Some days you can’t love social media enough. This is one of those days. It began like this. Someone stole 12 tons of KitKats. And then the replies started coming in. Scroll down.

@KITKAT I’ve heard of stealing called a “5 finger discount” before. Is this technically a 4 fingered discount? 🤔

The Free Speech Union
The Free Speech Union@SpeechUnion·
📣🚨The Free Speech Union is mounting a legal challenge against the Government over its official definition of Islamophobia — now repackaged as 'anti-Muslim hatred' — and its appointment of a new 'tsar' to punish people who fall foul of it. This amounts to a Muslim blasphemy law via the back door. The definition is vague and subjective, and will be weaponised to silence legitimate criticism and debate about Islam, Muslims, and Islamic practices and history. The FSU’s General Secretary, Lord Young of Acton, said: “This is the most serious threat to free speech the Government has come up with so far — the only area in which it’s achieving any success. “If we don’t win this fight, tens of thousands of people a year could lose their jobs at the say-so of a Labour-appointed ‘tsar’. It’s dystopian.” Public bodies will adopt this definition — despite it being non-statutory — with the same zeal the police have shown in investigating and recording non-crime hate incidents (NCHIs). It is predicted by one of the drafters of the definition that it could lead to around 20,000 reports of 'anti-Muslim hostility' a year. At present, the number of recorded anti-Muslim hate crimes is around 4,000. In a free society, no religion should be shielded from legitimate criticism. This proposal places one faith above the rest. The Free Speech Union is bringing a legal challenge on two grounds. First, the definition relies on nebulous, legally undefined terms such as “negative and prejudicial stereotyping of Muslims”, making it incoherent and irrational — and ripe for weaponisation. Second, adopting such a definition cuts across legislation already enacted by Parliament and therefore breaches the public law principle known as “occupying the field”. Under this established public law doctrine, new regulations, put in place by ministers, must not replace existing legislation. It is constitutionally unlawful. In this case, the body responsible for protecting Muslims from discrimination is the Equality and Human Rights Commission, not an anti-Muslim hostility 'tsar'. Parliament voted to abolish blasphemy laws 18 years ago. We can't let this Government resurrect them via the back door. This is one of the biggest battles the Free Speech Union has ever taken on in its six years — and we need your help. Judicial reviews are expensive, but this is a fight we felt we had to take on.

Interesting day at the office 😆TOKYO MARATHON. No expectations, just testing the engines, seeing how far off PB pace I am since illness/injury. Turns out 19 minutes 🤣 but I held goal pace well for longer than I expected. I can work with that. Time of 4:00:00

One of the hardest decisions of my running career was to pull out of Seville marathon this morning. After coming down with a nasty cold that turned into a nasty cough yesterday. Eyes on Tokyo in 2 weeks. Worst training block ever, but lessons learnt.

I am 49. My first job was in Freeman Hardy Willis. I was 15 and lied about my age to get the job. I earned £2.14 an hour.

@FondOfBeetles I did didn’t I… well, it was selling wet fish at the front of a fish and chip shop, tbh I think I’m still traumatised by the smell! I got paid £5 for about 4 hours. That was good money back then.

@clairebubblepop That’s a strawman argument. Just because the mega rich are also morally in the wrong, doesn’t mean we shouldn’t care about everyone else getting funds from the tax payer illegitimately. Two things can both be true surely. Both are controlled by government. Both can be resolved.

And I’m gonna keep saying it till it’s drummed in your heads. It’s NOT migrants making us poorer… it’s the millionaires and billionaires hoarding all the wealth!

I’m SICK of saying it, but I’ll say it again. Asylum seekers can’t claim benefits. You need an NI number to do that. Asylum seekers aren’t staying in 5* hotels. Asylum seekers get £49.18p a week to live on. Could YOU live on that? NOPE. So stop pretending they’re living it large.
