Last night at @scotpag event at @ScotParl I went to use the loo nearest the Fleming Room. On the door was a sign with male and female figures on. Upon entering I found three cubicles with doors with gaps both top and bottom and three shared wash basins. Women or men wanting single sex facilities have to go to the far end of the public area. Why is our parliament openly flouting the law?

I’ve now learned that members of Tribunal Tweets have also not been sent links to remotely observe the Peggie v RCN, in contravention of a case management decision made by the judge in this case. I’ve written to the President of the Scottish Employment Tribunals to complain.

Stop treating the adult population like children and stop allowing adults who behave like despotic toddlers to decree what the rest of us are allowed to watch.

[Jonathan Hinder MP @Jonathan_Hinder]

Speaking against the loosening of surrogacy regulations, suggested by a parliamentary petition. The government rightly rejected it.

Babies are not goods to be ordered.

Pregnant women are not factories.

[Hadley Freeman @HadleyFreeman]

An absolutely perfect example of progressive brain rot: western women are bigots for wanting women-only spaces, but Muslim men are celebrated for insisting on men-only spaces

Then the lawsuits will keep coming. Should any female patient or member of staff require funding to fight this assault on their legal rights, apply to https://t.co/iyohnrgVZN

Really think there needs to be an independent review into extent to which police are mis-policing speech, to the detriment of our democratic rights. Undertaken by a former judge or similar. A raft of egs of police infringing our rights is undermining confidence in the police.

[Julia Hartley-Brewer @JuliaHB1]

What a joke - and a waste of taxpayers' money this would be.

We don't need a public inquiry into a handful of rich rapists. We KNOW how they escaped justice: using their wealth and power.

This is just a bid to divert attention from the public inquiry into the THOUSANDS of grooming gang rapists who were allowed to abuse girls for decades with impunity.

[Sharron Davies HoL MBE @sharrond62]

5 years for murder! This is not ok

[Sonia Sodha @soniasodha]

It’s (literally) chilling. We need a reset. The police need to understand there are lawful limits on their behaviour.

[ClarksonsFarm @ClarksonsFarm1]

Absolutely! Bring on the wonky veg!😎

Is anyone looking after the interests of the babies ?

🚨🐐‼️ IMPORTANT BACKGROUND ON THE GOATS STOLEN FROM RAINHAM, KENT – PLEASE READ & SHARE ‼️🐐🚨

Sharing this urgent update about the two goats stolen last week from #rainham, Kent from their owner, Katie.

Previous here: https://t.co/BBEgckmnYt

They have now been confirmed to have been taken to a travellers site on Dickins Estate, #Gravesend.

📹 New footage shows one goat is STILL ALIVE, but her ear tag has been ripped out, leaving her in pain, stressed, shaking and terrified

😢💔 Police attended the site today but couldn’t find either goat, only a small black goat that had been kept in the same field.

Katie received a call from a sick person that the second goat had been taken to a "curry house". This may not be a hoax as there is no sign of her.

💰 A reward is STILL being offered for the goats' SAFE return.
🙏 If anyone knows ANYTHING, even the smallest detail, please come forward. This is the closest the owners have come to bringing home Maggie and Maple.

📸 Photos taken today show many neglected and abused horses on the travellers site too… this situation is deeply worrying and much bigger than just the goats 💔🐴‼️

Please keep sharing. Please keep looking.

These beautiful girls deserve to come home 🐐❤️.

Woeful performance from government minister on @BBCr4today. Women and other victims of violent crime don't want perpetrators to be under restrictions in the community. They want them serving their sentences in prison.

🚨 STOLEN GOATS – HEARTBREAKING THEFT IN RAINHAM, EAST LONDON 🚨

Two much‑loved Golden Guernsey goats — Maggie and Maple — were snatched overnight from Peel Stable, Mereborough Road, #rainham, sometime between 9pm Saturday 18 July and 7.30am Sunday 19 July.

A 40–50cm hole was cut through the barbed‑wire fence, then tied back to hide it.

Someone chased these goats around their field, dragged them through that hole, and took them.

Maple suffers from serious seizures and has only just finished medication. Without the right care, she is at real risk.

Their owner is devastated.

The goats were bottle‑fed from 10 weeks old, raised alongside the family’s horses, pony, ducks, chickens, cats, dogs — they are family, not livestock.

If you live near Mereborough Road, Rainham, check your CCTV, Ring doorbells, dashcams, or anything that might show suspicious activity between 9pm Saturday and 7.30am Sunday.

A £1,000 reward is being offered for information that leads to their safe return.

📩 Contact: [email protected]
📞 Or report directly to Kent Police by calling 01634 792209, and quoting 19-1342.

Earlier this month, staff at Buttercups Sanctuary for Goats told local paper KentOnline how they had been left heartbroken after Taco the goat was stolen overnight.

CCTV showed four men stealing him from the site in Boughton Monchelsea, near Maidstone, on July 4.

Seven baby goats were also stolen from their pen at Christmas Tree Farm in Cudham Road, Downe, on June 23. The animals were about four to five weeks old at the time.

Amnesty is no longer the organisation that defended all who were persecuted for their freedom of speech. It has become a self-appointed, vainglorious policeman of wrongthink. It tweets out ideological slogans. It demonises those who disagree with those slogans. It intervened in FWS v Scottish Ministers, on the side of those determined to keep men in women’s prisons and rape crisis centres.

Some of us haven’t forgotten that Amnesty stopped supporting the since-murdered prisoner of conscience Alexei Navalny because they deemed he’d said unacceptable things in the past. They reversed that decision due to public backlash, exactly as they withdrew the recent defamatory report, before I or anyone else had responded to it, because they panicked on seeing the reaction. A cynic might think they changed their minds on both occasions, not on principle, but because they were afraid of losing money.

You cannot be simultaneously an impartial defender of freedom and speech and a wealthy international witch hunter that publicly vilifies and intimidates small campaigning groups with whom you disagree. As for ‘silencing’ Amnesty, I have neither the power nor the desire to do so. I want them to explain as loudly and extensively as possible why they are using their might and formerly lustrous reputation to attack small non-violent campaigning organisations with legally protected beliefs.

[J.K. Rowling @jk_rowling]

UK law never said what you asserted it did. The Supreme Court ruled that 'women' in the Equality Act means, and has always meant, biological women.

For years, well-funded lobbying groups subverted the law by misrepresenting it, to women's detriment. *That* is corruption.

[J.K. Rowling @jk_rowling]

Maybe they’ve decided to belatedly seek legal advice. Unless they’re even more reckless and arrogant than Stonewall, they must surely have anticipated that the organisations they targeted would do so.

[Sonia Sodha @soniasodha]

Amnesty has turned into a joke of an organisation, but that doesn't mean it shouldn't be held to account for publishing likely-defamatory statements about organisations that add far more to the public good than it does today.

[J.K. Rowling @jk_rowling]

It appears that (as many of us have suspected for years) Amnesty believes certain kinds of humans don’t deserve rights: women, girls and those who are proudly same-sex attracted. I hope donors from those groups are taking note.
