Trans people are a very small minority group targeted by fear, hatred, and violence.
Let's do our part to love and defend them!
You are seen, loved, and accepted here! 💙🩷🤍

This is always such a lovely meeting to host.
Yes, we can absolutely make valid political-economy-based critiques of the effectiveness of product labelling schemes under capitalism (I have). Yet it is wonderful to spend some time acknowledging the labour of those in the global south and working to ensure they are paid fairer.

Good to chair today's Hinckley and Bosworth Fairtrade Forum meeting. Thanks to @RobinHanford for hosting us again at the Unitarian Chapel. Always encouraging to see local people committed to making global trade fairer for producers and communities. 🌎 #Fairtrade #Hinckley

Can we start a trend of putting Bible passages through the LinkedIn translator?
I'll start with Ezekiel 23:19-20

Just as a brief heads-up, many Bible scholars refer to biblical books as "Two Corinthians" or "One John," so criticizing Trump for that doesn't score many points. We should stick to his rape & pedophilia & misogyny & racism & corruption & incompetence & malice & stupidity & etc.

@MoneySavingExp I bought my current refurbished iPhone 12 on eBay a little over 2 years ago. Before then, I had an iPhone XR. The biggest changes I noticed were 5G and the increased storage space.

Research suggests that the length of time people wait to upgrade their mobile is growing (average 3.5 years). So we want to know when was the last time you upgraded yours? 📱
What did you have, what did you change to, and have you noticed a big difference between the handsets?

This is what Christian rightwing politicians in the US support right now:
Will Christou@will_christou
Father Pierre Rahi of the Maronite Church was killed by an Israeli strike in Q’alayaa, south Lebanon after refusing to leave his parishioners there. Obv unaffiliated with Hezbollah. He joins a growing list of civilians, children and first responders killed by Israel in Lebanon.

Merely referring to myself as a Christian on this site often generates this reaction.

What's a theological opinion that will have you like this?

When will @metpoliceuk learn that the repeated raiding of the premises of a pacifist religious group really isn't a good look? quaker.org.uk/news-and-event…

@providenceluvr Yes, so long as they write completely different things in completely different styles or genres. Otherwise, you will always be critiquing each other's work.

The recent special service marking #LGBT+ History Month, held at @HinckleyGreat and led by my friend @RobinHanford, is featured in the new edition of The #Hinckley Times (out today). 🏳️🌈

That was kind of my point - I would prefer church buildings remain places of worship that continue to serve the local community, even if that means being repurposed into a chapel, meeting house, mosque, synagogue, temple, gurdwara, etc., rather than becoming private dwellings that make money for flush housing developers.
English
@RobinHanford @revpaulwhite Then the community needs to continue worshipping in them but that’s not happening. So it’s hardly surprising that the buildings become unused or get repurposed.
English
This is a genuine question, because I do not know the answer:
How many Church of England church buildings have been converted into mosques?
Joseph Boam@Joseph_Boam
Our churches should be given protected status so they are not routinely converted into mosques. They are part of Britain’s Christian heritage and identity. Once a church is gone, it’s rarely restored. Preserving faith buildings matters if we value our history. 🇬🇧

These are the disgusting words of fascist ‘Britain First’ leader Paul Golding (now deleted).
It’s the scapegoating of the Muslim community by ‘mainstream’ politicians that gives the likes of Golding the confidence to promote Islamophobia.

The same man who built his career demonising refugees is cheerleading an illegal war that would create millions more.
Just another lapdog for US imperialism.
Nigel Farage MP@Nigel_Farage
Keir Starmer has finally given the US permission to use British bases to destroy Iranian missiles. Better late than never. The Prime Minister is a follower, not a leader.

GeoConfirmed IRN.
Disinformation.
"Footage shows whatever hit the school was a failed rocket launch from IRGC, it wasn't Israel or US."
This claim, with almost 11k likes, 5k retweets and 750.000+ views is WRONG based on GeoConfirmed geolocations.

Right picture is from a misfire in Zanjan, Zanjan Province, Iran

"There is no possible way this could have hit the school, 1,300 kilometers in the opposite direction."

@denisefortru @Martin_Abrams @andrewfeinstein I'd be very cautious about justifying this action by appealing to a perceived nuclear threat. We need to learn from the horrendous mistakes of 2003.
English
@RobinHanford @Martin_Abrams @andrewfeinstein Chagos is not in the UK Greece has offered their bases now anyway. The Iranian regime is active in this country and others. I guess we could wait a few weeks let them use the nuclear power they develope. This lady explains it well. x.com/i/status/20276…

Rupert I agree with you on the army. It's been hollowed out and needs rebuilding urgently. That part is facts. You've talked about Iran and foreign intervention like it's somebody else's problem. I'd ask you to think about that again. Because we're not talking about a faraway conflict that has nothing to do with Britain. We're talking about a regime that is already operating inside this country. The IRGC has been caught running networks through British mosques, charities and universities. 20 Iranian backed plots have been foiled on British soil since 2022 alone. One of their hired thugs stabbed a journalist outside his London home in 2024. They ran fake social media accounts deliberately designed to divide and destabilise the United Kingdom. Policy Exchange called Iran a direct threat to British social cohesion. Not my words. Theirs. And beyond our borders they fund Hamas, they fund Hezbollah, they arm the Houthis who attacked our shipping and pushed costs up for every family in Britain. Nobody is talking about sending troops in. Not one person is asking for that. But proscribing the IRGC, shutting down their networks here, standing loudly with the Iranian people who are being massacred in the streets right now, that costs us nothing militarily. You didn't mention any of that Rupert. And that's the bit that concerns me. This isn't about intervention. It's about awareness. And the threat is already inside our borders.

For someone who hates refugees and migrants you sure do like supporting all the wars, military actions and punitive sanctions that create them Nigel.

The Prime Minister needs to change his mind on the use of our military bases and back the Americans in this vital fight against Iran!

US and Israeli strikes on Iran show contempt for international law. Iran has now responded with strikes across the region.
The UK must not be dragged in to Trump and Netanyahu's war. We must instead do everything possible to facilitate de-escalation and prevent more innocent people from being killed.
