Oh, can I play? CAN I PLAY?
I know this game really well…
“JK Rowling is as far from a homophobe as it’s possible to be.
I get to define what is homophobic because I’m a gay man. Willoughby is a misogynistic, homophobic weirdo, who is weaponising fictional examples of transphobia in order to attack women & LGB people.”
See? Do I get a Sherbet Dip Dab?
I never knew his name and so never searched this. I have a teenage daughter and his offences are regarding teenage girls.
I'm quite frankly freaked out.
Does anyone have any advice?
I'm just kind of shocked right now at the articles I've read.
This is a sensitive post but I really need advice. My neighbour has always made me feel uncomfortable, just a vibe about him, today he crossed boundaries with me, but just enough for it to not be of interest to police.
I googled him - found out his name and discovered...stuff.
Asked Lloyds twice for an ISA transfer form, they said they've sent it both times and haven't. It's a bank not on their list so can't do it online. But frustrating. Of course no branch open near me anymore!
There is an unlicensed HMO behind my house. Separated by a path. Last night loud party meant we couldn't sleep at that side of the house with windows open.
There is a constant stream of mainly men going through there, sometimes a child. House very overcrowded
Lots of shouting and swearing last night - it is not good for the child. I don't feel I can approach any of them, one of them stares at me when I use my back gate, it's intimidating.
My neighbour says she would report it but she's worried about repercussions from them.
⚠️NOTTINGHAM ATTACK
A young woman was reportedly r-ped in the Adams Walk area of Nottingham city centre at 2:46am this morning [Sat 13th June].
Police cordoned off part of Lace Market Square and urge info - but haven't released any suspect description.
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

@John_Dabell@DailyMail this man has been fighting like a demon against cancer for years. He cannot swallow and needs to carry all dried food and drinks to put through a feeding tube.
@British_Airways has lost his entire supply of food, FGS.
Please please can anyone help.
SHOCKING details read out by father Mark Nowak regarding the murder of his son Henry.
- As blood filled his chest, Henry Nowak tried desperately to escape. Instead, he was chased and subjected to further abuse.
- When police arrived, Henry was lying on the ground, unable to sit up and clearly suffering severe medical distress.
- With his final words, he told officers nine times that he could not breathe.
- He also repeatedly told them that he had been stabbed four times.
- One officer responded: “I don’t think you have, mate.”
- Police later claimed they had been misled by the murderer.
- Henry’s father, Mark Nowak, believes the truth is far simpler.
- Both Henry and a member of the public who called 999 told police that Henry had been stabbed.
- Despite these warnings, officers failed to believe them.
- Henry was dragged across gravel and placed in handcuffs.
- Police arrested Henry for assault and read him his rights. According to his father, those were the last words Henry heard before he died.
- Mark Nowak says his son was denied even the dignity of a proper death.
- Henry should never have died on the streets of Southampton while in police custody.
- Meanwhile, his killer, Vikram Digwa, was afforded a level of decency that Henry was not. Reports suggest he was not even handcuffed when arrested.
- Officers reportedly took Digwa to the kitchen and allowed him to choose his own food.

FINAL UPDATE ABOUT HEDGY xXx
Hi everyone,
I want to take a moment to address the recent incident involving Hedgy the hedgehog that was brought into our care and sadly later died.
First of all, this has been incredibly upsetting for everyone involved. Anyone who works in animal rescue does so because they deeply care about protecting vulnerable wildlife, and seeing any animal suffer is heartbreaking. This situation has taken a significant emotional toll on everyone involved. Time and resources that would normally be spent saving and rehabilitating vulnerable hedgehogs have instead been diverted into dealing with this incident and the reaction surrounding it. All admin, assessments, treatments, etc falls on my shoulders alone, and the weight is crushing right now.
A number of individuals have been identified and are actively cooperating with the police. The matter has been reported properly, and we now need to allow the police, parents, and relevant authorities to establish the facts calmly and appropriately. Please refrain from naming individuals, sharing rumours, or encouraging harassment.
While emotions are understandably high, we must not respond with hatred, threats, or online abuse — especially when children are involved. Whatever the circumstances may ultimately prove to be, intimidation, public shaming, and hateful comments do not help animals, do not help the investigation, and do not help our community. No child is shaped into a better person through fear or public humiliation, but through guidance, accountability, compassion, and love. For this reason, I will be turning off all comments across the posts about Hedge effective immediately.
We must allow the appropriate people to deal with it properly, and as a community, begin to move forward constructively and compassionately. If there is one positive thing that can come from this tragic situation, I hope it is a wider conversation about teaching children empathy, respect for wildlife, and the importance of kindness toward all living creatures.
Thank you to everyone who has supported the rescue respectfully and compassionately. Your concern for wildlif means a great deal.
Please, let’s move forward with calmness, dignity, and humanity.
💜🦔💜
With kindest regards,
Kelly
