@DavidDone1 I live closer than Claire and my daughter first heard the alarm at 4 am. Mistakes happen but it is disgusting that mangers have now known about this for many hours and decided it can wait until Monday. Great neighbours!

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.

When it comes to effective sanctions against Russia, an embargo on all energy imports is the only way. But I understand the German concerns, and we are trying to be constructive and reasonable 1/4🧵⬇️ https://t.co/a0WieP6MlE
We estimate that one-third of the gas volume exported from Russia to the EU through Ukraine will be lost if the occupation forces do not stop disrupting the operation of our stations in recently occupied territories.
Powerful interview with the @NaftogazUkraine CEO @VitrenkoYuriy on Talking Business Weekly with @bbcaaron on BBC World News. Vitrenko has described Gazprom as ‘Putin’s favourite geopolitical tool disguised as... [a]... gas company’.

Russian aggression will not stop with Ukraine. We call on all European nations reliant upon Russia for oil and gas to take steps to end their dependency!
Speaking to @NaftogazUkraine CEO @VitrenkoYuriy
- Russian oil sanctions "better late than never"
- "Putin's regime is more rogue now than Iran's regime"
- Direct missile attacks on gas sites: "Every night is a nightmare"
- Working with Red Cross to help evacuate people

@HMRCcustomers Thanks Suchona. Massively inconvenient that these is no email address to contact HMRC, instead I have to sit on the phone…. Which when you work full time isn’t great. And apparently no way to give info easily
@HMRCcustomers hello. I already have a UTR (in my maiden name) but you have sent me a new one in the post under my married name. And now a self assessment form. It seems that you think I am two people. How can I get this sorted out?
