I’ve a black mate who’s British, moved to the US. He tells me it’s like going back in time, black people regularly called the N word, and how much better the UK is. The US has a problem with institutional racism, so you worry about the US, rather than what we are upto.
6 years ago today our daughter died, without a shadow of a doubt the hardest thing I’ve ever been through. Our love for each other has kept us strong. More than anything else, it proved how important talking is. We will always love you Elizabeth xxx
4 rib of beef, we certainly won’t be going hungry for a while. Can’t wait for someone to say that this amazing, organic beef is worse for the environment than some processed vegan shit, shipped from half way round the world. Sourced from our local butcher.1
It is with great sadness that the Ministry of Defence must confirm the tragic death of Lance Corporal Brodie Gillon whilst on duty in the Middle East. Tributes have been paid to her:

I’ve lived 42 years in the countryside and have never seen any signs where it was white people only. The countryside is open for all, you have to make the effort though, it’s not going to come to you.
Why don’t people in the countryside watch
@BBCCountryfile
? For this exact reason. There’s no apartheid in the countryside, everyone is welcome, however you have to make the effort to go out there. This is absolutely pathetic.
@Ben_Stephenson
A brave guy on his day off, going up against an armed suspected with no body armour. Those who slam the police soon forget these acts of bravery, doing this to keep the public safe.
8 years ago today I woke up knowing this would be the hardest day of my life, knowing what Lisa would have to go through, with our hopes and dreams gone. We will always love you Elizabeth.
@Tesco
Surely what is far better for the environment is eating locally sourced products, not crap brought together from all over the globe and then made out like it’s great for the environment. That argument is a complete con.
Bit of practical pest control this morning. With over 1 million new trees being planted on the estate, grey squirrel control is essential. This will be a huge help to small birds, with less of these buggers to plunder eggs and chicks.
@EdwardJDavey
The media bias against the Conservatives from the BBC has been clear for years, how many times did we hear “in-spite of Brexit this happened etc”, it’s been a long time since the BBC has been neutral, presenting fact rather than personal opinion.
@SiobhanBenita
So dim you don’t realise we are still part of NATO, which isn’t the EU. Guess the US can’t be part of it either because it’s not in the EU, dear me 🙄🙄🙄

You’ve got a “Dr” who hasn’t practiced in 6 years and owns a company selling masks, she’s never going to want to put herself out of business is she?
@MichelleDewbs
Love Island, Instagram etc has enabled this nomark to think he’d get away with it. Society fixated on “influencers” who are as fake as their tans. The sooner people actually focus on those with morals than what someone’s wearing, the better
@SholaMos1
Rishi is British, but I don’t really like him. I’d vote for Kemi over Rishi any day of the week. You know people can disagree with others and it not be racist. I think you are a vile individual, it’s not me being racist, it’s your racism which gives me that view.
To properly train as a thatcher, it takes about 7 years to truly grasp the craft. There is no quick fix solution. Those who boast about having “X” on the roof after a couple of weeks create problems. You must understand your materials, what you are doing and why.

The weapons are brought in illegally, with one purpose and there’s a market for them. Rather than supporting an organisation which wants to defund the Police, perhaps supporting them would be far better.
@DrNeenaJha
Perhaps if NHS trusts weren’t employing lived experience directors, art directors, diversity officers, it might make a difference. NHS getting 30 billion PA more than 2019, so something isn’t right is it?

@splufcmot
You are very confrontational. Far better the driver beep, to make you aware of their presence, than hit you. All you want is an argument with drivers. One day you’ll mouth off at the wrong person and you will get hit. It’s not right, but it will happen.
@LauraPidcock
As an MP you swore an oath to the Queen. So you’re either a liar or your word of oath means nothing. So which is it? You hypocritical fraud.
Team work is essential. This time last week, mum was admitted suddenly to hospital, passing away on Friday. The fact I could leave everything and not worry took a huge weight off my mind. Well done chaps, you done yourselves proud.

How much does the crown cost per person per year, well as of 21/22 financial year, the answer is £1.29 per person. That’s such a sum. The contribution to the economy is £2.5 billion. Suck it up princess.

I don’t think they seem to get that the public don’t want racism but they don’t agree with BLM. The two are very different.
@KayBurley
I just wonder when we can all turn up outside your house, harassing you and your family, which you seemed to think was acceptable earlier this year?
Ongoing ridge work at Leighton Bromswold, Cambs. This is a fairly new property, built in 1998, with our new ridge being the 2nd reridge and repair. The vast majority of the ridge should be completed in the coming week.

They are grifters. All they perpetually do is whine about how hard they have it, while living a millionaire lifestyle. They whine about press intrusions, but constantly sell themselves to the press.
@RichardBurgon
Our Armed Forces are far more than an offensive or defensive force. When the shit hits the fan, who do the public want to help, you Richard, when there were 120mph winds on Friday, did the public want you on stand by to help or the military?

Pathetic. You lot made a huge fuss about a gentler, kinder politics. Happily call stories scum. Quite frankly Charlotte, you are a sad, pathetic and vile individual.
All about the attention to detail! The owner rang to thank me and say how pleased they were with this ridge. Despite the fact you’d never see this from the floor, the attention to detail Tom put in made them so happy!

You need to show you membership card to get into local Labour Party meetings. The Gov have also said they will offer everyone free voting id if required. Perhaps if voting fraud within Labour wasn’t so bad, it wouldn’t be a problem.
The basic tools of the

for dressing the reed, hatchet for cutting open the bundles and a hammer, for driving in the spikes. The link to the past is what makes thatching so amazing

When we moved in 2 years ago, we had no small birds in our garden, just a plague of crows and magpies. Pretty hard pest control means today, we have our second brood of blackbirds hatching. While it’s not a big thing, I really chuffed.

There’s a huge difference between trophy hunting and shooting a dear and it being eaten. For all those complaining, I hope non of you eat meat. It doesn’t just find its way into the shops you know 🙄🙄
First day out proper for Reggie, after a week watching from a distance, he joined me for half the drives. Loved it to bits, watched intently and even retrieved his first pheasant. Very pleased.

In September 2000, a rather young and sprightly Chris got the opportunity to lay some straw for the 1st time. 24 years ago, as a master thatcher and running my own business, I’m back to rethatch it, this time, I will be teaching my son,

An afternoon in the woods on pest control duty. I haven’t had a shot at a jay in 25 years, then I get a left and right! Sam is off the mark with his .410, with a squirrel. Happy chap.

I wonder if your members are pestering Keir Starmer for his get together? The Labour MP who attended a funeral where over 200 people were. What about Kay Burley?
A close up of the ridge. Long straw making up the base with sedge on the apex. Spars no more than 6�� apart and everything pegged down as tight as possible. Craftsmanship is about doing a proper job, not cutting corners and scrimping on materials.

What about how the military did so much to help with Covid, helping with vaccines, running testing centres, acting as ambulance drivers. They were good enough then for you.
Today in 2003
Fusilier Kelan Turrington, aged just 18 from Haslingfield, Cambridgeshire, and of The Royal Regiment of Fusiliers, was tragically killed by friendly fire whilst on active service in Basra, Iraq

CIS isn’t a thing, they are women. What’s stopping me saying I’m a bloke and going into clothes store and into the women’s changing rooms for a good perv, when I’m challenged I just say I identify as a woman. It’s just a pervert charter.
Chris Packham is a bloody charlatan. He has a world wide nature tourism business. It’s ok to jet around the world to put money in his pocket, but not for your average Joe to go on holiday. Those who believe this idiot are gullible fools.
