Tommy Robinson's Christmas Carol service featured two arrests - one for assault and another of a man suspected of homophobic abuse.

And loads of union flags and massive crosses... because that's traditional at the events where we celebrate Christ's BIRTH, isn't it. Crosses and flags.

My heart goes out to the Brown University community who are sheltering in place, incl. my dear friend Mia Tretta, who balances being a Brown student & gun violence prevention advocate after being shot at her CA high school at age 15

I understand that a lot of folks have been misled by fear-mongering and powerful regressive voices but it’s still astonishing to me that so many have fallen for the idea that oppressively policing other people’s gender identity and expression could in any way be part of an enlightened future.

Word of the day, should you be feeling a little huffish, is ‘apanthropy’ (18th century): a love of solitude and the desire to be away from other people.

Deeply disappointed to hear that the BBC has pushed out one of the most brilliant presenters in all of science communication for speaking with integrity and honor in support of human rights and dignity.
Very sad that I felt I had no choice but to resign from The Infinite Monkey Cage - a victory for the transphobes and other bigots - I did it because so much of the media has chosen to believe the kind and empathetic people are a fiction - they are real and so often unrepresented.

For the record, Robin Ince is a superb comedian, an absolute mensch, a remarkable thinker and the kindest human you’ll ever meet. And the BBC is a genuinely great and globally unique institution that needs to stop being afraid. I think that’s where most of its faults and issues stem from.

Dragging terminally ill people from their death beds to appear in court to plead their case is objectively cruel.

Should peers cause the #AssistedDyingBill to fail, it would be unimaginably devastating for terminally ill people and their families.

Not easy to get to sleep tonight - have burnt the bridge of whatever career I had left and really don’t feel that my opinions are so extreme that that should have been necessary

It has become received wisdom in Brussels and Washington that there is a new “euro-sclerosis”: that the EU economy is lagging the US

This view is wrong

Re-posting with alt text because the post accompanying this is obviously wrong, it's clearly a picture of a woman on a Crosscountry train having found a place to sit on the floor and read, her coffee cup beside her, folks queuing for the loo behind her

Both my Thameslink and Gatwick Express trains have been on time today and the GatEx is using GatEx liveried coaching stock.

This is mind-bendingly out of character so I assume that GoVia Thameslink Railway have been taken hostage and this is them signalling distress. Could someone check on them pls

We won our lawsuit and stopped the Trump administration from blocking an array of new wind energy projects.

This is a big victory in our fight to keep tackling the climate crisis and protect one of our best sources of clean, reliable, and affordable energy.

Just a reminder that this mfer was not born here and yet is singling out American citizens who are black and brown as a problem becuase they get to vote. White supremacy is THE reason we're where we are in this country and until we deal with it we'll never actually progress.
WATCH: Elon Musk is upset that Somalian Americans in Minnesota get to vote.

After I had my daughter, one of the qualities I looked for in infant formula was existence, which was an aspect my breast milk lacked
RFK Jr: "All of the ingenuity of corporate America has not produced an infant formula that is superior in nutrition and all the qualities that we want to the infant formula that God made, which is the infant formula in a mother's breast."

Trying to figure if any of several options for changing trains at Gatwick is going to work and the 4 trains are delayed by:
Trespass at Three Bridges;
Person being taken ill on train;
Fault with the signalling;
Fault with the train.

Can’t really believe any of it.
Trains are simply SNAFU.
