📕 With a shared passion for books and a deep commitment to children reading for pleasure, The Queen and author J.K. Rowling have met at the Palace of Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh.
Her Majesty and Ms Rowling discussed the importance of ensuring that young people have access to books and the vital part reading plays in opening doors for future generations.
I think you are reading into religion too much. The Torah is the word of God and the law of Judaism. Think of it like the US Constitution. It is the basic laws and tenets. The Talmud is the written opinions of scholarly Rabbis who have studied the Torah on how they interpret the laws. It’s the same as published case law interpretations of the Constitution. Now as long as you stay within the basic boundaries; a large majority is unaffected by the Talmud (the same with US law.)
It really depends upon how religious one is as to how the laws of any religion affect you. BTW, Jesus is not mentioned in the Talmud. There’s theories by zealots who think he is referred to by one name or other names but there no definitive proof. You believe what you want and grab ahold of whatever “proof” you think justifies your beliefs (or make it up) to satisfy yourself.
It’s like your friend with the andrenochrome obsession. She’s read too much into Hunter S Thompson’s book and political crazy websites who need to debase others to make themselves seem justified.
I thank you for ceasing the preaching.
Socially transitioning a child at 2.5yrs is as clear a case of Trans Munchausen by proxy as it’s possible to get
This boy has been abused by his parents, aided and abetted by clinicians
If Cass thinks the doctors who harmed him can now help him, she’s lying to herself
@NewYorker What’s the job ad? “WANTED: Islamists to pretend to want peace and come into my community and map it out for attack before returning to rape, torture, and murder everyone. References required. Two weeks holiday and benefits.”

Israel’s ban on Palestinian workers has left families hungry and parents unable to pay for their children’s school fees. Still, the ban is being justified in the name of security, and shows no signs of abating.

🚨Major admission by @pressfreedom. CPJ is finally conducting a full review of its Gaza “journalist” fatality database after Hamas & PIJ themselves exposed many listed “journalists” as their own fighters. Israel said this all along and Hamas/PIJ's own martyr notices proved it.
@GadSaad He’s been ahead of the curve on so much, I pray he’s wrong on this. Yet not only are we stuck with a political and media and institutional culture blind and inactive to the coming crisis, they’re still striving to make the problem worse.

I hate to say this but please hear me out. For decades, I have made a daily Herculean effort to warn people about the dangers facing the West. My goal was to ensure that any auto-corrective process meant to address the problems would be a peaceful one. I fear that this window has closed. Prepare for astounding violence. It may not come tomorrow, next week, next month, or next year. But it is coming. Save this post.
“The premise of my article was women’s sex based rights are important & you can have all the other rights you want but you can’t take away these rights & the ABC refused to publish my article saying I was inaccurate which is ironic as they’re the ones claiming men can be women.”
This is really important from Family barrister Sarah Phillimore. No one in government has thought about how Labour's Section 28 affects the Family Courts or what that means for families.
Thank you @Jebadoo2 for highlighting the risk of the Conversion Practices draft bill on parents - not merely in the criminal courts but in family court too.
There has been so far no attempt to calculate the financial impact of this. The emotional impact of course will be vast and cannot be measured in money.
There are 339 local authorities in England and Wales with a statutory duty to bring care proceedings when child at risk of significant harm. Parents are represented separately in these proceedings and get automatic legal aid. The child also has a Guardian and a lawyer, again paid by legal aid.
Care proceedings are supposed to finish in 6 months but many don’t. There will be at least three court hearings, if a contested final hearing is needed that could be anything between 3 - 25 days.
It is also possible to remove children on an interim basis if the harm is sufficiently serious. If there are no family members willing or able to take in the children, foster care or residential care is needed, at enormous cost and in the face of a nationwide crisis in lack of foster carers.
Let’s say each LA gets about five new cases a year if this bill becomes law. It could of course be a lot more. That’s 1,695 new sets of care proceedings. 5,086 adults to be funded through six months or more of legal proceedings.
Say 20% of those involve 2 children being removed at interim stage - complainant child and a younger sibling. That’s 339 children requiring alternative care.
This is huge. The Government better get its calculator out.
'This is going to be terrifying for parents!'
Barrister Dennis Kavanagh warns that Labour's Conversion Practices Bill could see parents, teachers, and doctors jailed for up to five years if they do not use pronouns or or new names for LGBT people.
