@chrisdurcan1 @KeruboSk Sadly not, I took a flight with a colleague who boarded (inadvertently) using his (make) partners passport … only discovered on arrival

May they walk together in heaven.
We will not let them down.
We will leave our country safer in their name.
That will be my mission.

If you can, share these images of the beautiful soul stolen from us by the worst of humanity.

Let his face today burn bright.
Barney, I promise you there will be accountability 💛💚

@QcWynter My Dad’s MC brought a baby rabbit through the cat flap. Happy ending as he managed to catch said rabbit and free it back into the field.

@Rebecca_SPaul Another example of the appalling misogyny that seems to be commonplace in so many areas , women and girls are being devalued and ignored.

@alenadundas @SarahWoods66 I’m also relatively local and walking down the Kings Road to do some shopping was a nightmare. Won’t try that again during Chelsea week - flower displays lovely but the selfie brigade were appalling causing chaos

[Mandy Venters @mandy_venters]

@SarahWoods66 We went on Thursday too but we got there early (ie before 9) and had a few hours to really enjoy it - it was packed later and we didn’t do everything BUT the absolute disgrace was @BBC and the numbers of stands / gardens that were closed off for filming (and for an hour upwards).

I've just answered that, above. I'll repeat it:

If an adult feels they can only exist comfortably and authentically in this world by dressing in the opposite sex's clothes, having surgeries and taking hormones, or in adopting one of the many gender labels, I wish them safety, happiness and health, as long as they're not harming anyone else. You, however, seem to think that for a trans-identified man to be 'comfortable' and 'authentic', everyone in the vicinity must abandon their freedom of speech and belief to accommodate his 'identity'.

Women are not validation props, comfort blankets or support animals. We aren't a rest home for men who don't like being men. If a person's happiness and self-esteem resides entirely in whether or not they can compel everyone around them to lie, whether out of fear or pity, I would respectfully suggest they are unlikely to have a very comfortable life, and are about as far from being 'authentic' as it is possible to be.

Allies of US in the Gulf bear brunt of Iran attacks https://t.co/OfMay3P1sZ

Yes of course it’s awful in the Gulf states particularly as they are not used to being under attack.

But “bear the brunt”???

Just some of this morning’s alerts in Israel - including targeting Arab areas and Jerusalem:

[Omid Djalili @omid9]

We are all governed by our algorithms. Mine is dominated by animals, Iran, Gaza, Donald Trump and Cole Palmer.

You’d be confused by my feed. Especially the Cole Palmer Plantagenet haircut memes.

However, many have missed the IRGC in Iran boasting of their two day murdering spree in January killing 95,000 innocent Iranians (their numbers, not mine), simply for protesting.

We have shared why this happened. We have shared that it is still happening. We have shared that students across Iran - incredibly and bravely - are still protesting. Right now. Despite the threat of a bullet to the head.

Yet - in addition to missing it - they do everything to deny it. They say nothing about the mass extermination but all of a sudden say “NO to war in Iran.” Without any knowledge of the plight of the people of Iran over the last 47 years. Without any understanding that Iranians have attempted liberation many times and failed because there was never a level playing field. Bare hands Vs military grade weapons usually leads to thousands dead and an evil regime still in power.

The people of Iran DO NOT want war. They want the machinery of repression to be stopped. And in the case of the IRGC, forcibly stopped. Because their crimes against humanity will not stop if no one stops them. It will continue, regardless of any ‘deal’ negotiated with the US administration.

This is not Saddam Hussein 2003. Iran does not have nukes that could reach us in 45 minutes. There will be NO regional war. This is a lie the regime has put out (lapped up by so called “progressives”) as they beg to stay in power. No one is coming to save them. And they know it.

The message is:
No to war. Intervention with #R2P (responsibility to protect). Rescue the people of Iran. If that is not your messaging right now, you are officially parroting a narrative of the Islamic Republic of Iran.

Do you have the decency to challenge your world view? Or are you “hey wasn’t it 6 billion killed? lol 😂”

That is the sense of humour George Carlin is talking about.

Followers of Islam. It’s very simple. You either stand with the people of Iran or you don’t. Do you have the clarity and courage of this Muslim?
“I don’t know how much clearer I can be about this. You should not be silent if you are a Muslim.”

Please stop this cruel on Afghan women.
Please give us our own rights.
Please share my messages 😩

[Hen Mazzig @HenMazzig]

30,000+ Iranians slaughtered in just two days.

48,000+ murdered since December 28, when the uprising against the regime began.

These are the latest figures reported by the ICHR.

Silence helps the regime, not the Iranian people. Speak up now before there is no one left to save.

[Omid Djalili @omid9]

Nothing on @BBCNews about #IranMassacre - not one article.
If I’m being kind it might be because the general population of Britain can’t quite believe there is now overwhelming evidence that so called “security forces” in another country are exterminating their citizens by the thousands mostly shooting them in the head at point blank range for peaceful protest when in Britain you can’t get the police to come out if you’ve had your car stolen.

458 British servicemen & women killed in Afghanistan were not “a little off the front line.” They paid the highest price on it. Whatever your politics, this contempt for their sacrifice is a red line and should unite us all. 🇬🇧

[Neil Stone @DrNeilStone]

THERE IS STILL NO INTERNET FOR 90 MILLION PEOPLE IN IRAN

The regime wants you to forget them

We will not

Be their voice!!!

This little puppy is just starting his life as a herding dog - and instead of leaving him behind, the sheep adjusted their pace, moved gently around him, and guided him forward.

Animals understand more than we think.

They’ll protect him today so he can protect them tomorrow. ❤️

[WDI.Afghanistan @WDIAfghanistan1]

Afghan women are erased from society.
No school, no work, no voice.
We are lonely, abandoned, and forgotten.
Where is the international community?
If Afghan women are not counted as human, then humanity itself has failed. 💔💔

Message from Afghan woman
Please read and share:-
Life for a woman in Afghanistan is beyond belief. Many people may not know what happens outside the home — but what happens inside, behind closed doors, is even worse.
We are forced to endure abuse from both husbands and mothers-in-law. I cook, clean, and wash all day, but I’m still mistreated. My husband beats me.
Once, my mother-in-law told him that I was secretly studying on my phone — and he took my phone away. I feel completely trapped.
Sometimes I think about ending my life, but when I look at my little daughter, I stop — for her. Still, I feel powerless.
Yet whenever my husband is not home, I study in secret.
I want to share my voice with the world.

Please read my message, support me, and be the voice for Afghan women.
