Paramedic call: Patient- I’ve had two strokes in the last few years. Now they say I have heart problems. My chest and back have been hurting bad for the last two days. Me/paramedic- I’m sorry. My partner is going to put some stickers on you so I can look at an EKG. Hold still for a moment. ( patient is having a heart attack, under 40 years old) Patient- whats it say? Paramedic/me- you have elevation in multiple leads which is indicative of a heart attack. Im going to start treatment and call the hospital to have them get the cath lab ready for our arrival, so they can quickly take care of you. Patient- (obviously worried) thank you. I know this is from Covid. I had my first stroke after I got Covid. Paramedic/me- I’m so sorry. Did you get vaccinated for Covid? Patient- yes. I’m up to date on all my vaccines. Me- did you have your first stroke before or after you took the Covid vaccine? Patient- after ….Silence…. __________________ This person, like many I’ve seen, seem to completely believe their illness is from “long covid.” Even after their illness obviously started post vax. Of course I don’t argue with them, but I really hope me just bringing up the vaccine timeline plants a seed. God bless

@hattonmark40 @WindsorDebs @uksciencechief @GOVUK @POTUS What I have noticed is that we aren’t getting clear skies when we have high pressure. That is not normal. Fog is but not overcast skies. Remember March 2020. No one could fly. High pressure meant blue skies. Low pressure brings clouds and rain and wind.

Our whole weekend’s weather deliberately destroyed by yesterday’s spraying and overnight frequencies. NOBODY was asked if they wanted the sun to be blocked. NOBODY has the right to do it! @uksciencechief @GOVUK @POTUS

@JohnDOh1001 @sharrond62 I think female sport should exclude males for safety, opportunity, dignity etc. No issue with an open category where men and women can choose to compete together. We do need safe guards too in contact sports to ensure girls aren’t coerced and harmed.

@RowdyKate2 @sharrond62 To follow up, you weren’t denying my daughter sporting opportunities; sex segregated sport was a barrier to opportunities for her. The history of segregation isn’t pretty. I would think long and hard about the consequences of going down that road.

I can give you over a 1000 examples of males stealing women & girls opportunities in sport… where are the men losing their sporting places to females? The whole point is this only goes one way. Because biologically we are different & it matters hugely in sport, at ALL levels.

🛑 He stood up when it mattered, now he stands alone behind bars💔 Dr Reiner Fuellmich lost his freedom, career, assets, and livelihood while pursuing legal accountability in matters of public interest. His continued incarceration on unresolved allegations raises serious questions of due process, proportionality, and fairness. Support is not just about one man, it is about the integrity of law, the right to challenge power, and the protection of those who speak out. Stand for justice. Write, support, share, and demand lawful review and release of Dr Reiner @IcicLaw @ABridgen @RobertKennedyJr @Togetherdec #FreeReinerFuellmichNow #ReleaseReinerNow #JusticeNow #DueProcess #RuleOfLaw

My sister was in a room in a taxi office in Birmingham where she helped out on the phones. She was drugged and given alcohol. Seven taxi monsters gang-raped her one by one, then zipped up their trousers and left to pick up people in their taxis. My sister passed away at 48, still unheard, with no justice and never able to tell her story. 💔 This is still happening today. My sister's rape was in the 1990s; she was 16. Just imagine how bad things are now. We can’t let this slip back under the carpet just because it doesn’t fit some people’s political views. It doesn’t matter which party you support; every voice should be heard. If you don’t agree, then you truly are soulless. Read it, 👇 this could be one of your children next @RestoreBritain_

@JohnDOh1001 @sharrond62 I don’t have a problem with your daughter choosing to play sport with boys. Women’s sport is improving all the time as more girls are able to enjoy and compete in female only sport making the category stronger. As a rugby player I would not have wanted to compete against boys.

@RowdyKate2 @sharrond62 It’s my daughter’s choice. She mostly competes against superior athletes because she wants to improve. When she was young, I fought on her behalf so she could have access to sport for boys. In those cases, sex segregated sport denied her equal opportunity to compete.

@32a80064 @SandyofSuffolk They paid into the pension system that they were told they would receive. I don’t know many people my mums age who didn’t work at all. But as ever the mum would generally clean, cook, sew, garden while also taking care of children and often working in lower paid roles.

@SandyofSuffolk Current pensioners on average had less than 2 children. If one parent spent a full lifetime staying home with children who were under school age a half dozen years, that's effectively a leisure activity. Why should young parents who need both mom and dad to work subsidize that?

Younger generation to pensioners: "Why didn't you save more into a private pension?" Because most women stayed at home to look after your mums and dads and so didn't earn anything, let alone save anything. And your granddads were struggling to pay the 14% mortgage rates. And any 'pin' money your nans earned from little part time jobs was spent spoiling you on days out at the seaside, birthdays and Christmas and slipping your mum and dad a few quid on the sly when they were a bit hard up. Just so you know.

@JohnDOh1001 @sharrond62 It isn’t about fear. It is about enjoyment, safety and, for some, opportunity for fair competition. Your wife and daughter would be no less than they are if they choose to complete or play with other women rather than boys or men.

@RowdyKate2 @sharrond62 I’m extremely proud of my daughter. She isn’t afraid to compete against anyone. She wants to improve and will take on any challenge. My wife was the same. I always supported her in her endeavours. I treated her as an equal; she never asked for less.

