@filmthug @staylorish Pronouns really are ridiculous I agree. But where is the 'he'?

@staylorish Oh dear. Man upset because women are doing feminism wrong in his eyes. Man doesn't understand that feminism is about females. Man thinks feminism is about women being universal support humans & advocating for everyone's rights, even at the expense of their own. Man is an idiot.

[Liz Webster @LizWebsterSBF]

🚨Sir Ian McKellen is quoting Thomas More, writing in 1517 during anti-immigrant riots in London 🔥 when terrified foreigners were dragged from their homes and blamed for every social ill.

More asked the mob a simple question:

“What would you do, if you were the stranger?”

500 years later, those same words cut straight through the noise.

Because today we are again stirring hatred, again blaming the vulnerable, again pretending cruelty is “strength”.

If the great humanists of the 16th century could see the danger…
why can’t our politicians in 2025?

History is speaking louder than ever.
The only question is: are we listening?

Declaration of Conscience

My name is Gordon Dimmack. I am a journalist and a citizen of the UK. On Monday morning, I will walk into a police station and peacefully hand myself in.

Why? Because I support Palestine Action, and I have encouraged others to do the same.

Under the Terrorism Act, that now carries a potential 14-year prison sentence. Not for harming anyone. Not for inciting violence. But for supporting people who oppose genocide, and encouraging others to do so.

That is the state of this country in 2025.

I will not plead ignorance. I know the law. I know the risk. And I am making this decision with full awareness that the state may try to make an example of me.

Let them.

Because if we now live in a country where saying “I oppose genocide” is treated as a criminal act —
if peaceful solidarity with those who resist arms dealers is now considered terrorism —
then the problem isn’t me.

The problem is the law. The problem is the state.
The problem is the moral vacuum swallowing this country whole.

This is not just about Palestine Action.
This is about freedom of conscience, freedom of expression, and the criminalisation of moral clarity.

If they want to arrest me for standing on the side of humanity, they are welcome to.
But let the record show:
I will never apologise for doing the right thing.

Let history remember that I stood up.
And let it remember every name, every badge number, every uniform that tried to silence those who dared to say: Not in my name.

I oppose genocide.
I support Palestine Action.
And if that makes me a criminal — then so be it.

America is complicit in the slaughter of the Palestinian people.

2.2 million people are trapped. Disease is spreading. Children are starving to death.

And we continue to provide U.S. military aid to Netanyahu.

Gary Lineker on Gaza, "It's the worst thing I have seen in my lifetime. Constant images day in, day out of children losing their lives."

"But the minute you raise your voice against it you get accused of being a supporter of Hamas."

Gaza has been a test for our mainstream media. They have failed.

[John Swinney @JohnSwinney]

The Prime Minister’s statement on immigration today will damage our economy, the NHS, social care and our universities. It ignores the need to boost Scotland’s working age population.

This sort of divisive language only plays into Nigel Farage’s hands.

Not in Scotland’s name.
