GB News now broadcasting calls to remove the ethnic minority MPs from parliament
Connor Tomlinson c
@Con_Tomlinson
The British people are not represented by the sons and daughters of India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh using Parliament to bicker about how best to import millions of their kin from the Subcontinent.
We should ban those without native British ancestry from being MPs.
We should be closing our doors to the third world, without anyone in Parliament putting pressure from foreign lobbies or ethnic loyalties over what is in our national interest.

A prime example of how the far right can never be appeased. Give them whatever they demand and they’ll bank it, then use it as a new base camp to strike out for more and worse.

A small chocolate snowman. Who is definitely a pervert.

Got a Galaxy Advent Calendar and for the first time in my life I have to ask this question:

Is this snowman a pervert?

Yes or no.

The GCSE History Revision Podcast: Herodotus and the Conquest of Lydia, Ancient History: Persia Part 3 In this episode we look at what our old friend Herodotus has to say about the Conquest of Lydia. Featuring lots of interference by the Gods, fortune telling oracles and more camels than you shake a...

New episode! #AncientHistory

What does Herodotus, that totally reliable historian, tell us about Cyrus the Great? Revise your #GCSEHistory sources as we start to look at the conquest of Lydia.

Also, it turns out that Ctesias sounds a lot like Obi-wan Kenobi. Who knew?

I don't understand why our press keeps going after these high ranking female members of the government. It's almost like there's something that links them but I can't quite put my finger on them...

Which bit of Magna Carta is supposed to guarantee trial by jury?

Chapter 39 famously says no free man will be arrested, imprisoned, etc., 'except by the lawful judgement of his peers or by the law of the land'.

That final 'or' clause means Magna Carta does NOT guarantee judgement by peers.

I can't help but notice that this government isn't doing much of what I elected it to do and is doing an awful lot of stuff I didn't vote for.

I'd genuinely still keep doing my job because I love it.

But I'd maybe go to 4 days a week to leave more time for just... being

Because, yes, I love the job but my god, it's all consuming
