“Hidden” if you’ve ignored every other scandal, act of violence, whistle blown. Horrific but sadly not “shocking” as Starmer says - it’s exactly what you’d expect based on recent evidence. Let’s see how long it takes govt and police to forget and move on this time www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
I feel like this hasn’t been said loudly enough: if you want to protest and do so at the place of residence of people with no power or influence, that isn’t a protest. It’s intimidation and harassment, and inherently violent
8 years 💔 No justice 💚

Reckon we’re around two days from JK Rowling insisting she can’t be anti-asexual because of the existence of the asexual character, David Virgincunt, a third year Hufflepuff student.
“In 2023 in the UK, there were 6,522 stories relating to trans+ people in mainstream titles. That's almost 18 stories a day with a majority having negative framing.”
Why are brands still advertising on these platforms???

Of course, refusing to work with extremists is much more likely to bolster, legitimise and spread their views than working with them in a way that bolsters, legitimises and spreads their views
The word ‘laws’ is doing a lot of heavy lifting
Fourteen hours before the crash. 👇
The project, which asked autistic subjects for their saliva for reasons that definitely have nothing to do with eugenics, honest, announced yesterday that it was closing the doors to its creepy basement lab (probably) after autistics responded with a resounding “ew, stop it.”
They are just trying to get us used to the idea that the military can just enter states and do what they are ordered to - normalizing it!
In-work benefits are employer subsidies. Make employers pay workers enough to live on. Be honest about employer subsidies and apply your sanctions and regulations to them
Pronouns in your bio = bigot repellent
If you believe a world is possible in which everyone is doing more or less ok, you’re an unrealistic dreamer. Because people are conditioned to believe that mass human suffering is inevitable, and it’s just a question of who (so just make sure it ain’t you)
People are saying the policies are more important but the reason this is so scary is it encapsulates the point we’ve reached: where the US government know they can Nazi salute without consequence, and global leaders adopt a policy of appeasement
English is an EU language
I suppose so. The official reports I’ve seen say there are so few trans prisoners that such data is statistically insignificant, so they don’t provide it
Do you know where the official data is? I can’t find the source
He doesn’t care if it’s true and neither does the Telegraph. It’s about creating a narrative to manipulate people. It’s the repetition that’s effective, not the credibility of the lies
They want to make sure GPs are too scared to prescribe (the few who haven’t already been scared off). It doesn’t matter that they don’t have a case; no GP wants to risk being taken to court over this
One of my favs
Because UK billionaires are benign influences on our democracy and it’s just those pesky foreign ones we need to stop
The more people say this the more I hear: “It’s fine for rich people to buy our democracy - as long as they’re not foreign.”
I don’t want billionaire Brits buying our democracy either. Let’s just fund political parties centrally
Hillary Cass scolding MPs who oppose the puberty blocker ban when her own (debunked and misleading) review didn’t even recommend a ban anyway sums up how disingenuous transphobes are.
Their contempt for the working classes is visceral
I think Badenoch said she likes a Scrooge story. It’s almost like a book’s message can be completely lost. One of the problems is our education system is very prescriptive and doesn’t teach or encourage analytical thought. So the message you take is the one given in the curriculum
Animal Farm is on the GCSE curriculum
Another useless distraction. We can’t even stop teens drinking and smoking, so how is a social media ban going to work? Just make it safer for everyone by regulating the platforms
They’re so weird
Libs: Trans people and allies are biased towards supporting trans kids
Trans folk: Yes, so we look objectively at the research as we want trans kids to get safe, effective treatment
Libs: Can’t listen to you then. We’ll listen to people who want trans folk not to exist - they say they’re not biased
