Why are journalists, the police and the court system doing this again? This girl has been repeatedly raped, violently assaulted and abused, and has posted evidence of her wounds. Yet the authorities and press are responding like this? It’s despicable.
#JusticeForEllieWilliams
Actual texts sent to Ellie last week, shared by just one of many witnesses who will corroborate her story of grooming & abuse. Never approached by Cumbria police in their ‘robust’ investigation which their Chief Constable says found no evidence of grooming gangs in Barrow....

Great job for drawing attention to this, hopefully David Worsfold and his wife Louise, owners of

@Manish_05Singh
You’re missing the point. It’s not about people being killed in the Uk, it’s about black people being 10 TIMES more likely than whites to be stopped and searched, despite the percentage of times they find something being the same (25%).

Shamina Begum is a British citizen and should be handled here. I’m not sure these two cases are comparable though. Shamina moved halfway around the world to join the most violent Islamic terrorist movement ever seen. I’m not aware that the other girl above did that, did she?
UK Health Secretary Matt Hancock said today the country was doing "more testing per head of population than almost any other major nation". We are 16th, behind 'minor nations' like Israel, USA, Russia, Denmark and Australia.

I just don’t understand your tactics. Most sensible people support your cause, but how is ruining people’s night out helping anything? Why aren’t you targeting MPs, Councillors, CEOs, Banks, Hedge Funds, Oil & Gas companies, anyone who can make decisions to actually change?

Played it to my 9 year old son this evening. His response was:
1) I'm not singing that trash
2) Why are we copying Kim Jong Un
I am impressed with both his knowledge of global leaders and his political assessment!

Nothing to see here, just a photo of the stage at CPAC where Trump will be speaking to his cult followers on Sunday, which is shaped like an Odal Rune with wings as used by the Nazi SS Infantry in WW2.

Let’s be honest, if you’ve got a problem with a black dancer and a black singer standing up for the rights of black people, you’re a bit of a racist.

Just like everyone in the USA didn’t vote for Trump, everyone in the UK is not hateful about Meghan :) I think it’s brilliant that she got away from the toxic press here, and she’s N inspirational leader in many ways. Many others do too.
Quite incredible really. The joy of Twitter though is that it can be shared and hopefully the owners shamed into change. Be better

@IFLTV
It reflects his entire career really, he found legal ways to take advantage of situations, fight people when they were less dangerous to his record. All of that is justified, and fair play to him. It does mean it’s hard to declare him the best ever though, despite his record.
@NellyEvans79
She left a gap that Spain exploited, then didn’t run back to try and help defend the counter attack. She could have passed before she lost the ball, but chose to try and take on 3 players instead. She didn’t lose England the game, but she was responsible for Spain’s goal.

The European slave trade was instigated by the Catholic Church several hundred years before the English got involved. Why does no one demand the return of church properties and wealth built on the back of slavery?

As this thread helps to explain, Sex and Gender are complex. Shutting down concerns by women about biological differences in sport, or women’s safety, / their perception of safety in prisons or refuges, by labelling them transphobic, is not okay.
So. Hi new people! Apparently, we're gonna talk about sex. Like physical sex! Because... there's some confusion.
First, sex defined: We're talking physical sex here, not gender. Body parts, hormones, and genetics (and more).
BLUF: BIOLOGICAL sex is a spectrum

It’s not the whole of the UK, just the bigoted part (about 1/3 of the people, the same proportion of the USA that voted for Trump). Doesn’t make it any less awful though.
Two families who can’t even think of a famous woman who ‘might’ be a Dame, at least it helps to explain why the country is in such a mess!

See below, also missed the hand on the floor turnover at the end, and admitted to getting the penalty to SA call wrong but didn’t overturn the decision. Awful performance, SA win the WC after 3 knockout games where all the big decisions went incorrectly in their favour.

Just like Wimbledon and the FA Cup final, it’s all corporate hospitality now. Full of people who don’t really care that much, getting drunk and selling favours. The rugby is still accessible but probably not for long.
Any second now an animated paperclip is going to pop up with a message - ‘It looks like you are trying to launch a rocket, would you like some help with that?’

In an age of automation, when we desperately need creative challengers in the workplace, we are still creating factory workers in schools. Education is 50 years behind the times.

Literally enabling you to pay your debts and wages, without which your club would go bust before the end of the season. The Wycombe fan base has also been hugely supportive of the awful situation your club finds itself in. Spreading hate towards Wycombe fans is so wrong.

The thing is, Jonny has evidence of being abused, much of it videod by Amber herself (such as denying him his meds; admitting she hit him; her faeces in the bed; witnesses etc.). Amber has no similar evidence. No witnesses, no photos, no ER or police reports.
Today I have had the results from a CT scan earlier this week, telling me there is no sign of Cancer in my body anymore. I’m pretty overwhelmed and emotional right now, but I want to let anyone who works in the

So in a nutshell she wants to:
1) Make schools as strict as prisons
2) Ban collaboration and critical thinking
3) Demonise technology
4) Create a generation of children that hate learning, are unprepared for the modern world and despise authority figures.
I like the last one the most, I’d expand and say I’d like to see

It is a sad truth that a large proportion of men don't think he did anything wrong, the replies tpo your tweet underline that. Those that do are often scared to call it out, for fear of repurcussions from their peers and leaders. There is much change that is still needed.

I bet they love the one where the rebel girls go on a protest against misogyny, get beaten up by the police and then put in jail because their dad helped change the law to make protesting illegal.

BODMAS is a simple rule, meaning you complete the bracket first, giving 4, then division, giving 4, then multiplication, giving 16. You only get 1 as an answer if you do the multiplication before the division, which is incorrect.

The point is, what the USA calls socialism isn’t socialism at all. The Nordic model is a compassionate form of capitalism that works and makes sure people are looked after, as oppose to the greed based American version.
