Every bomb dropped, every child killed, bears the stain of British complicity.
This genocide is made possible by the UK, US, and EU — arming, funding and shielding Israel as it massacres with impunity.
How do those responsible sleep at night?

for all the many and various arguments I could go long on against the Lime bike, the one most clearly evident to literally anyone in London with eyes is that when you ride one you look so so lame.

Labour's new policy - of humiliating trans people by requiring them constantly to self-identify - we believe puts the UK (again) in breach of its obligations under the European Convention on Human Rights and will seek a declaration of incompatability. goodlaw.social/0r6l

Or better still, add ‘-AI’ to your search terms to stop them altogether
This is really important. Do NOT use the AI summaries at the top of google searches. Ignore them. This is especially important if you don't have any prior knowledge about the topic, but also a good general rule.
Search sources, scrutinize them carefully and double-check with other sources.

The idea that trans women should use men’s toilets, and trans men should use women’s toilets, is completely absurd and unworkable.
Research has shown that half of trans people fear using toilets as it is.
All of this will simply help drive trans people out of society.

We lost the only true moral leader on the world stage.
It's immense.
But Pope Francis led by listening to the grassroots, lifting up the people's demands.
He put "ecological debt" in the climate encyclical, a concept that emerged in Ecuador's oil-poisoned jungle.
Millions of leaders remain.

regardless of today’s outcome, it is morally indefensible to have a court ruling on something that affects a population, using evidence and findings that did not consult a single member of that population.

every single person who supports this is an enemy of feminism & those who wrap their bigotry in fake concerns about “women & girls” deserve no sympathy & no mercy for doing so
The UK Supreme Court has unanimously decided that the definition of sex under the Equality Act 2010 refers solely to biological sex, and does not include people with a Gender Recognition Certificate.

Very few people would physically rob a disabled person, but put a few hundred of you careerist scumbags into a fancy palace in London and you're fleecing them immediately. Curious!
Very few people would scream at people in the street the way they scream at people on social media.
It really does bring out the very worst of people.
My in person coffee mornings are civilised and where people can disagree agreeably.
I wish people could be more like that on social media.

was scheming a heist of Waterstones to get a new copy of the book I left on the train so I could finish it.
only occurred to me today to join the library and borrow it instead.
feels particularly late capitalist to contemplate theft before assuming you can access a free public service.
