David Duchovny played a transgender woman, Denise, on Twin Peaks in 1990 and when greeting Cooper, the show's protagonist, she says, "I prefer Denise, if you don't mind" and Cooper responds with "OK" and her identity is settled within a couple seconds and was a non-issue, 36 years ago.

So, about those Eid prayers in London... "What's the highest thing in Trafalgar Square?" "Nelson's column, innit?" "And the highest thing on the column?" "Nelson." "And on Nelson?" "His hat." "And the highest thing on his hat?" "That bit that sticks up." 1/8

This clip is all over the other place and has made its way onto GB News and Talk TV so I’ll do a bit of an explainer here too! The clip doing the rounds is of a fantastic police officer telling a group of Muslim men that a Christian preacher nearby is entitled to freedom of expression. 🧵 1/19
Screen shot from Paul Embery’s X account:

Respect to this police officer. Confronted by radicals demanding the arrest of a Christian preacher on the grounds that Whitechapel "is a Muslim area" she was calm and professional and
gave them short shrift. Let's see more of this from the police.

UK inflation is caused by profiteering Since the pandemic electricity generation companies hiked profit margins by 198%. Electricity/Gas supply margins up 363%. Shipping up by 650 times. Health and social work up by 118%. People impoverished. Can't rebuild economy without ending profiteering.

If the government wants economic growth it must bring essential industries into public ownership
Successive governments clobber households and small businesses by hiking interest rates to manage inflation, but don’t inconvenience corporations.

Via The Independent: Donald Trump’s false claim that London ‘wants to go to Sharia law’ has been described as ‘appalling and bigoted’ by Mayor Sadiq Khan. The Muslim Council of Britain responded: “We pray for Mr Trump's health and wellbeing as his hallucinations seem to be getting worse by the day”

Every day this Summer has been a record of how Nigel Farage already runs the country. An endless cycle of hate & racism. One day boat arrivals, the next releasing ethnicity data for crimes, so we can know whether to riot if they’re brown or shrug if they’re white. Back to the 70s🤦‍♀️ #r4today

One of the worst features of the tabloid press is the constant claim to be reporting other people's "anger", "rage" and "fury", when in reality they're trying to whip up those emotions. A more accurate headline would read "please be furious about this". And they could use the same one every day.

"Privatisation of essential utilities doesn’t just mean directly more expensive bills and transport for households. It also has a domino effect on the rest of the economy through higher industry costs for utilities like water and energy." www.thecanary.co/uk/analysis/...

The hidden cost of privatisation can be seen everywhere
The domino effect of privatisation can particularly be seen in agriculture, where 40% of costs come from energy use

'Balancing the books' on the backs of poor and disabled people was wrong when the Tories did it, and it would be wrong now. It’s a political choice - one that could push 700,000 households into poverty. Our government should instead tax the ballooning wealth of the super-rich.

Patriotism isn't being proud of your country no matter what. If the government are clearly shitting the bed it's patriotic to want them to do better. You don't have to love Britain unconditionally, it's a country not a son.

In vast areas of the US, the sentiments expressed in this wonderful letter from a British man about why it's a privilege to pay tax to enable the National Health Service to run would see him probably certified as insane and labelled a "socialist".

Trump never had a peace plan for Ukraine. He had a plan for Ukraine's surrender, with a colonial resource grab. As Zelenskyy rightly refused it, or to cooperate in Trump's TV spectacular, the US has now cut Ukraine off. That's what blackmail looks like. That's what the world is up against.
