider elector-ate, some will think it deeply unfair to judge Farage on his adolescence; while others will see it as fair game and reflective of the man he later became. But there will be many who are still undecided on Farage and, for this last camp, his belligerent response to the allegations will be a test. He has the polling support. He has the Tory defections. He has the money now too. But does he have the ability to woo and keep voters who once found him unsavoury? Farage is unlikely to change tack now. "He's got to be true to him-self," says the senior Reform source. "There is precious little point in apologising to people like Ed Davey." Additional Reporting: Harry Yorke

The exact people now saying "Nigel Farage was young and foolish at school" (to excuse his racism, bullying and harassment of fellow pupils at Dulwich College) are the same people who said "Shamima Begum was old enough to know what she was doing".

I see King Herod is the for the FIFA early years practice Prize ....

No Reform representative on the Laura Kuenssberg show for two weeks running - that's a record! It's almost as though we didn't want to talk about the 28 witnesses to my teenage racism and antisemic abuse.

Shamina Begum must be held accountable for her actions when she was 15. Whereas I should not, because I was a mere child.

Young people are getting a 'raw deal', and that's good news for the Greens and Reform Frustration among voters under 30 is widespread, writes Laura Kuenssberg.

Here’s a trademark headline undermining Labour whilst promoting Reform from Kuenssberg

Yes she mentions the Greens to seem balanced but it’s target is the Govt

No mention that Farage says the minimum wage is "too high for younger workers" and his party would cut it for younger age brackets❗️🤷🏼‍♂️
