“How’s the quality?”
“100% pure, unchewed.”
“Santa won’t notice them missing?”

The Employment Rights Bill has passed and will become law. As the voice of the working classes, I voted against this bill because I know the last thing people want is sick pay, paternity leave or protection from dismissal, harassment and exploitative zero hour contracts.

While #UNRWAworks to support displaced families, the Israeli Authorities have been blocking UNRWA from directly bringing aid into #Gaza for months.

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.

deep down i think brits don't believe bilingualism (or multilingualism) is possible despite this not even being a monolingual country
This is a really appalling editorial error on BBC Question Time
"Apparently one in three children don't speak English as a first language, why does this matter?"
Chair says "have English as a second language"
Caption changes the meaning entirely
"Don't speak fluent English"

British culture has normalised genderfluidity for literal centuries. We're traditionally obsessed with disrupted sex roles, with drag, with bi-romanticism, with gay transvestite celebrities. So HOW THE HELL DID *WE* END UP AS TERF ISLAND? It's like the Swiss becoming The People Who Resent Chocolate.
