The correct way to understand UK and US politics is that predatory capitalism has won every election since the late 70's and it is the people who lost.
🚨🇮🇱 BREAKING: In a leaked interview, IDF commander confesses to murdering a family.
"I told my soldier - you see that window? Bomb there. He tells me 'there's a family there.' I told him I don't give a fuck. Burn them all."
‘No one in this country thinks you can’t criticise Israel.’
‘Well I just got banned for it.’
@cenkuygur who was blocked from entering the UK by the Home Office, believes he should have used 'tougher' language to criticise the Israeli government.
Wonder if the Chief of Hampshire Police will be writing to Farage to complain about him inciting a riot which saw his officers get attacked and local communities smashed up, like Mark Rowley wrote to Zack Polanski for retweeting something something
Best feature I’ve just discovered on this app.
Twitter has a feature which allows you to prevent any and all Yanks from replying to your tweets.
I will be implementing this across my account moving forward.
DEYANKIFICATION NOW!
Jewish groups are now boasting more explicitly than ever that they will use Jewish wealth to destroy any US politician who refuses to "stand with" Israel: as they did to Massie.
But if you observe the same exact thing in order to criticize it, you're instantly branded a bigot.
Alongside colleagues, I have tabled a motion to disapprove the Equality Act 2010: Draft Code of Practice for Services, public functions and associations. We cannot support it, and we have a responsibility to our trans constituents to resist it.
This motion is currently the only available mechanism through which Parliament can reject the EHRC’s Code of Practice; if it is debated and passed within the 40-day scrutiny window, it would prevent the Code from being issued by the EHRC and coming into force.
Please email your MP asking them to sign EDM 240.
The Code will exclude trans people from services and facilities that they have long used without issue, putting them at increased risk of harassment and violence, and effectively pushing them out of public life.
It ushers in an era of enforced segregation for trans people, the policing of which will be outsourced to service providers, including businesses, charities and public bodies.
In the statement to the House of Commons yesterday, the Minister even suggested that where members of the public are unsure of someone’s gender within a single-sex facility, “most people will have the common sense to step in where necessary or, if they are concerned, to alert a member of staff.”
Meanwhile, this guidance does not give clarity and confidence to organisations that want to be trans-inclusive. Its impact also extends beyond the rights of trans people. The government’s own Equality Impact Assessment warns that “women who are considered masculine may face greater scrutiny” and that disabled people could face adverse impacts.
The Code represents a profound rollback of rights, which will affect trans people directly and erode the principles of inclusion, dignity and equality upon which all our rights depend.
This guidance must not become statutory; the government should withdraw it and instead legislate to clarify and protect trans people’s rights, privacy and inclusion.
