@HenMazzig The fake crying is just embarrassing

Keir Starmer doesn’t know how VPNs work.

David Lammy doesn’t know how the court system works.

Rachel Reeves doesn’t know how the economy works.

None of them knows what a woman is.

Not exactly Britain’s brightest and best.

@Jonnywsbell She can't even look him in the eyes. Pathetic from Quins.

Trans activists are now ONLY interested in children. They now know they can’t win against us adults. They don’t care anymore. By charging toward children, they future-proof their movement and fully establish their ideology right under our noses. This is very serious and time-sensitive. ⏰

I miss the 80s and 90s cos if something really bad happened there was always a chance that Beadle was about. Like if your car rolled off a quayside there was always a chance, albeit a slim one, that it was just Beadle being about.

@CharlotteCGill At least you tried to stop it & I assumed you apologised to the picnicers. We were on beach recently & one dog peed on my friend's son's wheelchair, another ran through our picnic knocking a tray of chicken into the sand. In both cases owners ignored - no apology attempted 😡

If you can, share these images of the beautiful soul stolen from us by the worst of humanity.

Let his face today burn bright.
Barney, I promise you there will be accountability 💛💚

For You. For Grace. For Ian.

@QcWynter Went to that wine estate on our honeymoon - it was divine. Brought back a bottle.

@Channel4News How stupid does she think we are? How patronising.

Isn't this you happily shaking hands with the Syrian President, Ahmed al-Sharaa, who led an Al-Qaeda linked terror group which carried out multiple beheadings? Just checking on your tolerance levels for this sort of stuff @Keir_Starmer

Well done to the social media person at Rowhead Farm near Stirling in Scotland for what is possibly the greatest Facebook post of all time …

[Andy Jones @Andyjoneswrites]

Notts killer Calocane - mentally capable enough to get a 2:1 in engineering at the same time as being not at all medically responsible for stalking and murdering multiple victims, as well as driving a stolen van into a bus queue of people.
Manslaughter was a lie.
Family right to be furious.

As a lesbian, I am so tired of this nonsense. I am tired of corporate Pride and activist Pride.

This week HelloFresh decided that the best way to celebrate Pride Month was to post jokes about preparing for anal sex and offering high-fibre recipes to help people "prep". They then doubled down with a discount code called BOTTOMSUP.

Inclusion! WOO! 🙄

The thing that frustrates me is that people like me have spent years defending gay rights against accusations that we are hypersexual, inappropriate, and incapable of ordinary family life.

That was one of the central prejudices gay people faced. For decades, opponents portrayed gay men in particular as sexually obsessed and depraved. They argued that homosexuality was all about sex rather than love, commitment, relationships and family. The fight for equal rights was partly a fight against exactly that caricature.

And now here we are. A major multinational company has decided the best way to celebrate Pride is to publicly discuss anal sex. What an achievement.

The same-sex marriage movement wasn't about sex. It was about love, commitment, and the ability to build a life with the person you love. It was about family and equality before the law.

Most gay people are not what the weirdos in the HelloFresh marketing department think we are. We go to work, pay bills, walk the dog, argue about whose turn it is to empty the dishwasher, and try to build a decent life together.

You know... Normal things.

The overwhelming majority of gay people just want to be accepted and left alone. We want the same freedoms, responsibilities and opportunities as everyone else. We don't need multinational corporations making dirty jokes about us to feel "included".

What makes this even more ridiculous is that HelloFresh's core market is clearly not radical "queer" activists with blue hair and septum rings.

Their customers are overwhelmingly middle-class couples and families. Busy parents. Professionals. People with disposable income who want convenient meals after work.

How hard would it have been to make a genuinely wholesome Pride advertisement?

Two mums cooking dinner with their kids or two husbands hosting friends. A same-sex couple just making dinner together or flipping a coin to see who has to cook. A simple message acknowledging families and love. Instead they went with rectum jokes.

Somewhere along the way after the TQ+ hijacked our movement, Pride stopped being about acceptance and started being about performance. A small but influential group of activists have convinced themselves that being as shocking, vulgar and sexually explicit as possible is somehow brave and intrinsically "queer". They think boundaries of any kind are oppression including standards and decorum. They think manners are censorship.

The result is campaigns like this one and somehow people are shocked when there is backlash against us all.

I actually feel really sorry for gay men in particular because one of the oldest stigmas they have faced is the idea that they are dirty, promiscuous and defined entirely by sex. This campaign reinforces that stereotype.

If you wanted to design an advertisement that would make ordinary people roll their eyes and think Pride is ridiculous, or shield their children's eyes in horror, you would struggle to do better than this.

The irony is that HelloFresh's marketing department thinks this is progressive. It's regressive and distasteful. It takes decades of work by ordinary gay people who want to be seen as neighbours, colleagues, parents, partners and family members and reduces all of it to a crude sexual punchline.

The people who fought for our rights wanted dignity, but the people most enthusiastic about Pride today seem determined to turn it into a fetish convention with corporate sponsors.

@favouritetowin @ArchRose90 @joerichlaw Exactly what I thought - definitely beginning to speak like DA.

If you believe in Sharia, live in a country that applies Sharia. There's 57 of them.

Don’t move to a secular state and then demand Sharia.

@Glinner My mum always says never trust someone whose bottom teeth show when they are talking. Surpringly accurate from my experience.

[Aɴᴛ @AntSpeaks]

Please just shut up with this "I'm respecting Henry Nowak's family's wishes" nonsense.

I'm hearing it from countless people on the left, and it completely misses the point.

Here's some much needed context..

When families release statements after a high profile killing, it is extremely common for lawyers, media advisers, victim support organisations, or police family liaison officers to help draft, review, or shape the wording.

Phrases such as:

• "We do not want this tragedy to cause division."

• "Please do not use our loved one's death to spread hatred."

• "We ask people to remain peaceful."

• "We do not want tensions between communities."

are standard in these kinds of statements. You can research it yourself if you think that's inaccurate.

NO, I'm not suggesting that Henry's family didn't genuinely mean what they said. They very well may have.

What I do reject is the claim that their statement was a demand for everyone to stop discussing the case, stop asking questions, and stop scrutinising what happened.

In fact, the family themselves highlighted concerns about how Henry was treated by the police and suggested that those responsible may need to face legal consequences.

Calling for people not to spread hatred is not the same thing as demanding silence. Those are two very different things.
