Detaining people for shouting republican slogans, even if they do so in a deliberately coarse and provocative way, is utterly un-British.
I worry that our police are becoming more authoritarian and - worse - that a section of the public is cheering them on.

RT @british_north: Brilliance by @DanielJHannan:
“That is what a constitutional monarch is: a military commander who is not a general, a head of state who is not a politician, a focus for national loyalty who is above ideology and beyond faction.” #MapleCrown #cdnpoli

@andrew_lilico @AllisonPearson In early 1945, the more cynical Japanese could be heard remarking that "our glorious victories seem to be happening closer and closer to Tokyo".

Suppose you're a Russian general. You're watching this stuff, and you're getting a pretty good sense of whom Putin will blame in defeat. Are you going to sit back and wait to be arrested, or try to install a less deranged regime?

Ladies and gentlemen, Canada's next prime minister, the brilliant and patriotic @PierrePoilievre.
RT @TrueNorthCentre: "They don't need a government that sneers at them and calls them names. They don't need a government to run their lives. They need a government that can run a passport office,” @PierrePoilievre says in his victory speech. #cdnpoli

In Britain, Ireland is seen as a close friend, almost as a family member, and for the most obvious of reasons, namely that so many of us (including me) have Irish connections. The regrettable sentiment described here is almost entirely one way.

RT @DanielJHannan: More Britons lost their lives on 11 September 2001 than in any other single terrorist attack. Remember them along with all the victims.

The Speaker promised to wear his wig on formal occasions. If not today, when?

Lots of media angst about the fact that the Rightist bloc in Sweden's election contains the Sweden Democrats. None about the fact that the Leftist bloc contains a communist party (its youth bloc openly uses that word) which wants to scrap private property.
Who are the extremists?

Should have taken these terms before the latest Ukrainian offensive. Now the price has risen.
🇩🇪 The Köningsberg exclave to Germany
🇬🇧 Rostov and Voronezh to the UK (to teach Sergei Lavrov not to be rude to British foreign ministers)
Leave it longer and the price will rise again.

@davidfrum Plus handing over the men wanted in connection with the Litvinenko and Skripal murders. Oh, and Russia should give up sovereignty over Rostov and Voronezh - to teach Sergei Lavrov to mind his manners around British foreign secretaries.

The late Roger Scruton expressed the paradox eloquently when he likened the magic of monarchy to the enchanting light from the top of a Christmas tree, which the British people perfectly well remembered having climbed up and placed there themselves.

The case for a constitutional monarchy. It legitimises the government, ennobles the core functions of the state and, when the chips are down, prevents civil war. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2022/09/10/no-coincidence-successful-democracies-constitutional-monarchies1/

Maybe it would mollify Joe Biden if the PM called herself by her first and married names: Mary O’Leary.
