@Waternixie9 @Fox_Claire @MShipworth @SpeechUnion @joshxhowie They have offered to help him if he becomes a member.

@Fox_Claire @MShipworth @SpeechUnion @joshxhowie I hope they have not! Because he will not be a member, and I think it's quite a poor show to offer to assist in these circumstances on the back of actual member's fees.

I hope @SpeechUnion offers to support Heather Herbert, Aberdeen U staff member, in his defence against these charges. The law must not be used to silence opinions - however vile. And I hope @joshxhowie invites Heather onto Free Speech Nation.

@d2leeds @Fox_Claire @MShipworth @SpeechUnion @joshxhowie I was surprised to see in your profile that you are a member of the Free Speech Union. I take it that you know that they disagree with you about free speech.

@goueeik @jk_rowling If people come in diffferent categories, distinguished by different biological characteristics, as they do (female/male, old/young, ablebodied/disabled) then there certainly should be special rights for each category.

@jk_rowling Women have equal rights. The basis for their rights is the humanity they have in common with all other people. There isn’t a special class of rights for any group of people based on any biological characteristic.

And what do you propose women’s rights should be based on instead of our sex, dear guru? Special lady feels? Spinny skirts and lipstick? Candyfloss coloured souls?

@_Peter_Cook A small group of people go on a slow road trip while one of them plays chess.

Young boy joins neighborhood association, but over time, he regrets his choice and eventually leaves their employ.

@brightestpet @sappholives83 The obsession that forced birthers have with DNA puzzles me. You do know, I suppose, that more than one person can have the same 'unique DNA' and that a single person can have more than one set of 'unique DNA'.

@sappholives83 Since unique DNA is created at conception, the baby is alive.

One of the most interesting facts I have come across recently is that until relatively recently, first trimester abortions were not considered to be abortions per se. Throughout most of the medieval period, the Catholic Church taught that a baby did not have a soul until it began to look like a human being. Abortion was not considered illegal unless the baby had developed that far. Anything else was just kind of considered birth control. The idea that life begins at conception is a relatively modern concept.

@MLindell7 @HazelAppleyard dilly-dally? Sorry, I don't know what that means. If Kate wants it she should have it.

@KOhtobide @HazelAppleyard No. It's a major surgery. You shouldn't choose something like that dilly-dally.

On one hand of course the boyfriend doesn’t get to decide how she chooses to give birth but on the other, choosing to have a c section because your mom doesn’t want you to go through labour pain is absolutely insane.

@noneofthesecand @HazelAppleyard JFC, first it does not mean she can't have more kids. Where did you get that from? And, if it did, it is still her decision.

@HazelAppleyard Ultimately, while he doesn't get to say how she gives birth (as long as it's safe and not in an at home floating placenta bathtub with a goat as a midwife crazy stuff), if it means she can't have more kids, and they agreed on more, I think he has a right to be upset 🤷‍♂️

@mahiraraks @HazelAppleyard Of course it will leave a scar. But nowadays quite a small one.

@HazelAppleyard How will a c section ruin her body?

@ThePosieParker @OnChairs I think feisty is a compliment. At least I have always used it that way. It means assertive, not submissive, ready to express opinions and act on them, sure of your own worth. I would love to be called feisty.

@OnChairs Feisty is "aggressive and rude"* really isn't it? Maybe men just get called aggressive or overbearing? *I've been described as feisty.

Another dreadful, sexist word - 'feisty'. Never heard a man described as 'feisty'.

This is MMA fighter Sean McInnes. When Anne Marie Boyle asked him to leave her alone, he punched her in the face so hard that he broke her cheekbone and her eye socket, knocked her unconscious, and left her with a life-altering brain injury. He was given less than two years behind bars. It would be a real shame if this post was widely circulated and impacted his career in a negative way.

@benonwine Keir Starmer. I can't stand him but Charles is worse.

If England reach the World Cup final, Keir Starmer has already said he’ll be there. But shouldn’t it be the King 👑 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿representing the country? Who would you rather have standing for England on the world stage the King, or Keir Starmer?

