If you want to summarise just how messed up the United Kingdom is in a single sentence:

The UK government believes that 11 year olds are too young to watch YouTube but old enough to block their puberty and render themselves infertile.

A Monday morning question for you:

The common narrative is that kids learn faster than adults, but if you watch any toddler they spend a large portion of the day attempting things that are on the edge of their ability.

How much time have you spent on the edge of your ability today?

These were criminal offences for decades under the Immigration & Identity Documents Acts. Instead of rebranding existing laws as 'news' to treat us like we’re thick, how about actually enforcing them?

[Constance A Grayson @oddsop]

In what world were fraud, human trafficking, and illegal entry 'legal' until this morning?

[Home Office @ukhomeoffice]

We have made it illegal to: 

✖️ Promote illegal entry on social media
✖️ Sell fake travel documents
✖️ Promise illegal working opportunities in the UK. 

Smugglers cannot be allowed to advertise their deadly services online.

It’s time @parkrunUK are you going to be one of the last ones to see common sense 🙄

[Sall Grover @salltweets]

What women have been saying *for years* will now be listened to because the mens said it.

You know what, whatever, so long as it’s listened to. 🤷‍♀️

Not listening to women will be our next battle, you know, after we have our rights back & are a legal sex class men can’t ID into.

When Nigeria issues an alert to its citizens to stay away from the UK due to the violence, it does make you wonder; how much inbreeding have we actually done in this country?

[Dr Louise Newson @drlouisenewson]

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) causes around one death every eight minutes in women in the UK. Differences exist between women and men in presentation, outcomes and pathophysiological mechanisms making CVD a more severe disease for women than men.

Women who start HRT within 10 years of their menopause have been shown in studies to have a significantly lower all-cause mortality and also lower incidence of coronary heart disease. Women starting body identical hormones at an older age are still likely to gain benefit but the large studies have not been done.

Many people do not realise that, unlike for men, treatment for women with statins or ACE inhibitors for primary prevention of CVD do not statistically significantly reduce all-cause mortality or coronary heart disease incidence.

HRT is much more a superior treatment for prevention of CVD plus it improves symptoms, improves quality of life and also will reduce future risk of osteoporosis, type 2 diabetes, bowel cancer and clinical depression.

So YouTube suspends Russell Brand from making money on its platform.

His live shows have been indefinitely postponed and refunds offered.

His body of work on Channel4 has been scrubbed.

And yet there is not even an arrest or an interview under caution.

THIS is cancel culture.

Woe betide anyone who gets accused for anything they did - last year or 15 or even 40 years ago. I don’t care about someone’s politics or celebrity status, but everyone deserves to be considered innocent until PROVEN guilty in a court.
