Reform in Essex apparently banning Pride displays in libraries. I wonder whether Suffolk will follow suit...

I wonder how that works with the Human Rights and Equality Acts? I hope there’s a test case soon.

Agree. But another blot on mnhq's copy book imho.

So far it isn't going OP's way. At all.

Musk could really do with a lesson in unintended consequences.

Yes, his actions might end up being responsible for Burnham winning the by-election and then becoming PM.

It's looking very smudgy, at the moment and they don't care.

The thread has had very little traction, so hopefully will die a quiet and obscure death.

Piggywaspushed · 30/05/2026 10:51

Yes, this is why it needs to be ignored. Its easy to make it more active in the desire to argue back. It will annoy them more if no one bites.

Sorry. I couldn’t help myself. 🤦‍♀️

It appears Buckingham Palace were given controversial emails about Andrew’s financial dealings as UK trade envoy SIX YEARS before the rest of us saw them via the release of the Epstein files.

What did they do with them? 👇

The comments really show how unfashionable these loons are. A few trying to say the the Irish barman was "banning Inglerish people coz they is Ingerlish", with loads of Englisbh people saying how they haven't been banned, but that's probably because they aren't racist cunts.

This will happen more now given the poor murdered man was a pub owner.

It maybe worth highlighting again the existential differences between being British, and being European that are a product of geography.

The British Isles simply have no border with any hostile nation. It permeates our entire sense of self. And makes it difficult to appreciate he anxieties in countries and nations that do.

Farage isn't a repulsive racist, honest.

Farage must be really rattled, usually he’d be all over Makerfield, drinking pints in the local pub with an entourage of media dancing attendance. I wonder what Kenyon makes of his absence?
