Sighs with sadness and offers solidarity.

Surely they should have suggested Ayn Rand in that case?

I've got a woman in my contacts called Jo go Cunt, I have absolutely no idea who she is or how she got that suffix. As much as I'm curious about her it is a mystery I'll never solve.

No, the popular front of Antifa is over there.

If only such action was remotely predictable.

That's such a beautiful story, well done for saving him. β™₯️

Tawny owl

Tawny owl

Six weeks ago, I picked up a year-old tawny owl with a broken leg off the main road near our home and dropped him off at our nearest vet.

After a few days, I received one of the most bizarre phone calls I’ve ever had, asking β€œSo when are you coming to pick up your owl?” 🧡

There are other words to describe groups of people in the past that we don't use now that we would have done then, rightly we've changed that and yeah I'm a bit concerned that it was still being used in a clinical situation that recently.

Sounds like it yes but there's a really dark Nazi past to Dr Asperger that means it's not typically used for modern discussions around autism.

As true for the Manhattan Project as it was for Rivers of Babylon.

Was hungover and did very little today.

So why did you only mention Israel in that list just then? Why were the Israelis singled out in your statement?

Criticising Israeli policy is not anti-Semitic. Demanding that you link a discussion of the attempted extermination of every European Jew with a critique of current Israeli policy quite possibly is.

Do you also expect these lessons to include the Uyghurs? Or the South Sudanese or are we allowed to talk about the horror or genocide without having to list all of them?

Oh yeah, the online right very much so, apparently it's not just a picture of a cartoon frog.

No, that's the right kind of antisemitism. Not the nasty Islamic kind.

Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to celebrate the recognition of Humanist marriage in England and Wales!

In June, I secured a debate on this very issue, alongside my colleagues Lizzi Collinge MP and Freddie van Mierlo MP, and I’m pleased that following that debate the law is changing.

I think if you're going to use factual data in a discussion you should be prepared to provide your sources. Is that too much to ask?

A simple rule of the right is that it is more egregious to call someone a racist than to be a racist. The latter is understandable, the former unforgivably rude.

Your fine was chatting with him earlier and he assured me you're on the guest list.

A bit like JD Vance's wife having your husband want to deport people like you must be quite the dinner conversation.
