Did you thank Jesus for giving great courage and vision to the British for abolishing the slave trade, spending vast amounts of money and sacrificing brave Royal Naval sailors in the process?
As a Christian, you don’t speak for me, nor millions of other Christians in the UK
Why should we donate to the Church of England for you to waste it on woke virtue signalling?
@ITattum The speed at which they have become so openly extreme, and jets face it *mainstream* is terrifying. I never want to see these people’s faces again but I’ll turn on my news and there they are.
*Those that survived them in the West are immeasurably better off.* immeasurably better off? Better off than who? Their enslaved ancestors, lucky things? Holy shit this is foul.
Those who suffered are dead. Those who traded them are dead. Those that survived them in the West are immeasurably better off.
There is nothing to repent.
Our country, your country, abolished the slave trade and then policed the high seas to ensure it was shut down.
Thank goodness for Britain and its Empire.
@Trickystuart@TheRealJamieKay You just called Jamie a racist wanker (even though Scottish isn’t a race, but *jock* is quite offensive) and the other guy a butt pirate. Punctuation matters, Stuart.
@BernieDainton@benhabib6@ArchbishopSarah There’s also the wee matter of contributing to the reparations made to the slave owners in the form of compensation. Every tax payer in the UK, including descendants of slaves, were paying off this debt until 2015.
@SuellaBraverman One word for her WOKE BITCH...SHE NOT RELIGIOUS not at all ...she not for the British people...she's not practicing proper religion... she has chosen to go with government ...and she should be unbiased ..in every sense
I has also been brought to my attention that someone called Maria MacLachlan quote-tweeted me to complain that my replies were switched off, before announcing that she regretted giving me “the time of day”.
Maria, I am terribly sorry, but I have no idea who you are.
I do not remember speaking to you. Grok cannot establish that we have ever interacted. No notification appeared. Until a friend explained that you run a YouTube channel called Peak Trans, I assumed you were simply another passing account grumbling into the electronic fog.
This is the bit in Avengers: Endgame where Scarlet Witch confronts Thanos with the full emotional weight of their history and he looks at her as though she has approached him about a faulty boiler.
I do not know you.
Apparently I denied you access to my replies. This has been interpreted as some meaningful rejection of dialogue, when the less cinematic explanation is that my replies were already restricted and I was somewhere else, blissfully unaware that an important summit between myself and the proprietor of Peak Trans had failed to commence.
Then came the tragedy:
You regretted giving me the time of day.
Maria, you did not give me the time of day.
I missed the entire encounter. No exchange occurred. No arguments were traded. I did not even get the opportunity to disappoint you properly.
And for that, I sincerely apologise.
Had I known that Maria MacLachlan of Peak Trans was waiting outside the locked replies with a small parcel of discourse, I might have instructed the footman to let her in.
Instead, you delivered a devastating final line to a man who had not realised the opening line existed.
Still, please do not feel embarrassed.
You are now part of a growing and distinguished tradition of gender-critical personalities triumphantly ending conversations with me that I did not know we were having.
Staniland is celebrating being blocked.
A woman named Lisa is warning people against engaging with me.
And Maria regrets granting me an audience I somehow failed to attend.
Thanos had the Infinity Stones.
I apparently possess the far greater power of ruining people’s afternoons without being present.
@Misfit_Photo@amramleifer@RogerGalligan@BoyGeorge You guys? I’m a middle aged Scottish woman. All the things you mentioned stopped on Oct 7th ‘23. Israeli killing has been going on for nearly 3yrs (not counting the decades before that). You have no moral high ground.
@DeathlyAcorn@sappholives83 I’d love to know if there were any repercussions for Sandie Peggie over her racist *banter* with her colleagues. Seems to me that went ignored far too long and it’s time people learned that being at work isn’t like hanging out with your mates. Especially public sector jobs.
@DeathlyAcorn@sappholives83 Of course, and the accusation wasn’t that she made these remarks on an identifiable social media account, she said all this stuff AT WORK. The guy that seriously sexually harassed me at work put it down to workplace *banter*.
@DeathlyAcorn Yea it’s up to the patient, I get why men might feel awkward about it, cos the unexpected happening must be mortifying. I’d like to think the vast majority of nurses don’t bat an eye at normal bodily functions tho.
1/ This wee anecdote that Janet has come across doesn’t add up. 90% of nurses in the NHS are women, there’s simply not enough male ones to minister to every person with a penis in a hospital. The expectation is that a nurse will care for whoever needs it or she’s in the wrong
A female NHS employee shared a disturbing story with me.
A colleague asked a patient who identified as a trans woman whether they would prefer a female member of staff to carry out an intimate examination.
The patient said yes.
So she had to do it.
The patient was clearly male - and appeared to be sexually aroused. Both by having his female identity affirmed and by being intimately examined by a woman.
She was left feeling deeply distressed and questioning why her employer had placed her in that position.
What kind of employer subjects female staff to an experience many would reasonably regard as abusive?
The police are facing similar questions.
