Sam Smith is calling for problematic language to be PHASED OUT and for everyone to use more inclusive language like 'egg producers' instead of women.
Sam explains: 'Lots of people can produce eggs. Men can, non binary people can, and I believe women can to in some instances. So we need to broaden it out and get rid of the binary for inclusivity' he lamented

@choirgirl181 @BradfemlyWalsh Like most services they can be frustrating but the NHS is mostly great as its care.
Its management can be frustrating though.

@BradfemlyWalsh Also I’m in the US so I don’t really understand how the NHS works, but from the little bit I’ve seen here on twitter it’s super frustrating and difficult to get good care

@toadmeister The BBC should exit news and focus on drama, entertainment and science and technology documentaries.
English

You used your platform on the BBC to spread lies about my news publishing company, falsely claiming it was funded by the oil and gas industry. You're also a propagandist for radical progressive ideology. You're part of the problem. If you want to save the BBC, start by resigning.

Let’s have an honest, tough conversation.
I’m Muslim, I’ll never renounce it, and I need to be better.
That said, we need to rethink some practices.
In the west, the loud, public calls to prayer five times a day, praying in large groups that block streets, disrupting traffic, and inconveniencing others needs to stop.
We’re not doing ourselves or our non-Muslim neighbors any favors by disturbing their daily lives.
When Westerners visit Muslim-majority countries, they generally show respect.
They follow local customs.
Women cover up, men act with honor, and they don’t demand that these nations change their laws, build churches or synagogues, or take in more Western immigrants.
Muslim countries enforce strict cultural and religious norms, and visitors comply.
Everyone coexists peacefully.
Why can’t we show the same respect in America and western countries?
Let’s be real: this is a Christian-majority country.
Muslims make up 1-2% of the population.
We’re a minority, and in many ways, we’re guests here.
I don’t see Christians or Jews going to Muslim countries demanding special accommodations or disrupting local customs.
If they’re allowed to practice their faith (and pagans often aren’t), they might pay a jizya tax for the privilege, which also exempts them from military service.
Non-compliance could mean jail, deportation, or worse.
I know the counterarguments: “America has freedom of religion!” or “There’s separation of church and state!”
But let’s clarify something.
The phrase “separation of church and state” comes from Thomas Jefferson’s 1802 letter to the Danbury Baptist Association.
It refers to a wall protecting religious freedom from government interference and preventing the state from controlling churches. It’s not a blank check to practice our faith in ways that disrupt others.
We don’t need to “assert dominance” with mass public prayers in symbolic Western locations.
That’s not faith...it’s provocation, and it disrespects our host nation.
Muslim-majority countries would never tolerate similar behavior from non-Muslims.
Why should we expect different standards here?
Let’s show the same respect we’re shown abroad.
Let’s practice our faith humbly, integrate thoughtfully, and live as good neighbors.
That’s how we honor Islam and earn respect in return.
If you want to openly hear the call to prayer 5x a day, there's plenty of safe, clean, and beautiful Muslim countries you can visit or even move to (these countries love western expats).
Agree or disagree? Comment below.
Would like to have a good discussion on this.

Rest in peace, Patricia Routledge 🙏🏻
In memory of her, I encourage everyone to read these words of hers from February last year.
Whether young or old, you're bound to get something out of it.
*****
"I’ll be turning 95 this coming Monday. In my younger years, I was often filled with worry — worry that I wasn’t quite good enough, that no one would cast me again, that I wouldn’t live up to my mother’s hopes. But these days begin in peace, and end in gratitude.
My life didn’t quite take shape until my forties. I had worked steadily — on provincial stages, in radio plays, in West End productions — but I often felt adrift, as though I was searching for a home within myself that I hadn’t quite found.
At 50, I accepted a television role that many would later associate me with — Hyacinth Bucket, of Keeping Up Appearances. I thought it would be a small part in a little series. I never imagined that it would take me into people’s living rooms and hearts around the world. And truthfully, that role taught me to accept my own quirks. It healed something in me.
At 60, I began learning Italian — not for work, but so I could sing opera in its native language. I also learned how to live alone without feeling lonely. I read poetry aloud each evening, not to perfect my diction, but to quiet my soul.
At 70, I returned to the Shakespearean stage — something I once believed I had aged out of. But this time, I had nothing to prove. I stood on those boards with stillness, and audiences felt that. I was no longer performing. I was simply being.
At 80, I took up watercolour painting. I painted flowers from my garden, old hats from my youth, and faces I remembered from the London Underground. Each painting was a quiet memory made visible.
Now, at 95, I write letters by hand. I’m learning to bake rye bread. I still breathe deeply every morning. I still adore laughter — though I no longer try to make anyone laugh. I love the quiet more than ever.
I’m writing this to tell you something simple:
Growing older is not the closing act. It can be the most exquisite chapter — if you let yourself bloom again.
Let these years ahead be your TREASURE YEARS.
You don’t need to be famous. You don’t need to be flawless.
You only need to show up — fully — for the life that is still yours.
With love and gentleness,
Patricia Routledge

Once more, rest in peace. 🤍

@HeidiBachram @metpoliceuk And yet police are still allowing them to protest in Manchester - of all places- tonight! 😢🤬
English

Pro-Pals took over the streets of central London last night. Set off fireworks in the busiest parts. Chanted for Israel’s destruction. And I don’t see a single police officer. So do racist thugs run our capital now? It’s like a nightmare dystopia. @metpoliceuk

For almost two years, the world has seen Gaza only through the news. But very few have actually gone inside. I chose to go — to see it with my own eyes and to meet the people living there.
What I witnessed is not the story being told on your screens. The suffering is real, but Hamas is the one responsible. They hold their own people hostage, steal the aid meant for them, use families as shields, and spread lies to the world.
I met women who were brave enough to tell the TRUTH and children who are deserving of a different future.
We cannot forget the remaining 48 hostages still held captive. And lastly, we cannot forget that Hamas has the power to end this all right now.

Afghanistan to start stoning women to death for ‘adultery.’
The Supreme Leader of the Afghan Taliban Hibatullah Akhundzada says Afghanistan will begin stoning women to death for adultery in accordance with Sharia law.
If any woman is suspected of having relations with a man before marriage they will be taken to holes in the desert and crowds will throw stones at them until they die.
