@RadicalCartoons It was definitely a game of two halves.
The first bit with the poor terrified protesters was very telling.
The second bit outside the police station was brilliant. -

@RadicalCartoons @HebrideanHecate @Ladyfat I used to read the Eye and always liked that column.
The Eye is just an establishment mouthpiece now. Sad. -

@HebrideanHecate @TriptychTwinsRidesAgain Most people playing the victim card are just weaponising normal human empathy. They speak of *kindness* when they mean we are *kind* to them only (read - compliant to their demands). We can call them out.
But there are a lot of people whose brains really have been broken by this nonsense. We've seen it with the children whose mums have told them that they risk being killed for being *trans*, with the college kids who have faked their own racist attacks, the people still walking around in masks talking about their *long covid* caused by selfish anti-vaxxers, the activists crying about the shortage of polar bears and throwing soup on paintings.
These people think their ideas are their identity and any criticism is a personal attack. They have no resilience and no self-respect because they've been taught/encouraged to expect everyone to be *inclusive* (read - bend reality to their needs and wants).
It feels harsh, but we can't keep living accommodating these people. We have to move on without them. -

@TriptychTwinsRidesAgain Remember - teachers are not teaching queer theory to children; they're practising queer theory on children.
Big difference. -

@RadicalCartoons @HebrideanHecate @TriptychTwinsRidesAgain I used to follow her on Twatter. She tells it like it is. -

@Sherri_Ingrey @RadicalCartoons @HebrideanHecate @Ladyfat Betrayal makes us angry. That's why we channel our anger. -

@Sherri_Ingrey These people have less than zero respect for us. They want us to work for them, give them our money, shut up, and believe what they tell us.
Keep taking the Soma and read the words of the Ministry of Truth.
They can fuck right off.
The most powerful thing we can do is deny them our money and our attention. -

@RadicalCartoons @HebrideanHecate @Ladyfat It is an interesting idea.
I often wonder why so many people join political parties, but I quickly remember the words of WS Gilbert:
I grew so rich that I was sent,
By a pocket borough into parliament,
I always voted at my party's call,
And never thought of thinking for myself at all,
I thought so little, they rewarded me,
By making me the ruler of the Queen's Navy.
and
When in that house MPs divide,
If they've a brain a cerebellum too,
They've got to leave that brain outside,
And vote just as their leaders tell 'em to.
It's a career path which appeals to people who don't want to think too hard, but like to appear virtuous.
We need to make it a vocation. -

@HebrideanHecate @Ladyfat I had this conversation with a woman last night. She was defending our newly-elected local MP; *decent* was the word she used.
I did try to inject a little healthy scepticism. He might be trying hard now to fight for our town, but if he's in a political party he may have to choose between party advancement and what is right. And most of them take the coin. At the moment he at least answers my emails and seems to care about personal freedom, but he's a Lib Dem, so I know he has to at least pretend that some women have penises in order to be allowed at the table, because that's what party politics does to the brain.
I also had to remind her that this is not about one party over another. I'm non-partisan - I hate them all equally (except the Party of Women, of course). -

Well done Nottingham. What with fatal stabbings and violent protests, you're clearly vying for the top spot in the category of dangerous cities in the UK.
Mind you, with London in the state it's in, you'll have to work a lot harder. -

*When women won't undress in front of me, I feel frightened - I'm the victim here* claims the man. No wonder he wanted the case heard in private.
Don't you just love it when these people do our work for us. -

"We're here, we're queer, we will not live in fear,"
scream the poor *frightened* children whose drumming and shrieking drowns out women from speaking.
Don't you just love the people who make our case for us. -

@HebrideanHecate @Ladyfat They're all grifters. The Uniparty is full of them. It's the main qualification to be in politics now. -

@Gnomeshatecheese If you want to know who rules over you, think about what you are not allowed to criticise. -

@Sherri_Ingrey @BILLSan345 I'll happily settle for just identifying actual crimes and the police and judiciary acting accordingly. -

@GluedToTheScreen The difference between a conspiracy theory and the truth is about three weeks now. -

@sj_zero I think it's more likely that nobody wants to be the one to take them down in case they get accused of *not caring about safety* or *just wanting grannies to die.*
I took them down in one place I worked and nobody noticed.
