Gender critical feminists: This isn't the first time the world, including even the entirety of the medical profession, othodoxy perpetuated an incorrect assumption. The medical profession /1
Very sad this morning. Local crow breeding pair recently fledged their three juveniles. One didn't make it - noticed it in the neighbour's garden this morning when out walking the dog. Poor crow family. :-(

@blaiklockBP Don't forget to make scissors illegal too. I have a pair of hair cutting scissors- very sharp & pointy which I legally carry. They're only ever illegal if I use them as an offensive weapon. Same as law as for kirpan. *Nobody* should be allowed to carry something dangerously sharp
British Sikhs have long been considered a model minority and an integration success story. The core teachings of Sikhism promote equality for all human beings. This is not merely in word, but deed. Go to any gurdwara anywhere in the world and you can get a free vegetarian meal, regardless of who you are.
Over the years, Britain has made legal accommodations for Sikhs. Turbaned Sikhs have an exemption from wearing a helmet on a motorbike, famously satirised in the British sitcom Only Fools and Horses with the 'Del Boy turban helmet'.
Baptised Sikhs (Amritdharis) are provided an exemption (and a defence) on religious grounds, under the Offensive Weapons Act 2019, to carry a ceremonial knife, known as the kirpan, as part of five symbols of their faith โ colloquially known as the 5Ks.

@TheFreds What the takeaway in this tragedy should be response to Stephen Lawrence - another horrible, similar tragedy - has been a gross overcorrection, which needs to be re-corrected. The press failure is not pointing that out, repeatedly.
@TheFreds He said "such as the racially aggravated murder of Henry Nowak". Wwhat I read this was a man with a pathological failure at anger management, possible narcissistic and psychopathic, obsessed with swords who had no resilience when a young man taunted him.

@justcallmemaccy@Redrorie@jk_rowling You know what else is bad? Drug addiction, homelessness, crime, poverty, hunger, so much of the world not being able to afford healthcare. What are you doing about that?
The country is falling apart.
This should not be happening. Let the courts handle it.
The officers did wrong. They should be punished. It doesnโt mean all police should be dealing with this.
For all the people who saying it's culture not race, Buddhists are twice as likely to commit crimes serious enough to sentenced to prison time than are Sikhs.
are asking Gurdwaras to educate youth in the Panth to never use kirpan or shastar in anger and never ever use it unless it's the only way to save a life from a violent attack. Reiterate Digwa deserved his sentence and the Sikh community 100% condemns him and his family
@SikhPA It's a bit late now but you all need some social media training. Stay quiet for a few days while a situation is hot. Apologies never work. Explain the bani and why using kirpan or shastar in anything other than self defense is against the teachings of the Gurus. Say you
