@Janela_X Sophie Conran (on Amazon) do

Looking for a new cutlery set. How many of you were brought up using soup spoons? Why can't you get sets with soup spoons anymore?

@carlosecarlos04 @MikeLevin I live in Europe, in Scotland 2.2% of our population are Muslim and 93% are white. What you describe doesn’t reflect my daily experience. As for US helping us in war, we paid ten times over for WW1 and 2 support. We even, at our expense, supported you in an illegal war in 2004.

Let me tell you something Mr. Bullshit Politician - FUCK EUROPE and FUCK NATO. Freeloading bastards - they haven't pulled their weight in 85+ years. Europe has been destroyed by mass migration/invasion and you and your pals are trying it here in the US - FAFO - politicians won't be important in the end...

This is truly insane, and it should be front page news across America.  Denmark secretly deployed soldiers to Greenland prepared to blow up airport runways to stop a U.S. invasion. They brought blood supplies to treat the wounded. France, Germany, Norway, and Sweden quietly coordinated against us. This was not a drill. This was our closest allies preparing to fight Americans. Let that sink in. NATO allies. Countries whose soldiers have fought and died alongside ours for decades. They looked at this president and decided they had to prepare for the worst. Fewer allies does not make America great. It makes us more isolated, more vulnerable, and it hands Russia and China exactly what they have always wanted: an America abandoned by its friends. The American people deserve to know how badly this president has damaged our standing in the world.  bbc.com/news/articles/…

@lnmackenzie1 Not sure the civil servants know the difference either!

When considering who to vote for on 7 May, it's worth finding out whether your candidates understand the difference between parliament and government. Astonishingly, not all of them do.

@boatlady @fergustp @J_Miller175 @InchOrInfinity Is the end result that she can have an abortion post 24 weeks consequence free?

@fergustp @IzziDaly @J_Miller175 @InchOrInfinity No, if it was legal, a woman could obtain an abortion from a doctor or clinic. Abortion post 23 weeks and 6 days remains illegal apart from in extreme medical circumstances

Wait are there actually people who think the law is changing & folk will turn round at 38 weeks pregnant and say "actually doctor this isn't for me" and get a next-day abortion? 😭

@EnglishRose_95 @OscarGreta1846 @LindyLo08277677 Where the mother’s health is at risk but that was already covered with previous legislation.

@OscarGreta1846 @LindyLo08277677 Please can you give an example of a case in which killing a baby would be morally acceptable to you? I just want an example I can’t think of any myself.

Full term abortion HAS NOT been legalised. Stop spreading lies! They are legal up to 23 weeks abortion after 24 weeks are only permitted under specific circumstances. Facts are important.

@boatlady @J_Miller175 @InchOrInfinity Semantics. End result is the same, no consequences for aborting the full term baby.

@J_Miller175 @InchOrInfinity No, it is still illegal, the criteria for legal abortion remains the same. This bill means that the pregnant woman would not face criminal prosecution, it does not legalised the act.

@Jingerella66 @DrCalumMiller One who is being coerced may do so.

@DrCalumMiller No sane woman is going to do that. Not one.

Abortionists keep saying "it only legalises abortion up to birth for the woman" as if it's a flex. It is arguably worse. All it means is: a woman can order pills online and have a late-term abortion by herself with no medical supervision, putting her own life at risk too. Totally insane and evil.

@aldis_daniel @WarrenB_69 @JamesPGoddard90 The age of criminal responsibility is 10. An under 16 year old male does not have a free pass to rape a girl (or boy) due to his age.

@IzziDaly @WarrenB_69 @JamesPGoddard90 they were all under 16 at the time

🚨BREAKING: 3 Boys Accused Of Raping A Girl & Filming It Found Not Guilty 🛑The teenage girl, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was allegedly raped just off a footpath near to Newbold tram stop in Rochdale in February 2024, 🛑Prosecutors alleged the defendants -[took] it in turns' and 'swapped positions' during the incident. 🛑In the footage, which was played to the jury, 'clapping' noises could be heard, along with a voice telling the girl to 's*** it'. It was said the now 16-year-old could be seen behind the girl, while the now 15-year-old was filming. The now 14-year-old was said to have 'slapped her bottom'. 🛑Following the two-week trial, all three boys were cleared of all charges by a jury. I would personally like an ethnicity check on the boys and the jury!

