Gut wrenching to see four young people jailed for direct action against an arms supplier to Israel.
Years in prison for protesting to save lives in Gaza, with 'terrorism' used despite no jury convicting them of it.
A truly dangerous attack on the right to protest.

@MrHreviews Hate to think what he would have done to them had she not had those weapons. Almost makes you consider if the disarmament of the population is actually done with that in mind.
@PunishedUsurper@JPlayBased@sadjazzwxtch People generally do not want to die. The fact that it takes him so long is actually substantially more realistic than the alternative.
"Scotland is a welcoming nation" man who must not speak to Scottish people outside of the bypass. Honestly even within the bypass go to Niddrie, Muirhouse or Sighthill and find out how welcoming they are.
The scenes we saw in Glasgow, Edinburgh and Ayr last night are unacceptable.
Scotland is a welcoming nation and those who choose to make their lives here are valued members of our communities.
Racism, hatred and intimidation have no place in Scotland. We must stand against it.
@SaulStaniforth Damn that's rough for her, but on the plus side at least she wasn't gang raped by Pakistanis because then you really wouldn't have cared about her.
Crime is now being viewed through an entirely racialised lens – but only when the perpetrators aren't white.
When Chas Corrigan stabbed a Saudi student to death, or Paul Doyle mowed down Liverpool fans, white people didn't have to fear being a target of collective retaliation.
Politicians who fanned these flames should hang their heads in shame.
Time and again we've seen this story play out. Single incidents used to fuel a far right narrative - and communities across the nation paying the price.
@BridgetteWest I can entirely understand the decision made even if I don't agree with it. But I don't owe them compassion. They made the choice and they can live with it. They don't have compassion for the baby they killed they are sad that they don't have the child they wanted.
I’ve never seen such hate and vitriol for two people grieving the loss of their unborn child and making an impossible decision.
The last 24 hours have exposed a side of humanity that is deeply disturbing. Being called “murderous pieces of shit, evil, compared to Hitler” and receiving NON-STOP DEATH THREATS.
Seeing my 6-year old dog with Stage 4 Kidney Disease be used as a weapon, manipulating my words and intent in a tweet or saying we’ll regret this decision forever and must repent to God is absolute insanity.
If you ever wanted to marvel at the depravity of people online, just check the replies on my latest tweet. It’s a shit-show of epic proportions. This is reflective of the current world and landscape we’re all living in.
What’s more troubling is a lot of these people use God or Jesus as their justification for threatening us and wanting to cast us into Hell…seems pretty hypocritical.
So many saying they would’ve kept the child, put it up for adoption or are suddenly ready to adopt a down syndrome child, that’s great! You can do all those things. However, many of the people throwing stones don’t even have children, let alone one with a condition and most likely will never do the things they say they’re going to do.
There has been some heinous shit said about my wife and I on some extremely large accounts…It baffles me that there are such trashy-ass people who have significant followings. If you can’t contribute anything meaningful to the conversation aside from insults then just don’t post.
On the other hand, there has been tremendous stories of people who kept their Down Syndrome baby and that’s awesome! Very courageous and they do look very happy! That is your choice and I support it. This was ours and we can do that. It’s very easy to accept the differences between us when it has no actual bearing on your life.
What shocked me most of all was that this story has become mainstream news…A couple’s abortion is suddenly newsworthy in 2026…?
There are over 1,000,000 abortions every single year for a myriad of reasons, this is happening on a DAILY BASIS and is the most common outcome for Trisomy 21, yet this one blows up and people are surprised…?
The reason this blew up is quite simple: IT’S BECAUSE NOBODY TALKS ABOUT IT.
I can’t blame people for not talking about these vulnerable experiences publicly because you see the disgusting backlash that ensues. It’s very divisive. Luckily, after 20 years on the Internet, this is par the course for me taking on the crazies, so I’m glad I can help further the conversation.
That’s exactly why I wanted to share this story. People still need to see vulnerability and hear the raw truth. There is real suffering going on and it is being done in silence and fear.
So many mothers have reached out privately commending us on our bravery to speak truthfully about this topic and we really appreciate that support! We want you to feel less alone in this and less ashamed.
There has never been a more important time to speak up and out about the things that matter. Do not let the vocal minority stop you from sharing your truth.
To those who have been affected by this or are confronted with a similar situation in the future, we have your back and please feel free to reach out. I’m sure this will follow us awhile especially when we try for a kid again in the near future.

