You were warned that your language would have far reaching consequences. You instead ignored that warning and doubled down on it. Your second sentence is especially telling.
I condemn the appalling disorder in Knowsley last night. The alleged behaviour of some asylum seekers is never an excuse for violence and intimidation. Thank you to @merseypolice officers for keeping everyone safe.

Ok. If your intention is to come to the theatre, get rat-arsed, make a scene, disrupt the show thus causing a show-stop? My advice is stay your ass at home. People pay to come to the theatre to be entertained, not to endure your foolishness. Done.

I returned from holiday to find parts of Britain on fire. Violence fuelled and fanned by racist troll farms, and the likes of Farage Fox and Robinson. Who handed them the matches? The previous government. Braveman, Boris, et al. The fish rots from the head.

The caller on @lbc right right now talking to @mrjamesob is a lucid, honest and clear account of the corruption that infests the current government. A former civil servant, sacked because he believed in upholding high standards in office. Wow.

Listening to @mrjamesob and @Otto_English discussing the son of our monarch paying an obscene amount of money to silence his accuser. No matter how you slice this, it’s foul. Any “route back to public life” for such a man has been rightly met with the derision it deserves.

Three zeros after the decimal point? Incorrect use of “it’s”? .Also what’s the context? “Overspending” over the period of a month? A year? Is it comparable to the amount wiped off the value of the £ in the 48 hours post the mini budget? 🙄.

There is nothing about @KemiBadenoch’s comments that surprise me. Arguing that the wishes of a man who seeks to harm another human because of their race and sex, and all look like her is “trivia” is right on the money for her own self hatred.
Kemi Badenoch to LBC on Frank Hester row…. “It’s trivia, it really is”. “We need to get to a place where we stop chasing people around & looking everywhere for the racism”. “Everybody is accusing, and counter accusing around racism”. @LBC @NickFerrariLBC.

The all-consuming fear, the wicked judgements pronounced on sufferers around the world, the stigma, the indifference to the deaths until AIDS spread beyond the gay communities. We have made enormous progress but we still have a way to go. #ItsASin.
It’s A Sin is sparking many conversations about the AIDS crisis & its devastating impact. While the HIV response is firmly in the spotlight, here’s a thread about what’s improved since the dark days of #ItsASin – as well as what urgently still needs to.
