Patience is a conquering virtue. The learned say that, if it not desert you, It vanquishes what force can never reach; Why answer back at every angry speech? No, learn forbearance or, I'll tell you what, You will be taught it, whether you will or not. Geoffrey Chaucer
Depicting someone called Sultana as a box of raisins isn’t racism. It’s traditional political cartooning. Benjamin Disraeli was depicted as dizzy Michael Foot as a literal foot Douglas Hurd as a cow in a herd Jack Straw as a scarecrow Angela Eagle as a bird Ed Balls… Ed Balls
This is mealy-mouthed and refuses to call it what it is: racism. It doesn’t even have the decency to name me, let alone offer a direct apology. Supine journalism from The Observer, but sadly that’s what we’ve come to expect from the mainstream media.
This explains a lot.
The police chief whose force effectively set up the confrontation between Stand Up to Racism activists and Epping residents? That would be Ben-Julian Harrington of Essex Police. The force further justified the move, saying they have "a reasonable duty to protect people who want…
Been slowly cutting back on valerian with a view to stopping it all together. Emptying part of the capsule out, but valerian smells like unwashed ar*e. Just glad it doesn't taste like that.

I'm going to go ahead and guess it's because they were all written hundreds of years ago in England when virtually everyone was white.
Farewell Ozzy … what a journey … sail on up there .. finally at peace .. you truly changed the planet of rock!
Today's @washingtonpost breaks down exactly how Hamas stole aid from Palestinians to fund its war machine: "Earlier in the war, Hamas relied on taxes imposed on commercial shipments and the seizure of humanitarian goods, according to Gazans and current and former Israeli and…

Not seen this before. What fantastic fun for these children.
I'll never forget my first Ofsted lesson observation, as an NQT, when they said I couldn't rely on this level of energy to engage and enthuse my class as it would diminish as I got older. I hope they get to watch this, 20 years later. 🤔
I guess the House is in Recess then. Lol.
The @HouseofCommons has just risen for Summer Recess. Lots of MPs think it’s all over, including @gareth_snell! Well it certainly is now! Have a good summer ☀️ and I look forward to catching up with local residents at my village MP surgery tour! @PARLYapp
BREAKING: Jeffrey Epstein’s attorney, Roy Black, has died.
Don’t call someone’s partner brain dead. We would all be lucky to have a Sharon Osbourne by our side.

🚨BREAKING🚨 Serious ongoing incident in Bristol tonight. Bomb squad, police, fire, and paramedics are at South Liberty Lane, Ashton Vale. Around 250 people evacuated from Swiss Rd, Swiss Dr & Risdale Rd are sheltering at Ashton Vale Community Centre.
Why doesn’t @RachelReevesMP like bats, newts & nice views? Fine to have a debate about appropriate protection in the face of development, but does she need to be so obviously contemptuous of wildlife & pleasant countryside, appreciation of which includes all sections of society?

Before this day ends I remember the people who died & were injured & traumatised during the terror attack on the island of Utoya in Norway in 2011. My heart is with the 77 bereaved families, the injured & traumatised people. Every year on this day the trauma replays over & over.
In Tolkien’s Letters to Father Christmas, the people of the North Pole speak Arktik, which is actually Quenya. Also, Father Christmas’s secretary is Ilbereth, which sounds a lot like Elbereth, aka Varda. All signs point to Father Christmas being a great Elf-lord, or perhaps even…
What's a conspiracy theory you believe with your whole heart?
