@JournalistJill The BBC is now reporting that the suspect has been bailed and was unfit for interview: https://t.co/8zQmWuD4iA

[Captain Goodfellow @capt_goodfellow]

@AllisonPearson Yes - that's correct. Horrific.

[Captain Goodfellow @capt_goodfellow]

@MichelleDewbs Last week, @TheOxfordMail called Kathleen Stock a 'transphobic writer'. Hardly impartial language.

[Captain Goodfellow @capt_goodfellow]

@JournalistJill And by a stranger. Makes me think of that poor boy thrown off the Tate viewing deck. The stuff of nightmares.

[Captain Goodfellow @capt_goodfellow]

@JournalistJill Yes - love those two!

@PolitlcsUK If I was one of this man's relatives, the value migrants bring to hospitality would not be high enough up my list of considerations to include in a public statement. I smell a rat.

[Captain Goodfellow @capt_goodfellow]

Just @MattSimpson__ of @TheOxfordMail calling @Docstockk a 'transphobic writer' as fact. Ever heard of impartial reporting?

[Captain Goodfellow @capt_goodfellow]

@jan_murray Yes - eight seasons of exactly that.

[Captain Goodfellow @capt_goodfellow]

@metoffice I just want you to predict the weather accurately. Thanks.

[Captain Goodfellow @capt_goodfellow]

@TheGreenParty What is wrong with you? The guidance is based on the actual law. Are you objecting to the law or the correct interpretation of it?

[Captain Goodfellow @capt_goodfellow]

@soniasodha By politicians labelling any questioning of the issues with multiculturalism as 'far right', it pushes people to the right, and they may as well go on marches with the actual far right (like Tommy Robinson). It's really dangerous not to have engaged with legitimate concerns.

[Captain Goodfellow @capt_goodfellow]

@RobertJenrick This is not representative of what she said, and you know it. Shame on you.

[Captain Goodfellow @capt_goodfellow]

@NadiaWhittomeMP Someone who does not want to uphold the law should not be an MP.

[Captain Goodfellow @capt_goodfellow]

@MrsEmmaWebber I hope you had a really good day and enjoyed yourselves.

[Captain Goodfellow @capt_goodfellow]

@HantsPolice @smg1664 Um, criminals lie. People lie. I would have thought the police might be familiar with this.

[Captain Goodfellow @capt_goodfellow]

@KirstieMAllsopp Yes - because they think they're the good guys (and also get validation from clicks).

[Captain Goodfellow @capt_goodfellow]

@KirstieMAllsopp Objecting to males in female-only spaces doesn't mean you think it's the "biggest risk to women", but that it is a risk, and a risk I don't want. I agree with much of what you say, Kirstie (flights/iPads/washing machines in kitchens), but your take on this reeks of privilege.

[Captain Goodfellow @capt_goodfellow]

@KirstieMAllsopp Trans men pose no risk to men.

[Captain Goodfellow @capt_goodfellow]

@KirstieMAllsopp I am glad that trans-identifying people are protected in law from harassment and discrimination. But it's not bullying to protect vulnerable people from the long-term harm of puberty blockers or surgery, or to preserve single-sex spaces for vulnerable (or not) women.

@jk_rowling @nyaraVT Can you imagine having to explain to our ancestors that, in the future, we would have to explain this to people?