@MichalYouDoing @DanielKlein42 @GabrielXai @Kaps_0911 @NicoViergever @AMilitantAgnost @AgainstAtheismX Ok there could be a bottleneck of two with some species. With the human species, I'm not so sure. But if it wasn't a statement against evolution it was certainly a statement restricting evolution and restricting evolutionary research. And with no evidence to back it up.

@KOhtobide @DanielKlein42 @GabrielXai @Kaps_0911 @NicoViergever @AMilitantAgnost @AgainstAtheismX Evolution doesn't rule out a single original pair. And a single original couple doesn't rule out evolution.

One of the biggest lies of Atheism is that it's the position of "science". Don't believe me? Isaac Newton believed in God. Albert Einstein believed in God. Johannes Kepler believed in God. Galileo Galilei believed in God. Blaise Pascal believed in God. Robert Boyle believed in God. Michael Faraday believed in God. James Clerk Maxwell believed in God. Gregor Mendel believed in God. Louis Pasteur believed in God. Lord Kelvin (William Thomson) believed in God. Max Planck believed in God. Georges Lemaître believed in God. Francis Collins believed in God.

@Time4Restore @tag4UK @DebbieThornhil4 What are you suggesting? That she should give up her job so that the family finances fall and then she will get some of those benefits?

@tag4UK @DebbieThornhil4 You have a young child and both work. You are the problem, you both decided money was the most important thing in your lives. The state is doing exactly the same as you, imported people are more GDP to them. They prioritise money, just like you have.

I am married with a young daughter, both myself and my husband work. -We are not entitled to housing benefit, or any other benefit for that matter. -We do not get free eye tests, free dental care or free prescriptions. -Our daughter is not entitled to free school meals, or free breakfast clubs, or free wrap around care, no help with her uniform. -We don’t get council tax discount, or any other discount. -We don’t get help with our energy bills, or low cost broadband. -We don’t get help with the cost of going to the cinema, or days out at theme parks. -My daughter is unable to play outside unsupervised, because you have failed to secure our borders and the streets aren’t safe. -If I work more hours, I fall into the higher tax band. Why should someone like me, vote for someone like you? @UKLabour @andyburnham What are you offering my family?

@MichalYouDoing @DanielKlein42 @GabrielXai @Kaps_0911 @NicoViergever @AMilitantAgnost @AgainstAtheismX Is an encyclical a formal statement? In Humani Generis Pius XII says that Catholics must believe that there was once just one man, Adam, on Earth (he doesn't mention Eve). That is not something evolutionary biologists would accept.

The Roman Inquisition formally acknowledged heliocentrism in 1758. The 1st empirical evidence of it had been Bradley aberration, 1729. Informally, the Roman Inquisition had no issue with the subject before 1616, and had stopped pursuing the subject in the 1670s. The Church made no formal statements against Newtonian mechanics or Evolution.

@ThePosieParker There have to be a few basic rules, enforced by law. Other than that I don't think it is our business. I certainly don't think it is mine. As for burkinis, and burkas, I know many women have no choice. But I still agree with Johnson. Those who choose should be free to do so.

@KOhtobide Don't look is such a moronic take, public indecency is all of our business. Likewise the vile intention of burkinis should not be ignored.

I dislike burkinis and arse out costumes and bikinis.... See how that works?

@felicitybagwash @ThePosieParker That is certainly a problem but the solution should be controlling the men, not making the young girls cover up. My own experience was that it didn't make much difference what you wear. There will always be men who harass young women.

The problem is more with the people who DO like to look, the perverts, who will then follow young girls about, sexually harassing them. In an ideal world it wouldn't make any difference what people wore, but we're not living in an ideal world and certain groups of men seem incapable of controlling themselves.

@Landi683 @ThePosieParker No young person ever should be told it is their business to look 'elegant & enticing'.

@KOhtobide @ThePosieParker You said obliged not me. Should the young be guided at all or just be influenced by people with the aim of making money by acting more extreme.
