This little transphobic rant by Hadley Freeman in the Sunday Times really shows how pathetic gender critical ideology is. They play victimhood every day from the national media, while childishly insulting the existence of trans and non-binary individuals, calling any criticism of that 'silencing'.

It is this insightful commentary that makes the paid subscription worth it.... also his dad's The Future of War is a banger

To understand the desperation bleeding from these leaks you need to remember that the anti trans movement in the UK have a pre determined timeline, as they view it, for what will happen. The SC judgement was a tactical victory for the anti trans movement in the UK. No point denying it 1/x

I'd argue for Dan Jones' Henry V: reads like a cross between a charming BBC drama and a coming of age story

So Abolition, the US - Indian wars, the US Civil War, you could even argue the Texan Revolution falls under that given the Texan Republic rebelled to remain a slave state from Mexico. Also you're in a bind if you want to talk about Imperialism, colonialism etc

FUCKING YAAAAS

Apparently the Danes did suck it. Fuck

SUCK IT YOU DANISH BASTARDS

SCOTLAND YA BEAUTIES

Labour’s “we have to do it, or racism will get worse” argument is striking. Any other public policy failures British ethnic minorities should be on the hook for? Can we be blamed en bloc for Rachel Reeves’ budget next week too? www.ft.com/content/37b0...

Yeah this is ahistorical. With maybe the exception of the Socii city states, every other part of the Western Roman Empire was forced on pain of annihilation to join, and in the case of Carthage and Corinth was annihilated.

I now have a truly odd mental image of a pro Starmer posting gently holding a card board cutout of the PM

Just so we're clear Liddle laid hands on his pregnant partner. As he is a media darl8ng, he suffered no consequences

Dragon age brought joyfully queer storylines in from the start while Mass Effect had to wait until a Specialist and her 20,000 credit toothbrush

Right up until the point Macron tried to make someone from the recently decimated right wing party his PM....

VP Cheney will be honoured with a 21 gun salute accidentally aimed directly at 21 of his friends

Private Eyes been pretty hot on Elbit and the leverage it's been using in the British media.

The fate of the Nazi Ernst Rohm remains a grim predictor of what would happen: dragged from his partners bed and executed despite his conviction that the Nazi oppression would spare him as one of the 'good ones'

Here's the issue in a very nice visual nutshell: the Conservatives spent nearly 15 years playing the media game on easy mode. Now when receiving, mild, pushback they're not sure how to deal with the scrutiny other parties have had for decades

Silence serves no one. Neither does martyrdom. I want to say this to men who are being abused by female partners: you are heard, you will survive. The shame you feel I have felt. But please, pick up the phone and put in those three digits you've convinced yourself won't help you. You will live.

My cousin doesn't know where he can piss on a night out but sure carry on Baroness

Realised at 15, came out at 17. Now 33

Turns out the "oh yeah you're deffo bi" film has questions

This is not dissimilar to Sulla and Ceasar: the granting of extraordinary powers by a cowed legislative body, to be renewed at the leaders leisure. This killed one Republic, it is unlikely to have a different effect to this one

I mean to be fair to most commentators, the African Grey parrot is really smart.

It's still fucking nonsense from an MP who should know better. IMO you're engaging in the same chin stroking exercise you typically call out.

Fuck me. Is there a race between Refrom and Your Party to get to the Moscow funding first.

Jesus wept, Ministers are appointed by the PM. They have the expectation that they will be treated with dignity and told by the PM when they are no longer a minister

Ngl this does look like the kinda shit HOI4 pulls. What do you mean I'm a player in the Luxembourg - Paraguayan war of 1937?

.... considering the same prescription was applied to Legia Warsaw fans 2 years ago for similar behaviour that Maccabi fans demonstrated in Amsterdam feels more like home teams are getting happier with banning away fans: see Frankfurt fans being banned from Nice and Marsaille also issuing bans.

'Let's stop feeding a generation of young, poor men into a jungle war because we need to prop up a deeply unpopular military post colonial Vichy government"

Notable that there is a bloc of MEPs that Farage used to work with who would and still do verbatim deliver Putin propaganda. Where is Lord Austin et al decrying Farage as a threat to national security?

What five events defined your childhood - 9/11 - section 28 repeal - Iraq War - 08' crash - Obama

Clearly he's never watched the US Libertarian Party conference

Alex Ferguson and Billy Connelly worked in the same shipyard in Glasgow

I think the scariest thing for me has been the abandonment of any kind of cordon sanitare. You have moderate conservative figures parroting the most odious lines atm

"All hail the Omnissiah and the Motive Force. Light the insence and perform the ritual of Percussive Maitainence: Start you bloody thing, I got you serviced last week!"

Courage

Which one runs around Luke in circles spamming force heal until they can fight again?

Man who spent so long railing at all Labour leaders *including Starmer* he had to delete thousands of tweets to be eligible to be an MP....

Thinking about the pivot that Blue Bloods did from it's first season: corrupt cops, the dangers of nostalgia for the 'good old days' to where it ended: Danny violating everyone's civil rights to the point it got comical.

The irony of all this is that Starmer on paper was everything that a large chunk of voters said we needed in politics: professional success before a political career, experience of running a large organisation, not from the middle class but had worked his way up etc.

And yet, like most shit ideas, HMG ain't saying shit

The failure of the first invaision into Zululand has all the hallmarks of arrogance and belief in technological superiority outweighing all other factors. The Zulu Kingdom had a technological disadvantage but had superb tactical control, a knowledge of the local terrain and were highly disciplined

Also repeatedly "i didn't hear no bell' to a military order famed for its brutality.

Anyone familiar with the British Media from the Troubles will know intersectionality of multiple characteristics makes one tabloid catnip

The pageantry of the memorial service itself felt..... tacky. Triumphant. And very, very evangelical coded.