@LoisMcLatch The ‘people’ consistently support assisted dying, it’s their MSP’s who deny them their say. This is such a significant issue the people should have a direct say via a refferendum.

Those who support assisted su!c!de plan to bring the debate back again and again until they get the answer they want. That’s not respecting democracy. The people of Scotland have spoken, clearly. This concept is far too dangerous for far too many vulnerable people. 💉

@dstephenh99 @Mandy92952225 @IrisDuane Equally the bill could have compromised on some areas of concern.

@IzziDaly @Mandy92952225 @IrisDuane The anti lobby really did a good job of terrifying people of things not in the bill and they should be ashamed of themselves.

I’m glad our parliament had a round debate about assisted suicide. However, no matter how positive the intentions, I cannot support assisted suicide legislation. An ableist society cannot create non-ableist solutions. Let’s give people a right to live before the right to die

@DalgetySusan @IsleLesbos Babies are all so different, but so fascinating. Such a magical time but a shame we wish it away as we chase the next milestone!

@IzziDaly @IsleLesbos That’s what I did. Again, according to my mother. I was speaking before my first tooth appeared (13 months).

A mum popped into our office looking for the Children’s Therapy office next door. The child is going to see a physical therapist because she’s not crawling yet. She not 1 yr old yet. Would you be worried if your child wasn’t crawling yet? Just wondering.

@DalgetySusan @IsleLesbos Mine bottom shuffled but never crawled!

@IsleLesbos Lots of babies never crawl. I didn’t according to my mother”. Only one of my two sons did.

@WarrenB_69 @SignifyingMonky @JamesPGoddard90 Sexual activity with an under 16 year old is not consensual in law even if she appears to give permission.

@IzziDaly @SignifyingMonky @JamesPGoddard90 Correct... but the argument is whether or not rape was proven. In this case it was not - the only reason it could not have been proven is because it must've been shown she consented

@SignifyingMonky @WarrenB_69 @JamesPGoddard90 Age of criminal responsibility in England is 10, including for rape.

@IzziDaly @WarrenB_69 @JamesPGoddard90 They were under 16

@WarrenB_69 @JamesPGoddard90 You can’t consent if you are under 16.

@JamesPGoddard90 People in the comments can cry about it as much as they like, but they're clearly not looking at the verdict and why it was given. In order to prove rape, it must be non consensual - they must've seen or heard evidence that showed the girl was an active participant

@Mandy92952225 @IrisDuane This bill was to support people who are in their last months to have a dignified death if they chose. It wouldn’t have impacted on you or anyone else with a chronic pain condition or living with a disability.

@IrisDuane As someone with a chronic pain condition I agree. I am in agony almost every day and from able bodied people today I have seen they would rather we chose to die than fight for us to have adequate pain relief and services to give us a decent life.

@david_duguid @HumzaYousaf Perhaps Holyrood (MSP’s, civil servants, legal support) doesn’t have the skills or structures needed to make good law, on this, or many more issues.

I completely agree with this post from @HumzaYousaf! 😳 As I said in my article👇 on #AssistedDying, “Empathising with the principle of assisted dying does not oblige anyone to support THIS particular Bill”, particularly if concerns about risks like coercion are left unresolved.

@david_duguid I’m in favour of assisted dying for those who are terminally ill and choose this option, however intransigence on safeguarding issues like this made the failure of this Bill inevitable. Same as the one going through Westminster.

Why WOULD the idea of #AssistedDying be brought up first by ANYONE other than the patient? If the reasons advocated by those in favour of the Bill are present, SURELY the first person to be aware would be the patient?

@ClaraTeaTime @LoisMcLatch No, I’ve seen palliative care that even with the most caring staff doesn’t give a dignified, pain free death.

@IzziDaly @LoisMcLatch Again & again & again it has been detailed in debates & discussions that dying with dignity, pain free is actually called properly funded, fully caring & top quality, expertly led palliative care. Assisted suicide is not dignified or pain free. You've been deceived.

Death might just be defeated tonight…
