"There are no white knights coming to save us." - Rachel Stewart @stew_rachel Rachel Stewart argues that hope can sometimes become a substitute for action, leaving people waiting for institutions, politicians or someone else to solve society's problems. Have we become too reliant on others to fix the issues we care about, instead of taking responsibility ourselves? 🎥 Watch here: rcr.media/episodes/riding-sh…

That's a bugger. She's overseen the death of the word 'mother' and 'breastfeeding'. Not a friend of biological women, despite knowing what one is.
We are immensely proud to announce that Alison Eddy (CEO NZ College of Midwives) has been elected as the incoming President of the International Confederation of Midwives (ICM), at the ICM Council meeting in Lisbon, Portugal.

The way this moron is going he won't be far behind them.
Gut wrenching to see four young people jailed for direct action against an arms supplier to Israel. Years in prison for protesting to save lives in Gaza, with 'terrorism' used despite no jury convicting them of it. A truly dangerous attack on the right to protest.

"Black people wanted to, you know, make their point and they did. But if white people want to make their point, yeah, we're just redneck racist bigots, that it's right-wing and we're Nazis and all the rest of it." - Rachel Stewart @stew_rachel Are some protests judged differently depending on who is protesting and what cause they support? 🎥 Watch here: rcr.media/episodes/both-barr…

This tweet from last year is suddenly getting lots of eyeballs, following the conviction of the two Bulgarians in the Axe Girl of Dundee incident. Here is my question to middle aged libs: are we going to defend — in word, deed, and spirit — our own children, or are we not?
Replying to @stew_rachel
@Docstockk I have agreed with you on many things, incl. some of your points in @unherd -- but not this. You take the piss out of a person you want to take down, not a person in distress. Personal knowledge of Dundee is irrelevant to that point. With respect, Jenny

Encountered? We positively ran into each other head first. Prick of a man.
Anyone who encountered John on Twitter in earlier days will not be surprised by this. nzherald.co.nz/business/uks-…

"So those guidelines are such that you must treat people on the basis of their skin colour." - Rachel Stewart Rachel Stewart questions whether modern policing policies are strengthening or weakening public confidence in equal treatment before the law. Should public institutions be completely colour-blind, or should they take race and background into account when making decisions?

"And yet in the middle of 2020, you saw worldwide riots." - Maree Buscke @MacBuscke Maree Buscke contrasts the global reaction to the 2020 BLM riots with the response to unrest following the murder of Henry Nowak in Southampton. Why do you think some protests are described as a fight for justice while others are condemned as extremism? 🎥 Watch here: rcr.media/episodes/both-barr…

Get the skinny from Belfast local @SemperFemina21 about the real feelings of the real residents who live with the reality of out of control migration every day. Plus anyone who reports from her car with her dog on the back seat is cool. youtube.com/watch?v=3q8hCsfO…

Late this afternoon, I went to the street corner Q&A held by Reuben Davidson, Labour MP for Christchurch East, as part of his election campaigning. I asked him what is a woman. He was clearly ready for it, and dodged it with a slick answer - i.e. that it is someone the current government pays less than a man (in reference to the changes to pay equity). Sounds like they’ve been prepped for this question. When the bill to define women and men in law was raised, he trotted out all the standard ‘reasons’ we hear ad infinitum - divisive, marginalised, intersex, and trans. When I asked for an explanation, none was well articulated, but instead he did a smooth segue into ‘more important things’, and disagreed that on that basis it was strange there weren’t ‘more important things’ when letting men into women’s spaces was being ushered in. To be fair, I think that Reuben is quite a good MP for Christchurch East in general, but he’s no friend to women who want women’s spaces, and the word ‘woman’, back. I asked if I could video our engagement, but he said he preferred not, because of the other people there who might get into the video, so I respected that.

Basically, don't lose your head. And kill the stabby bastard while you're at it.

It's all kicking off in the UK right now. An attempted beheading and eye-gouging on a residental street by an illegal migrant on a native citizen tends to that. When will the politicians listen to the people rather than calling them "right-wing"? youtube.com/watch?v=F0yY1NtQ…
