This week is the 42nd anniversary of one of the most shameful days in the history of the Islamic Republic of Iran when 10 Bahá’í women were hanged in Shiraz simply for their faith. The online photo of the the event, itself a reconstruction by a French photographer, is too horrific to share. Two years ago the #OurStoryIsOne campaign was launched connecting it directly to the #WomanLifeFreedom movement to remind the people that all minorities inside and outside Iran are united against this terror driven by an ideology that thinks so little of women and the sanctity of life. #Iran #IsraeliranWar

@triggerpod A small point but absolutely untrue that the West gave Aboriginal people bacterial infections and before that they didn’t need antibiotics. Laughably inaccurate. They had bacteria before the West turned up! It’s also mainly viruses that wipe out indigenous populations (eg, flu).

A Palestinian man who joined protests against Hamas in Gaza is tortured and murdered by Hamas. I expect we'll be seeing a lot of pro-Palestinian marchers in London and on university campuses, and plenty of condemnation on the BBC about that, won't we? 🤔 jpost.com/israel-news/ar…

This is where we are at in the UK. The July 2024 riot by Romanians in Harehills, Leeds - a bus was set alight, Police cars were bricked, etc - has been redefined by the Police as "a Romanian vigil", while a local woman - Nicky Wilcox had lived there for 16 years, she was very active in her community and cared about it - was arrested for causing the rioters "distress" because she came out in her slippers and told the rioters to "go home" and stop causing damage to the area. I'm not sure 'two tier' is an adequate descriptor for whatever tf that is. I do know that if you want to lose a country this is the way to go about it.

@SalfordMH Hi Michael, yes I’ve been following it very closely actually. I, and many others in mental health, are worried about the over diagnosis and medicalisation of normal feelings. I very concerned about diagnosis creep and the impact this has on the poorest and disenfranchised

@liammb1984 ..as I believe it’s disempowering and unhelpful in recovery. The idea also comes from private medicine/US system and pharma. Different doctors have different views about this and I think this is fine.

@liammb1984 @Dr_BellaR Hi Liam, I saw you messaged me. It came across as quite unpleasant which I’m sure it wasn’t intended to be. You might not like the publication I write for, but that doesn’t mean I’ve sold my soul to the devil. I don’t believe in the disease model of addiction…

@KeepGoinEoin And Max is my ‘real’ name - it’s my middle name. And Pemberton is my surname. Also I’m not a Tory. I did vote for Brexit.

@KeepGoinEoin Hi Eoin Yes I do not believe in the disease model of addiction and believe it is disempowering and unhelpful in terms of recovery. It comes from private medicine and pharma. Far from the choice model being depressing, many find it liberating and empowering.

2 years ago, 16 years old Nils Shakarami was sexually assaulted and killed by lslamic regime in Iran. Never forget that those in the west shedding tears for Hezbollah terrorists stayed silent when brave Iranian girls were killed for protesting for human and women’s rights.

Vaping is the single best way to stop people smoking. All the polling evidence is that far too many smokers don’t actually know how much safer it is. This kind of language is not just stupid, but lethal.
Harry Cole@MrHarryCole

Lucy Powell on @timesradio says ministers want to “tackle the scourge of vaping”.

The illiberalism and cronyism of government-funded Creative Scotland has been an open secret for years, but 'literature officer' Dr Alice Tarbuck's deliberate effort to damage @msjlindsay's career (detailed below) shocks even me. Article✍️ @euanmccolm. scotsman.com/news/opinion/c…
