Also worth noting, the Tribunal found that Sandie Peggie had harassed Dr Beth Upton in a "hate incident".

Decision in the Sandie Peggie case. She was not directly or indirectly discriminated against, her claim of victimisation fails entirely, her claim of harassment fails largely and her claim against Beth Upton fails entirely. www.judiciary.uk/judgments/sa...

The ruling panel said the trans doctor’s account of the confrontation was “more reliable and cohesive” than nurse Ms Peggie’s.

"FURY as asylum seekers are shown being happy"

Nearly every panel I spoke on this year ended with the same question: "What gives you hope?" My friends, that question expired years ago. (If you need receipts, my book Saving Us is literally a 300-page answer.) The real question is: How are you PRACTICING hope? Because Greta is right ..

Oh

Let’s play Goebbels or Mahmood! “If someone comes over with a bag full of gold rings” Goebbels or Mahmood?

Labour’s utterly sickening lurch to the far right continues apace.

It’s fun to watch the Royals turn on each other, but are we really supposed to believe “Prince” is an honorable or meaningful title to have in 2025? This surely just shows how absurd the whole thing is.

Unsurprisingly.

People with friends in Haddington: have a feckin word with them pronto!

Trans people aren’t the only ones.

harry potter tattoos have a significantly higher regret rate than any gender affirming surgeries

I’ve got to believe the 5% didn’t understand the question!

Marie McGowan, 89, has died 3 years after a brutal assault during which she was put headfirst into a rubbish bin. Her attacker, Alex Bailey, believed she was "a man dressed as a woman." This is the world the transphobes are creating "to protect women." RIP Marie. share.google/PFaI5YTh9tBw...

Maybe they mean tolerance of Reform itself

Re: Labour… am I in an alternate universe, or does anyone else not recognise this “tolerance” Labour are supposed to be trying to project?

If this really is the government's view, it suggests their grasp of the notion of a "fundamental freedom" is tenuous at best. The last thing we need is even further growth of the state's already very broad powers to restrict freedom of speech and assembly.

You can use AI for anything, except for any thing for which you need it to be right.

BREAKING: Heroic police officers save public from this terrifying terrorist who was holding a sign the government doesn’t like x

VICTORY: citing "lack of evidence", prosecutors have dropped the trial against the Drax 15. They never had a case, but they kept defendants waiting for a year to somehow justify an astonishing £3 million police operation. This is yet another example of the repression of protest rights in Britain

The UN Secretary-General released a new report last week that raises alarm to rapidly increasing global military spending and move to a human-centred notion of security. www.un.org/en/peace-and...

BBC news showing the Trump protest in London, Sylvester McCoy has just appeared on a vox pop.

Free speech “alive and well” in the UK.

Friend of Epstein, the rapist Donald Trump, visits family with connections to Epstein.

Very much this.

STOP APPEASING FASCISTS. Just sums up everything wrong with this government's approach at the moment, encouraging division rather than finding ways to bring the vast majority together.

Two Tier Keir. You oppose genocide in Gaza? - You’re a terrorist. Tens of thousands attend a far right rally at which Musk calls for civil way? - “Free speech is alive in the UK”.

This.

BREAKING: They're scrubbing @banksy The court is erasing Banksy's mural just like it's erasing our right to protest.

Yet another example of Labour finding the worst take possible and going with that.

Well that’s nice that the government is doubling down on the vile stuff. Oh frabjous day callooh callay.

It’s official - “Nigel Farage is right, don’t vote for him” is a demonstrably awful strategy for Labour. Boosts salience of immigration, costs votes on the left, doesn’t persuade any voters on right (why would they accept a crap knock-off when they can have the original?)

Keir Starmer: “I love flags, me. I’m shagging one right now”.

This is the way to report on the far right. UK newspapers take note

I think a lot of people just assumed the old taboo against fascism was just something that naturally happened rather than needing to be actively maintained.

Generative AI will produce a dystopian future with art stripped of emotion and humanity. Say no.

The thing is maps like this get scores of responses saying “it’s called summer”. People are trying to convince themselves this is normal. How do we tackle that? - Real question!

Historic heatwave unfolding in France. Bordeaux just observed its hottest day on record with a provisional 41.6°C (107°F) — data since 1920. Red level extreme heat warnings are in force for the south of the country. Sadly, this heatwave is far from over...

Victims minister Alex Davies-Jones thanked police for their "bravery and their courage" for arresting 532 people sitting on Parliament Square with a cardboard sign. So brave, so courageous www.itv.com/news/2025-08...

🧵 Succinctly put.

People to want to “stop migrants” need to pay attention to the reality.

No one should have to risk their life to get basic humanitarian assistance. No child should suffer from hunger. The IFRC reiterates its call for safe and unhindered access across Gaza. Aid must be guaranteed and delivered at scale to meet the overwhelming needs.

In Vietnam, there are myriad little lakes formed from bomb craters—in which lotus flowers grow. That image sticks with me. The Zen master and peace activist Thich Nhat Hanh taught, no mud, no lotus. Without the mud, the flower cannot grow. What will we grow from the mud we are collectively in?

This is where I post from

"Scottish PSC was told the reason for its account being frozen last month was that it had a button on its website to donate to Palestine Action before the group was banned on 5 July. But the button was removed when Palestine Action was proscribed and yet the account had not been restored"
