@AndrewGold_ok She’s the perfect example of a champagne socialist/chattering class fool. No idea whatsoever about the real world. She thinks nothing’s changed since the 90s because she hasn’t deigned to look down her nose at us ordinary folk since then.

I can’t tell if movie studios are terrible at making trailers these days or if their films are just so bad, these trailers are the best they can do. Either way, a trip to the cinema is expensive so I won’t be risking it for a film that looks so mediocre.

@TheatreSpoonie They saved me. Without that space I would have been raped by the man who drugged me. Luckily I could get to the only place he wasn’t allowed. That was a long time ago, nowadays women like you would welcome him in & allow him to take me away.

@edentanu3 @SeanKy_ I apologise on behalf of the British for your experience! Our food is actually very nice but some of the ‘instant’ foods aren’t great.

@robotatama Well… I wasn’t expecting to see this today! Hello from England!

@edentanu3 @SeanKy_ You poor soul, were you tricked into trying a pot noodle? Back then even the British acknowledged that our instant noodles were awful but also cheap, easy & quick - they were generally the food of students. There are much better options now.

@SonohennoKuma I don’t know which countries you are talking about but in England, Fukushima was seen as a terrible & tragic natural disaster that Japan was not to blame for. We felt deeply for your people & worry whenever you’re hit by natural disasters.

@read_lorra14618 @TRobinsonNewEra @benhabib6 If Rupert Lowe’s enquiry focused solely on the clergy, or any other group which mainly consists of white men, there’s no way you’d demand there be balance with the inclusion of Pakistani rape gangs.

@DreyfusJames This scene from The Thin Blue Line shows how imperfect even non-Tourette’s sufferers can be, esp when under pressure. Disabled people with various conditions often say the wrong thing without malice, we need to see that & accept them, not banish them. youtu.be/iO7ivR6Picg

@MillerJ04480452 @ExInspectorBDS @ishamlee2 @LuciaPrincess8 Have you never had a fleeting thought that you would never in a million years say out loud? Not a mindset in anyway, just a quick intrusive thought? Tourette’s makes you voice that thought without hesitation & often loudly.

A twelve-year-old girl found a skeleton in a cliff. Two hundred million years old. A creature nobody had ever seen. The men who came to look at it didn't write down her name. Her name was Mary Anning. Her father was dead. Her family was in debt. She didn't even have shoes that kept the water out. She'd been digging fossils out of the rock since she was five to keep them alive. At twelve: an ichthyosaur. A sea dragon. The first complete skeleton the scientific world had ever seen. At twenty-five: a plesiosaur. A creature with a neck longer than its body. French scientists said it couldn't be real. It was. Then a pterosaur. The first flying reptile ever found in Britain. She was finding creatures that proved life on Earth was older and stranger than anyone had imagined. From a beach in Dorset. And nobody would put her name on any of it. Because she was poor. And she was a woman. They bought her fossils for pennies. Published papers in their own names. The Geological Society of London never admitted her. They wouldn't accept women for another seventy years. She wrote: "The world has used me so unkindly, I fear it has made me suspicious of everyone." She died at forty-seven. They gave her a eulogy. The first they'd ever given a woman. Then they forgot her. For a century. Her fossils are still in the museums. Her name wasn't on any of them. proudofus.co.uk/support Be part of us.

You’re right. It does lack historical analysis. I should have pointed out that there have been — and are — many places in which black people are not oppressed, and where they are allowed to succeed to the limits of their ability. There are countries run entirely by black people; there are all-black legislatures; there arep societies that are run entirely by black leadership — and there always have been. Black history is not a tale of constant, unending oppression in every country, and there are many, many places in which being black is no disadvantage. Women, on the other hand, have been — and still are — oppressed in every single society we have records for. There are no female-majority legislatures, or legislatures with proportional representation, and there never have been. Being born female is to be seen and treated as lesser-than for one’s entire life. Furthermore, being female means - and has always meant - being the potential target of male sexual violence from the moment of birth until death has rendered one’s body too putrescent for further sexual abuse. Even then, the abuse sometimes resumes once the victim is skeletonized. The youngest rape victim I’ve heard of from another LEO was two days old. The oldest was 93. Personally, the youngest victim I’ve encountered was 3 months old. The oldest was 89. She had a mop handle jammed into her vagina so hard that it penetrated into her chest cavity, and she died from shock and blood loss on her own kitchen floor. And why was she targeted? Because she was female. Because she was vulnerable in a way that men simply aren’t, no matter what clothes they wear or what name they use. That vulnerability is universal: there is no society in which women do not make up the overwhelming and vastly disproportionate majority of the victims of sexual violence, and there never has been. For a man to claim womanhood based on his identification with cultural stereotypes about women is to deny the fact that it is femaleness that makes women vulnerable, rather than the performance of femininity. If womanhood can be identified into and out of, then the sexual violence women endure can also be identified into and out of, and is thus our own fault — making gender ideology nothing more than another version of the old pernicious lie that pins the blame for rape and sexual violence on its victims.