@RowdyKate2 @sharrond62 If you require special treatment, don’t demand and expect equality in competition. That means women’s sport is inferior, doesn’t deserve equal prize money and doesn’t belong in the Olympics.

@RowdyKate2 @sharrond62 “Women’s elite sport” is a contradiction in terms. Elite sport, by definition, doesn’t require segregation to promote a desired result. If you need to exclude better athletes to ensure women win, then you have second tier sport at best. Give women equal opportunity to compete.

@GoodLawProject No child should ever be defined like this. Be individual and learn to love and respect the body you have. Adults can help this or can do harm by lying to children. You are part of the lie.

n 2004, a journalist named Asieh Amini came across a story from a small town in northern Iran. A 16-year-old girl named Atefeh Sahaaleh had been publicly hanged. The official charge: "acts incompatible with chastity." The reality, which Amini uncovered through careful, dangerous investigation: Atefeh had been repeatedly raped by a neighbor and other men beginning when she was nine years old. She had been neglected by her family and paid to keep silent — money she used simply to survive. At 13, Iran's morality police arrested her. A judge sentenced her to one hundred lashes. Under Iranian law, a woman could be sentenced to lashings three times — the fourth offense carried the death penalty. She was 16 when they hanged her. Amini wrote the story. Her newspaper refused to publish it. Another paper refused as well. A women's publication finally agreed to run an edited version. She kept going. Born in 1973 in the Mazandaran province of northern Iran — one of four sisters who spent their childhood painting, reading, and playing outdoors — Amini had built her career as a journalist through the brief flowering of press freedom following President Khatami's election in 1997, editing a women's affairs newspaper called Zan until hardline clerics shut it down in 1999. She had known the Iranian state's capacity for silencing voices. She had not yet known the full depth of what it was capable of doing to girls. After Atefeh, she knew. Case after case began reaching her. Leyla — a 19-year-old with diminished mental capacity, herself a victim of child rape, facing execution. The judge in her case told Amini plainly that Leyla was a threat to family life because of her "sexual availability." Amini enlisted human rights lawyer Shadi Sadr, published Leyla's story, drew international attention, and helped get her out of prison and into the care of a women's organization in Tehran. One life at a time. One story at a time. Against a legal system that had no interest in being exposed. In 2006, Amini discovered that despite a government moratorium on stoning — a directive issued in 2002 that carried no binding legal force — a man and woman had been stoned to death in Mashhad for adultery. The judge claimed he answered only to Sharia law. The Ministry of Justice denied the stoning had happened. State media attacked Amini's credibility. That October, Amini and Sadr co-founded the Stop Stoning Forever (SSF) campaign — systematically documenting stonings occurring across Iran and sharing their findings through colleagues abroad who could publish without fear of arrest. The state took notice. In March 2007, Amini was among 33 women arrested during a silent sit-in at a Tehran courthouse. During interrogation she realized — with the specific clarity of someone who had been investigating surveillance — that the police had been investigating her for some time. She was released after five days. Her phones, she was certain, were tapped. Her movements tracked. She kept reporting. The sustained pressure of the work eventually took its physical toll — stress-induced symptoms that included headaches, vision problems, and muscle paralysis forced her to step back briefly while her partners reorganized the campaign from outside Iran. She recovered. She continued. In 2009, following the disputed reelection of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Amini was among the demonstrators beaten in the protests that swept Iran. She continued reporting — under pseudonyms, in the chaos. Then came the warning: police were questioning prisoners about her. She needed to leave. She had been invited to a poetry festival in Sweden. She took her daughter Ava and she went. They did not come back. Amini settled eventually in Norway, supported by the International Cities of Refuge Network — a program that protects writers facing state persecution. From exile, she continued her advocacy, published two books of Norwegian-language poetry, and kept doing what she had always done: making sure that the stories of girls and women the Iranian state wanted silenced were heard by the world instead. She was awarded the Human Rights Watch Hellmann/Hammett Award in 2009 — the same year she fled. The Oxfam Novib/PEN Award in 2012. The Ord i Grenseland prize in 2014. Asieh Amini picked up a pen in a country that punished women for existing outside the law's narrow definitions — and she used it, at enormous personal cost, to push against every wall that pen could reach. The girl from Mazandaran who dreamed of becoming a painter and writer became something rarer and harder: A witness who refused to look away. And a voice that — no matter how many times the state tried to silence it — kept finding new ways to be heard.

@JohnDOh1001 @sharrond62 What utter nonsense. Women’s elite sport is exactly that. Sure men might be physically stronger and have different muscles types, skeletons etc but to say women can not be elite is really pathetic and ridiculous. Almost like you’re a troll!

@RowdyKate2 @sharrond62 I’m not saying you can’t choose to have segregated sport but that choice means it isn’t elite sport; it’s a competition between mediocre athletes. It doesn’t belong in the Olympics or in prime time.

@JohnDOh1001 @sharrond62 If we have one competition then men win in almost all sport and if women compete they can get serious injury. Since half of the population are women it is hardly a DEI situation to separate the sexes to allow females to have fair and sacred sport. Your point makes little sense.

@sharrond62 Women don’t need segregated sports to have equal opportunities. Women want segregated sports so they can have equality in outcomes. That’s the ultimate DEI demand. People who believe in competition and equal opportunity reject that approach.
