I suspect there is gender stuff happening too? Honest salt of the earth plumbers with proper views are 100% male, by stipulation.

I want all the people like you to be gone.
I don't want you there in the places I go;
I don't understand, and I don't want to know.

Back on Twitter, long before Musk bought it, when it was perceived as having a lib/left cast, journalists were always ticking users off because it wasn’t “real life”. Now it’s X, a far-right site, they tick us off because it’s “the commons” and apparently we’re missing real life by not being there?

This is the most important thing you will read this weekend. Make sure you do and that you act on it. This is not a drill.

Labour’s Trans Section 28 is shameful and disgusting and, more than any else, demonstrates how low the party has fallen. Every Labour MP needs to feel the heat about this.

Have had people asking for ages "if Silvia Federici is wrong about this what can I read by specialists debunking it?", finally something to recommend!

Weird how it's sometimes criminal to defend breaking the law and sometimes not criminal to defend breaking the law.
