@mcvillerton @triffic_stuff_ How is it not sexism? Women's football has improved exponentially over the past 10 years? Why do you think that is? Are you happier if only the men's game improves while the women's dies a slow death? If your answer is yes, it's sexist.

@foraggio @triffic_stuff_ Ah yes, here we go, little wokey, it’s “sexism” to suggest that international women’s players get routinely beaten by 14 year-old boys, and that maybe they don’t deserve even the level of coverage they get now.

This is WILD! Back when Sky Sports first started showing England women’s football, Tim Lovejoy on Soccer AM absolutely ripped into it: “Nobody was as surprised as I was last week when I found out that Sky Sports has started showing comedy. But it’s true. Thursday night we showed England’s women’s football team playing a World Cup playoff.” 😂 Then he delivers this absolute killer: “We’ve got the highlights… but if you’re not interested, we’re giving you the opportunity to watch paint dry instead.” 😭 Imagine anything even close to this level of banter today about women’s football, especially on Sky Sports. Not a chance! You can’t even mildly criticise the women’s game without getting piled on. Everyone’s forced to play along and pretend it’s exactly the same as the men’s game. No differences whatsoever. Absolute madness!

The Wisla Krakow promotion party looks decent!! 🤯

@Fox_Claire If she thinks the genocide only started on 7 October then, I'm sorry, she can't be taken seriously.

@mcvillerton @triffic_stuff_ 😂 Nice try. I said it was the highest standard achievable. Football as a sport is the same thing, not necessarily some sexist standard of how it should or shouldn't be played. Now who's putting words into someone's mouth?

@foraggio @triffic_stuff_ It’s the media. Those who don’t like it, dont watch it, let alone “rail against it”. It is shivers done are throats and lauded on the same platforms as the men’s. It’s the media who are desperate for there to be no distinction.

@EYakoby Except the religious fundamentalism prevalent in Israeli society, I presume?

BREAKING: Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman reportedly said that he was willing to recognize Israel today. A new Middle East is on the horizon, one based on economic relationships and peace, instead of religious fundamentalism.

@mcvillerton @triffic_stuff_ So women doing something professionally to the highest standard they can achieve don't deserve the same coverage as men doing the same thing professionally to the highest standard they can achieve? Why should there be a distinction?

@mcvillerton @triffic_stuff_ Who is treating women's football like it's better than it is? It's those that rail against it are the ones that seem insistent on comparing it to the men's game, for what reason I don't know. Is it your perception that if people like something you don't, they're desperate?

@foraggio @triffic_stuff_ I never said they shouldn’t play it. Don’t put words in my mouth. If people treated under 10’s football like it was better than it was, I’d call that out too. The desperation to pretend it’s not shit is quite remarkable. It’s not “different”, it’s measurably worse.

@JohnCleese It is completely irrational, unless you're racist and ignorant or, in the case of Stephen, incentivised by Israel to do its bidding.

As I have tried to persuade people before, not wanting your country to be taken over by a mediaeval woman-hating religion is not a 'far right' position More like self preservation And certainly not 'Islamophobia', a word that deliberately suggests that any criticism of Islam is irrational

@mcvillerton @triffic_stuff_ Obviously to who? Millions around the world enjoy women's football for what it is. It's not men's football, so why compare the two? By your measure, kids under 10 shouldn't play football because what they produce is "of a low standard".

@foraggio @triffic_stuff_ Why? It’s obviously not as good, and we’re expected to treat it with the same respect as we do the men’s game. If something is of a low standard, it’s not brainless to point it out.

@mcvillerton @triffic_stuff_ It's not beyond criticism, but the criticism can't just be "it's not as good as men's football". That's brainless.

@foraggio @triffic_stuff_ Why should it be beyond criticism? Nothing and nobody enjoys that right.

I wonder if @SenatorWong has been in touch with Israel over its murder of paramedics in Lebanon. Doubt it. x.com/SkyNews/status…

@JohnCleese How and when did you become so blatantly racist, John. What a huge disappointment you've turned out to be.

The right to criticise a religion is part of British culture Criticism of Islam is Islamoscepticism, not Islamophobia Phobias are irrational fears, like arachnophobia- the fear of spiders Or in the case of Islam, fear of dogs and pigs Calling scepticism (or criticism) a phobia is a misuse of the English language An infidel's fear of being beheaded is not irrational

OG gets what it 🙏 South London – there is nowhere like it. I'm so grateful to have been born and raised there. It's one of the most multi-cultural places on Earth, and it taught me so much. I'm so proud to be able to say that's where I'm from ❤️💙

@patrickbetdavid I hope you didn't spend too long on this analysis, because it's complete nonsense.

