Whatever happened to Free Speech in England?@SurreyPolice Sad news report tonight - if true - i was brought up believing “sticks & stones may break my bones …..” Should still be true, but sadly seems to have gone with so much other common-sense. Please get back to real Policing.

@euromove @LordKirkhope Oh come on - we all know ERDF was just giving us back our own money less a hefty “buyer’s premium”. The EU did/does good work on many fronts, but this is a spin too far !

RT @BenGoldsmith: Governments can do a lot, but it is a pernicious lie that they can fix *any* issue, from stopping a highly infectious respiratory virus, to creating economic growth, to ending ‘hate’. Perhaps if we expected a little less of our governments people might be less angry all the time?
