How dare Robert Evans behave so poorly (and so accurately) about a wonderful movie? (Watch "A New Leaf." It's amazing.)
Robert Evans in The Offer, dismissing one of my favourite films of all time. He was right, though. It did not do well on release.

Fuck you, Independent. This wasn't an "Anti-Migrant" protest where people accepted our country's international duty to accept refugees but thought the numbers of economic migrants were excessive and should maybe be curbed. This was a racist protest hating on refugees and migrants. Cowards.

I've had to make some utterly heart-breaking decisions in the last 24 hours. Desolate stuff. My famously erratic blood sugar levels would have nothing to add, I thought, except routinely threatening me with sudden death or further disability and ... oh. It's like that, is it?
A record of the day's blood sugar readings, almost entirely in the desired range.

The most left-wing person still loitering in Labour - "See? This is why I supported the genocides, the racism, the eugenics and the transphobia. Now I get to be Straddled by Mahmood." (Also, ... "hard line" on immigration? She's a fucking maniac.) #FuckLabour

... Trans people! Sorry, not Jewish people. Trans people. But everything above is true about trans people. The evil hypocrisy of transphobes is unparalleled, and yes, like antisemitism, it is a hangover from the holocaust. 4/4 #FuckLabour #FuckTERFs

Christ alive. Somebody wake nana. Her lithium must have worn off. Not only is she still pretending to be a feminist but now she's claiming transphobia is a *left-leaning* position! From where? Hitler's bunker? Look at all the others, nan, with their armbands and pointy hoods, then back to sleep.
"Amnesty is so blinded by its self-image of goodness, it cannot see that it is choosing to attack mostly left-leaning feminist grassroots organisations." - Suzanne Moore

The phrase "left-leaning" is highlighted in purple and tiny bursts of purple surround the claim, so surprisingly preposterous is it.

"I will use my wealth to attack Amnesty International and thereby reduce its ability to defend innocent people all over the world because it said I am anti-rights," doesnt do a whole hell of a lot to impact what they said, does it, Karen? #FuckTERFs
A screenshot of a social media thread on X (formerly Twitter) featuring two posts by J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling).
​The first post reads: 'Should any of the women's organisations targeted by @AmnestyUK's recent 'anti-rights' blacklist wish to take legal action, applications can be made to the JK Rowling Women's Fund. jkrwf.org'.
​This first post includes a quote post from the account Trans Widows’ Voices. (@transwidows) that says: 'Whilst I understand the detriment to Beira's Place is real, and focussing on @jk_rowling get clicks it's a shame that mainstream press coverage of the Amnesty debacle is not also focussing on us smaller groups listed who do ...'
​The second post, a reply in the thread by J.K. Rowling, reads: 'Gay men's organisations named on the list are welcome to contact me through my website. While the JK Rowling's Fund was set up to support women, JK Rowling herself is more than happy to donate to your legal fighting fund.'"A recent photo of JKKKR wherein some of her Facial Feminisation Surgery appears to have burst.

YouGov has been a corrupt organisation since it's inception but casually using the term LGB+ is a political statement that Polanski should be aware of. Almost every queer person supporting the greens will drop him like hot sick in a paper cup if he genuinely pulls shit like this.

Yes, it is a maddening waste that Rowling attacked the NHS. All of the apparent successes of the far-right TERF Lawfare are breaching human rights law. Labour know this but they're relying on private companies to enforce rotten guidance and take the hit. #FuckLabour #FuckRowling #FuckDavies
