Let me guess, Mr Gibson of the SNP !

There’s something very wrong in the political system when you email a politician outlining concerns about the impact of gender identity on women’s sports, single sex spaces, and distressed young women who are medicalised and harmed by ‘taking T’, and the politician’s response says thanks for your communication but I disagree with you, Trans people should have equal rights. To be clear - at no point did I suggest trans people should not have equal rights. So - I replied saying absolutely trans people should have equal rights and then reiterated my original points but there’s no reply. It’s like an iron door is closed, like to question or raise concerns is to expose Superman to kryptonite and so this cannot be allowed.

Yes, unless they've worked and paid full NIC for 15 years.

@vpopulimedia 3-5 years for a throwing a traffic cone is wild when Hamid Safi, a Rochdale child rape gang member, only received 4 years.

This is how disposable white lives are to them.

This lot really don't like being held accountable - do they?

I won't back down, no matter how much they shout.

I keep hearing the left say that Robert Kenyon is ‘just a plumber’ and therefore he is not suitable to be a politician. But the same people think this plumber would make the perfect politician… right?

@scotgov @JohnSwinney Maybe stop taking brown envelopes off land owners and developers in exchange to let them build over old mine works

[Steven Barrett @SBarrettBar]

Once again they have politicised the giving and withholding of bail

The criminal justice system is corrupt.

Shabana Mahmood Called George Floyd's Death An Unspeakable Outrage. She Called Henry Nowak's A Political Grandstanding Opportunity.

On June 4th 2020, four days after George Floyd died in Minneapolis, Shabana Mahmood wrote to her constituents. She described his death as an unspeakable outrage. She shared the anger of the Black Lives Matter movement. She condemned Donald Trump in the strongest possible terms. She pledged to ensure Black voices are heard at the heart of our democracy. She signed it with a Black Lives Matter hashtag.

This week Shabana Mahmood stood at the despatch box and told the House of Commons there must be no two tier policing. She said the police have a sacred duty to act without fear or favour. She warned that anyone using Henry Nowak's murder to stoke division should be rejected.

Henry Nowak died on December 3rd 2025. Mahmood said nothing for days. The Commons Speaker had to order the government to make a statement. When she finally spoke she described the national outcry as political grandstanding and accused those naming the problem of stoking division.

Four days after George Floyd died she had already written to her constituents. Four days after Henry Nowak's killer was convicted she had to be ordered to speak by the Speaker of the House.

The letter she wrote in 2020 is worth reading carefully because it is the most precise document available for understanding what happened this week. She writes that her work deeply reflects the cause for social and racial justice. She writes that she will carry on working to ensure Black voices are heard at the heart of our democracy. She writes that she wants her work to continue to be reflective of black and ethnic minority experiences in Birmingham.

Not all voices. Black voices. Not all experiences. Black and ethnic minority experiences. That is the Home Secretary who told Parliament this week there must be no two tier policing. Her own letter is a precise description of two tier political engagement. One standard applied to George Floyd. A different standard applied to Henry Nowak.

The progressive institutional machinery was operational within hours of Floyd's death. The hashtag was ready. The language was ready. The political network was ready. Mahmood's letter was part of that machinery. It was produced within four days because the machinery runs automatically when the case fits the framework. Black Lives Matter had been founded in 2013. By 2020 it had dozens of local chapters, a global network, corporate donors worth hundreds of millions of dollars and political allies embedded across every major Western government. When Floyd died every node of that network activated simultaneously. Mahmood's letter was one activation among millions.

Henry Nowak's case does not fit the framework. His killer used the progressive framework as the murder weapon. His case does not vindicate the ideology of anti-racism training. It exposes it. And the Home Secretary whose entire political career has been built around that ideology found herself at the despatch box this week condemning its most visible consequence while declining to name its cause.

She wrote in 2020 that she would ensure Black voices are heard at the heart of our democracy. She has kept that promise. The question Henry Nowak's family is entitled to ask is which voices were heard at the heart of the institutions that trained the officers who handcuffed their son. The Hampshire Race Action Plan. The NPCC guidance. The College of Policing practice bank. The Metropolitan Police neutrality myth. All of it built by the same political framework Mahmood has spent her career advancing.

There must be no two tier policing. She is right. The letter she wrote in 2020 explains precisely why there is.

This prick doesn’t think kids’ brains are developed enough to be criminally culpable, until they’re 25

But he thinks they ARE developed enough in their teens or earlier to decide to get their tits or cock & balls removed

[Alex Phillips @ThatAlexWoman]

A serious country does not swap its greatest leader on its banknotes for little animals

Imagine India ditching Gandhi for a monkey. Or the USA dropping Washington for a racoon

This is the rot that is eating away at our confidence, identity and cohesion:

Bank dropped Churchill after being told he was ‘elitist’

The people that donated to the ring fenced fund were donating to a indyref campaign that might end in Scottish independence
They were not donating to election campaigns to see more SNP grifters board the gravy bus
The donations were not used for the purpose they were given.

[Michelle Dewberry @MichelleDewbs]

I like this🙏🏻

I feel sad for decent Sikhs who have been dragged into disrepute, due to the actions of a murderer.

Not withstanding that, I also think the time has come to rule that nobody should be able to wander the streets with a sharp dagger. Irrespective of their belief system.

BREAKING 🚨: A newly elected Reform UK council in Merseyside has cancelled all refugee week events, and demanded any money already spent on it is returned back to the council

[Mrs Ronald Raccoon @CentralReserva9]

Apparently, 3 police officers who attended Henry Nowak immediately returned to work & are still serving officers.
If it were me & I learned I'd done nothing to help an innocent dying teenager, I'd be on the floor, a gibbering wreck.

Straight back to work, tells me everything

So far today I’ve been called a seedy cunt, a wanking grifter, a poof, a shitty poof, Mr Humphries (sic), a bumboy and an ugly bumboy.
All before breakfast.
Happy Pride month folks. 🌈
