Transphobia? Racism? Nah, keep posting.

Say that AI data centers should be destroyed and not even specifying which ones? That’s a 24 hour timeout.

I say this as someone who isn't very social at all, I'm still mindblown by "hypersocial" being used as an insult.

The media were called out directly over their coverage of the genocide in Gaza during SNP conference.

National Equalities Convener Sadie Matthews told them this as she spoke to members and journalists.

You are happily ignoring the rise of the far right - which includes antisemitism as well as racism, sexism, homophobia etc - so the things you say ring very hollow insincere.

Men like Piers Morgan have found women in trans women who it is socially acceptable to abuse.

Every time they do this stuff they are telling you how they'd treat cis women if they could get away with it.

Watching Piers Morgan drag out the “what is a woman” question with Zack Polanski and using it to try and diminish Polanski and then reminded that Morgan’s allyship to women stretches all the way to calling Mohammed Al Fayed “a bit of a rascal”

www.theguardian.com/world/2024/n...

Mohamed Al Fayed may have raped and abused at least 111 women and girls, say police

Scale of criminality would make Fayed, who died last year at the age of 94, one of Britain’s most notorious sex offenders

Graham is a trans obsessed danger weirdo. That the labour govt wants to change the law to protect him is one aspect of why they all need getting rid of.

IndiaWilloughby @indiawilloughby.bsky.social · 13h

This is Graham Linehan, who UKLabour, WesStreeting and every columnist in the country rushed to defend when he was arrested by police, after inciting online violence and smashed a trans girl’s phone. They are even changing the law specifically to protect him. “Just a joke” @mrjamesob.bsky.social

It is truly disgusting & irresponsible in the current climate for a serving Labour MP to call over 600,000 peaceful protesters, demanding a lasting peace in the Middle East, 'anti-Semitic'

Again, using the tired trope linking all Jewish people with the genocidal Israeli regime!

Every day is a good day to point out that 92% of Reform's donations were found to come from figures and groups linked to the fossil fuel industry. @desmog.com

Nigel Farage’s Reform Party Has Accepted £2.3 Million from Fossil Fuel Interests, Climate Deniers, and Polluters Since 2019 Election

Reform UK has received more than £2.3 million from oil and gas interests, highly polluting industries, and climate science deniers since December 2019, amounting to 92 percent of the party’s donations...

This narrative doesn't make sense. You can't blame Brexit for harming the economy ... (UK businesses, for example, lose £37bn a year due to a drop in EU trade) ... yet at the same time categorically rule out returning even to the Single Market. So Starmer needs to do a masssive U-turn or step down.

Starmer ‘planning to blame Farage and Brexit’ for budget tax hikes

Sir Keir Starmer has been ramping up his attacks on Nigel Farage in recent weeks as Labour falls behind in the polls
