“Today's not a triumph, it's the laying bare of a tragedy” J.K. Rowling

I've noticed that the more one is accused of being ‘far-right’ for advocating a perfectly reasonable, judicious and pragmatic policy, the more one's accusers are likely to be unreasonable, injudicious, or captive to a kind of cultic dogma.

Now that is a good joke.

As Queen Elizabeth II said: 'Long live the difference, but long live the Entente Cordiale.'

🇫🇷🇬🇧 French and British troops on Monday will swap roles to take part in the changing of the guards ceremonies outside the palaces of the other country's head of state.

This unprecedented move is part of a celebration of 120th anniversary of the #EntenteCordiale 👇

This is a gracious and timely message from Emmanuel Macron.

120 years of Entente Cordiale. This friendship predated Britain's membership of the European Union, and will last long beyond our exit too.

Great to see the return of Horwich First Community Litter Pickers. No litter picking today, instead painting street furniture outside St Mary's Rc for Bolton Council with paint supplied by Horwich Town Council, brushes by a resident, refreshments supplied by Tesco #Horwich .

Brilliant launch.
Thanks to our amazing team.
I will be out across Greater Manchester listening.

Justice should not be means-tested.

This decision by the Sentencing Council for England and Wales is wrong.

They need to think again.

Not as bad as some people thinking that Westhoughton, Blackrod, Horwich, Atherton and Bolton are not in Lancashire. Friends of Real Lancashire

Labour and the SNP are the same when it comes to attacking free speech.

Worth reading the thread.

Dear Politicians,

Don't be fooled. Free speech is still more popular than oppressive, authoritarian censorship. Take a stand for free speech and watch your voters flock to your standard!

Sincerely,
Jay

Quite aside from any substantive issues with the proposals, the secrecy in which the negotiations have been conducted and the funding conflicts inherent in the WHO’s public-private financing structure support this approach.

We want to work with other countries but not subordinate ourselves to them.

From lockdowns to Covid passes and compulsory medical treatment, we cannot handover democratic national decisions to other bodies.

There is though a general sidelining of Christianity by the nation's public service broadcaster and also a fundamental religious illiteracy. Woman's Hour began today with a 'Happy Good Friday' greeting. The gravest, saddest day of the Christian calendar. Happy Crucifixion Day…

On #WorldTheatreDay let’s celebrate the incredible impact theatre and drama has on young people - developing skills and understanding that will last a lifetime!

That my girl ♥️🖤
