In light of recent news about whatever happened with "Star Trek", this ever-green parable comes to mind.

@LozzaFox The “get me a female officer” at the end is just the icing on the cake 😂😂 Why would you want that sir??

Whoever thinks it’s a good idea to pump women full of testosterone should watch this.

@Sachinettiyil @michaeljknowles Uh oh! Better get Stella Creasy on the case!

Mexican Catholic actor Eduardo Verástegui has urged Catholics to pray outside a hospital in Barcelona, where Noelia Castillo Ramos, a Spanish woman who became paraplegic after attempting suicide following sexual assaults, is scheduled to be euthanized on March 26.

@Telegraph Have they thought about bulldozing their own homes and returning them to nature or farming?

@Steven_Swinford WhatsApp can very definitely be retrieved!

Exclusive: Police did not investigate the theft of Morgan McSweeney’s phone because officers were “too busy”, despite the sensitivity of his messages and contacts Sir Keir Starmer’s former chief of staff told the Metropolitan police that his phone was stolen as he returned home from a restaurant in central London on October 20 last year The theft of the work device means that McSweeney’s WhatsApp messages and texts to Lord Mandelson, the former ambassador to the US, cannot be retrieved. It has led critics to question whether the phone was stolen The State of It, the political podcast from The Times and The Sunday Times, can disclose that McSweeney told police the phone was taken by a man wearing a balaclava on an electric bike. The man grabbed it out of his hand as McSweeney was responding to text messages and cycled off. McSweeney gave chase but was unable to keep up Scotland Yard has a record of the incident but did not carry out any formal investigation. Officers did not speak to McSweeney directly because they were too busy. He was given a crime reference number and the case was closed McSweeney reported the theft of his phone to No 10 and the device was shut off remotely. He was given a new device with the same number the next day. The theft of the phone was first reported by The Sun on Sunday thetimes.com/uk/politics/ar…

@VB_tins 😂👏👏👏👏

Bahamas to Australia via the Sun? That's gonna take longer than three weeks.

@peterrhague True, but vets charge an insane markup for generic stuff you can buy on Amazon. It’s a genuine racket.

I always used “NHS for cats” as a joke. Apparently they use it as a serious policy

@RobertJenrick I don’t think the headmaster can be blamed here. He knew what would happen to him and he was right. And the state wouldn’t support him or the school even slightly.

Five years ago today, a teacher from Batley Grammar showed a class a caricature of the Prophet Mohammed. Within days, a hundred Islamists were protesting outside the school gates. Outrageously, the teacher was suspended. The headteacher, Gary Kibble, apologised ‘unequivocally’. It was an astonishing act of appeasement and cowardice. The teacher was then subjected to a campaign of abuse and intimidation, including incitement to violence against him and his family. His kids had to miss school for months. They slept on mattresses in temporary accommodation. An independent probe later cleared him of any wrongdoing whatsoever. Another report likewise found that the school, council and police all ‘totally and utterly failed’ him. Too late - his life was changed forever. Have lessons been learnt from this shameful episode? I fear exactly the same thing would happen today. In fact ‘advice’ has recently been reissued by Labour councils including the one covering Batley, that children’s drawings in art lessons may be seen as ‘idolatrous’ under sharia law. Teachers are even warned that dance lessons could cause parental concerns over ‘physical contact between males and females’. Extremism is being mainstreamed. A climate of threatening and intimidatory harassment is poisoning our institutions. It's antithetical to our democratic way of life. Most of our governing class are simply too spineless to take on Islamists. Look at when I highlighted the chronic failure of integration in parts of Birmingham. I was denounced. And then proven right by West Midlands Police’s admission that violent Islamists living couldn’t be prevented from attacking Jewish football fans. The Police lied and blamed the visiting supporters in an effort to pretend they still had authority in the city. And now look at the reaction of the Prime Minister and much of the media to criticisms of a segregated Iftar in Trafalgar Square. They branded critics racist too. This was despite the Prime Minister himself pulling out of an Iftar in 2021 organised by the very same man, Omar Salha, who arranged this one, apparently because of his Islamist links. We’ve been led by weak hypocrites, who cover up, rather than confront what’s happening. The country is sliding down a dark path as a result. But innocent men and women like the Batley teacher are the greatest victims of extremism, and too many seem intent to forget them. We must defend them and stand up for all those who speak out.

There is a simple solution to every problem

Which ones are the assailants? Wouldn’t want there to be any confusion.

@stellacreasy Please for the love of god just take the L

Buffer zones don't ban prayer. They uphold the privacy of women having an abortion. If prayer was banned in public then no one could do it. Those getting upset about iftars in public seem to want to agree there's a 'time and place' for everything. Hyperbole and hypocrisy do not for reasoned debate make.

What - he’s going to put Ed Miliband in charge of it?

@AjaTheEmpress @DailyMail Outrage yes, but no particular surprise.

@DailyMail India is a vile abusive man.

@nikicaga And you’d have enormous hulking great big sons

I get that GRRM had to make Brienne's backstory extra sad, but non-landed knights all over Westeros have to be morons to not desperately try to marry her Oh your wife is kinda ugly? Who cares dude, she's the only heir to a beautiful island the size of the Netherlands

@SenWarren Can you be sure they weren’t red Indians?

Pay attention to Lebanon. Trump and Netanyahu started a regional war in the Middle East, creating a humanitarian disaster. And now, the Israeli army has killed over 1,000 people in Lebanon—about 20% of them are kids. Congress should not bankroll this escalating war of choice.
