Bedford Council dealing with bigots

it's not just the stupidity of the original post - its the dumbass likes and hearts.

I bet they consider themselves 'defending the faith'.

Piggywaspushed · 19/02/2026 09:15

They probably don't live in the area even.

Can I just point out the ratio? 5 likes/loves for Maggie vs 35 for BBC.

Not often you can shout out about Bedford but between The Rose pub banning Tommeh and this I reckon it's got it's good points.

Bedford Council dealing with bigots

Thank you so much for sharing thus @DuncinToffee.
Its now 765 up ticks for BBC.
76 for the originating message - but the vast majority are laughing faces.
This has genuinely made me happy this morning - and I've shared it with my team and my Muslim boss to much hilarity.

Very few of them do.

Ambulance came about 6.30? Sat him up and his BP dropped through the floor so gave him IV fluids and took him to hospital via ambulance.

bladder retention so trying to figure out why but his condition can affect bladder so may be nerve and the resulting collapse a result of that.

he has come colour now and can sit up without passing out!

DuncinToffee · 19/02/2026 10:11

Happy birthday to the guy formerly known as prince,
