Why isn’t the media reporting more details about the Ann Widdecombe suspect? Our FactCheck team explains the laws around contempt of court and other laws that impose automatic reporting restrictions. These affect what newspapers, TV news and social media users can say about ongoing cases. #UK #Channel4News #AnnWiddecombe #News #Politics

This driver has been acquitted on appeal. CPS wasn't provided with my full statement. A critical element was omitted meaning the evidence didn't meet the threshold for the cyclist being 'inconvenienced'. Case dropped. A broken system.

@BBCLondonNews The policy has become: Pavements are for people - with cars.

Pavement parking 'encouraged' by local councils ➡️ bbc.in/3TfH3h9

Could I recommend you use some of the recent donations to take a short case on the law, with particular reference to contempt and the risks that can be posed to trial and conviction by media and political commentary? Or are you just a bit thick?

@swiateksg1rl WTA supports all women. As in females. There is no such thing as an invasive transphobic test- just a once in a lifetime cheek swab- takes all of three seconds. Got it? Males are free to play in the men’s tournaments however they might identify. Simple.

@harrowonline @SiLove69 FYI

A video shared in the Harrow Online Facebook group appears to show a driver cutting the corner at Lyncroft Avenue, near the junction with Eastcote Road in #Pinner. The footage was recorded at 3.39pm yesterday, Sunday 19 July. The person who posted it also claimed the driver was holding a mobile phone and said they were forced to slow down near the junction. They warned that cutting corners can place vehicles on the wrong side of the road, putting other drivers, cyclists and pedestrians at risk. Please take extra care around junctions and look out for vulnerable road users. #Harrow #News 📹 Marcelo Flávio

Richard Gere: “Trump uses the same words that Hitler did. Calls them vermin. They’re not vermin. These are human beings. I’ve met them. He’s never met a refugee or a migrant. These are human beings like us who are usually running from a fire of one kind or another”

@SiLove69 Elmgrove. That’s where a driver knocked me off my bike a few years ago. Peak school time, he took a right into me.

So much for teaching your children not to run into the road without looking. Fortunately, I wasn't in a motor vehicle.

They made a 13 min short movie on Argentina's failed robbery attempt vs Spain 😭😭😭😭😭😭 x.com/Pessi14Yrs/sta…

🎾Breaking: No men allowed in women’s professional tennis The Women’s Tennis Association (WTA) implements sex-screening for all players “to preserve the integrity of women’s professional tennis and maintain fair competition conditions for all players…” Thank you to tennis stars @Martina @ChrissieEvert and @SabalenkaA for being outspoken advocates of fair sport and equal opportunities for women. 👏👏👏

SUV owners: "SUV's are not dangerous to children despite their tall bonnets and poor driver visibility because they're full of pedestrian safety features and have a high NCAP rating" Also SUV owners:

@DanNeidle Tax Supremacist will make a great LinkedIn update. Not sure how Tax Nazi will go down though.

I have great news. When I wrote about Zack Polanski I was merely a white supremacist. But now I’ve suggested Nigel Farage has tax to pay, I’ve become a full blown NAZI. Tbh can’t wait to see where I’ll go next.

@MikeyCycling @BrixtonHatter Does TikTok / YouTube count? I see that all the time.

@BrixtonHatter 2/ offencecode.uk/offence/use-mo…

I wonder how he'll try to justify "driving" like this? He's using a phone in his right hand, which is the biggest offence here, and then he has another phone on the dash playing a podcast video. That too is an offence.

Every claim gender ideologues make, the exact opposite is true, like when they say “non-violent” accompanied by a picture of a man brandishing a hammer. No sane person is looking at this image thinking he’s off to finally finish the pergola.

Amnesty is no longer the organisation that defended all who were persecuted for their freedom of speech. It has become a self-appointed, vainglorious policeman of wrongthink. It tweets out ideological slogans. It demonises those who disagree with those slogans. It intervened in FWS v Scottish Ministers, on the side of those determined to keep men in women’s prisons and rape crisis centres. Some of us haven’t forgotten that Amnesty stopped supporting the since-murdered prisoner of conscience Alexei Navalny because they deemed he’d said unacceptable things in the past. They reversed that decision due to public backlash, exactly as they withdrew the recent defamatory report, before I or anyone else had responded to it, because they panicked on seeing the reaction. A cynic might think they changed their minds on both occasions, not on principle, but because they were afraid of losing money. You cannot be simultaneously an impartial defender of freedom and speech and a wealthy international witch hunter that publicly vilifies and intimidates small campaigning groups with whom you disagree. As for ‘silencing’ Amnesty, I have neither the power nor the desire to do so. I want them to explain as loudly and extensively as possible why they are using their might and formerly lustrous reputation to attack small non-violent campaigning organisations with legally protected beliefs.

An untrained and unlicensed Lime bike rider dangerously rides on the wrong side of the road into incoming traffic and almost causes an accident. It's time cyclists were forced to learn the highway code like motorists have to.

@GrahameParkGirl @newsandpics Easier to group all groups together by the worsts of the opposition. Many women’s rights advocates are pro choice. Dirty tactics or drawing a left / right line.

@newsandpics I note they didn’t use any images of actual Terf events. None of our banners or slogans were shown, only anti-abortion rallies. I wonder why? Could it be that they feared showing our real messaging might undermine the lies they are telling about us?😏

For more than a year Amnesty International has been coaching students in how to oppose what it describes as the “anti-gender movement”. Trigger warning: this video from the course contains extensive use of air quotes. Full details of the Gender Justice course in the replies.
