The testimony of Sam Brown, one of the many Jimmy Savile victims, is one of the most powerful I've heard. It will stay with me for a very long time. Anyone that either does not (or choses to not) understand the magnitude of the effects of childhood sexual abuse needs to hear it.
'Let me be counted among the citizens of the world who own no barriers of race or nation, whose hopes are set on the golden age of universal fraternity we believe to come.'

Five wonderful sisters. I feel blessed when I think of them. Gillian the brilliant and brave, Janice - @JaniceCelebrant the strong and kind, Penny the lovely eco warrior and hunt sab, Julie the incredibly talented and loving, and Louise the wise and compassionate. I am so lucky

Compassion wins. Well done Austria. From Saturday, terminally ill or incurably suffering adults will be able to make provisions for a legal assisted death. UK politicians should take note. Our law remains outdated, unpopular, and inhumane.

Kanye West condemns #MeToo movement as ‘Nineteen Eighty-Four mind control’ and makes anti-Semitic remarks. Remind me again what the relevance of this fool is other than he’s obscenely rich?

1/3 https://t.co/LN9q2qIbBQ is so painful. I knew Nevres well back in the day, when her beautiful daughter was tiny, and can not begin to imagine the pain she is in. Back in 1980, I recall being so very shocked when a feminist friend told me about growing up in a village outside
Edinburgh and it being common knowledge that the local butcher would give free meat to the undertaker in return for giving him access to the bodies of women in the mortuary. Nothing was ever done to report them. They were simply seen as 'perverts'. Is there anything left that men
have yet to discover that they can do to women and girls to debase, torture and abuse us? What this man did would be unimaginable if it were not for the fact that so many enjoy choking and otherwise causing pain to women as part of their sexual gratification. Absolute bastards.
David Fuller is one of the most extreme murder and necrophile offenders in UK history. Yet men feel compelled to say publicly ‘what does it matter most of them were dead’. It matters that women and children are not even safe in death. https://t.co/tGGqztGS9a
We're warning schools and families about the insidious evangelical purpose behind the Operation Christmas Child shoebox appeal. The scheme is run by homophobic evangelical fundamentalists who seek to convert extremely vulnerable children. RT

“Female athletes have spoken out against uniform double standards numerous times. Women are required to wear more revealing outfits in several sports, including track and field, beach volleyball and tennis.”https://t.co/n4qZzOw7i8
The academented (as the brilliant Mary Daly coined) that have targeted Kathleen Stock and a number of other feminists clearly do not give a damn about the students that are hungry for real feminism as opposed to the vacuous ‘gender studies’ shite currently spouted in universities
