Pickles, restaurants, sustainability (I'm trying) and far too much Brexit for my own sanity. I also have a cute dog.

@art_pleb @moveincircles @eigenrobot I have no idea. But I haven’t seen Elon Musk say anything about this.. (or even ask any questions about it).

@moveincircles @eigenrobot Vulnerable girls are most definitely being exploited in the US (just not by Muslim grooming gangs)… https://t.co/qQwPg7QZPW

@democracycoma1_ @AjaTheEmpress And there’s a Panorama on tonight about it..

@karl11811 @StuFraDa @AjaTheEmpress There’s a Panorama on the BBC tonight all about it. They’ve done an investigation into it. Not sure they are trying to bury the story…

@nateliie1970 @dave43law @MetroUK But it doesn’t illustrate ‘the sickness the UK has become’.

@nateliie1970 @dave43law @MetroUK It’s possible to read it yourself. Click the link. Dublin. Southern Ireland. No it’s not ok.

It’s extraordinary that the BBC consistently platforms men upset they have to use gender neutral toilets instead of women’s toilets over the female rape survivors who have been unable to access a female-only support group, in relation to the EHRC guidance. It says it all, really.

[Nick Wallis @nickwallis]

Seriously evil. Adherence to trans ideology allowed NHS staff to lock a vulnerable woman into a ward with psychotic men. She was raped within an hour.

@Gillian_Philip @MaeveHalligan This crime perfectly demonstrates the harm that going along with this lie does: https://t.co/u4BFiHMMuy

I’m sure those healthcare workers thought they were doing the right thing. And look where it got them. Shocking.

@FT Nigel Farage lying? Who’d’ve thought it?

He did this for £80
Imagine what he’d do for 5 million

As I said on @bbcquestiontime - Farage’s £5m bung from some crypto tycoon in Thailand absolutely stinks. And Yusuf’s evasion here makes it stink even more. If Starmer or Badenoch had been caught doing this without declaring it, Farage & Yusuf would demand they resign.

[David @Zero_4]

The bloke who took £5m from a foreign-based billionaire to use for his own safety concerns is the same man who refused to hold surgeries in his constituency due to concerns for his safety *after* receiving £5m from a foreign-based billionaire to use for his own safety concerns

@residentadviser This could work. Suspect there are plenty of people looking at both the Greens and Reform with horror. Neither seem serious, both have policies which could be incredibly damaging to the country.

[Lucy @lucyfives]

@bindelj Just inadvertently played that on my speaker and my dog was most confused (doing his head wobble thing, trying to understand). There’s a lot of bizarre woofing going on. 😬

@KodaScott1 Certainly don't hear us.

Yes, the people who call themselves 'trans' exist and they deserve exactly the same rights as everyone else, which, fortunately, they already have in the UK. It would rightly be considered discrimination if a person was refused employment, housing or the vote because they identified as trans.

'Trans women are women' is a thought-terminating cliché. Men are not women. That doesn't mean they're not allowed to present themselves however they like, call themselves whatever they like and believe whatever they like about themselves. It means they haven't changed sex.

If we replace the objective, observable characteristic of sex with the unfalsifiable concept of gender identify, women and girls lose, among other things, their right to fair and safe sport and women-only spaces, including changing rooms, prison cells and rape crisis services.

Women and girls are provably more vulnerable to forms of abuse including sexual assault, harassment and voyeurism in mixed-sex spaces. There is no evidence that trans-identified men don't have exactly the same rates of criminal offending as all other men.

Trans people exist. I have no desire for them not to exist; indeed, I wish them safety, happiness and health. However, 'existence' does not, and should not, mean the violation of other people's right to privacy, dignity and freedom of speech, or the reconfiguration of society to indulge a fallacy.
