45 years and counting in the NHS. Zero tolerance of those spreading racial or religious hatred. If that’s you, move on. Private account. #HullCityAFC 🐅

To those who think they’re insulting me by saying that I’ve cleaned NHS toilets for 45 years: it’s NOT an insult. The cleaners, porters, laundry, catering and other ancillary staff do a great job and are vital members of the team. Respect to them all. Think of a better insult.

I worked with Farage from 1999-2003 when he was first elected as an MEP, sharing an office with him in Strasbourg. I stayed at his home, travelled with him, dined and entertained when we were in Europe, and worked with him in the UK. Outwardly charming, he is in fact a vindictive, aggressive bully, with a huge chip on his shoulder. He is intolerant of criticism, has no loyalty to anyone, and will shaft anyone who disagrees with him, gets in his way or poses a threat (usually by underhand means, via third parties). I am not surprised, therefore, that you have come to your view. Most people who have been close to Farage feel the same way and would not trust him in the slightest. Many more will come to the same conclusion, and eventually the Farage bubble will burst. I hope it does so before he does even more damage.

Dear diary Back from holiday and had my second day working in Air Traffic Control today. People seemed a little stressed so I guess they’ve really missed me.

Imagine if multi-billionaires like Jim here, who’ve made their money using the infrastructure and investments made by generations before him, and from the backs of his employees, were patriotic to the U.K. and didn’t avoid paying taxes? Greedy bastard. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cm04…

So, Jim Ratcliffe, a resident of Monte Carlo, says he has lost confidence in the UK. Well, virtually every Man United fan has lost confidence in Sir Jim.

It's strange how many of the people who are extremely critical of the UK either don't live here or don't pay tax here. Maybe if they paid their fair share of tax then things would improve. The UK has many problems but we don't need billionaires exacerbating them.

Farage went after the RNLI, now the Church. He thinks women beaten for interrupting his speech is funny. He is going to arrest a lot of people he says. You don’t think he is a facist yet?

Remember this Piddington woman who spoke to Newsnight about concerns of being “othered” by locals, due to having a black husband and mixed race kids? Well, one of her neighbours gave her address to the far right. Then the Pink Ladies and Tommy Robinson doxxed her.

‼️ Jim Ratcliffe: 🔹 Backed Brexit 🔹 Moved his tax residence to Monaco 🔹 Abandoned plans to build the British 🇬🇧 Grenadier in Wales and moved production to France 🔹 Now lectures Britain from Denmark about why the country is on the slide And who does he blame? Immigrants and people on benefits. The billionaires who helped hollow Britain out always point down, never at Brexit, tax flight, chronic underinvestment or their own decisions. *Toughness* seems to mean somebody poorer paying the price.
Sir Jim Ratcliffe says he has lost confidence in the UK, describing the country as "on the slide". "Nobody's tough enough to deal with the immigration problem. Nobody's tough enough to deal with the benefits problem. But somebody needs to do it." [BBC]

The government needs to treat the far right as an emergency and terror threat NOW. Most local groups are heavily radicalised and infiltrated. It’s not about “legitimate concerns” it’s not “thuggery” it’s organised crime, mob rule and vigilantism. It is dangerously out of control.
