The media have a lot to answer for. Anyone with eyes could have seen that Russell Brand was an awful man, a control freak, a sexual deviant and deeply dangerous. Apparently he was entertaining though so it’s ok….

Maybe if you tax them a bit more? That might help?

The effort that people are putting into discrediting this business owner sums up why we’re in trouble. Don’t be successful. Don’t dare make a profit and don’t dare question why you should give more to a state that will waste your money and always demand more.
His cheapest pie is £4.95. Selling 20,000 would generate £99,000 revenue. He employs 39 people. Assuming they are all on minimum wage and work 40 hours weeks. The 50p increase costs his £780 in wages. With 15% employers national insurance that is £897 per week.

We’ve turned into a country that punishes those who try, work hard and want to succeed so that we can fund those who sit on their arse and expect the government to pay for their lifestyle. We can’t go on like this.
Utterly heartbreaking. A must watch.

A point is a point but feel like we’re deluding ourselves. We’re still nowhere near good enough and can’t score goals #safc

Why can’t people accept that the reason that leave won was that the remain campaign was a shambles? I worked for the remain campaign and it was awful. Ran by the same people who lost the 2015 General Election, Labour and Lib Dem ‘strategists’. It was arrogant and out of touch

It’s been an absolute honour to be supporting the Kevin Sinfield challenge over the last few days. An incredible team behind the scenes. After many months of planning we’ve made it happen and met some of the best people along the way.

I really wish I knew what Bucks Fizz think of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. As celebrities they MUST have an opinion on these things or else they’re monsters. That’s how it works isn’t it???

Can’t wait to see #SAFC begin their first European campaign in over 50 years on Wednesday. Still hate the Europa League name though. Here’s what we could have had…

Enjoyed #GNR26 this year but if you’re going to walk it then please don’t put yourself in the front wave. So frustrating having to dodge past people who should be further back on the start line and want to walk it.
