The image is not fake of course of the Grand Mosque 🕌 in Bradford @UnderSecPD & @ValentinaForUSA . The biggest Islamic ☪️ outrage is that only 8 miles away in Batley at a Grammar School 🏫 a teacher showed a class an image of Mohammed. Five years later he's still in hiding.

Le Corbeau de Tulle @TZRachelles is French 🇫🇷 but he's a bit of a wag. He describes me to a T. "Oi mate, ever heard of a shower, a bar of soap & a clean shirt? You’re going to court, not crawling out of a skip after 3 days on the piss. Sort yourself out, you absolute state!" It's also a bit rich coming from a frog 🐸. Under Louis XIV there were not enough toilets in the Palace of Versailles & people defecated in the corners, to be cleared up once a year. Hence the joke where do you hide your wallet from a Frenchman? Underneath the soap.

I suffer from mild vertigo & if do you'll be holding onto something sturdy as Blue Peter's John Noakes climbed Nelson's Column in Trafalgar Square to clean it of pigeon poop 💩. In 1977 'Elf and Safety had not been invented.

I can feel my bowels loosening 💩 already.

I do like my cricket 🏏. Because of the 4-5 day game it could be boring, but limited overs saved the game. Certainly the 20 over matches are often exciting. I went with an American lady, medical doctor to watch Surrey play Kent. Surrey needed 4 off the last ball to win, you can see they did. Running the risk she maybe bored stiff, she said it was the highlight of her visit. Some things also have changed. If you flash outside the off stump, nick the bottom edge, heads to the leg side, it was called a Chinese 🇨🇳cut. It's a left-arm unorthodox (wrist-spin) delivery that turns into a right-handed batsman. They have been dropped, no doubt out of political correctness. Today it is called a googly & especially in Australia 🇦🇺 a Bosie named after English cricketer Bernard Bosanquet, who was the father of Reginal Bosanquet, the ITV News presenter. It seems that Test cricket bowlers are either fast, fast-medium or spin bowlers. The medium pace bowler is seen less & I always remember the phrase military medium. I always thought it was Tony Buss the Sussex player but research suggests it's his brother Mike Buss who bowled as slow as a spinner. Cricket is seen as the world's biggest sport.

I asked @grok to fact check the Muslim ☪️ woman in a niqab driving the number 88 bus 🚌, it's true 👍 Someone who uses the bus claims she barely speaks English. Insufficient vision & an inability to communicate, this must be dangerous.

Tim, it was their decision to go to Cyprus and harass him. We also can't rule out @DailyMail and state collusion. The Blob has just made us even more angry.
