@JustStop_Oil @taylorswift13 A private jet is a much better target than Stone Henge to get public support. If I were your PR guy, I’d advise you apologise for Stone Henge and stick to targets like this….that’s not considering the criminal part of all of this of course.

@dieworkwear So, in summary, you tore him a new one. And rightly so - I’m tired of being told “you shouldn’t wear that; you’re in your forties” - typical of a city of 100,00. How about people enjoy their own opinions and not try to dictate societal norms they feel comfortable with.

@tim_brannigan For me there are two types of English exceptionalism: one says England is great and can do no wrong or bad; the other is self-hating and says England can do no right or good. Both sides deserve ridicule, and are probably more a reflection of the person taking a side.
