Pronouns: she, they, them

Imagine. We've seen THREE years of killing, maiming, and destruction by a nation-state that represents the full expression of Zionism. Open calls for ethnic cleansing, open racial superiority expressed, 'Amalek' etc.

And somehow calling that 'racism' is the problem.

Kicking the ‘don’t commit genocide’ guy off your tour because it upsets the people who support the genocide is actually a blatant display of taking sides. There’s nothing neutral here, not even close.

The actual headline: Andy Burnham to allow Sainsbury’s to use unpaid labour over Christmas so it doesn’t have to hire extra staff this year.

For 37 years, privatised water companies have fleeced customers and poisoned our supply whilst extracting £88bn+ in dividends.

Privatisation is a scam. It is absurd that successive governments have allowed this farce to continue.

Put water into democratic public ownership, now.

[Zack Polanski @ZackPolanski]

I have written to the Cabinet Secretary to seek assurances that the Prime Minister’s Chief of Staff, who was lobbying for the privatised water industry until recently, has had no involvement in talks about the future of Thames Water.

Apparently Stella has permission to do long-distance diagnosis of people she has never met.

In 2024, Wayne Brown, the UK’s first Black fire chief of the West Midlands Fire Service, took his own life after months of harassment and questions over his qualifications.

His partner said that when national news outlets ran stories about him, "He just couldn’t take it anymore" and that it was the "final straw."

You didn’t see wall-to-wall media coverage when, in June, Professor Simon Goldhill resigned from the University of Cambridge after an external investigation upheld multiple complaints of sexual and professional misconduct.

He kissed a female student in her twenties, put his tongue in her ear, and touched her chest.

The student said she felt “scared and panicky”. She also made it clear that she did not want to be kissed and pushed his hand away when he touched the zip of her trousers.

You’re the government with a large majority. You could pass Leveson II tomorrow.

[Flying_Rodent @flying_rodent]

This would be good IMO: it would force lots of prominent, important people to face the consequences of their horrible choices, and it’d compel them to explain themselves. Rather than what they do instead, which is shout “Actually that was just practice, we’re back to 0-0 now”.

Did the mainstream press and a Nazi blogger have different motivations in covering this story? Did they apply different emphasis, did they reach different conclusions? And obviously the answer is no, they did not. Should newspapers and Nazi activists not be somewhat different?

[Flying_Rodent @flying_rodent]

Oh wow, beautiful. A timeless genius here, specifically for saying things that her smarter colleagues understand they shouldn’t say where the public can hear.

[Flying_Rodent @flying_rodent]

This is very different to e.g. Farage accepting five million pounds from shady criminals with unknown motives. For a start, Farage’s services are hugely more expensive.

[India Willoughby @IndiaWilloughby]

Maggie Thatcher sold British assets at a knockdown price to the rich. Who then charged them back to us at an exorbitant rate.

Thatcher is the root of all the rot around us today. War zone roads, sewage in rivers, lack of housing. Cruelty and nastiness.

[Harry Eccles @Heccles94]

Labour MPs are not medically trained to assess disability.

They are simply stigmatising the mentally ill and neurodiverse to chase reform votes.

Disgraceful.

[Flying_Rodent @flying_rodent]

If you’re ever wondering whether person (x) is reasonable or whether they’re just a hooting wingnut crackpot, then I have always found “do they have serious, very aggro beef with Amnesty International” is one of the best indicators.

[Flying_Rodent @flying_rodent]

Your project was so rancid and toxic that the Prime Minister had to resign, just so you could salvage something, anything at all.

[Flying_Rodent @flying_rodent]

They were 100% focused on grubbing up secret donations, absurd backroom shenanigans, fucking flags, camo-gear photo-ops, signalling racism and crackdowns, and they assumed they could just swan in as obviously superior people and fix stuff, then the public would love them for it.
