A horrific thread
That this man is a POTUS is a terrible indictment of how women are valued (or rather not valued) in the US
They are merely the property of men to be mined for sex & children - barely members of the human race

I’ve been there
What a castle & what a story

Wales moves to outlaw political lies in world-first bill Welsh lawmakers are advancing legislation that would make it a crime for politicians to make false or misleading statements during election campaigns — but would it restore public trust or corrode fre...

Another solution to "$$ = speech" in elections. As Wales we too make it a crime for politicians to lie/mislead ("I approved this ad.")
Free speech is already limited under national security, creating violence, endangering safety -- this would fall under all 3.

The Edict of Expulsion, in which the Jews were expelled from England, and all their property seized by the Crown, helped to save the exchequer from ruin.

Not many people are aware of that sad link.

@goingmedieval.bsky.social
Just listened to the fascinating episode on The Jews of Norwich in which their eventual expulsion from England was mentioned

A side-effect of the conquest of Wales was that the building of the ring of Edwardian castles to subjugate the Welsh virtually bankrupted...

And all those MPs (Labour, LibDem & Tory) with ties to Israel, to Saudi Arabia, to private healthcare companies, to think-tanks funded by the US far right and so on
It’s a FAR bigger problem than Russian influence alone

At the very LEAST the UK government shouldn’t continue to use the precarious social/legal/economic situations Black British people can find themselves in, as a consequence of colonialism & slavery, to further seriously harm those same people

Exclusive | OpenAI Executive Who Opposed ‘Adult Mode’ Fired for Sexual Discrimination Ryan Beiermeister, who served as the vice president leading OpenAI’s product policy team, had raised concerns about the upcoming launch of erotic content.

OpenAI fired a VP who opposed their erotica rollout (and had started a company-wide peer mentorship program for women), allegedly telling her it was because she discriminated against a man 🤔 www.wsj.com/tech/ai/open...

Streeting sent a WhatsApp to Mandelson, acknowledging Israeli war crimes, erhnic cleansing, & brutality towards women & children

3 conclusions:
1 Any decent person would have resigned from the Gov.
2 Streeting isn’t a decent man.
3 Either Streeting is guilty of antisemitism or Corbyn never was.

A plea from Nadia Sawalha for advice from an international lawyer on the legal implications of a WhatsApp message, from Health Minister Wes Streeting to Mandelson, acknowledging Israeli war crimes, erhnic cleansing, & brutality towards women & children

First 'baby bundles' land on doorsteps across Wales Baby bundles, a box of essential supplies, will be offered to expectant families in Flying Start areas of Wales following the role out of a new Welsh Government scheme. Mum-to-be Mollie Young from New...

The baby box, pioneered by the Scottish government, has finally arrived in Wales.
Labour took their time following suit, but better late than never

They share some attributes yes but on balance id rather live in eg Castro’s Cuba than France’s Spain

I changed the audio

No you aren’t
You are turning into 1930s Germany

Why not?
Plenty of countries have fallen into autocracy and fascism
Why not America?

Unherd is the pits

This is absurd.
Debating societies, in universities & elsewhere, decide what they wish to debate & who to invite to speak to those debates.
Reform can’t just demand to determine what’s debated, invite itself to speak to it, then claim Reform is “cancelled” when a debating society says no thank you

What are the children’s commissioners doing about this?
It seems to potentially violate quite a few articles of the UNCRC

1. Bangor University’s 2026 Rankings:
Top 100 UK Universities – 15th

2. Reform need to improve their understanding of the English language they are so mightily proud of: “banned” & “not invited” don’t have the same meaning

3. Oakshott is a cesspit full of shit too toxic for any field

Bangor University’s 2026 Rankings:

Top University in Wales – 1st
Top 100 UK Universities – 15th

Oakshott is a cesspit of snobbery & racism

Western governments with some exceptions are actively enabling and supporting this genocide
That is a really hellish development in the dismantling of the post war Conventions developed to protect human rights in war & in peacetime
Rights which are both universal & indivisible

And your whataboutery distracts from this

It’s about power brokering in the ME
Same reason the current genocidal blood bath in Sudan is not making many headlines
But at least I don’t get threatened with anti terrorism laws if I protest it
Nor is my government supplying arms to the perpetrators

The “representation solves all” approach is simplistic. It neither takes account of the cultural complexity of the population nor the different challenges faced in the various public services
My niece taught in a 1ary school in Borough
Her class had 20+ languages
Do you get 20+ teachers per class?

It isn’t key
It’s one factor &, whatever you say, it’s not easy to achieve
Eg NHS staff are v diverse, but still not representative - & can’t be
In my job as a consultant community paediatrician I served a population of children with 15+ different languages
So I needed to ensure I was competent

Not true
Little attention was/is given to the 11 million Slavs murdered by the Nazis.*
Whereas the Cambodian, Rwandan, Bosnian, Darfur & Yazidi genocides have all been universally condemned.

This is all about giving Israel unequivocal support & erasing the human rights of Palestinians

The US cutting off oil to Cuba is truly one of the most depraved acts it is possible to imagine. Hospitals will close, food production will collapse, people will starve. It is urgent for US citizens, and every sane person, to oppose this barbarism with all their might.
