Hate to be annoying, but any chance you could retweet so old twitter followers can find me if they want to? Going to delete my twitter, or at least abandon it on lock and let it die a slow death.

White men, imagine you go for a job. The interview panel is three black women. The board of directors is all black women and has been, without exception, forever. You notice that all supervisors are black women and the only white man you see is cleaning. The company insists they appoint on merit /1

This is a lie.
There are many criticisms you might sensibly and truthfully make of the Sentencing Council and the Sentencing Guidelines. I’ve been making them for years.
But this is an outright lie. Pure fabrication. A fraud on the public.

UK Justice Minister: "I want to thank the police for their bravery and their courage in carrying out their diligent duties in the line of public protection..." Yeah, those little old ladies are violent lunatics. To say nothing of the blind terrorist in a wheelchair. Well done brave police.

I don’t understand Yvette Cooper’s moral universe where we are supposed to feel more threatened by protesters spray painting war planes than our own government’s steadfast support of a regime who everyday find more horrendous ways to murder people .
More than 400 people in Gaza have now been killed trying to reach food at sites run by the ‘Gaza Humanitarian Foundation’. “The attempt to survive is being met with a death sentence,” says Jonathan Whittall, UN humanitarian coordination office (OCHA).

While delighted with the EU/UK agreements today, it's still rather tragic to see the joy and celebration just from clawing back a TINY fraction of the benefits the UK chose to bin with Brexit.

I am resident outside the UK, but after many years of disenfranchisement regained my voting rights for the last election. I voted LibDem, not Labour, I admit pure 'strategy' to GTTO. And it worked! But next time: no strategic stuff. 100% LibDem and no chance racist Labour.

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A “TRADE DEFICIT”—IT’S JUST CALLED “BUYING THINGS.” YOU DO NOT HAVE A TRADE DEFICIT WITH YOUR DENTIST JUST BECAUSE HE NEVER BUYS ANYTHING FROM YOU.

This is Winston Churchill visiting the White House during World War II.
Funny how he isn’t wearing a suit either. Almost like he was a wartime leader defending his country from being slaughtered and wiped out by an authoritarian aggressor.

If you are at an event where someone on stage gives a Hitler salute and that person is not dragged off by security and kicked out, you are at a Nazi rally.

It's not "controversial," guys, it's a Nazi salute. You can call it out as such. Stop dancing around the truth.
Steve Bannon whipped up the CPAC crowd by talking about the possibility of Trump staying in office for a third term—and concluded his speech by giving a provocative gesture that resembled the controversial salute Elon Musk gave at a post-inauguration rally last month.
Steve Bannon Mimics Elon Musk’s VERY Controversial Salute
The president himself has suggested the idea of staying in office many times since moving back into the White House.

It seems common these days to have people in positions of power who just work on vibes and lack EQ awareness. Ian Hislop tells the story of when he met Justin Welby a day after the resignation, it seems the CofE forgot to teach contrition, or the Archbishop just has bad #comms advisors

Well well - finally moving to Bluesky. Used "Sky Follower Bridge" to auto-find 126 matches for existing Twitters follows - a few false positives, but looked pretty good. Looking forward to it - less of the Twitter/X cesspit, more niceness I hope!!
