I’m all for the right to protest but taking your kids doesn’t sit right with me. The clueless little blighter even has his school uniform on. Bless his little heart.

Tony Wilson x The Fall, “Big New Prinz”, 1988. Pure Northern Electricity. Tony Wilson introducing The Fall — “Big New Prinz” on the Other Side of Midnight, Granada Television, 1988. Manchester’s underground unleashed. Uncompromising. Unpredictable. Unmistakably The Fall.

I could feel like crying when I see what has become of John Cleese, a man who used to give every impression of having a sharp, questioning mind, but frankly I'm passed caring about him.

I feel like crying when I see this Sikh, who runs a really good restaurant, first being threatened by Halal fans, and then finding the British police backing the Halal fans instead of defending him This should never be happening in our country Vote Restore ! Have to go now, there's a knock at the door

Netanyahu Pushed for Attack on Iran Ahead of Israeli Election, Officials Say
