A conspiracy theory. The planet was much warmer before the invention of thermometers. Prove me wrong. 'Phew it's hot' written on papyrus in Assyrian is not proof🤣🤣🤣

Things you never thought you’d see

Sorry but that M&S video doing the rounds is peak rage baiting. Obviously you won’t be changing in front of men, unless you refuse one of the private changing rooms and decide to drop your pants in the middle of the store.

@WomensRightsNet @marksandspencer They’ll end up with women having to purchase items to try on elsewhere, only to have to return/exchange them when they don’t fit. I Imagine if this happened on a regular basis that their staff would be busy.

1/ @marksandspencer if this is the result of your staff training then shame on you. A woman is quite reasonably asking why she should share a changing room with a man. Do you recommend brushing the worries of women & girls off? The woman was polite despite her distress, yet your staff member says “…if you’re gonna be abusive…”. This misdirection is exactly the same as the men in dresses who complain to the police about women who make them feel “unsafe”. Unsafe is a mixed sex changing room. The men in these situations are neither being abused nor unsafe. They are dishonestly manipulating the narrative to deny women their rights by claiming fear themselves.

@AndyBurnhamGM Why can’t you say they were Murdered?!!! We see you 👀

Today we think of everyone affected by the attack in Manchester on the night of the 22nd May 2017, and particularly the families who lost loved-ones, knowing that every single day of the nine years since has been hard for them. We are still at their side and always will be. 🐝

@InspGadgetBlogs Police never count unless they can score point using them.

Paragraph 4. Police? They really do hate us, don't they?

@MasterMaliq Maybe because you rarely see any “compassionate Muslims” coming out against those extreme ones who commit atrocities.

Muslims are not dangerous. We are human beings like everyone else, with families, love, care, and ordinary lives. Our faith teaches compassion, not hatred. Our Prophet taught respect and mercy. Yes, there are a few extremists who distort our religion and bring shame to it, but they do not represent the vast majority of Muslims. So why is it that many still get profiled and treated as suspects? Is it fear, or hate?

BREAKING: Keir Starmer says on X that he’s restored control to our borders. 🤪

@TomK_Brit1993 I’ll have a pint of what you’re drinking 😂😂

Keir Starmer is still a better Prime Minister than Boris Johnson ever was.

@BasilTheGreat Maybe it’s because Kier Starmer is a

Keir Starmer has never mentioned Henry Nowak He hasn't ever mentioned Wayne Broadhurst, a man murdered by an afghan migrant in the street He hasn't mentioned Rhiannon Whyte either, a young mother who was murdered by an asylum seeker who was placed in the hotel she worked at

@koshercockney Not a very diverse council.

Believe it or not. This is a UK city council members meeting.

@canthelpmenow7 He needs intervention

Many moons ago I was a Unison member. If I had been one today I’d definitely cancel my membership.

This has to be my choice for pic of the day.

The far right try to claim our flags but in truth hate our country. They despise what makes the rest of us proud & makes us British, from the NHS to our BBC. They peddle anti-British propaganda globally. Thousands may march today but millions more stand against hate & for Britain