@JillFilipovic Most ‘poor’ people would never dream of committing crimes. Assuming criminal behaviour relates to poverty is incredibly insulting & you just make life harder for them.

@ShahrarAli @MigrationWatch She specifically mentions low/minimum wage workers as those undeserving of gratitude, reminiscent of the Indian caste system. I bet she considers herself a ‘Proud Socialist’ though.

@Whos_harv This is exactly my story however it didn’t even occur to me to exploit another woman’s body to have a third child.

@salltweets @Slatzism The women that the above post is talking about agree with bad men & fight for their causes. They are very much pro p*rn & disagreeing women are denigrated & silenced. They get so much traction as they’re pro patriarchy & give misogynists a way to claim feminism.

'He has a point, but he's too blunt.' From the start, a key tactic of the gender identitarians has been linguistic prescription, and it's proved shockingly successful. Trans activists' shibboleths and euphemisms have been allowed to penetrate the upper echelons of our culture with devastating consequences to freedom of speech and belief. Huge swathes of liberal media, the arts, academia and publishing have thrown themselves with gusto into the defence of a quasi-religious belief causing provable real world harm, and in their arrogance they've been outraged when people they assumed were part of their In Group have refused to march meekly along in lock step. Time and again, I've seen and heard well-educated people who consider themselves critical thinkers and bold truth-tellers squirm when put on the spot. 'Well, yes, maybe there's something in what you're saying, but it's hateful/provocative/rude not to use the approved language/pretend people can literally change sex/keep drawing attention to medical malpractice or opportunistic sexual predators. Why can't you be nice? Why won't you pretend? We thought you were one of us! Don't you realise we have sophisticated new words and phrases these days that obviate the necessity of thinking any of this through?' As the vibe shifts, and a lot of people in the elite professions start trying to reposition themselves, the obvious place to start is, 'it's not that I couldn't see your point, but did you have to say it that way?' We dissenters were supposed to find a way of questioning the chemical castration of children while calling it 'gender affirming care.' We were meant to defend the rights of vulnerable women while also using female pronouns for male rapists. We should have found a way to discuss fairness for women and girls in sport, while pretending that the ineradicable physical advantage men have over women doesn't exist. Either a man can be a woman, or he can't. Either women deserve rights, or they don't. Either there's a provable medical benefit to transitioning children, or there isn't. Either you're on the side of a totalitarian ideology that seeks to impose falsehoods on society through the threat of ostracisation, shaming and violence, or you're not. The alternative to being 'blunt' - using accurate, factual language to describe what was going on - was to surrender freedom of speech and espouse ideological jargon that obfuscated the issues and the harms caused. We've always needed blunt people, but we need them most of all when being asked to bow down to a naked emperor.

Interesting interview with @Glinner on @GBNEWS a few minutes ago about the trans debate. It's interesting how the tide is turning in his favour. I've seen old friends who shunned him admit he has a point but that he was too blunt. Even that would was unthinkable a few years ago

@HamleysOfficial I’d like to give lots of praise to one of your employees who was working at the Tower Bridge station store yesterday (30th nov), using a bubble gun outside. He was so friendly, playful & natural with my son who loved playing with the bubbles.

Remember a few weeks ago when parents protested outside the Epping Hotel because they’d heard that a resident there had sexually assaulted a girl? And remember how a bunch of people with "Stand up to Racism" banners turned up to protest against those parents? Well, it turns out the parents were right. That man has now been convicted of sexually assaulting more than one person. So to recap, Stand Up To Racism supported a rapist. They protested against parents who were trying to protect their children from a rapist. They did this because the people protesting the rape of women and girls were working class and white therefor they were automatically seen as racist. This is the same story we've seen happen across the UK for the last 50 years. Working class people are not just not listened to. They are actively shouted down and vilified just for wanted to keep their children safe.
