No matter your views on her stated reasons for quitting, Rosie Duffield has made a political career out of dehumanising one of the most marginalised groups in society.
She should never have been allowed the privilege of resigning. Labour should have withdrawn the whip long ago.
We don't call transphobes 'transphobes' to 'scare them out' of being transphobic. E.g. saying 'Anita Bryant is a homophobe' doesn't stop Anita Bryant being homophobic. We're identifying a bigotry, and asking society to stand up to it.
Everything isn't about you, Joanne. 1/
I’d like to invite @wesstreeting to his first appointment to “explore” why he’s gay, and if there are some alternative ways he might be able to live his life. We’ll be keeping a diary over the three years to see how he progresses. But in the meantime Wes, please refrain from being gay. Ty #Cass #Labour #ConversionTherapyBan @PaulBrandITV
Judge Christopher Hehir did not want to send a police officer who raped a woman to jail as an "act of mercy"
Judge Christopher Hehir sent five climate protesters to jail, and denied any of their defences, saying they "crossed the line from campaigner to fanatic"
You are going to kill hundreds of young people over the next few years. Why are you stubbornly ignoring world medical consensus, and following the Tory stitch up that is Cass - that explicitly BANNED experts from taking part? That Kemi has admitted was a fix? That was written by conversion therapists? You couldn’t accept the fact you were gay at first and tried to resist - now you are trying to ‘cure’ people from being trans by making them go through puberties THEY do not want. It is none of your business. The people complaining are not trans. It’s the Gender Critical movement. Wes, you are Paula Vennels. And you will go down in history as a monster for what you are about to do. You will not only be killing children, but causing untold grief and scarring to others. No doubt your Church will forgive you.
True crime podcasts are better when the crime is white collar, like it requires better journalism to make stuff interesting when you're not relying on the outright macabre
@PETAUK PETA /are/ actually right about this! (weirdly sexual protest aside)
•Cashmere is rarely collected 'gently'
•Increased demand means more goats, causing ecological damage
•Capitalism :(

Honestly bring back the "millennial pause" - When a video starts halfway through a sentence I have no idea what they're saying and can't move the slider back cos my screen protector is in the way
