I am so over pretending that posh privileged elite males are an oppressed minority if they demand access to women only spaces. Fuck off already you manipulative creepy posh wanker.

#Ukraine
Dans The Harvest of Sorrow, paru en 1986, l'historien britannique et membre du Parti communiste de Grande-Bretagne, Robert Conquest évalue à cinq millions le nombre de victimes ukrainiennes de la famine, pour un total de sept millions de morts dans l'ensemble de l'URSS, estimation que l'auteur juge « modérée ».
L'Ukraine a donc subi plus de 70% des morts du Holodomor alors qu'elle ne constituait que 20% de la population de l'URSS.
Ce que vous avancez est à peu près aussi honnête que de dire que la Shoah est une fable puisque Hitler a aussi génocidé les Tziganes.

@leathergregory Looks like a pajama top

[Bev Jackson @BevJacksonAuth]

With a completely straight face, a young man who “identifies as non-binary” explains his plight as a member of a “marginalized minority”.

And the Herald simply goes along with it.

I think so often these days how much I miss Monty Python. What do you think, @JohnCleese? Can we not get people to laugh at this nonsense?

Armenian customs officers at the Agarak border crossing just pulled off their biggest haul yet: 143 bundles of natural human hair confiscated from an Iranian truck driver on June 9.

That's not some random smuggling run. This marks the 11th seizure since January, with the total haul now sitting at 135.7 kilograms of raw, bundled women's hair — shades from jet black to blonde, tied neatly like they're prepping inventory for export.

Look at the photo. Rows upon rows. This isn't extensions from willing donors. This is industrial scale.

Iranian opposition voices on X are connecting the dots straight to the January 2026 protests. You remember — security forces opened fire, hundreds killed in the streets. The regime's usual playbook. But something was off from day one: families reporting missing young women... and strangely few female bodies turning up in the morgues for the death toll.

Then the horror stories started leaking: female victims handed back to families completely bald. Shaved clean. "Confirmation" doesn't even begin to cover it. We even had reports of necrophilia.

This hair trade surge isn't coincidence. It's the regime turning its own slaughtered daughters into profit. Hair extensions are big money — natural Iranian hair especially fetches premium prices in Turkey, Europe, black markets everywhere. While the world looks away, the IRGC and their networks are allegedly harvesting the dead (or worse, the barely alive) to fund the machine that killed them.

143 bundles in one truck. 11 busts already. How many more shipments made it through? How many more girls disappeared into this nightmare supply chain?

The protests exposed the regime's brutality. This exposes its depravity. They don't just kill the women of Iran — they scalp them for export.

Every bundle you see in that image represents lives erased twice over. First in the streets. Then in some hair factory.

Share this. The world needs to see what "Islamic Republic" efficiency really looks like in 2026. Only when this regime falls, the world will see the physical and psychological nightmare Iranians have been through.

Employers should have withdrawn “inclusive” policies in Feb 2022 at the latest, when it was confirmed in @ForWomenScot’s 1st case that self ID isn’t the law

It’s not rocket science. Men’s, women’s and a mixed sex space if practicable

Maybe read this ⤵️

764 bundles of Iranian human hair found during attempts to smuggle it across the Armenian border from Iran since January. These are just the ones that are known.

Many women’s bodies were not returned after the January Massacre.

They took their hair.

@GreenBhoy1967 That really is not how it works. The police present evidence to the Crown Office if they think there is a case (they did). CO then decides whether to proceed (they decided not to). The head of the CO is a Sturgeon appointee who sat in her cabinet. She was not "cleared"

[Michael Weiss @michaeldweiss]

They used to have George Bernard Shaw and H.G. Wells visit and profess to have seen the future. Edmund Wilson defended Lenin and T.S. Eliot refused to publish “Animal Farm” at Faber & Faber because he didn’t want to upset Stalin. Now they have rapists, Holocaust deniers and podcasters who can’t pronounce their own names correctly. This is a regime that pretends Steven Seagal is a movie star and Jeffrey Sachs is relevant. Even Trump can’t deliver for them the way they need, while Zelensky — the target of how many assassination attempts? — jokes about drones in St. Petersburg. Everything you’re seeing is what Ronald Hingley and Robert Conquest were getting at about an inferiority complex cocooned inside a superiority complex. They’re skimming the dregs and they know it and they absolutely hate you for it.

[Rambling Pitchfork @rampitchfork]

@jollyman56 @DeMcbot @Dennynews @FacundoSavala Expanding the remit of an enquiry is the classic method by which corrupt institutions try to evade exposure and scrutiny. They never want an in depth, focused enquiry into an established case of corrution.

[Kareem Rifai 🌐 @KareemRifai]

Congratulations to everyone who correctly identified Snowden as an obvious Russian asset!

[ScottishFamilyParty @scotfamparty]

This is a bit mad.

Craig Fergusson embarked on a sponsored walk to benefit Scottish Action for Mental Health. Well done him. A noble cause.

Then John Swinney jumps in, in a remarkable selfless gesture, and gives £400,000 of public money, receiving nothing whatsoever in return apart from a great photo op, the chance to appear highly virtuous, and a massive popularity boost among Craig's associates.

Scottish Action for Mental Health is already funded by cash-strapped Councils and the Scottish Government.

One might have hoped for intelligent budgeting based on the objective assessment of needs.

But, instead of proper grown-up governance, Swinney allocates cash according to who goes on a long walk.

[Rosie Duffield MP @RosieDuffield1]

@LucyHunterB Those selected as candidates for '24 GE did so through a panel of entrenched fully-on-board activists who attempted for years to get me/all GCs out of the LP. They remain influencial, dominating the NEC, No10, Labour Party HQ. That's why some MPs who don't believe have signed.

[Rambling Pitchfork @rampitchfork]

@rik_big The classic way for corrupt establishments to avoid proper investigation is to dilute enquiries by "broadening the remit". This is exactly the lifeline that Greer threw to the SNP.

[ArianaGic/Аріянॳць @GicAriana]

This is for every loser who has ever spoken about "pro-Russian Ukrainian separatists". THIS is one of those "separatists" - a RUSSIAN ARMY GENERAL admitting that RUSSIAN FORCES deliberately killed civilians ON HIS ORDERS in Ukraine in 2014. And he's still inciting genocide today.

[ERA @EastRenAsks]

Q knows that some transwomen are just men pretending to be women but is willing to expose women to this risk because he's a scumbag

How do we know he knows this?

From his own research

He's a dangerous fanatic

[Rambling Pitchfork @rampitchfork]

@ProfPMiddleton This is bollux. The Greens dug the SNP out of a hole by offering the nebulous whitewash of a generalised enquiry rather than a focused investigation. It is the classic way corrupt establishments avoid exposure & consequences - broaden the remit.
