Click on the image to read the whole poem. The experience this was based on was in the 1970s - before women could ask for female only medical care. I'd like to think it wouldn't happen now.
As @nicoleepeggiee’s girlfriend, I can confirm Sandie and her family have been welcoming, supportive and accepting of our 4 year relationship
Starmer must have amnesia.
It’s almost 60 years since England won the World Cup. I’m never complacent about anything…but there should be a celebratory bank holiday if the Lionesses bring it home.
Since COVID, billionaire wealth has doubled. Meanwhile our public services continue to shatter. Great to see economists joining in with a long standing green party policy - tax the rich.
🚨BREAKING!🚨 30+ of the world's leading economists have written a letter backing calls for a wealth tax on the super-rich. Among those backing the call are @PikettyWIL, @Jayati1609, @JoseA_Ocampo and Ha-Joon Chang. 1/2 theguardian.com/business/2025/…

Thatcher came to power in 1979 and sold off steel, railways, airways, airports and aerospace; Plus utilities, gas, electricity, telecoms and water. The process has continued to the present day, with the 2013 privatisation of the Royal Mail. Sold for a peppercorn, gone forever!
We, citizens of Israel, working in Israeli academic institutions, share civil responsibility for the horrendous acts done in our name at the Gaza Strip, in particular the contempt for human lives, the policy of starvation and the demolition of Gazan cities. We call upon all those…
Quite incredible that a young 22yo Scottish rider, Oscar Onley can finish 4th in the Tour de France, equalling the best ever finish by a Scot and yet @BBCSportScot can’t even raise a single tweet about him since the Tour started.
A weird personal phenomena is happening to me as a consequence of the genocide in Gaza. And I haven’t processed it all yet, but…. I haven’t considered myself “Christian” in a long time; I was raised Serbian Orthodox. But watching how Christian Zionists and Zionists use the…
Skegness, one of your absolute finest people right here. Buy her a drink whenever you see her.
Is there any reason why just building a fuck ton of state owned housing wouldn't fix the housing crisis?
Is it actually understood that women who don't want children still need their uterus? Is it actually understood that the uterus is part of the body, its system, its integrity? That the uterus isn't a resource, that it isn't like unmined lithium sitting in our abdomens?
“Why use airdrops when you can drive hundreds of trucks through the borders?,” UNRWA @JulietteTouma tells @nytimes. “It’s much easier, more effective, faster, cheaper.” Airdrops will not reverse the deepening starvation in #Gaza. At UNRWA, we have the equivalent of 6,000 trucks…
🚨The most unpopular PM ever, apparently is still more popular than Farage. In fact Farage is less popular than Davey and Badenoch. This is why #FarageRiots2 is so important.

Wikipedia is currently in a legal battle with the UK government to try and stop the platform being censored in the UK - or even completely blocked - thanks to the Online Safety Act.
Please be aware of this phishing scam. My friend’s credit card was maxed out yesterday.
x.com/Basil_TGMD/sta… They made it as tyranical as possible. At this point the UK is actually holding the internet of the world hostage. Anyone that complains about Chinese censorship without in the same sentance mentioning the Uk, should be laughed out of the room.
🚨BREAKING: It's been revealed that the NEW Online Safety Bill currently censoring people online can be re-written with even stricter laws at any time by a government minister. No vote required No checks either Just one person, writes to OFCOM and its done. We live in 1984
Jacob Rees-Mogg's REUL Bill comes home to roost in Keir Starmer's changed Labour Party. A year ago I wrote this about Labour's adoption of Mogg's REUL Bill which revoked +600 pieces of EU/UK laws on 31/12/2023? The 3 main areas affected were employment rights, food safety, and…
