My Easter reading: "..the Lord said I was hungry and you told me to make a meal for 30p, I was thirsty and you filled my water with shit, I was a stranger and you sent me to Rwanda, I was sick and you said I should get private health insurance..."
On this Good Friday, as we remember the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, let us reflect on the values of compassion, charity and selflessness he embodied. These values are at the heart of British values, inspiring us to build a society based on respect, tolerance and dignity for all.

On the bridge of the container ship Dali, 4 minutes from disaster, there's one critical moment we haven't heard about yet. The very moment the ship lost power the 1st time. What did the pilot do, right then? His first thought, apparently, was safety — the bridge looming ahead. —> ⤵️ NTSB photo of the bridge of the Dali...

Just in case you were confused about why the price of everything keeps going up and mistakenly concluded it was inflation
Corporate profits rose to a new all time high in Q4 of 2023.

You have to love what the Tories have done to this country Because they're trying to define not loving it as extremism
Nationalise them. Nationalise them now.

They never stopped the Southern Strategy, they just switch from euphemism to euphemism, but they always mean the same thing, and their voters hear it clearly and approvingly.
“DEI” is basically just a stand-in for the N word now

This is a hideous sentiment. Firstly, how, Ben? How do we stop multiculturalism, without, say, deportation of everyone not white? And secondly, using a picture of people protesting against a genocide as evidence of the damage he thinks multiculturalism causes is... questionable
This is nasty stuff, now mainstream, all over Telegraph. I live in the greatest multicultural city in the world. London. (And I have lived in New York, London does it better.)

The fundamental cognitive fail point we're witnessing here boils down to "The Nazis can't have done this because I want to do this and I am not a bad person like the Nazis"

So she's started denying Nazi atrocities, is it time to call @jk_rowling a fucking Nazi yet, or is she just thick as porridge? Those seem to be the only two available options. As well as my own personal opinion, of course:

#London drivers, you can't fucking drive. Take the bus, you'll live longer than fucking around with no regard for your safety or that of others. Nowhere else in the country must I be so alert to people doing crazy Destruction Derby bullshit.

One day you'll pull a stupid maneuver in the hope that someone else will take emergency evasive action for you, and they won't. Take the goddamn bus.

JK Rowling posting like "the Nazis weren't as bad as you thought" while apparently straight up lying about them in an exonerative way is peak TERF energy. Maybe she should take a few days off, go out and talk to some real people

If the Tory party is serious about tackling racism, it should dissolve itself

Looking forward to seeing these Jewish people being branded anti-Semitic as the pro Israel side do mental backflips to assert that's the only reason anyone would possibly criticize that country
“We stand here as men who refute their Jewishness and the Holocaust being hijacked by an occupation which has led to conflict for so many innocent people.” Kudos to Jonathan Glazer for calling out the Israeli occupation at the #Oscars 👏🏽

Whenever I hear somewhere, in the UK especially, described as a no-go zone for any specific group, I can be certain of one thing: it is actually fine for that group to go there.

Don’t be fooled. If there’s stalking after a separation: Never go for a last chance holiday, drink etc They’re not safe just because there’s a new girlfriend Grand gestures come with a price. #HomicideTimeline #8Stages

If you can remember to call this place X, which all the worst people seem to, you can respect people's gender identity and (especially) chosen name. Not doing so is simply being an asshole for the sake of it.
