People complain about multiculturalism

Because people are mainly ignorant of history.

All historic empires have been - by definition - multicultural. Spanning tribes, regions, countries, nations, states, faiths and ethnicities.

In 300 AD someone born in Vindolanda would have been as Roman as the soldiers guarding the fort who came from Iraq.

Don't tell them about pescado frito

Everyone should be eating turnips or is that swedes?

This guy is close to Kruger and Jenrick

Telegraph reports that James Orr has formally joined Reform UK and is now an advisor to Nigel Farage.

He could prove to be a key force in the party’s thinking and policy making.

A Cambridge academic, he is respected by many Tories - JD Vance calls him “his British Sherpa.”

Fascinating that so many on the right find the actual representatives of CofE woke & liberal.

Goes back to Henry II

They also hate science

Quite amused at the reform meltdown in Kent. It suggests that the lack of vetting is not only letting in complete cunts from the far right. It's also letting in absolute legends from the far left who are able to destroy them from the inside.

I reckon maybe 10% of reform candidates are actually secret agents. It's the only way to explain how fucking useless they have turned out to be. Way beyond what pure chance would have delivered.

Gullis has finally got a job, but 🤣 at the picture

😂

Good grief. Someone's been desperate enough to employ him? 😂

ETA I've just clicked on the picture and seen who posted the Tweet

I think a lot of the reform councillors thought the job would entail the same amount of effort they were spending posting on facebook about the state of the council/ roads/ schools / no-one having common sense, everyone ( but them) overpaid etc etc etc and have found out the hard way the job actually requires a bit more than their normal ranting!

I think a lot of the reform councillors thought

I don't.

@ilovesooty hard to know which of the two were more desperate 🤣

Bet the photographers were elbowing each other for that position.

🤣🤣

perfect summary.

But he hasn’t been employed by a school. Read his wiki. There’s being critical and just being plain nasty.

Did you look at the picture? Especially the word on the left?

I’ve no idea what you mean He has a family to support

Look at the picture.

Please explain

Sadly it's not Lowe's account.

Explain what? You seriously must be able to read the word by his left ear (well left in the pic - it’s his right in RL!) ?

false naivety isnt becoming

Still none the wiser

Oh. Are we not allowed to take the piss out of ex-MPs now?

So is that post fake @DuncinToffee ?

Worry not Derxa. Gullis has a job. I think it is telling that no one would give him a teaching job, though.
