@sailorviolet92 @jillcb7 @betsvigi9 @GriffynTor @SVPhillimore Not if I have anything to do with it. Gay rights did not come about because "old people died". They came about because people worked hard to make it the norm. All ages and (mostly all) political persuasions.

@jruddy99 You're right. It's not a tough call - if they don't have to sell their home for social care. Is that your guarantee?

What parent doesn't know if their children are even alive?
In the past 10 days, two care experienced people have died. But the FM has no means of knowing that, we have asked the government three times if they will track and publish this information. #fmqs

I trust Wings. I used to trust the @theSNP
I've donated.

We're live. If you care about the principle that justice should apply to everyone in Scotland equally, please contribute if you can to our fundraiser to bring a judicial review of the refusal to investigate the indyref donations misappropriated by the SNP. https://t.co/FDSwq9PTjy

Day 3 of Peggie v RCN. It really was quite something...

This man brought the receipts! He called out Melissa Ewing, a board member of the Peoria Unified School Board district. She claimed she hadn’t seen any incidents of transgender bathroom policies endangering children. After he destroyed her, she claimed she was referring to government data and tried to recover. She couldn’t!

Lads, the women are saying “NO”…

That’s your cue to sod off.

It’s really simple.

What kind of socialist protests against women organising collectively within their own political party?

[Mark in California @Charles95684721]

Dating and sex are two areas where you are allowed to discriminate for any reason you want. The fact that some people don’t get this is very concerning.

"But the SNP leadership has literally nothing left but its vindictiveness. Not credibility. Not ideas. Not even self respect."

My son was casually threatened with a detention at school the other day if he "did that again" for innocently saying BC (dates before the birth of Christ in the historical record) instead of BCE (a shorthand of the modern historian and educator trendy term 'Before Common Era' that has been aggressively pushed in English state schools since around 2015/16).

He did this because he used the summer holiday to read several long since oublished history books that were staples of secondary history education for a long time in order to be prepared for his first year at secondary school.

He's Christian but we are not a zealously religious family. We're pretty relaxed and my son's mother is Buddhist by birth and upbringing in East Asia. He would be happy to use either interchangeably. But as he said, why can't he use a commonly recognised term in society if he chooses?

I personally think changing BC/AD to BCE/CE is pointless and arguably quite offensive to Christians rather than being "inclusive", but it's not in of itself the end of the world to me.

I don't care if people want to use it themselves. It's fine. It's their right to. I just don't like the attempt at mandatory imposition of it on others, especially in the educational sphere.

It is the principle of being threatened with a sanction for using a term that has been widely used for millennia that frustrates me deeply. It is an abuse of power.

It just shows what a madcap education system we live in.

For now I am leaving it alone as it was a comment made in passing and nothing happened, but if they do try to discipline him if he does so again, I will be in touch with the school and the governing board about it. It's unacceptable.

They tell you there is no indoctrination or compelled speech in education. They tell you there is no threat to freedom of speech and belief. But there absolutely is.

It's SO hard standing up for women's rights in the face of hostility & disapproval. So much respect for @hollowood_zoe & @LibVoice4Women 🫡

[suzanne moore @suzanne_moore]

I stay on X because this is the place that alerts me every day to women's rights being dismantled. Whether it's Harringay Greens trying to dispense with single sex spaces or Bimbo Hill Walker Rory Stewart not understanding grooming gangs as huge ongoing issue. The word women cannot even be said. Neither seen nor heard.

[Mark Hirst @Documark]

The graves of my close family members (and other families) have been desecrated by @PersimmonHomes who have built a development right up against the wall of the Eastfield Cemetery in Dundee, leading to the collapse of the wall onto the graves, damaging the headstones.

5 close members of my family are buried here and to say I am angry about it is a serious understatement.

Perhaps time @scotgov established a housing developer regulator to control these rogue operators.

Please retweet.

@MhairiHunter he’s so right here Mhari and you ignore these warnings at your party’s peril. You’ve thrown independence oot the windae and you’re not even willing to take stock and see where it’s got you.
Hell mend you all.

@MhairiHunter @gjweir2wfy5 And people like me, from what I would call a realistic pragmatic centre left tradition, which incidentally the SNP was once full of, are very pissed off by the modern identitarian left’s self indulgent surrender of material reality as a touchstone of policy consideration.

This is my reply to MP Samantha Niblett which led to her blocking me just moments ago.

I will leave it to you to work out who is speaking sense….

[Sara @SeeRedWoman1]

@SexMattersOrg @thecourieruk @DvdHmltn has been so consistent on this. Good man.
