Will journalists be able to report news from Iran? On attacks by Israel or US on civilians or other infrastructure? Will they be able to expose the murder of children in a school? Is this "terrorist agenda" a gag to prevent public knowledge of further atrocities?
BREAKING: Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards will be effectively proscribed as a terrorist group, the home office has announced.
Ministers are today laying draft regulations before parliament to ban the IRGC and fellow Iranian group the Islamic Movement of Companions of the Right (IMCR).
The GRU, the Russian military intelligence unit, will also be designated, if approved by parliament.
@shularises Crazy. The Orange Order wouldn't ever be a bastion for women's rights! It does expose many so called "terf's" agenda is more aligned to the anti gay, anti migrant, anti Muslim (not forgetting anti Irish) beliefs of extreme loyalism. By their company you shall know them.
You need to put "Tina" in inverted commas as well.
The gay rights movement spent decades trying to distance themselves from accusations of predation & pedophilia. Yet it seems these men still manage to find prominent positions within it. How many is this now?
Really? Russians & Iranians? Was it the Russians or was it the Iranians who were responsible for the burning of the Quinn brothers? Or perhaps the Russians were out egging on the burning of Cuper & Bombay Streets?
Met Police chief Sir Mark Rowley very strong on scenes in Belfast:
"I was watching a bit of the news last night, and I can't remember what channel it was, but a journalist was talking about 'these protesters.'
"I thought, that isn't a protest. People are setting fire to cars. That's not a protest. That's violent disorder, that's criminality. I really feel for Northern Ireland colleagues who are wrestling with that. It's really, really difficult.
"We live in these volatile times and, some of what goes on online whips up, sentiment on the street.
"We know that Russian state actors, Iranian state actors, they want to sow discord on the streets of the UK. So this is a really complex issue we're wrestling with. So you've got very polarised debates in the UK, and you've got other people overseas who want to drive wedge issues to create disorder, and you've got the great men and women of Police Service Northern Ireland on the streets in the middle of that, trying to sort of protect people and stop people burning down houses and things. It's awful."
People are being burned out of their homes by loyalist thugs. Kids clutching teddy bears having to flee. This is Bombay Street all over again. Anyone supporting or condoning these protests bear equal culpability in cheering this on. That includes politicians
Houses are being set on fire near us in east Belfast. Masked groups have approached the GBN crew and told us in no uncertain terms to leave.
We moved back but it wasn’t far enough for one man who was threatening to us. UUP leader Jon Burrows appeared and settled it.
@unisontheunion This is one of the most openly misogynist statements I have seen from any organisation. Esp. since 3/4 of your members are women. You are campaigning to erase women's rights to single sex spaces in the workplace. The guidance IS entirely workable because the law is very clear.
@vonderleyen Did the EU President really discuss the most catastrophic moment in West Asia as if corporate interests mattered more than human life?
This sounds both inhuman and dangerous: it doesn’t just shame the institution Ms @vonderleyen presides over, it makes Europeans look barbaric.
They pulled this stunt in Ireland too. In 2020 they were happy to sign a letter against women standing up for our right to single-sex spaces/sports/prisons. The right to our own vocabulary even! They are ideologically captured and out of touch with reality. No one can change sex!

Israel is bombing Iranian historical monuments dating as far back as the 14th century. Multiple UNESCO World Heritage Sites have been struck.
It's natural that a regime that won't last a century hates nations with ancient pasts. But where's UNESCO? Its silence is unacceptable.
🇮🇹 Il DDL approvato dal Senato italiano oggi non contrasta l'antisemitismo: contrasta solo le critiche alle politiche israeliane. Per assicurarsi che gli Italiani tacciano mentre Israele completa la pulizia etnica della Palestina. Onestamente, una vergogna.
Mourning Jewish lives does not take precedence over trying to stop the further and unrelenting slaughter of Palestinian Muslims. Both are equal unless you believe some lives are more important than others. Jews march with Muslim and Christians in solidarity. As it should be.
Is Cohen insinuating that the genocide of the Palestinian people in Gaza is linked to the Jewish community in the UK? Because many Jews would take issue with that perspective, and many Jews march in solidarity with the Palestinian people wherever the marches take place.
"Pro-Palestinian demonstrators couldn’t give it a rest – not even for 24 hours. They were chanting all the old slogans and ducking all the hard questions. ‘Globalise the intifada,’ they cried – does that mean killing Jews in Manchester?" ✍️@NickCohen4

Trump's ICE goons are out on the streets attacking US citizens and tearing up the rule of law. Israel is inviting the UK far right for a visit, and British Jews are being bullied and derided as 'woke liberal eltitists' by Tommy and Co. Stephen Miller is calling the whole of the left 'terrorists,' and trying to steamroller any judge that tries to protect the Constitution. The Tories join Reform in wanting to rip up our commitment to the European Convention on Human Rights. UnHerd are publishing articles declaring liberalism dead, and seemingly blood and soil is the only way forward. Elon Musk is addressing crowds in London and telling them to fight or die. This app is overflowing with propaganda designed to send limbic systems into overdrive and presenting people with enemies. There is religious conflict being stoked everywhere, it is splilling over into the streets, and our places of worship are no longer safe.
Join the fucking dots people.
This is far far bigger than whoever you have been told is the problem, whoever you have decided to hate, whoever you think needs to be defeated.
If you think you are doing some kind of edgy heterodox anti-authoritarian rebellion against the all-seeing globalists and the evil woke elitists please, stop and try and look at the whole board.
The target here is the entire structure of liberal democracy.
This is authoritarianism dressed up as free speech.
It is patriarchy dressed up as women's rights.
It is tyranny posing as liberation.
