@JohnDoyle Wait…God manufactured a rainbow for Noah to see, as a sign that He was now done killing people?

[Martina Navratilova @Martina]

Agreed 💯. Just because something is a religious or cultural custom , doesn’t make it ok

@thereallorilove As soon as one sees 🇺🇸 and ✝️ in a person’s bio - you can be almost entirely certain that person is a moron

@TheCartelDel After moving to the UK in the 90s I discovered that expectations of performers were much more “humane” (generally), but feeling proud of one’s genuine achievements was seen as being arrogant. It made you a kind of dickhead, worthy of being brought down a few pegs…

[Jan Karlovich Rautio @Onezhsky]

@TheCartelDel Russian Brit here. Growing up in the USSR I was brought up to believe that unless I presented perfection to the audience then there was no reason to perform at all. Better remain mediocre and know one’s place. However, if I achieved “perfection” then I could feel proud of it

Boy George has blocked me. And he doesn’t know the difference between except and accept. But sure- he knows about hormones…

Trump says TWO dumb things here: “We're gonna cut off all trade with Spain, we don't want anything to do with Spain."

Then, “Spain said we can’t use their bases… We can use their bases. If we want we can just fly in and use it. Nobody’s gonna tell us not to use it.”

That second statement, way to tell every other country in the world to not let the US build more bases in their countries cause once we're in, we'll just do whatever we want and ignore your sovereignty. If I'm Spain, I'm evicting all the troops and saying "come back when your leader is sane." Dude is literally trying to claim once we have presence somewhere, another nation loses its autonomy.

The first statement is the super dumb one, though: Spain is part of the EU. They negotiate as one entity. Trump has no means to "cut off all trade" with an individual EU nation. That would be like the EU claiming they weren't going to trade with Kentucky anymore. It doesn't work that way, and just goes to show his complete illiteracy.

I’m dealing with a family emergency, so I won’t be doing broadcast interviews on the John Davidson Tourette’s tic at the BAFTAs story.

Hearing the N word shouted at two of the most successful black actors in the world, on stage at the BAFTAs and broadcast on the BBC, was horrible. It made people uncomfortable. It should have. But it was an involuntary tic from someone who lives with Tourette’s syndrome. It was not chosen. It was not intentional. It was not an expression of belief.

What’s astonishing is watching people who constantly lecture the public about inclusion suddenly abandon it the moment it becomes complicated. The same voices that demand respect for lived experience are now acting as if a neurodivergent man consciously decided to shout a slur for sport.

Tourette’s is a neurological condition. It is not a political statement. It is not a moral failing. You cannot preach DEI and then punish someone for symptoms of their neurodivergence.

Even the Royal Household has previously understood Davidson’s condition. Not even the late Queen was immune to his tics he said “F*ck the Queen” TO HER FACE. If that reality can be accepted there, it should not be beyond the rest of us.

Two things can be true at once. The word is abhorrent. The tic was involuntary. If your commitment to inclusion collapses when it involves neurodivergence, then it was never inclusion in the first place.

@SholaMos1 @JohnDougherty8 Almost lost for words…but “Dr” Shola @SholaMos1 is an idiot. A moron, an imbecile, if you like. She has proven to us over many years, with many other statements and posts, that as a person of limited intelligence all she CAN do is produce rage-bait. Don’t give her attention!

[Konstantin Kisin @KonstantinKisin]

Nothing - and I mean nothing - reliably produces messages about how I should be deported, I am a foreigner etc than going into progressive echo chambers and dropping truth bombs about the impact mass immigration has had on our country. These are the people saying #bekind.

It's perfectly possible to be an immigrant and pro-immigration while being against mass uncontrolled low skilled immigration. We should be attracting the best and the brightest from around the world in manageable numbers and ensuring cultural compatibility, low risk of criminal offending and no benefits for foreign nationals.

I am British and proudly so. I'll keep speaking up for our country's best interests as I see them. And, by the way, most British people agree with me.

It would be different if Brexit supporters could say:

"Look, we know it's been a decade since the vote, but look at all these people who've benefited from more rights, more money or better healthcare".

But you want us to respect the wishes of people who are both dead AND WRONG.
