@gbsaddlers1968 @ProudlyPastoral It is NOT a normal part of a school day if it is during school holidays or at weekends.

@ProudlyPastoral It’s normal get over it , lots of school do it , it’s part of school day for students and staff

Surely this can't be enforced? How does it work for staffing?

🚨 A letter to Year 11 families at Michaela Community School states that children who do not attend weekend and holiday revision sessions will “spend time in Referral” They must also attend in full school uniform

@FemCondition Regardless of whether it’s a sacrifice or not, it’s an absurd comparison to assume the same amount of time an effort is required for a single person as it is for a family.
English
Gentle reminder that a woman who cleans the house is actually sacrificing nothing and would still have to clean her house if she didn't have a family.

A gentle reminder that a man who goes to work to “provide for his family” is actually sacrificing nothing And would still have to work if he didn’t have a family

@RobertP79032994 @rotorqt @_celia_bedelia_ The US doesn’t even have a consistent country wide age of consent. Laws vary from state to state in how sex between underage individuals is dealt with.

Yes. I want a 12-year-old to get an abortion so she doesn’t have a child that was almost certainly the product of a rape.
Brilyn Hollyhand@BrilynHollyhand
From where I'm standing, a 12-year-old girl can travel 2 hours, claim they're going to school, and instead get an abortion where a baby is viciously murdered. This is what the Left wants. We can't be quiet. We need to boldly speak out against abortion.
English
@RobertP79032994 @rotorqt @_celia_bedelia_ Not in UK where under law rape is very specifically defined. Women cannot be charged with rape. They can be changed with sexual assault.

@LAURAJOJO @ShakeLS So am I. He wouldn’t make a speech on a State visit without government approval and vetting but it is unlikely that he didn’t have at least some input into its content and style.

@CatherineHall16 @ShakeLS She was only talking about this speech

@GatehouseTwenty @WorkElizab So did I. The worst was steamed fish on a Friday. An anonymous square of white rubbery flakes. I couldn’t even cope with the smell. But then my mum was an exceptionally good cook so I suppose I was spoiled.
English
@WorkElizab Yes, I do remember school dinners. The food was overcooked, tasteless & unpopular. Stodgy & unappetising. Flabby cabbage boiled to death. Lumpy, bland mashed potato. Pale, thin custard
As soon as I was allowed to take sandwiches to school I opted out of school dinners

