1066 was basically a battle between 2 kings, both of whom claimed the throne of England.

The trouble is that a lot of ethnic minorities vote for Khan because they think he'd look after them rather than a white person.

There was talk of it.
But he's in Israel now -which doesn't bode well.

He's visiting the Holy city ? Not another British PM with a Messiah Complex !

So people of ethnic origins aren't able to make considered judgements about selecting a candidate to vote for?

They just see a brown face and the name Khan and will disregard policies etc ?

I would strongly disagree

HE 's NOT THE MESSIAH, HE'S A VERY NAUGHTY IDIOT

Just Stop Oil protesters damaged a painting at the National Gallery. Do they want all artists to stick to Water Colours?

Tommy Robinson and Katie Hopkins have been reinstated on Twitter. Or X
About time more than one side has free speech.

Does this mean I have to re-block them, or will the old block still stand?

Wouldn't wanna miss gems like this:

"Just been asked a question by a very fat child. Had to explain that I don't answer to fat children"

Poisonous c*nt

Does anybody use Twitter anymore? It's essentially just pornography and hate.

I use it a fair bit.
Plenty of hate, as you say - but some good people countering it with those pesky things called 'facts'.
Porn, not so much - though it's amazing the number of scantily-clad women - all with the same name, followed by a load of numbers - who seem to agree with my centre-left politics.
Perhaps there is such thing a s a 'tart with a heart'.

I can honestly say, I have never been on it, and don't see the point of it

U-turn time again

"Rishi Sunak has SCRAPPED Suella Braverman's plan to ban homeless tents because he's "uncomfortable" with her "lifestyle choice" comments

It has been removed from the King's Speech "

It's like she is daring him to sack her

Try harder ya cretin

I'm sure some of you would love a 'block button on here too.
No more reading posts you don't like or agree with, no right-wing opinions ever.

No shortage of right-wing opinions as far as I can see.
And I think you'll find that people have made it very clear, on other threads, who they would rather didnn't express an opinion here.
But we soldier on
Me, I don't mind right-wing posts - gives you something to get your teeth into.
But there are limits - and the combined sewage outlets known as Katy Hopkins & Tommy Robinson are way beyond.
Life's too short.

Says the man who regularly gets his knickers in a twist by anybody saying anything negative about the Tories. I salute your complete lack of self awareness, Sir.

Tommy Robinson is ok sporting his mouth off on line and having fights were the victim couldn't punch their way out of a paper bag. But I saw one clip were he and his mates in equal numbers backed down from three big Asian lads it was embarrassing at how much of a shithouse he was he actually fell over trying to flee. As for Katie I have never seen anyone so desperate to noticed she's like the kid who ate worms in school because they were otherwise invisible.