There is a lot of noise surrounding the potential US/Iran deal. Here’s what the rumors are so far: - Iran has agreed to give up its stockpile of highly enriched uranium. Iran currently has 400 kg of highly enriched uranium. Enough for 11 nuclear bombs. - The US would begin a phased unfreezing of Iran’s $6b to $30b in cash. - The Strait of Hormuz will open up. - Iran won’t charge a penny for ships to pass through. No $2m toll fee. - The US agrees to relieve some of the sanctions. - War ENDS on all fronts with Lebanon. - US forces near Iran to withdraw. - 30 to 60 days to finalize the nuclear deal. If true, that’s a massive victory for the President. Here are the winners and losers. Winners: 1. American people. Oil prices will likely fall. Shipping insurance costs drop. Inflation pressure eases. 2. The President 3. Global markets. 4. Stock market. 5. Gulf states. Temporary tension eliminated. I have them as both winners and losers. 6. IRGC gains legitimacy. They’re not Venezuela. Whether anyone likes it or not. Including myself. 7. China is a major winner. The Strait of Hormuz hurt them the most. They can spin this to their people that the deal got done after the President left China. 8. Russia relies on Iran being a bit more stable. 9. NATO nations were starting to worry. They were pansies shivering about having to help the US. (They’re also big losers in my eyes) Losers: 1. Iranian people. No one knows what the IRGC will do after this deal to their own people. Their media outlets will say they beat America. That message will 100% be pushed. The Iranian people will be under even more scrutiny by the IRGC. 2. Obama’s administration. This sounds like a much stronger deal than Obama’s administration made. 3. Netanyahu. He wanted regime change or collapse for his legacy, but Trump wasn’t on the same page at the end. 4. NATO was exposed. They showed they don’t have America’s back if shit were to hit the fan. Terrible moment for them. 5. Reza Pahlavi. Another year of not being able to help his people become free. This point will lead to more memes by the RP loyalists but it’s the truth. 6. Gulf states. The IRGC still controls a neighbor capable of firing rockets at surrounding Gulf nations. 7. Iranian proxies and non state actors. Hezbollah, Houthis, and Shia militias will not receive the same funding flow if sanctions are removed under limitations tied to the agreement. 8. Defense contractors and war hawks. They wanted this thing to continue so they could land massive contracts. I’m sure they’re not happy. 9. Oil producers benefiting from high prices. 10. Political extremists on both sides. Those who wanted to see the President lose (woke right) and those pushing for nuclear war. 11. Democrats. They desperately needed this to continue heading into the midterms. They will HATE this deal. Don’t worry, they’ll still find a way to blame Trump. But independents won’t fall for the BS. Democrats and the woke right will follow suit, but not reasonable independents who can see through the nonsense. I predicted this would be done before June 14th. Lots of people pushed back. Obviously, it’s not done yet, and anything can happen, especially when dealing with Iran, but if the President pulls this off, the news outlets, pundits, and influencers will move on to the next issue after they’re done crying nonstop. The greatest 60 days of positive distractions are around the corner. President Trump’s birthday: June 14th US 250 year anniversary: July 4th World Cup: June 11th to July 19th The world will move on, and the President can focus on driving results toward the midterms, Cuba, affordability and other issues. Love him or hate him, he continues to show how fluid his mind is and that he can change his approach depending on whether things do or don’t go his way. Future Looks Bright.

@JohnCleese If that is your understanding of Islam and Muslims, you're more than old fashioned – you're a dinosaur.

Perhaps some British don't like the Muslims who say they are going to take over Britain Apparently people who don't like that are 'far' right But it sounds pretty sensible to me I don't want British values to be replaced by child marriage, clitoral surgery, beating wives and stoning adulteresses Call me old-fashioned...

@BettinaSRoss1 Wasn't Reform already in power in Kent?

So what happens when Reform take over your local council? This. #KentCountyCouncil

@RealGeorgeFree @AustralianJA @SenatorWong Indeed, the money poured into Israel's terrorist activities is of major concern.

@AustralianJA @SenatorWong Terrorists against Israel deserve what they get. Penny has always supported and funded terrorists. What a loser.

Penny Wong seems to relish in attacking Israel. So she jumps straight onto the Ben Gvir issue BUT fails to mention his behaviour being strongly condemned immediately by Israel's PM & FM. Why the major critical ommission @SenatorWong ?

@ZionistFedAus No problem with him before now, though? How so? He's been doing things like this his whole miserable life.

The Zionist Federation of Australia condemns the inflammatory and disgraceful behaviour displayed by Israeli Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir in relation to the detained Gaza flotilla activists. Minister Ben-Gvir’s behaviour falls far below the standards expected of a Minister of the State of Israel. He has repeatedly embarrassed Israel through extremist rhetoric and performative conduct that undermines Israel’s international standing and weakens confidence in its leadership. We join the Israeli Prime Minister and Foreign Minister in condemning his actions. A person with this record of behaviour should not serve in the Israeli Government. Criticism of Minister Ben-Gvir is not a defence of the flotilla. The flotilla was a deliberate provocation that sought to generate confrontation rather than contribute constructively to humanitarian outcomes. Israel was within its rights to prevent attempts to breach the maritime blockade of Gaza by a flotilla involving individuals sanctioned by the United States over alleged Hamas links and backed by organisations alleged to be operating on Hamas’ behalf. ZFA President Jeremy Leibler said Minister Ben-Gvir does not represent mainstream Israeli society nor the views of the overwhelming majority of the Australian Jewish community. “Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Foreign Minister Gideon Saar were absolutely right to publicly condemn this behaviour. When Israel’s own senior leaders describe conduct as unacceptable and disgraceful, it demonstrates just how far outside acceptable standards it was,” Mr Leibler said. “Minister Ben-Gvir’s behaviour handed Israel’s critics exactly the imagery and narrative they were seeking, while doing nothing to advance Israel’s security or diplomatic interests.” ZFA CEO Alon Cassuto said supporters of Israel should be prepared to speak honestly when Israeli public figures damage the country’s reputation and national interests. “Supporting Israel does not require defending every action of every minister,” Mr Cassuto said.

@intercraneguy @JoshA11an @SkyNews @adamparsons A blockade of this nature is illegal. By the way, where is the bit in the text you've posted that says "you'll be denied all legal rights and tortured for fun"?

@JoshA11an @SkyNews @adamparsons What do you think a blockade is

Israel's national security minister sparked backlash at home and abroad after posting videos showing him taunting detained Gaza flotilla activists, prompting a public rebuke from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Sky's @AdamParsons reports ⬇️ Read more: trib.al/o1nXpAo
