Photos I took inspired by Jeff Vandermeer's 'Annihilation' novel apart of the 'Southern Reach Trilogy'.

Just so people understand what happened here: These women claimed asylum because they were likely to be tortured and killed for a gesture standing up to the regime. The regime then started kidnapping their families instead to force them to come home and face likely execution.

Remember London’s brilliant turnout to demand “stop killing Iranians” when the regime was massacring them in their tens of thousands? Yeah, neither do I…

🚨BOMBSHELL EXPOSÉ: TREVOR PHILLIPS RIPS LID OFF LABOUR'S GROOMING GANGS COVER-UP 💣 Keir Starmer and the Labour Party Sabotaging National Inquiry to Hide Racial Targeting of White Girls and Decades of Failure in Their Own Councils In a devastating intervention, Sir Trevor Phillips has blown the whistle on what he calls a deliberate political cover-up at the heart of Britain's grooming gangs scandal. The former Equality and Human Rights Commission chair accuses Labour of sabotaging the national inquiry because of its explosive racial implications — and because so much of the abuse took place under Labour-controlled councils that did nothing to stop it. “The government clearly never wanted these two things to be put together,” Phillips declared. He points to Labour's efforts to downplay “the intersection of race and sexual predation,” insisting the perpetrators deliberately targeted victims because they were white and outside the groomers' community. “These children are chosen because of their race. They are chosen because they are white and because they’re outside the community of the groomers.” Phillips highlights the chilling uniqueness of these crimes: unlike typical child abuse kept hidden, grooming gangs operate in plain sight — with perpetrators knowing they are shielded. “The other thing is these people know that they are protected. They’re protected politically, they’re protected by social workers, they’re protected by local police. That is the scandal here.” He pulls no punches on why a full reckoning has been avoided: “Much of this took place in local Labour councils and the authorities who were supposed to be watching over this, stopping it, monitoring it and all the rest of it were controlled by those councils and they did nothing.” This is not just institutional failure — it's a politically motivated shield thrown over horrific, racially aggravated sexual exploitation that went on for years under Labour's watch. Right now, they deserve justice — and Britain deserves the full, fearless national inquiry that has been denied for far too long.

.@campbellclaret. Are you perhaps not the ideal person to be making this point, Alastair??

@DavidDPaxton Probabaly because of the public perception of people that move to Dubai as insufferable infulencers, while the perception of people moving to Australia is different.

This is a bit odd. People in Dubai adhere to the tax rules of Dubai. Same as any Brit living abroad will pay tax according to the rules of that jurisdiction. So why single out Dubai? He wants to help Brits abroad so long as they pay another country more tax than Dubai?

When you support a large welfare system you should be careful with the idea on restricting services to people who aren't net contributors. Also all the UK is doing is providing flights, its not like there operating missile defence.

@LBC @EdwardJDavey @AndrewMarr9 It's honestly like they can't see it.

'We have a duty to them, and they have duty to the rest of the country to pay their taxes.' @EdwardJDavey gives @AndrewMarr9 his views on protecting Brits living in Dubai.

@linmeitalks The Talibab fled, hid and were funded by Pakistan...

Wouldn’t it be funny if Pakistan defeats the Taliban when the West couldn’t in 20 years. 😩

@wil_da_beast630 Like the idea that Christianity, where a man has 1 wife, has to care for the weak, give to charity, can only have sex with his 1 wife for his entire life and is also expected to give his life for his family and especially his 1 wife is a Male control fantasy is funny.

The language around this can sometimes get genuinely sexist and negative - but the idea that monogamous lifelong love relationships, where sex happens 1-2x weekly, women generally manage the money, and guys give up half of their/the assets if they cheat are a MALE fantasy designed to trap women is facially insane.

@yducknow It goes down hill after season 4.

In one sentence prove that you've watched Game of Thrones:

@RealDianeYap Jd Vance wife isn't wife... how can that possibly be his belief?

If you go around telling people they'll never be "truly American" because their ancestors aren't white/English, you don't get to whine when they represent other countries.

@DavidHundeyin After America defeated the Soviet Union who exactly was left?

@CoreyWriting I've been saying that for years! Season 4 was the last truly great season.

S7 does NOT deserve those ratings. This show was massively overrated after season 4. The writing flaws were evident in season 5.

@cchukudebelu I think that's a stretch, but the emergence of a party like this was obviouse since the goverment weren't taking concern about immigration seriously or the grooming gangs.

If these people rise to power, Britain will go back to the "No Dogs, Irish and N*gg*rs" era.

@femirewaju @cchukudebelu What about labour do you like so much? (Outside of their not reform or right-wing)

@cchukudebelu Super glad Rupert has a new political party, he’ll split the right wing vote with reform. Labour might ultimately remain in power

"It’s easy to look back at the uncritical acceptance of medical wrongdoing in the past and see what C.S. Lewis described as “chronological snobbery.” It seems obvious now that bloodletting and trepanning were acts of idiocy. But the widespread acceptance of “gender-affirming” medicine in our own time ought to cure us of this hubris. Perhaps the closest historical analog to the emerging scandal around gender medicine is the practice of lobotomy, a type of brain surgery that doctors performed approximately 50,000 times in the U.S., most between 1949 and 1952, with the same goal: to relieve the symptoms of mental illness."

@AgbaMan14872 @cchukudebelu They were🤣 Kamala especially, she was never popular and dropped out of the primary the first time having never got anywhere near 10% of Democrats to back her. Hillary for most Americans is the incarnation of the entrenched system people thought was screwing them.

@robbchamz @cchukudebelu They were not bad opponents. American people have always had this trait sorry.

I thought the same, after Trump's "grab them by the p*ss*" recording - but the American people elected him to high office twice. Its Americans we are talking about here - Republicans can still win, in a landslide victory.

@seraphalities Why not?
