@frenthegeordie @msjlindsay I agree as do most sane and sensible people, not in the grip of an ideology.

[Susan Garnsworthy @GarnsworthSusan]

@joannaccherry I agree..

[Susan Garnsworthy @GarnsworthSusan]

@msjlindsay I agree. Those of us who regard sex as immutable, defined by our chromosomes, are concerned by how many men just go with the " trans" view without understanding its implications for women and our rights.

(I should've said earlier, but I was spitting angry then had a meeting, thank you @TessWhite4NE, for once again showing leadership on freedom in the arts, and challenging the idea that my entirely ordinary core beliefs are in any way worthy of censorship by arts workers...Sheesh)

Jeffrey Epstein’s best friend—per Epstein’s own words on tape—is heading back to the White House. And the cable news and major papers didn’t even think that was a worthy story to report on.

@ripx4nutmeg This is simply dreadful. How can a man be allowed to be part if a women team ? FA get your house in order.

[Susan Garnsworthy @GarnsworthSusan]

@BBCWorld It's appalling. No words to express the horror of it. We have to say, This is wrong and its genocide by the Israelis against Palestinians.

[Susan Garnsworthy @GarnsworthSusan]

I definitely agree. This is how an inhumane regime takes over.

[Tom London @TomLondon6]

In a world of victims and executioners, it is the job of thinking people, as Albert Camus said, not to be on the side of the executioners

[Jenny Lindsay @msjlindsay]

I've been v busy of late! It's reminding me of what it was like having actual employment. (😆) A pleasure today to talk with @alexmassie & Bernard Ponsonby for their podcast, about the lit and political culture that has created houndings and allowed them to flourish.
Out Sun!

[Marina Purkiss @MarinaPurkiss]

A huge outpouring of grief across social media for what we’re witnessing in the Middle East…

And yet this doesn’t tally at all with our national press

…why?

[Tom London @TomLondon6]

The SILENCE from most (not all) intellectuals, academics, authors, artists, actors, comedians, musicians and others is DISGUSTING and SHAMEFUL

[SALTIRE SOCIETY @Saltire_Society]

Very sorry to hear of the sudden death of Alex Salmond, former FM & recipient of our Fletcher of Saltoun Award with Donald Dewar & Jim Wallace. Passionate about culture and history, he spoke on our 80th anniversary on 'Inspiring Scotland'. Our condolences to his family & friends.

So what we all saw – and what Israel and the media kept telling us wasn't happening – was exactly what was happening.

But now, of course, it's too late: Gaza's health care system is gone.

[Robert Lindsay @RobertLindsay]

Can anyone explain how this will bring back the hostages and in the name of self defence?

[State of Palestine @Palestine_UN]

“My government does not kill Israelis…Your government killed 42,000 Palestinians.”

Watch Amb. Dr. Riyad Mansour respond to Israeli ambassador at the Security Council.

[ADAM @AdameMedia]

Don’t you see who the bad guys are?

Don’t you see who the oppressed is?

It’s literally right in front of our eyes.

A few years ago, I visited a rape crisis centre, to find out more about the work that they do to help survivors.
It was an amazing place, run by some really dedicated women.
But when I was there they said something that at the time really shocked me.
They told me that they don’t advise women and girls who have been raped or sexually assaulted to go to court. Obviously they’ll support them if they do decide that they want to pursue a criminal case. But they don’t specifically advise them to do so.
I was really surprised. Why wouldn’t you want to get justice for these awful crimes? So I asked them why.
And they told me – look – the court process is really traumatic. You could wait years. You could be victim blamed in court. You could be re-traumatised. And then after all that… you might not get justice at the end of it. They might get off.
They told me that knowing all that…they can’t hand on heart tell victims that putting your faith in the British justice system is necessarily the right thing to do.
I got it then, I understood it.
It’s pretty depressing, though, isn’t it?
Because the result is victims not getting justice… and rapists…well… it means rapists getting away with it, doesn’t it?
Today on the show we’re taking a long hard look at how the justice system is dealing with sexual violence.
A new report by the Criminal Bar Association shows survivors of rape and sexual assault are among those waiting the longest for their cases to be heard – leading to PTSD and suicidal thoughts.
It takes on average TWO YEARS to get a trial from the point of charge… and some of course are having to wait even longer.
We're focusing on this very powerful report by our correspondent Ashna Hurynag:
