Cat check: This is nonsense.
Christianity came to Britain from the Middle East during the Roman occupation.
Britain is not culturally homogeneous. There have been different dialects, traditions and pastimes in neighbouring towns, let alone across different counties and nations on this island for centuries. To argue that Wales, Kent and Middlesbrough don't have their own cultures is demonstrably absurd.
Stop lying about our home to make poor arguments in favour of racism

Zia Yusuf bought his position in Reform UK.
Nobody has ever voted for him.
Yet he has been on BBC Question Time 9 times in 2 years.

I am genuinely devastated. As a Trekkie I've long been a fan of Patrick Stewart's gifts, and he has given us so many moments to treasure. His portrayal of Captain Picard was legendary and unrivaled. I could spend the next week posting clips of my favorite scenes that he carried. Measure of a Man. Best of Both Worlds. Family. The Inner Light.
But the moment that lives in my brain forever was this exchange he had with a fan, blogger Heather Skye, at Comicpalooza 13 years ago, where he shared his experience as a survivor of domestic violence.
It was a moment of candor and vulnerability that you rarely see from men in public life, and so needed for such an important issue. More than that, it revealed the depth of his character.
We have lost someone utterly irreplaceable today.
“Live now. Make now always the most precious time. Now will never come again.”
Thank you, Sir Patrick, for daring us to reach for the stars and dream of a world where we take care of each other.
🖖

Patrick Stewart holds the record for most takes on Extras with Ricky Gervais, which is quite an achievement.
It’s wonderful watching a man with such Shakespearean gravitas reduced to a quivering wreck saying “Knickers.” 🤣😂
Such a beautiful man. RIP, Patrick.

America’s healthcare system isn’t failing. It’s doing exactly what it was designed to do: generate profits.
Your illness is revenue. Your suffering is a business opportunity. Your survival depends on what you can afford.
That’s not healthcare. That’s wealthcare.

Overturned elections. Attacks on police. A demolished East Wing. A new war. Trump has already done what no one imagined. Don’t wait to see what’s next.

Patrick Stewart once found himself joking with Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr about being three knights at the same table. No grand speech, no performance. Just a moment of shared laughter.
A long career leaves behind more than great roles. It leaves moments people remember.

Nice to see some truth about Brexit on the BBC. @campbellclaret saying what do many in politics are afraid of saying, the British people are poorer as a direct result of Brexit. They were conned and are still being conned by Farage and Reform.

No one wants how it happened to come out, which tells you just how horrible this move was. Still, the absence of accountability means it can happen again.
🚨 Pentagon refuses to investigate Starlink disruptions in Ukraine. Senators demand answers about Musk's role
Nine US senators — four Republicans and five Democrats — called for an investigation into who was behind restrictions on Starlink and Starshield satellite communications, which Ukrainian officials say hampered efforts to intercept Russian drones.
However, the Pentagon's inspector general declined to launch an investigation and referred the senators to the US Air Force, according to the Associated Press.
The senators wanted to know whether US officials had authorized the restrictions, whether they knew about them in advance, and how the disruptions affected Ukraine's air defenses and warnings of incoming threats.
Senator Jeanne Shaheen said the Trump administration and SpaceX had provided conflicting explanations for the disruptions, making an independent investigation necessary.

Trump is reportedly planning to restart war with Iran after the election.
Some of us have been briefed on the war plan. And while I cannot disclose any details, I can say this: the plan is insane. It will not achieve objectives and will set off a new cycle of escalation.
