Dear Lush (cc Chelmsford City Council), As a woman who had half a breast removed last year due to cancer, I am writing to raise my concerns about your “Proud of My Stripes” window display. I am also, on behalf of other women who have experienced breast cancer, respectfully requesting its removal. Because mastectomies are not a fashion statement, an identity marker or something to be celebrated. They are something women undergo because they are ill, because they are frightened, because they are trying to stay alive. Around 59,000 women are diagnosed with breast cancer in the UK every year. Many will undergo surgery - a mastectomy, lumpectomy or other procedure. Others choose preventive mastectomies because they carry a high-risk BRCA gene mutation. If a woman chooses to have her breasts removed to affirm a gender identity, that is her personal choice. I honestly don’t know the number of women who have elective mastectomies for this reason. What I do know is that it is a tiny number compared with those for whom breast surgery is medically necessary and not something to be celebrated. I think I speak for many women who have experienced breast cancer - and for their families - when I say this: Breast removal surgery is not something I regard as cute, playful or empowering. Nor is it something I believe retailers should be celebrating. For that reason, I am requesting that the display be removed and that @ChelmsCouncil apologise for promoting it on social media. Yours sincerely, Janet Murray

Since I raised this in Parliament, the violence has not stopped. Hindu and Sikh businesses in Wembley have been smashed up, men beaten in restaurant toilets, four men stabbed on Ealing Road. The perpetrators of the original Holi attack remain largely at large. #BritishHindus

Yes - I am hostile to Islam Because it is a set of ideas Very stupid ones If I can think and articulate why I believe communism is bullshit I can do the same with Islam Islam is a load of supernatural bullshit It is moronic, superstitious, anti-intellectual bullshit It is a load of crap consumed by twats Moreover, in the mix of stupid ideas created by some twat serial killer called Mohammed is misogyny, homophobia, racism, incitement to violence, endorsement of slavery and a blueprint for domination and the subjugation of human minds and bodies So yes - I am hostile to Islam It is an utter load of shit that keeps human beings locked into our crappest, most backwards impulses and behaviours And the proof is in the pudding Look at the fucking nutjob Muslims running around killing people, throwing bombs, cutting off heads, hanging women, killing gays There is utter poison locked into the religion and so it follows people behave despicably If you wanted to sit down and consciously design one of the shittest ideas for humanity, you wouldn’t be far off coming up with Islam

We have Muslim fatigue. The gang rapes. The special courts. The anti semitism. The hate preachers. The marches. The call to prayer. The public prayers. The complaining about christian preachers. The pauses in football games for skipping lunch. The nicabs. The school kids visiting mosques. The ramadan lights. The ramadan messages on TV and by public figures. The cruel slaughter. The hatred of the West. The inbreeding. The censorship. The two tier justice. The capture of our institutions. We're tired of it. Islam is a vile woman hating cousin marrying child rape appeasing death cult.
