@northumbriana You just look like Poppy with brown curly hair instead of her straight golden tresses though

What a painting! A new one on me too - I feel the need for a print of this in my life now

[Naima Jackson @MsJacksonTweets]

Hmmmmm

1/6 Anyone else intrigued by Rishi’s choice of paintings? What is he trying to tell us? Can we guess what will be in the spending review from his taste in art? A thread:

Incredible: RIP Diego

Nothing sums up Maradona better than the streets of Naples. Every working-class district has its homage to him, decades after he left Napoli. The People’s Champ.

@northumbriana You absolute 🥚

TBH, I’ve probably sent about 7 tweets/year, however, 7 yrs is a long time like!!

[Naima Jackson @MsJacksonTweets]

@IggMusic Absolutely. So many replies as I read one of your tweets and found the content shocking, so I scrolled through your earlier posts to see if that was a mistaken/ironic mis-tweet. Clearly, I am sad that it was not, but I am more than happy to have a dialogue about just why that is

[Naima Jackson @MsJacksonTweets]

@IggMusic Self preservation requires energy & spirit to avoid harm to one’s self; the clue is in the word ‘preservation’ (to protect), which is an active not a passive process. Ergo: to limply protect is an impossibility; whereas to lamely self-deflect (as you prove here) is very possible

[Naima Jackson @MsJacksonTweets]

@IggMusic The latter part of this statement would be wonderful if it applied to you, though you no doubt would assert that you are the evolved, finished product of future-thinking and are unlikely to be enlightened as to the irony implicit in your entire tweet

[Naima Jackson @MsJacksonTweets]

@IggMusic The definition of a ‘jihad’ is to strive or struggle with a praiseworthy aim; these attacks are not a struggle and they are not praiseworthy; ergo, they are not a jihad.

[Naima Jackson @MsJacksonTweets]

@IggMusic I am speaking the truth; that’s what political correctness is: there’s a big clue in the word ‘correct’-ness

[Naima Jackson @MsJacksonTweets]

@IggMusic The only person playing the victim round here is you Ian; it must be terrifying having all these trans children, articulate black women and civilised people having the decency to wear masks to prevent the spread of a virus attacking your fragile ego on a daily basis

[Naima Jackson @MsJacksonTweets]

@IggMusic A mask is designed to control the amount of germs a person can respirate into the environment and inhale themselves; ergo, a mask is a tool of control, and your argument is invalid

[Naima Jackson @MsJacksonTweets]

@IggMusic You do know the history of the word ‘freaks’ don’t you?
