@jk_rowling @IndiaWilloughby I’m not sure if it’s still the case - I’ve not heard otherwise - but according to a documentary in about 2007 or 2008, the only option for gay men was for them to ‘transition’ if they wanted to stay alive and out of the closet. Hardly a regime that respects human rights.

It’s so weird being Iranian right now, scrolling through my feed and seeing all my fellow Iranians praying for freedom, and seeing every white leftist & terror sympathizer praying the oppressor wins… “for humanity.”

@bindelj Totally agree. It’s a cynical move to cash in on Pride without donating to the organisation of the local march.

@Miss_Snuffy Teachers aren’t raising anyone else’s kids. They’re educating them in academic skills. Raising kids is the job of the parents.

@Variety On the left, Irish Band Kneecap the day after the October 7th massacre. A massacre of youngsters at a music festival. Yet they platformed their hatred at @coachella, a music festival.

Disgusting.

@manay44482466 @DanaErlich And looking at your posts, you’re an almighty antisemite.

@Nigel_Farage @Keir_Starmer He’s running a country. What are you doing?

[Michael Hornsby @MichaelWHornsby]

@BatterySgt @Nigel_Farage @SusanStOswald Thank you for letting us know he can’t even get this right.

[Michael Hornsby @MichaelWHornsby]

@justdave89now @Nigel_Farage He’s doing what he always does - stirs people up with lies.

[Michael Hornsby @MichaelWHornsby]

@MentalMackem45 @Nigel_Farage He didn’t tell you because he didn’t care. He was shocked when the Brexit vote proved positive. Someone I know was in the room when the result was announced and Nige couldn’t believe it.
