A lot of people outside the UK positing the name of Soldier F. They know his name because it is in Hansard. If you are in the UK, you best not utter it.

Who the state protects tells you everything about that state & they have protected him from the minute he started shooting innocent people

This is utterly damning, yet I somehow think Starmer, Streeting, and Phillipson really don't care.

And let's not forget trans people's families, friends, and trans allies. They'll feel the same way, too.

Prince Andrew stepped back from public life after defending his ties to Jeffrey Epstein.

Now he says he’ll stop calling himself the Duke of York - but it shouldn’t be up to him.

Tell your MP to strip him of his title. It only takes two minutes. ⬇️

More than five years after Prince Andrew defended his friendship with the convicted paedophile Jeffery Epstein on national TV, there are still questions over whether he took part in the abuse of young women. The prince has denied allegations in Virginia...

πŸ”₯ We told you.

The PM and other politicians were zealously keen to override local police & endanger public safety in the UK…

…AND spend over Β£6m to prioritise dangerous Israeli hooligans over British citizens.

AND invoke antisemitism to scare the public.

The irresponsibility is breathtaking.

This isn't just a nazi symbol, it's the symbol of the Holocaust. It was often the last thing hundreds of thousands of people saw before they were murdered by the SS. This isn't some obscure esoteric symbol, it was the insignia of the SS! It's unforgivable to get this as a tattoo.

This is Heinrich Himmler, the head of the SS and architect of the Holocaust. That symbol on his cap is the totenkopf. This isn't just a nazi symbol, it was the symbol of SS guards who mass murdered millions.

Just to be clear, no one who gets this as a tattoo should ever be elected.
β€œHistoric black and white photo showing Heinrich Himmler in a Nazi SS uniform, identified by a red arrow, standing among other uniformed officers. He wears a peaked cap with an eagle insignia and appears to be speaking to a man in work clothes in the foreground.” β€œBlack and white portrait of a Heinrich Himmler wearing a Nazi SS uniform, including a peaked cap with a skull insignia and a skull emblem. The man has round glasses, a serious expression, and is facing slightly to the side.”

If you weren't already aware, RΓ³isΓ­n Murphy - she of Moloko fame - has revealed her true colours by jumping aboard the Transphobe Train.

While she may not have the huge reach or bottomless pockets of JKR, I will not support any of her work. As a trans ally, it's the least I can do.

Mike Graham tried to troll me once by pointing out to his numbskull acolytes that I use a pen name.

It was all going so well... until I pointed out that his real name is Archibald.

Sky News now offering clarification.

They’d previously stated that the Maccabi ban was just about safety of Maccabi fans.

Now they admit it was also about Maccabi violence.

Ladies & gentlemen, our corrupt journo-political complex just got caught out.