@rwlesq@koshitantankohi@also_psyche I would assume that you don't, because pragmatically it's still illegal. But if it's not immoral, and pragmatic reasons aside, why would you not go around doing it?
@rwlesq@koshitantankohi@also_psyche So as I understand your 'morality' killing puppies is not immoral because they not only having been around long enough for people to develop attachments but they would not be conscious enough to object to the idea of being killed.
You'll note that he doesn't call them out for using identity politics, I mean how could he be that's his whole thing. He's specifically against them doing it for white people.
Like most Tories, I flirted with voting Reform UK. I nearly voted for them in 2024. I’ve called for @LdnConservative to work with @policylaila to kick Khan out of @MayorofLondon and argued for the right to unite where it can.
But somewhere between becoming a retirement home for failed Tory politicians like @SuellaBraverman and @RobertJenrick, putting forward underwhelming candidates like @RobKenyonReform and @GoodwinMJ, and @nigel_farage and @ZiaYusufUK embracing identity politics for white people, Reform seems to have lost its edge.
What made Reform interesting in 2024 was that it felt like a genuine insurgency. Now it increasingly feels like just another political tribe with a grievance agenda.
For the sake of my friends in the party, I hope they rediscover what made them compelling in the first place.
They were an interesting proposition in 2024. Much less interesting now. Simultaneously, the @Conservatives have become a much more interesting proposition. Much of this is down to @KemiBadenoch, keep up the good work 👍
@Katie_Lam_MP I think the death of an innocent white lad is actually a legitimate grievance. I think the mass rape of white girls by foreigners is a legitimate grievance. Doing it your way, allowed this to happen. We are not going back.
"Annabel Rook, a dedicated charity worker who supported refugee and migrant women through art and drama, was remembered as a vibrant, optimistic soul whose self-esteem was eroded by years of emotional abuse."
Controlling Partner Stabbed Girlfriend 31 Times & Tried To Blow Up Home In London.
Clifton George, a 45-year-old electrician, has been found guilty of the brutal murder of his partner of 10 years, Annabel Rook, 46, the compassionate charity co-founder and daughter of a respected retired Old Bailey judge.
What began as an argument over ending their troubled relationship on June 16, 2025, escalated into murder at their terraced home in Stoke Newington, north London.
George punched, strangled, and stabbed Annabel over 30 times with a kitchen knife, with one wound piercing her heart, before starting a fire that triggered a gas explosion, destroying the £1.4 million property and shaking the neighbourhood like a mini earthquake.
Annabel Rook, a dedicated charity worker who supported refugee and migrant women through art and drama, was remembered as a vibrant, optimistic soul whose self-esteem was eroded by years of emotional abuse.
Jurors at Snaresbrook Crown Court heard a voice note Annabel sent to a friend just weeks before her death. In it, she described George's explosive temper over something as trivial as uncleaned knives: "I can't not make him angry, it's always going to happen. For me it just feels too volatile. I just know in my gut it's not right."
She spoke of treading on eggshells, his shouting, and accusations of her being a liar.
In the weeks leading up to the killing, Annabel had confided in her sister about a trial separation. She forwarded messages where George dismissed it as temporary. She even sought legal advice about the house she had bought before their relationship began.
Her father, retired judge Peter Rook, recalled a family holiday where George flew into a rage, shaking and shouting at Annabel in front of everyone. "Nothing seemed to pacify him," he told the court.
Prosecutors described how, during a confrontation about their future, George punched Annabel repeatedly, tried to strangle her, grabbed a knife from the kitchen, and stabbed her relentlessly. She fell to her knees with her hands raised. George later admitted seeing in her eyes that she was dead.
He claimed it was a loss of self-control after she pushed his head back and brought up his traumatic childhood. In court, he described attacking her with three or four punches, strangling her, then the stabbing. He said he believed it was only four or five times, but the post-mortem revealed it was actually 31 times.
After the murder, George tried to take his own life, cutting his wrists, taking medication and whisky, and then engineering the gas explosion in the basement using a canister from their garden pizza oven. The blast hurled him across the house but failed to kill him. Neighbours reported the enormous explosion that destroyed much of the property.
George pleaded guilty to manslaughter and arson but denied murder. The jury rejected his defence after just two-and-a-half hours of deliberation, convicting him of murder this week. He now faces a life sentence and is due to be sentenced on Monday, June 9, at Snaresbrook Crown Court.
As sentencing approaches, the Rook family mourns a beloved daughter and sister whose light was extinguished in a moment of unchecked rage. Annabel's work supporting vulnerable women continues, a fitting legacy for a woman who tried to heal others while battling turmoil at home.

@SangitaMyska What terrifies me is if a sikh were to stab to death an innocent white man, who was then put under arrest by the police because he was white. Imagine the backlash against peaceful Sikhs?
