Anyone who cares about the right to protest in our democracy should be deeply concerned by this. Climate protesters,the Palestine movement, animal rights, anti-war, left, right, whether or not we agree with the reason for his protest, we ought all to be united in horror that a guy just got two years in prison for hurling an empty plastic bottle and some sweary words at a policeman. And they processed his punishment in under a week. This is police state territory. Very very frightening.

[Paul Embery @PaulEmbery]

The two-year prison sentence for Del Somerville, for the crime of throwing a plastic bottle and swearing at police during a protest against the small boats, is genuinely staggering. A blatant example of two-tier justice. It’s almost as if the authorities are deliberately attempting to provoke some sort of civil uprising.

Before illegal immigration came to Piddington, all these women would have called you racist for being concerned about it.

I see that Stella Creasy is accusing me of leading a pitchfork mob against her, because I opined that she is less likeable and more hypocritical than the wild parakeet she mistook for an escaped pet.

For those who don’t know, Creasy is an elected politician and self-proclaimed ‘old-fashioned feminist’ who is ‘still fighting the patriarchy’. She’s more than once publicly defined herself against me (and my reaction was not to accuse her of leading a mob, even though I was probably averaging a dozen death threats a day at the point when the article below appeared.)

I thought it might be instructive for those of us who don’t share Creasy’s brand of ‘feminism’ to examine her campaigning record, so we can learn to do better.

Creasy wants women admitted to the male-only, exclusive, London-based private members Garrick Club, a change that would benefit rather privileged women like Creasy. Creasy is a mother who wants better accommodations for working mothers, a change that would benefit Creasy. Creasy takes selfies at a men-only Muslim march because that reminds everyone how non-racist she is, which benefits Creasy. Creasy asserts that ‘trans women are women’, which keeps her in good odour with her party’s most aggressive activists, and benefits Creasy.

However, keeping cross-dressing heterosexual men out of nurses’ changing rooms doesn’t benefit Creasy, because Creasy has never had to mop up other people’s piss, blood and vomit at work. Challenging the notion that a male basketball player becomes a girl if he says he is doesn’t benefit Creasy, who has no sporting ambitions. Speaking up against the patriarchy as practised by non-white men doesn’t benefit Creasy, who wants those selfie-opportunities. Criticising an ideological movement that persecutes, harasses and openly threatens women who don’t believe some women have penises wouldn't benefit Creasy, because she's already fully-signed up to self-id, where any man who says he's a woman must be taken at his word.

As the late Gloria Steinem said: ‘“Feminism has never been about getting a job for one woman. It's about making life more fair for women everywhere.’

Creasy the patriarchy-challenger is provably more than happy to cosy up to men and misogynist movements when it suits her public profile and career advancement, no matter the harms those men might be causing less privileged women. By Steinem’s definition, what Stella espouses is not feminism, but Creasyism, and I suggest the emblem for this brave new rights movement should be an indignant parakeet with severely ruffled feathers.

@Ignatius55_ To be fair to S&M I used to be a partner in a small commercial law firm and I think 100% of the candidates we employed as trainee solicitors during the 3 years we had full control (pre merger) were ladies - more mature, more intelligent, simply better candidates 🤷‍♂️

Imagine growing up in absolute dirt poverty in east Tennessee, daughter of a tobacco farmer, going to school wearing rags your mother stitched into a coat, and when you die the British royal family has its military band play your up-the-workers country-pop anthem in tribute.

The Prime Minister @andyburnham announced that he’s giving British farmers £65 million of support. To put this in context, he’s given Pakistan £130 million this year.

In January of 2024, delivery driver Muhammad Faizan Khan dropped off groceries at a home in Glasgow. He then forced his way inside the residence and sexually assaulted the female homeowner so violently that she miscarried days later.

Let me be clear: this man invaded a woman’s home, pinned her up against a wall, and manually penetrated her so forcibly that he killed her baby.

They gave him 12 months.

The British government penalized angry tweets twice as harshly as the sexual assault of a pregnant woman and the violent murder of her unborn child.

There’s really nothing else to say.

[Alastair Hilton @London_W4]

I am having a drink this evening with a friend in a Chiswick pub. Two policemen have just come into the pub and asked me to step outside. I have stepped outside and they have threatened me because I tweeted about a councillor banning seating outside pubs in Chiswick. They admit on video (watch it!) that I did not break the law at all. They came to threaten me. To warn me off tweeting about councillors and the council. This is modern Britain. This is the police state. Please, please, please watch this video. It does involve me using very bad language, but this has got to be seen. Police coming out to threaten someone who hasn’t committed a crime. I’m fuming.

Afternoon so I have heard on the news that millions of 16-24 year olds are going to be unemployed and getting benefits ER now I am not a politician I am just a former boxer who is now trying to help people with mental Health & other issues but Why oh why doesn’t the benefits people make every 16-24 year old who does not have employment work at a charity or a gym so many hours a week get their attendance confirmed before they can have benefits it’s not quite national service but what a difference it would make.

Explain to me why you should be able to inherit a £3 million tenancy without paying inheritance tax but not a £3 million house your parents actually bought and paid for.
