The opening of the #London 2024 NY fireworks were the most sentimental, patronising, monarchies, pandering shit that I've seen this year new or last. Unncessarily political.
@MumOfTw0 In our home we do a stocking and one gift from Santa, something our kid has specifically written to Santa for. The rest of their gifts come from Mum and Dad. Plus we help them choose and 'buy' a gift for each of us. We feel all this helps them understand & appreciate gift giving
@mrjamesob I guess when because when it's children being assaulted people are disgusted and outraged. But when women are assaulted, raped, murdered ... she was asking for it/is lying/has misunderstood his intentions/didn't say 'no'/said "yes" last time/is after money or attention.
Tactical voting isnβt just how we beat the Tories.
Itβs how we absolutely humiliate them.
Make them fucking cry.

@Jiji_Byte @Morbidful Hard pass. There are multiple legit & ethical reasons to record someone without their consent. What one uses those recordings for is where careful, considerate legislation should be focused.
@harriet1marsden Sleep as much as you can. Forget the dishes, the laundry etc in favour of grabbing a nap when they're sleeping.
And wear your baby in a wrap holder so that your can get that stuff done when they're awake.
Um, hey @britishmuseum, it's come to my attention that your exhibit "China's hidden century" uses my translations of Qiu Jin's poetry, but you never contacted me for permission. Please note this is a copyright infringement! How are you going to fix this?? #NameTheTranslator
@LBC Just to clarify my position, I want to this guy refused bail, trialled and - if found guilty - punishes as harshly as the law allows. But I do not want to see our right to self-silence and right to freedom from torture undermined just coz we want answers now.
@johnisboris @LBC Him talking to police doesn't being them back to life though. The fact he's refusing to talk to police is his right and one that's important to protect. Even if he is a murdering scumbag.
@adamsau36944617@LBC No. Not at all. If I were leading the prosecution, I'd recommend he is given no bail option. But I do believe in one's right to self-silence and fight to freedom from torture. Just coz I'm keen to see those rights protected doesn't mean I don't think he's a scumbag.
@JevansJill On some things our society is actually regressing. While targeting are supporting LGBTQ+, Asda George are pushing girls to grow up as the emotional support system for others.
