@PicturesFoIder Serious question to those who applaud "digital defiance" - how are these incredibly expensive movies going to be made if no one pays to watch them?
@kathy_kathys2@Keir_Starmer Lol last year 90% of immigrants (about 600,000 people) came legally, on work or student visas or their families. <5% came on boats. The government could cut immigration to <100,000 easily by issuing fewer visas. But guess what. We NEED immigration.
@RichardDawkins@facebook So if Imane is male because of XY chromosomes, some males must be able to give birth (because some people with swyers syndrome have XY chromosomes and a uterus). You can't have both "XY chromosomes = male" and "only females can give birth". They are mutually exclusive.
@piersmorgan People with swyers syndrome have XY chromosomes and some can give birth. Just so you know you are saying that some biological males can give birth.
@DrDebraSoh Some people with swyer syndrome can give birth. So if you're saying ALL XY chromosomes = male, then you are saying some males can give birth.
People need to understand that this is complicated.
@MTGrepp 3 little girls were murdered. The far right said the murderer was an illegal immigrant and Muslim, which stoked this violence. In fact, the murderer is Christian, born in Cardiff to Rwandan parents.
But the far right don't like facts. They just want an excuse to be thugs.
@TRobinsonNewEra You are the worst. One woman was stabbed by a white guy in Stirling. You just make things up in the hope your followers won't fact check.
JK Rowling could be protesting about the inclusion of an actual child rapist in the Dutch Olympic team. She's said nothing, instead focusing on a woman with a DSD.
Don't try to tell me she really cares about protecting women and girls.

@Jenny_1884 So last year 650,000 people came to the UK... 90% of them on work or student visas, or their families. Small boats less than 5%. It's actually really easy to reduce immigration; issue fewer visas. Truth is we NEED immigration.
@kelvmackenzie Last year 90% of immigrants came with either work or student visas, or were their families. Less than 5% came on boats. If government wants to cut immigration they can issue less visas. Very simple.
The Rwanda plan was a gimmick to appease the far right. Want to bring that 650,000 number down? Issue fewer visas. Simple. The fact is that the government WANTS immigration because we NEED it. Far from ruining the NHS, it would collapse without it.

Here is why we do NOT need to worry about immigration, contrary to Reform's claims.
โข 650,000 people came to the UK in 2023. Big number, right?
โข except nearly half of that number came on work visas (or their families), and most to work in care and the NHS.

โข 40% of the 650,000 were students and their families. So 90% of the 650,000 was government approved.
โข<5% (~30,000) came on small boats. I'm not saying that's not a concern, because it is, it costs desperate people their lives. But it's a tiny fraction of the story.
