I'll never understand why these people celebrate removing their own right to free movement. Everyone else in Europe still has an entire continent to call home.

After many years of campaigning, I am delighted the Immigration Bill which will end free movement on 31st December has today passed through Parliament. We are delivering on the will of the British people.

Somebody clever, not me, decided there were 2 sorts of leaders. Baboons, who grab power for its own sake and for what they can personally get out of it and elephants, who lead for the benefit of the whole group. – at Islington, London

Seen any beautiful goals in the world cup yet? Speakers of languages written left-to-right perceive goals as stronger, faster, and more beautiful if the goal is scored from left to right. Opposite for speakers of languages written right-to-left. psycnet.apa.org/record/2007-…

We lost the #Challenger crew #OTD 32 years ago, I was not an astronaut then, but it reinforced that we only have one life and we should strive to do something meaningful to each of us with that life

Here's how democracy works, everyone: you are elected. You can watch as much porn as you like. You cannot be "sacked" because you are elected. That's our system. You can be removed by electors at the next election if they don't like porn. Anything else is not democracy.
