@AliJaneMoore This is my favourite part

@JustRowena I think there are significant queries whether it was really in the public interest.

@JustRowena I agree. I differ from some in that I think, once the case came to trial, a conviction was appropriate based on the laws that we currently have. Laws need to be applied evenly, regardless of unpalatable outcomes. I am dubious of the CPS approving the decision to prosecute though

@HeidiBachram I’m so so sorry. And I’m sorry for the shocking antisemitism on display that means you can’t even speak about such cruelties without people sneering at you further. None of this is ok.

We found out today that Hamas livestreamed holding my husband’s relatives prisoner after they had murdered their 18 year old daughter. They filmed the family’s fear and terror. The shock and grief. And they broadcast it. I don’t know how to comprehend this.

@apsmunro Congratulations!!

Very pleased to have passed my PhD viva today with minor corrections 🥳 Very sharp examiners and fascinating discussions about the pandemic! Hugely indebted to the amazing people who helped me along the way #PhDone

@CheekyClackers …if consequences fell more on one group than another eg women, those with disabilities etc. but I suspect not likely. Agree it’s wrong though.

@CheekyClackers Not a lawyer, but know my way around the equality act to a reasonable standard. Likely not illegal. Having a medical degree is not a protected characteristic- in order to be discriminatory something has to correspond to a PC. Perhaps could constitute indirect discrimination…

Surely illegal? Can anyone with a legal brain answer as to why this is allowed? It’s basically stopping doctors from improving their lives. They are qualified for the role - we all know that so what’s the legal reasons?

@DavidPGCSE What do we want? Banning syrup of ipecac!!! When do we want it? Now!

If you're sealioning it's very important to make sure you aren't spelling important words wrong

@JustRowena I was about to make a sarcastic reply about how Jewish people are of course renowned for never ever ever being persecuted, but given how spiky people are, I won’t risk an outrage QT, and I’ll simply say this dude is an idiot.

Zevon the meerkat is ready for HallZooween, are you?! HallZOOween kicks off this Saturday! Trick or treat around the Zoo, watch animals enjoy pumpkin enrichment, catch an Illusion show and much more! ow.ly/ieXb50PVcGV (Presented by GECU)

@LozzaFox Sure. I was treated very differently to how a man was… bbc.com/news/uk-englan…

Funny how men are treated differently from women in employment. Any examples anyone has of this, please feel free to send through. GB news particularly. Much appreciated. 🙏

The comments in this case are atrocious: “She had a history of ‘neglecting herself’” “there were ‘signs’ that the girl had been putting herself into ‘sexually exploitable positions’, adding the girl has been ‘watching porn since the age of eight’.” APPALLING victim blaming.

@22_Lex_kate Having gone through it myself, I would never think any less of someone who couldn’t/wouldn’t. It’s a brutal process, so corrosive. It should not be up to individuals to sue employers to get this stuff fixed. It’s appalling that it is.

@justaduck145 It felt like a betrayal. I did not have the time or the energy to take my employer to court. I was too busy trying to survive.

It’s not easy to take your employers to court at the best of times, especially not when you’re looking after a newborn who almost died, and are crippled with PTSD Things ain’t always as black and white as you might think.

@22_Lex_kate @Darren8319 @Queenie_2312 @LozzaFox Can very much confirm. Can also confirm how incredibly difficult it is to report harassment, how even if you do, your employer is likely to harm you further (I lost my career) and how difficult & arduous the tribunal process is.

@Darren8319 @Queenie_2312 @LozzaFox It is illegal. You think that stops them? Sexual assault and harassment is also illegal, but y’all still do it dude.

@RobFreudenthal I had no idea. That’s fascinating. You’re right, there should be more reporting on this.

Ismail Haniyeh, head of Hamas, is an extraordinary figure He is worth >$2 million dollars, made out of extracting wealth from Gazans via border taxation (he is v happy to work with Israeli govt when it comes to border profiteering), and lives in luxury in Qatar
