This is sobering...but true.
One of the most important tweets anyone will read this year ⬇️

“Many Marks and Spencer customers will be disappointed to be told by a charity boss what they should watch and where they should shop”. Stop Funding Censorship

Lover Germaine. She walked away from Newnham College, Cambridge, the last women-only college, when it admitted a TW as a senior member (lecturer). It was Newnham's great loss.

If you support single sex spaces for women that include bathrooms, changing rooms & sports please Rt & like. I firmly believe biological females have that right, to personal dignity & fair sport in the Uk but across the whole world. I’m prepared to stand up & be counted. Are you?

[Irene Hampshire @Y3IH]

@benonwine She’s correct.

You may have seen my post of @ThatAlexWoman Phillips lament for the working-class, she concludes, "Their experience is barely worth living." One of my followers concurs.

"Good morning Dave. I have just seen your post about the lost working class communities in the UK. My grandfather went down the pit at the ripe old age of 11.

"He watched the belt from a hole in the pit face. He married my grandmother at 20 and they lived in local, bug ridden slums for many years but they both worked.

"My grandmother was a farm labourer, she was 5ft 3ins tall, & killed chickens etc for extra money. They made something from nothing as did my parents.

"My family were all trade union members & I was a representative for decades. It galls me when I hear the present PM moan on about his father the toolmaker & the rest of them pretending to be "of the people"!

"I lived through the Miner's Strike in a pit village & believe me that was no joke. However, the events of the last few days make me very wary.

"Obviously I can't post this but thought you might be interested in the view from my grandparents window so to speak. Keep up the great work & best wishes from the Vale of York 🇬🇧

This is Rowan Atkinson's wonderful defence of free speech.

At the time Rowan was part of a delegation that met civil servants. One of them suggested comedians forward jokes for their approval.

Rowan replied: "That's what they did in the Soviet Union."

I’ve heard a rumour that likes are starting to stick on this legendary tweet, just in case anyone wants to try it out as a wee experiment…
