If anything the Conservative’s obsession with capitalism is dangerously irresponsible!

It should be the case that all elected officials refuse all but the most trivial gifts, favours or hospitality, like nurses are required.

A “UK” map that excludes Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 , Northern Ireland , and Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 isn’t in fact a UK map. No doubt the this was described as being a UK map by someone that thinks Manchester is the “north”!

It’s a preemptive defence. It basically a defence for being, racist, misogynistic, homophobic, transphobic, xenophobic, anti-scientific, & anti intellectual, before they’re “accidentally-deliberately” racist, misogynistic, homophobic, transphobic, xenophobic, anti-scientific, & anti intellectual

It is always remarkable to me that there are no geneticists who agree with the views of people like Cofnas and Carl et al, and that Cofnas and Carl et al have no training in genetics. And yet the biology of race is a subject which only requires exertise in genetics. PUZZLING, eh?

What is always most troubling about these cases (see also: Noah Carl) is not that they are sacked, it is that they were recruited in the first place. If you were a student shelling out £9k a year, you would expect to be taught by people who at least understood the subjects they pontificate about.

Let’s be clear he is a racist, a eugenicist, and almost certainly a white supremacist. It’s good that he’s being investigated. But given Cambridge fired him for his “questionable” views I’m perplexed why any other reputable institution hired him!

The #patriarchy is killing men. The sooner that men not just recognise, but also recognise #feminism isn’t the threat they’ve been conditioned to think it is. From the book The Will to Change by bell hooks. #booksky.

So he could live with the racism, misogyny, homophobia, transphobia, and ableism up until now. But staving people to death which is what the cuts almost certainly would have done, was a step to far. OK, its good he's stepped away from such a hate filled org, but I still question his moral compass.

Stand with a sign saying “I support Palestinian action” and you’ll be arrested. Throw up a Nazi salute & all is good. This shows that what is legal & what is moral are in no way linked.

It was probably a mistake accepting the X-Men's Storm's asylum application.Though I'm sure if you ask the goddess nicely, she'll make it rain! For avoidance of doubt & for the hard of thinking. The issue is anthropogenic climate change, longer periods of higher temperatures & lower precipitation.

They’ve switched the comments off. They know some pedantry, but knowledgeable, person would comment that:- You can get the same effect from generic ibuprofen & paracetamol for a fraction of the cost! And that would mess up their attempts at gouging the public with vastly overpriced branded drugs.

The reform the #NHS needs is tax reform to prevent the legal tax avoidance millionaires & billionaires benefit from Oh & reverse the redistribution of wealth from the poorest to the wealthiest. So much illness is caused by socioeconomic factors & the NHS can’t prescribe better housing or wages etc

Firstly no he’s not! Secondly even if he was it’d be an improvement on what we’ve got. And It’d damn sure be an improvement on the 1920s & early 1930s German and Italy. Which is what the right / far right is offering us just now.

I think the term fascist is overused. But since reading The Anatomy of Fascism by Robert O. Paxton I’m comfortable with describing said aspects of the far right as fascists. The parallels to late 1920s Italy & early 1930 Germany are clear. See:- www.thenational.scot/news/2624772...

I’m reminded of the German saying:- "If there's a Nazi at the table and ten other people sitting there talking to him, you got a table with eleven Nazis." In this case if you accept a platform from a far-right Christian nationalist conference then you’re probably a far-right Christian nationalist.

The sad thing is it will be ignored, or his supporters will approve. After all if Trump saying:- “I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn’t lose voters,”, or mocking a reporter with a disability didn’t end his career, this will do nothing.

Stephen Yaxley-Lennon tapping up his marks is all to common. In fact it’s seems a rather standard MO for the far right. Where the poorest are funding the lavish lifestyle of the “elite” far right leaders. I highly recommend the book Year of the Rat by Harry Shukman.
