@Adam_FaithfulM Jesus! You Yanks and your Christ shit! None of above is verifiable - your slaughter of innocents in Iran completely is! If Christ were alive today he’d take a dim view of your orange toddler-in-chief!
@UnderSecPD Europeans like decent Americans are reasonably concerned about the fallout from social media including an unfolding picture of damaged children. You’re trying to silence this as your administration is in lock-step with the ultimate elitists - the tech bros!
@CynicalPublius There are OF COURSE several European equivalent stories to JDV - but most of them have some sense of responsibility to the wider world, rather than gleefully handing power over to the Russians.
Just an idea - perhaps a crowd-sourced fund should be put together to help defend media outlets which are set to be beleaguered and shut down by Trump and Musk #FreeSpeech
@faizashaheen You didn’t deserve the seat, you’ve handed it to IDS, a completely predictable outcome. The constituents of Chingford and Woodford sacrificed on your altar of spite and vanity.
I just signed the petition calling on the next government to back NHS England's plan to hire more permanent NHS staff, instead of wasting taxpayer's money on private agencies. Will you join me? https://t.co/XQqXPhqzdn

Only kidding. Obviously, the people mentioned in the above tweets aren't women at all, but men, every last one of them.
In passing the Scottish Hate Crime Act, Scottish lawmakers seem to have placed higher value on the feelings of men performing their idea of femaleness, however misogynistically or opportunistically, than on the rights and freedoms of actual women and girls. The new legislation is wide open to abuse by activists who wish to silence those of us speaking out about the dangers of eliminating women's and girls’ single-sex spaces, the nonsense made of crime data if violent and sexual assaults committed by men are recorded as female crimes, the grotesque unfairness of allowing males to compete in female sports, the injustice of women’s jobs, honours and opportunities being taken by trans-identified men, and the reality and immutability of biological sex.
For several years now, Scottish women have been pressured by their government and members of the police force to deny the evidence of their eyes and ears, repudiate biological facts and embrace a neo-religious concept of gender that is unprovable and untestable. The re-definition of 'woman' to include every man who declares himself one has already had serious consequences for women's and girls’ rights and safety in Scotland, with the strongest impact felt, as ever, by the most vulnerable, including female prisoners and rape survivors.
It is impossible to accurately describe or tackle the reality of violence and sexual violence committed against women and girls, or address the current assault on women’s and girls’ rights, unless we are allowed to call a man a man. Freedom of speech and belief are at an end in Scotland if the accurate description of biological sex is deemed criminal.
I'm currently out of the country, but if what I've written here qualifies as an offence under the terms of the new act, I look forward to being arrested when I return to the birthplace of the Scottish Enlightenment.

@FreyaManslayer This simply can’t be true eg in 2017 in the Southwark London Borough 4.7% of women had FMG (4.7% too many I agree) There is a Muslim population there of 8.5 %. You do the Maths. If you want to challenge a culture don’t pander to Islamophobia!
I have been struggling to articulate the complex emotions I've been feeling since Saturday morning as a Jew, a liberal/progressive, a believer that Palestinians and Jews have a right to a homeland, to safety and dignity. A thread 1/
Firstly I still feel sick and worried. I have family and friends in Israel. Some were in communities near those that were attacked. Others have children, nephews, grandchildren who have been called up to the IDF. I have friends and colleagues exposed to danger to report 2/
@ValoisDuBins @HadleyFreeman This is just cherry picking - read the whole article; essentially a hatchet job on RB that still rings true in the light of what we now know.
@aptcollins76@MrBruffEnglish Re-reading many classics makes one aware editors were ‘light-handed pruners’ back in the day, a return to Lawrence’s Rainbow made me think some cutting (perhaps a third) would be in order! Moby D like the wonderful War and Peace has whole sections that could be abridged.
@m_chiles Like 1,000s of others we’re all going in to teach Year 11s as part of the union-sanctioned arrangement to support students doing their public exams.
