Abolish the family advocate, Dr. Sophie Lewis, explains that the desire to protect children's sexual innocence is a moral panic derived from Anita Bryant and that the true threat to children is the nuclear family.

@Lucie_Fur99@DAaronovitch@LozzaFox@thetimes In your case it’s hard to say, as you seem reasonably fair minded. David? I could absolutely see him characterising everything from silence on his favoured cause to misgendering as “violence” while writing his tweet of as banter.
@Lucie_Fur99@DAaronovitch@LozzaFox@thetimes Do you think either David or yourself would be defending such a statement were it made by a right wing pundit in reference to a left leaning political figure?
@109mph@LozzaFox@DAaronovitch@thetimes It’s ok when the left do it. Silence is violence. Misgendering is violence. Asking someone where they’re from is violence. Explicitly saying a right wing political figure should be murdered? That’s just harmless bant bruv and you’re stupid for thinking otherwise.
@Lucie_Fur99@DAaronovitch@LozzaFox@thetimes Surely you’re not implying that claiming “Muh satire bruh” after the fact would absolve someone of the criminal ramifications of explicitly encouraging violence?
@ShaunSmiths@DAaronovitch@LozzaFox@thetimes That’s not crack, that’s not even alcohol. That’s the frenetic live wire of fight or flight. The cortisol cocktail to toast the realisation that you have truly fucked up.
@msrwb4ever @DAaronovitch@LozzaFox@thetimes Incitement requires that he encourages a person to break the law, so praying to God wouldn’t apply. He knows this, he’s just acting tough because he’s soiling himself at what’s coming next.
@DAaronovitch@LozzaFox@thetimes I can’t read minds David, so I’m unlikely to be aware of it in order to report it. This doubling down with bravado after deleting your tweet is solely in order to salve your worry. It’s adorable, but highly transparent. Stop digging.
@Harri21263Steve@SAshworthHayes There is more than one theology. I believe Sam was referring to the quasi-religious role gender ideology now holds in secular society. The backlash against challenge (blasphemy) and the tendency of its adherents to build an identity around it certainly speak to that.
@davelee1968@Littler2Steve Parachutes will be forever remembered fondly by me. Not necessarily because of its musical merit, but because of the time in my life it is associated with.
@Telegraph Labour announces taxes on the super wealthy, to the glee of leftist clapping seals. As expected, they rearrange their affairs to avoid the taxes, the take is lower than forecast. Labour change tack and target middle to high earners on PAYE as they’re sitting ducks.
@Matt600000@HullTweeting @Jane_East2002 @Telegraph Keeping more of what you’ve worked for is selfish. However expecting what someone else has worked for to be confiscated and spent on you isn’t. Sounds like the mindset of an underachiever.
