Except when it's propaganda about trans people, you mean?

Screenshot of an Express article; it says: Robert Jenrick lists 30 'activist judges' he vows to axe in war on UK's open border

In a bold move, Robert Jenrick is set to unveil a controversial plan targeting what he calls 'activist' judges, at the Conservative Party conference.

I say this with the bluntness it requires: they will get people murdered if this continues. This is not just populism anymore either: it’s completely unhinged and a deliberate choice that does endanger lives. I am not saying this lightly at all.

How can people who stand on the wrong side of the escalator, when everyone is rushing to work, not know what they're doing? Sometimes I'll say 'excuse me' when I'm in a rush and they always act like I've scared them 😭

She's long had her reasons for never putting her children's charity reputation laundering project in certain parts of the world.

Sophie Ellis-Bextor hits out at transphobia: "These people make trans people their whole personality" Sophie Ellis-Bextor has criticised increasing levels of transphobia in the UK and overseas in a new interview.

I love Sophie Ellis-Bextor. She’s a great ally. www.nme.com/news/music/s...

What absolutely bs. The way I felt I had to hide my true self (because society didn't tell me it was ok) still has impact decades on. I don't want that for today's children.

Don't fight me but Taylor Swift peaked with Lover (2019).

Why does nobody else seem concerned that it was one man with a knife and armed police couldn't stop him without killing an innocent civilian?

Why are you still using the 2025 equivalent of Der Sturmer?

Did nobody tell Starmer the cops killed one of the two victims before he went off to do his "thank you to each and every one of the first responders" speech

No, that wasn't the point for Fogarty. First you implied she didn't say that and now you're saying I have missed a point that was not contained in the words I've quoted.

I'm not standing up for anyone in that comment... I'm criticising a journalist for stoking tribalistic division.

It means make support for a Palestinian state global. You sound just lovely!

And what she *also* said was 'when you shout "globalise the intifada" you are asking for violence against Jews. Physical violence against Jews.'

The words are meant to have impact but not to incite murder of innocents. Blaming Palestine protestors is just more divisive.

And in the opposite direction, this. What the fuck to people like Fogarty want, for people not to protest against brutal mass slaughter and keeping people under encampment? Like it’s officially been ruled a genocide Sheilagh love i think people are more than within their rights to protest that.

02.10.2025 15:36 β€” πŸ‘ 14    πŸ” 1    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

Well I definitely heard her blaming people who said 'globalise the intifada' and saying they got what they wanted. Disgusting.

This is grim. We have to reject this Trumpian tribalism.

Shelagh Fogarty should be sacked. Blaming Palestine protestors for the Manchester synagogue stabbings is just disgusting.

If anyone knows folk who went to school with Nigel Farage I’d love to speak to them for an article and I’d protect their anonymity if they wished.

Do help pass this on please in the hope it reaches the right people. Thank you

Absolutely but sadly it's the only action likely able to reverse our regression

Indeed, there's an argument there to be tested in court. However, my comment was in response to someone implying service users and employees are treated the same.

If you look at our exchange, the lack of thinking skills seems more evident on your side. Muting you now and I hope you find peace.

I've not invented an offence. It's pretty well-known among equality activists that it's offensive for someone from the oppressor group to tell the oppressed group what they should be doing. Interesting how quick you are to jump to insults when your approach is questioned.

01.10.2025 12:52 β€” πŸ‘ 1    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

I just think it's pretty offensive for us to be saying what trans people should be doing when they're the ones at risk of harassment and being attacked by our press and politicians.

Trans people shouldn't be the ones putting themselves in that position of danger. Cis people have to step up.
