Poor fool.
As a late 50s balding man, decided to embrace it and had a grade one all over. When I got home I was told I "You look like a reform voter and have you put up a flag on your way home?" Gutted, but at least it will grow back.

My special interest is violin-making. I have strong opinions about every aspect of it and have long-running feuds with many successful makers. I can identify a Stainer a mile awaya. My favourite is the del Gesu 1733 ex Soil. I don't play and have never actually tried making one.

It has long been thus. As I said to a former writer pal who cut me off by citing the 'negativity' of it all, 'I'm very sorry the abuse I'm getting is really hard for you to witness while saying nothing.' https://t.co/f4j2xCntnS

"libertarian basis of our democracy" Our what basis of what now?
Islamist MPs really throwing their weight around tonight - promoting sectarian politics without an iota of understanding of fundamental libertarian basis of our democracy. This is shocking & dangerous - symptomatic of harmful priorities held by parallel communities in our midst.

Perhaps you can write to your MP and ask him to raise it with the Prime Minister?
This is the wrong decision. We will not tolerate antisemitism on our streets. The role of the police is to ensure all football fans can enjoy the game, without fear of violence or intimidation. https://t.co/8aBeqE4qbA
