This is why no one respects the police. They aren't interested in real crime. They're just Hi Vis fancy dress wearing woke foot soldiers of the alphabet mafia.

WHEN I AM OLD When I am old... I will wear soft gray sweatshirts... and a bandana over my silver hair... and I will spend my social security checks on my dogs. I will sit in my house on my well-worn chair and listen to my dogs breathing. I will sneak out in the middle of a warm summer night and take my dogs for a run, if my old bones will allow... When people come to call, I will smile and nod as I show them my dogs... and talk of them and about them... the ones so beloved of the past and the ones so beloved of today... I will still work hard cleaning after them, mopping and feeding them and whispering their names in a soft loving way. I will wear the gleaming sweat on my throat, like a jewel, and I will be an embarrassment to all... especially my family... who have not yet found the peace in being free to have dogs as your best friends... These friends who always wait, at any hour, for your footfall... and eagerly jump to their feet out of a sound sleep, to greet you as if you are a God, with warm eyes full of adoring love and hope that you will always stay, I'll hug their big strong necks... I'll kiss their dear sweet heads... and whisper in their very special company... I look in the mirror... and see I am getting old... this is the kind of person I am... and have always been. Loving dogs is easy, they are part of me. Please accept me for who I am. My dogs appreciate my presence in their lives... they love my presence in their lives... When I am old this will be important to me... you will understand when you are old, if you have dogs to love too. ❤️🐾 Author Unknown (DM) Follow Us

Of all the brainless delusions that we've seen over the past few years, perhaps the most breathtaking is the idea that the Covid Inquiry will conclude anything other than lockdowns were fine, jabs were a miracle and the government just didn't do enough of it all.

Man: no definition needed. Non-man (formerly known as woman): a being definable only by reference to the male. An absence, a vacuum where there's no man-ness.

Just Stop Oil are being threatened with restrictions on travel, and the cancelling of their driving licences, in response to their disruptive protests. This is JSO's purpose, to usher in a totalitarian state, where protest, free speech, and true democracy will become nothing but a distant memory. Be careful what you wish for.

JK Rowling built herself up from nothing. She has donated millions to charity, saved over 100 female lawyers from being executed by the Taliban, and supports vulnerable women fleeing domestic abuse. She is a role model to women everywhere, not some cartoon villain.

I've had a few people telling me about how transphobic they find "I Am Not A Dress". Let me remind everyone of something: "If this offends you, I do not care" Everyone accusing me of "transphobia" - stop wasting your time. I could not care less.

Today Iranian students demonstrated against the execution of three young protestors by shouting: “Woman, Life, Freedom”. Yesterday, the Iranian regime hanged those innocent youths for shouting the same three words: “Woman, Life, Freedom”. #MahsaAmini

The Secretary-General of the U.N @antonioguterres should listen to one of the Iranian protesters who was blinded by the Islamic Republic and answer her question. How can the representative of the regime that kills the innocent protesters and blinds them be elected as the Chair of the U.N. Human Rights Council Social Forum? How can murderers and rapists improve human rights in the world? This is an insult to the tens of thousands of victims tortured, raped and murdered by this regime and must be stopped. #WomanLifeFreedom #MahsaAmini‌

It’s 2023 and students at one of the best universities in Britain need emotional support after a mild-mannered lesbian philosophy professor came on campus to say that biological sex is real.

Today, Iran's judiciary confirmed the death sentences of three more Iranian protesters, #MajidKazemi, #SaeedYaghoobi & #SalehMirhashemi. Their executions could come at any moment. A few months ago, a large number of other protesters were similarly condemned to death but in the end five were actually executed. The other executions were stopped by the intervention of representatives of western countries and people like you. We Iranian people call on you, leaders of western countries and members of their parliaments to stop the executions of these three innocent young men. We need your help to save their lives. #WomanLifeFreedom #MahsaAmini

Iranian people are no longer afraid of the government. A video that reached me from Isfahan shows that the police asking those holding a music concert in the street to stop playing and leave, but the people do not pay attention to the request and instead force the police to leave. A beautiful image of people's unity against oppressors. #WomanLifeFreedom

Unfortunately, these two innocent souls, #Youssef_Mehrad and #Sadrollah_Fazeli_Zare, have just been executed by the bloodthirsty Islamist regime in Iran. They had committed no crime. They were merely against superstition and religion. The world should’ve heard their voice

@backtolife_2023 @noreward_norisk “Soylent Green is people…”

Criticizing Islam can get you killed in Iran. Today 2 Iranian men have been executed for the crime of “insulting Quran and the Prophet, apostasy”. Islamic Republic is ISIS but with oil and that is why the West is still legitimizing this barbaric regime. Otherwise the executions of Yousef Mehrad and Sadrollah Fazeli-Zare must be condoned by all the leaders of democratic countries and the West must recall their ambassadors. Unfortunately the West is more keen to get a nuclear deal rather than supporting the young generation in Iran who want to have freedom of expression.

