I work in Oncology. Love travelling, greyhounds (the top dogs).

Me on #PoliticsLive: fuss re Kemi's toxic language is SO irritating from party that gave us Lucy Powell's dog whistle attack on mentioning grooming gangs, Lammy labelling Brexiteers as Nazis & nasty, ugly demonising of dissenters as far right/racist/ignorant gammon. Grrr

Here’s the problem. The liberal political class wants us to treat atrocities like Belfast as single, random, isolated incidents. “Yes, it’s horrific, but don’t overreact,” they say. “Let the police do their job. Justice will be delivered. Let’s remain united,” and so on.

But the public can see that such incidents *aren’t* random or isolated. They are, in fact, all the consequence of massive state failure in the area of asylum and immigration. All roads lead back there.

That’s why people are angry.. They are sick of the platitudes that get trotted out after each fresh incident. They don’t want to hear them anymore. They know that the decisions of establishment politicians have brought us to this current pass, and they don’t trust those same politicians to fix things, especially when some of them refuse to even recognise that the public’s anger is justified.

There has been a huge vibe shift in recent years. Imagine - God forbid - there were another 7/7. Does anyone think the public response would be anything like as restrained as it was then? We are in really dangerous territory.

The public don’t want flowers and candles and “Don’t let them divide us.” They want someone who says, “I recognise that the state has failed abjectly. We have allowed far too many people to settle in the country without knowing who they truly are. It has disrupted your communities. Your anger is justified. And I will do everything in my power to put things right.”

Any politician unwilling to articulate that message, fully and sincerely, is effectively sanctioning more years of growing social disharmony and discord. Things cannot heal until those in power recognise the extent of the problem and what it will take to fix it. And, on both counts, most of them don’t.

That’s why the next few years are going to be very, very turbulent.

[Richard Dawkins @RichardDawkins]

This unqualified bore says his secondhand opinions are “not up for debate.” Yes they are. At a university all opinions are up for debate. If you cannot defend your opinions rationally, either they are indefensible or you are too stupid to defend them. In either case you have no right to force them on students who have expressed their wish to attend a lecture by doing so.

@peakay81 @jk_rowling Male abusers are indeed opportunistic. That’s why they need to be kept out of female only spaces no matter how they identify.

And ANY man telling a female they must accept otherwise comes with a big red flag. That includes transwomen.

@awizardharri @SebastianPott10 @TrevorPTweets @EHRC What is feminine clothing, hair and makeup?
Stereotypes?

[Sunday Girl @SundayGirlB]

@awizardharri @SebastianPott10 @TrevorPTweets @EHRC How do they live as women?

[Hadley Freeman @HadleyFreeman]

The Nova exhibition in London is absolutely incredible and everyone should see it, whatever your politics or religion. Immersive and unforgettable, tragedy narrated with devastating clarity

[J.K. Rowling @jk_rowling]

Western society is currently divided between people who know this is a man and are prepared to say so and those who know this is a man but lie out of obedience to an ideology. There is no third option. Literally nobody on earth thinks "Roxanne Tickle" is actually a woman.

[Michael C @Michaeach3]

Meet Zahwa Arafat. She is worth BILLIONS.

How does she live?
🔴 She owns entire blocks in London. She even has a street named after her because she owns every property on both sides.
🔴 She owns luxury real estate in Paris and across France.
🔴She holds properties in Malta and sits on massive Swiss bank accounts.

Where did this wealth come from? It was stolen by her father, Yasser Arafat.

Arafat wasn't even Palestinian.
His real name was Mohammed Abdel Rahman Abdel Raouf al-Qudwa al-Husseini.
He was an Egyptian terrorist born in Cairo who invented his "Palestinian" identity in 1964.

He stole billions, and his daughter lives like royalty in Europe.

When will the West wake up to this massive scam? Share this everywhere.

If I’m quiet on here, it’s because I’m speechless. It’s because my mind is tying itself in knots trying to understand how an Iranian man is tortured to death over Starlink internet possession, and the world organizes itself to say, actually, the regime is not the problem. It’s Israel and all of its nine million civilians—Jews, Muslims, Arabs, Christians—that need to be eliminated for justice to come.

@Pied_Wagtail_ @DrHoenderkamp It is fledgling season for a start.
Wildlife belongs free roaming outdoors, domestic pets do not.
Anyone owning a cat should be prepared to enrich their lives and keep them safe from harm. If they are not prepared to make the effort, they don’t deserve them.

Why do leaders of the Greens have such difficulty naming the particular demographic likely to be most ‘shaken’ and ‘affected’ by two men from their community having their throats cut on a London street?

[Dov Forman @DovForman]

Two people have been stabbed in Golders Green - the heart of London’s Jewish community - at the bottom of my road. The Government needs to get to the root cause of this problem. There can be no stone left turned. The silent majority needs to speak out now. Before it really is too late. Although I fear it already is.

[Louis Mosley @louismosley]

@ZackPolanski - this is magnificent. Three things I can’t deny:

1. It is a video.
2. You are wearing a jacket.
3. Then you aren’t.
4. Then you are again.

Unfortunately that’s where the accuracy ends.

A few corrections for you:

Peter Thiel is not our CEO. Alex Karp is — and has been for 20+ years. (A lifelong Democrat, for anyone keeping score.)

We are not a “spyware company.” Spyware is malware. Malware is illegal. Calling a software company spyware is, technically, defamatory (don’t worry, we are not suing).

We don’t build surveillance technology. We build software that helps organisations make sense of data they already hold. Not the same thing.

There was no “private tour” of our HQ. There was a public photocall to which the media came. Hence, why there are so many pictures of the event.

Our MOD contract is not “the biggest defence contract in UK history.” Ajax armoured vehicles = £5.5bn. Dreadnought submarines = £31bn. We’re grateful for the work, but let’s keep a sense of scale.

We have no more access to NHS data than Microsoft has to the contents of your Word documents. I think you know this by now.

We don’t have access to patient medical records. Same story.

I agree that “nothing matters more than our health.” Which makes it worth reminding you of what Palantir’s software is actually doing in the NHS right now:

->110,000 additional operations
->15% fewer delayed hospital discharges
->7% more patients finding out within 28 days whether they have cancer

Respect again for what you did with that jacket.

@tristan_ja28476 @spikedonline Not unless it was a greyhound, another creature exploited for the cruel racing industry.

[Sunday Girl @SundayGirlB]

@geoffbanksbet Why don’t those racing them worry about what happens to the animals?
Too much responsibility?
Easier to palm off on the well meaning public?

[Sunday Girl @SundayGirlB]

@PeterEgan6 Shame on those flouncing in fancy frocks and hats and calling this ‘entertainment’.
@BBCBreakfast stop sanitising this revolting cruelty

Who’s representing them at the talks?
