@JamieDriscollNE The Labour Mayor blocked me presumably because I supported you... A Labour Mayor means higher knife crime and violence down in London so people should expect to see something similar up here now.

'Labour sources' blaming 'Hamas' for its poor performance in 'Muslim', 'Asian areas'. Really? Rather, yet another not so subliminal racist, Islamophobic take, from Labour's baby bombing supporters I'd say.

@MayorJD Petition for political reform -

Petition: Ban all private funding for political parties and fund through taxation

We think banning private funding for political parties would bring true democracy and rebuild Britain to serve all the people. We think that political parties should be funded only through tax,...