Letter from Julian Assange to King Charles III [May 5 2023]

"If you care about press freedom, make some noise about Julian Assange" theguardian.com/media/2023/may…

LETTER FROM JULIAN #ASSANGE TO THE KING OF ENGLAND To His Majesty King Charles III, On the coronation of my liege, I thought it only fitting to extend a heartfelt invitation to you to commemorate this momentous occasion by visiting your very own kingdom within a kingdom: His Majesty’s Prison Belmarsh. You will no doubt recall the wise words of a renowned playwright: “The quality of mercy is not strained. It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven upon the place beneath.” Ah, but what would that bard know of mercy faced with the reckoning at the dawn of your historic reign? After all, one can truly know the measure of a society by how it treats its prisoners, and your kingdom has surely excelled in that regard. Your Majesty’s Prison Belmarsh is located at the prestigious address of One Western Way, London, just a short foxhunt from the Old Royal Naval College in Greenwich. How delightful it must be to have such an esteemed establishment bear your name. It is here that 687 of your loyal subjects are held, supporting the United Kingdom’s record as the nation with the largest prison population in Western Europe. As your noble government has recently declared, your kingdom is currently undergoing “the biggest expansion of prison places in over a century”, with its ambitious projections showing an increase of the prison population from 82,000 to 106,000 within the next four years. Quite the legacy, indeed. As a political prisoner, held at Your Majesty’s pleasure on behalf of an embarrassed foreign sovereign, I am honoured to reside within the walls of this world class institution. Truly, your kingdom knows no bounds. During your visit, you will have the opportunity to feast upon the culinary delights prepared for your loyal subjects on a generous budget of two pounds per day. Savour the blended tuna heads and the ubiquitous reconstituted forms that are purportedly made from chicken. And worry not, for unlike lesser institutions such as Alcatraz or San Quentin, there is no communal dining in a mess hall. At Belmarsh, prisoners dine alone in their cells, ensuring the utmost intimacy with their meal. Beyond the gustatory pleasures, I can assure you that Belmarsh provides ample educational opportunities for your subjects. As Proverbs 22:6 has it: “Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.” Observe the shuffling queues at the medicine hatch, where inmates gather their prescriptions, not for daily use, but for the horizon-expanding experience of a “big day out” — all at once. You will also have the opportunity to pay your respects to my late friend Manoel Santos, a gay man facing deportation to Bolsonaro’s Brazil, who took his own life just eight yards from my cell using a crude rope fashioned from his bedsheets. His exquisite tenor voice now silenced forever. Venture further into the depths of Belmarsh and you will find the most isolated place within its walls: Healthcare, or “Hellcare” as its inhabitants lovingly call it. Here, you will marvel at sensible rules designed for everyone’s safety, such as the prohibition of chess, whilst permitting the far less dangerous game of checkers. Deep within Hellcare lies the most gloriously uplifting place in all of Belmarsh, nay, the whole of the United Kingdom: the sublimely named Belmarsh End of Life Suite. Listen closely, and you may hear the prisoners’ cries of “Brother, I’m going to die in here”, a testament to the quality of both life and death within your prison. But fear not, for there is beauty to be found within these walls. Feast your eyes upon the picturesque crows nesting in the razor wire and the hundreds of hungry rats that call Belmarsh home. And if you come in the spring, you may even catch a glimpse of the ducklings laid by wayward mallards within the prison grounds. But don’t delay, for the ravenous rats ensure their lives are fleeting. I implore you, King Charles, to visit His Majesty’s Prison Belmarsh, for it is an honour befitting a king. As you embark upon your reign, may you always remember the words of the King James Bible: “Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy” (Matthew 5:7). And may mercy be the guiding light of your kingdom, both within and without the walls of Belmarsh. Your most devoted subject, Julian Assange #FreeAssangeNOW

“Trans people have been around throughout history and aren’t going anywhere”… Oh really? Where were TW when women were considered property of their husbands? When women couldn’t divorce an abusive husband? When marital rape was legal? When women couldn’t go to college?