@PolitlcsGlobal The don’t feel English any more than the Scots or Welsh feel English. They are Falkland Islanders and British.
English
🚨🇫🇰 NEW: Argentina’s Vice President says Falklanders should go back to England
“If they feel English, they should go back to the thousands of miles away where their country is”
English
@josemerodeador @hail_ivan12 @Lunassnacks @MosiniElisa That was the French settlement on East Falkland not the British West Falkland settlement. The French may have relinquished their claim but the British did not. The Spanish drove out the British in 1770 by military force but withdrew in 1811. Argentina wasn’t a state until 1816.
English
@CatherineHall16 @hail_ivan12 @Lunassnacks @MosiniElisa In 1765 the French handed over the "Malouines" colonies to the Spanish through negotiations and monetary compensation (Louis Antoine de Bougainville).
The Spanish name "Malvinas" is derived from the French "Malouines" after the port of Saint Malo in France.
English
Argentinians, you can insult and threaten me as much as you want. I’m not afraid to say the truth: your claim over the Falklands is a form of violence against the inhabitants who have lived on the islands for almost two centuries.
The Falklands are British.
Elisa Mosini 🇪🇺🇮🇹@MosiniElisa
The US wants to punish the UK and could reassess its support for the UK over the Falkland Islands, potentially giving leverage to Milei’s claims over the islands. Guys, let's be clear: The Falkland Islands are British. And their people overwhelmingly voted to remain British.
English
@DarklySardonic @RebelRancher @ma1ybe Good. So presumably you now understand that your experience of childbirth though similar to many women, may not be the same for many more. Delivering a human baby is generally more challenging than it is for most mammals. Natural doesn’t necessarily mean safe.
English
English
@CretinodeNadie @odinsbadeye @QuetzalPhoenix The Falkland Islands didn’t have any indigenous people when they were discovered by Europeans in the 18th Century. Any population after that could considered imported, whether Europeans or Argentine.
English
@odinsbadeye @QuetzalPhoenix No. Nos mezclamos entre aborígenes, europeos, luego surgieron los criollos y mestizos. Luego llegaron olas inmigratorias europeas en el siglo 19 y 20 que ayudaron a levantar a la Argentina como tal. Nada que ver con lo sucedido en Malvinas.
Español
Argentina doesn't recognize the Falkland Islands as legitimate because they claim the UK imported a completely artificial population for purely political reasons. Any vote made would not be valid. The UN agrees.
If they are correct, what would that say about London?
WarMonitor🇺🇦🇬🇧@WarMonitor3
Argentina has called for renewed talks over Britains sovereignty over the Falkland Islands. I just cannot believe this is happening...
English
@DarklySardonic @RebelRancher @ma1ybe Here’s a basic AI summary for you. Yes sure some women have an easier time than others but we all have more difficulty than most other mammals, even when there are no complications.
English
@RebelRancher @CatherineHall16 @ma1ybe I don’t know who you’re basing this on… Yourself? The median? But it’s just not fucking true for everyone. It’s just made up.
English
@DarklySardonic @RebelRancher @ma1ybe I’m basing it on my ability to study subjects like human biology. Don’t you walk upright? Did your baby not have quite a large head compared to its body? Do you have a pelvis more like a cow than a human? Although of course cows aren’t immune to painful difficult deliveries.
English
@hail_ivan12 @josemerodeador @Lunassnacks @MosiniElisa 1764 French - colony in West . 1765 British - colony East & claimed the islands. 1770 Spanish drove out British. 1811 Spanish forced out due to war with Argentina. 1833 British drive out Argentina and resettled islands ( Spain and Argentina only had military presence)
English
@CatherineHall16 @josemerodeador @Lunassnacks @MosiniElisa First settlement was french, the french sold it to Spanish empire. Argentina became independant and took control of the islands until the american attack in 1833 followed by British occupation. No British population seen before argentine one
English
@RebelRancher @DarklySardonic @ma1ybe You are entitled to an opinion but it would be less insulting to other women if it were better informed.
English
Active labor is bearable as well. Early labor is where you can still do anything, cook dinner, do bed time for other kids, go on a walk, go out to eat. I’ve literally done it twice. It’s not bad. Women are just so weak these days that they can’t handle the slightest bit of being uncomfortable for something they’re built to do & that every single other mammal does without pain meds & with ease. It’s ridiculous to me. I’m definitely allowed to have that opinion. Birth has been turned into a medical event when for the majority it doesn’t need to be.
English
@RebelRancher @DarklySardonic @ma1ybe Oh so now it’s only early labour that is bearable. Stop shifting the goal posts to justify guilt tripping other women for making different choices or for following medical advice.
English
@CatherineHall16 @DarklySardonic @ma1ybe Active labor past 5cm is not even half a day. Early labor is perfectly bearable.
English
@AgtLombardini @MosiniElisa Spain had a military presence rather than any civilian settlement. France, Spain and Britain variously contested ownership. The UN did not out right reject the referendum. They maintain that negotiations not referendum alone should settle any dispute between UK and Argentina.
English
@CatherineHall16 @MosiniElisa 1) The United Kingdom left the islands in 1774 and Spain ruled until 1811. 2) Argentina inherited the territory and formed a civilian colony. 3) In 1833, the UK did not "take control" but rather usurped it militarily and expelled the Argentinians 4) The UN rejected the referendum
English
@josemerodeador @Lunassnacks @MosiniElisa It was a military garrison. The islands were not settled by Argentine civilians. The British had maintained a claim since their first settlement was established in 1775. As far as Britain was concerned the Argentine garrison was an illegal occupation.
English
@CatherineHall16 @Lunassnacks @MosiniElisa The Argentine population was also displaced (actually expelled) from the Malvinas Islands in 1833.
So what is the value of the referendum that favors the British?
English
@Lunassnacks @MosiniElisa Whether there has ever been an indigenous South American population is not known. It was uninhabited when Europeans landed. The Spanish were the first but the British founded the first settlements. The current population of the Falklands is predominantly of British descent.
English
@CatherineHall16 @MosiniElisa So no South American person ever lived or traveled to the Falklands in all of human history? The English were the first? You really aren't that stupid are you?
English
@josemerodeador @Lunassnacks @MosiniElisa It certainly is hypocrisy to compare a referendum held with full scrutiny from international observers with one held in occupied territory by the occupiers and with a significant proportion of the population displaced.
English
@CatherineHall16 @Lunassnacks @MosiniElisa Those who live in the Donbas voted to be Russian, just as those who live in the Falklands voted to be British.
Some call it a double standard.
Others call it hypocrisy.
And hypocrisy is the reason why Europe is left alone.
