@MeadowCoveGifts @GBNEWS I work with refugees and migrants and can categorically tell you this is untrue . They don’t get any benefits, they don’t get free food, no one is providing them with phones . There is a pathway they have to follow to get right to remain. Stop spreading misinformation and hate.

I watched Charlie Kirk’s funeral,
I want to express my condolences to his family. At the same time, I find myself with some serious questions...

[Together With Refugees 🧡 @RefugeeTogether]

Your voices helped end indefinite child detention & stop the Rwanda plan.

These victories matter. But the new Border Security Bill still falls far short of the fair and kind system refugees deserve.

Keep pushing for real change...

I posted about this before, but last month I was a witness in court describing how a man that I did not know, and had never met, battered me at my front door.

His defence solicitor Kieran Clegg said I brought it on myself three times in court- because I didn’t shut the door.

Even when you get as far as court there is a sneering male defence solicitor right there to cheer their male client on that batters you.

@RokoMijic @moveincircles I can tell you as a youth pastor and former teacher this is absolutely what we are seeing. It’s incredibly disturbing, there is a generation of young teens who have learned about sex from porn and it’s altered there perspective of what’s normal and consensual.

This. I think that people get mixed up between reasons and excuses.

There are plenty of reasons why a person may choose to murder/torture/kidnap/rape civilians - they can include growing up in a terrible situation, living in a place like Gaza which has no hope and inhuman conditions - which are caused in part by Israel but also by Hamas. It would be odd to ignore those reasons. But they only go so far.

I often act in inquests about people who have taken their own lives in prisons. There will inevitably be medical records which tell their story and often they lived sad and sometimes horrific lives. And they committed terrible crimes. It can’t be a coincidence.

But there has to be a point - and there is a point - where background factors are no more than that. People have agency - they are not the unthinking products of their environment.

So while there may be relevant reasons which led a person to do terrible, inhuman things, such as massacre hundreds of young people attending a music festival, or going door to door in a kibbutz to mow down families, we do not treat those reasons as excusing their conduct. And we don’t expect, if we do those things ourselves, to be excused. They are *crimes*. We call it *terrorism* for a reason - it is done to create terror and carnage. That is the purpose.

Human rights laws and ideas are not the ultimate answer to any question, and certainly not to one of the most complex and entrenched conflicts in the world. But I like to think they do clarify some of the lines which cannot be crossed, whatever the reason, whether it’s extreme religious ideology or a misguided attempt at retribution. And that includes all sides.

That doesn’t mean we should ignore background factors, but they must be put in their proper place, which is background not justification.

Murder - torture - kidnap - rape - these are never excusable and should never be excused.

Not enough medical professionals are standing up to this lunacy.

The GMC has no right to remove all references to the word 'mother' from maternity documents.

Only women can get pregnant and give birth.

Sorry, but that's a biological fact.

A little something I’ve been meaning to start for a while. I can’t promise the posts will be frequent or necessarily that scintillating- it’s more a way of me keeping accountable to what I’ve promised myself!

On #bbcqt Yasmin Alibhai-Brown points out “Stanley Johnson was a wife beater”

Fiona Bruce helpfully explains “he broke his wife’s nose, she was hospitalised”

“ it did happen, BUT it was a one off”

What a defence - only occasional domestic violence 🤔
