You’ll be lucky. I travelled first class the other day just to avoid the standing crush, and there wasn’t so much as a sandwich. Free tea, coffee and all the Biscoff you can eat. “First Class” my arse. This used to be what Second Class was. F*ck you, @crosscountryuk.bsky.social.

True. “Being kind”, at this point means giving them a soft landing when the transgender thing inevitably goes tits (or no tits) up.

I’ve worked hard for my small 2-bed flat over the last 55 years and I’m bloody well keeping it, thank you very much.

So you think all pensioners should be forced to live in one-bedroom flats so their kids can enjoy unearned wealth? Cheers.

Oh, it allows for discussion alright. It’s just that the people who’ve mindlessly swallowed the trans kool-aid are afraid to discuss it in case they realise it’s bollocks and the life they’ve built around it comes crashing down.

Lucas has lost all the credibility she once had since she jumped (albeit apparently reluctantly) on the trans-women-are-women bandwagon. She’s lost the support of the old-school members who believe in science without gaining the respect of the entryist bluehairs.

Pete Hegseth gave a speech in front of a backdrop that almost perfectly matches Nazi imagery. Meanwhile, Trump calls opponents “vermin” who he will “root out,” and says the blood of our country is being poisoned. We are far past left vs right. Our choice is democracy or fascism.

Long worthwhile thread. I’m reminded of a point that (I think?) Foucault makes in Surveiller et Punir that, historically, the aristocracy was ostentatiously visible & the common person visible, but modernity has inverted this. Seems even more clearly true now than when he wrote it.

Everytime they use the word, 'smart', replace it with 'surveillance.' Once you understand that you'll know why the word 'totalitarianism' has disappeared from the establishment media lexicon.

"What Ellison's saying here is that most of us are fundamentally *bad*" It's good to see Ellison heeding the ancient Greek self-help advice γνῶθι σεαυτόν. But he hasn't yet taken on board that this doesn't mean "know *nothing but* yourself".

A second Brexit referendum is a truly stupid idea. Straight to rejoin. No fucking about. There’s no logical argument, economic or otherwise, for not rejoining. The British electorate has proven that they don’t have a clue and are easily duped by disinformation campaigns and foreign interference.

Absolutely. Another referendum is another opportunity for bigotry, lies and foreign interference. The evidence of Brexit’s failure is overwhelming. The damage done to the UK immeasurable. Rejoin at the earliest opportunity.

Fathers, we teach our sons how to respect women by our behavior, we are the example. Look in the mirror, replay conversations, and make sure to act as a proper role model. It's never too early to start. The women in our life, in our society deserve this, it's really the least we can do.

You can support net zero, LGBTQ+ rights and a Palestinian state. But if you attend a synagogue or partake in almost any aspect of communal Jewish life, the Green Party now considers you a racist.

BG was absolutely not trans. It is not possible to be legally trans in the UK under the age of 18. Also, nobody is trans.
