Utterly disgraceful & disrespectful behaviour from the new SNP MP for Arbroath & Broughty Ferry. She added a preamble to the loyal oath indicating she didn’t accept it, then read the actual words holding up crossed fingers, presumably to signify she didn’t believe it. Awful.
You might find it difficult to do two things at once, Paul, but I find it remarkably easy to enjoy the millions I've made while continuing to care about women's rights.
One of those things that never happens if you open up women's changing rooms to any man who wants to come inside has happened. Again.

When I got arrested for Nazi Pug, I got held in jail until my court date due to the "serious nature" of my "offence".
But the guy who threw a toddler into a crocodile enclosure to try and have him ripped limb from limb has already been bailed the very next day.
Clown country.
@Donna_Rachel_@Rubybenson97 You highlighted the definition of "lines" whilst providing the definition of what is actually spoken about in the report... "Violent" "Organised" "Distribution".
You come across bad in your video, laughing and looking bitter you weren't involved.
I’m probably going to write more about girls/women and class. It always touches a deep nerve and significant resistance from middle class feminists. As I look at “the non-apology” I can see that denial is easier than self-reflection.
Working class girls meanwhile continue to fight to survive on working class estates. The old types of male violence they had to negotiate in order to survive now added to by new perps - migrant men - who ALSO see them as disposable “slags”. Undoubtedly more so given the prevailing attitude to women in their homelands.
The women who try to defend these girls are smeared as “far right”. The women who get out on marches with men to try to highlight what is happening are ridiculed and even pushed to the floor by police. Even the woman whose daughter was stabbed with a screwdriver 23 times is seen as undeserving of a voice. Watching Siobhan Whyte knocked to the ground at the weekend was disturbing.
Mastectomy scars are now promoted to girls as something cool to aspire to. A 'look', a statement, a choice.
So insulting to women who have no choice. So dangerous for vulnerable teen girls to sell them major surgery as just a fashionable change of image.
Dear @LushLtd,
Mark Constantine (@MarkatLush[email protected]) & Hilary Jones, Ethics Director, please explain why Lush is celebrating & promoting the removal of healthy body parts from young people in the name of gender ideology.
As a lesbian woman & breast cancer survivor, I find this profoundly offensive. Many women have endured mastectomies & other invasive procedures because they were medically necessary, not because of a subjective belief about identity.
Women & girls deserve better than seeing life-altering medical interventions presented as something to be celebrated.
Please remove this advertising immediately.
Dear Lush (cc Chelmsford City Council),
As a woman who had half a breast removed last year due to cancer, I am writing to raise my concerns about your “Proud of My Stripes” window display.
I am also, on behalf of other women who have experienced breast cancer, respectfully requesting its removal.
Because mastectomies are not a fashion statement, an identity marker or something to be celebrated.
They are something women undergo because they are ill, because they are frightened, because they are trying to stay alive.
Around 59,000 women are diagnosed with breast cancer in the UK every year. Many will undergo surgery - a mastectomy, lumpectomy or other procedure.
Others choose preventive mastectomies because they carry a high-risk BRCA gene mutation.
If a woman chooses to have her breasts removed to affirm a gender identity, that is her personal choice.
I honestly don’t know the number of women who have elective mastectomies for this reason.
What I do know is that it is a tiny number compared with those for whom breast surgery is medically necessary and not something to be celebrated.
I think I speak for many women who have experienced breast cancer - and for their families - when I say this:
Breast removal surgery is not something I regard as cute, playful or empowering.
Nor is it something I believe retailers should be celebrating.
For that reason, I am requesting that the display be removed and that @ChelmsCouncil apologise for promoting it on social media.
Yours sincerely,
Janet Murray
@JeanHatchet@emily4MK Hi Jean, sorry to direct a daft question at you but do you know how I can read the full list of those who've signed it. I want to see if my MP is on there too. Thanks in advance
At today’s sentencing, several Black Americans came out to support Austin Metcalf.
They directly confronted Karmelo Anthony’s supporters and told them they were wrong.
They were called names and targeted, but they didn’t back down.
I spoke to several of them privately and told them I was proud of them.
So if you’re feeling black-pilled, remember: it’s not all bad out there.
@JayDeads@woke_tomorrow@JLRINVESTIGATES The black guy got arrested shortly after. The white guy got to go home. I'd say that is a fairly satisfactory outcome wouldn't you?
@AyoCaesar You said the 2011 riots where an Ealing pensioner punched to death by a looter as “taut, tense, purposeful” you said that they showed the “explosive power that can be unleashed when marginalised people see themselves reflected in each other’s struggle”.
Hpocrite!
Ash described the 2011 riots that saw an Ealing pensioner punched to death by a looter as “taut, tense, purposeful” and added that they showed the “explosive power that can be unleashed when marginalised people see themselves reflected in each other’s struggle”.
I suppose it’s ok to torch people’s homes, as long as it’s done by marginalised people?
