So there you have it @HaringeyGreens photoshopping and artificially altering photographs to appear more diverse. Why did you do this - it’s so clear the guy in Green T-shirt at front is not there!
So @grok thinks @HaringeyGreens pic is real whereas Google AI agrees with me that the man in Green T-shirt has been added - who do you think is right ?

‘It is obscene this tribunal was necessary…Despite being told by their employer to shut up… 26 Darlington nurses signed a letter complaining that having a male in their changing room made them feel violated and uncomfortable’

Really very chuffed and honoured to be shortlisted in the British Journalism Awards for comment writing, alongside colleagues including Rod Liddle, @matthewsyed and @FraserNelson

It is not a coincidence that Holocaust denial comes hand in hand with Genocide libel. Both are rooted in Jew hate and a need to invert victim and perpetrator to find the Jew guilty.
This man was a professor at the University of Nevada for years. Astounding.

India Willoughby filming a brag video inside a Bangkok Boots store because you can buy Progynova over the counter over there without a prescription.
The law limits bringing in over-the-counter or imported prescription meds for personal use to a 3-month supply max, yet here we have activists filming content bragging about bypassing proper medical oversight.
Rules, medical checks, and regulations are there for a reason, but activists think they're above the law whenever it suits them.

The vile comments on this post offer a snapshot of what Jewish people face daily. I’m not Jewish, but I’ve had a torrent of abuse since calling out antisemitism in schools. It’s not acceptable and these people are gross.

Imagine being a professional journalist and behaving like this because you now think it's your job to favour one side in a current debate. Shameful

Remember when Nicola Sturgeon promised in her resignation speech that it was a national mission “to improve the life chances of care-experienced young people and ensure that they grow up nurtured and loved.” And she added:
“My commitment to these young people will be lifelong.”
Do you think she checks in with her successor John Swinney on how the ‘national mission’ is progressing? It’s the very least she could do.
And what has she done in the last 3 years to show her ‘lifelong’ commitment to care-experienced young Scots, now that she is living in London, writing thrillers?
Unless of course her promise on 15 February 2023 was yet another performative gesture. Which of course it was not because surely even Sturgeon is not that cynical.
“Knock 10 shades of s**t out her.” These are the reported words of a children's worker who has now been struck off.
We talk about safeguarding. We talk about children's rights. We talk about The Promise.
So why the hell do we still have workers like this in our children's services?
Children in care deserve better. Full stop.

Ashok Kumar accused of bullying female academic.
Mr Kumar & a group of other wealthy Oxford Phd students went on a campaign of accusing me of racism over ten years ago he had never met me but decided I was racist based on 2 articles I had written in the Guardian (you can still read them & judge for yourself). They ridiculed me bullied me on line for several years because of my class & that I was white & had a mixed race son referring to me as 'Becky' & because I had grown up on a council estate they laughed about me being rough, sexually promiscuous (Becky) & stupid all the white working class girl stereotypes. It is of no surprise that this man is now bullying a Jewish woman on television & is in fact responsible for the Greens racist turn.

Oh! It's liking having the actual BBC back. The interview with Professor Sallie Baxendale starts at 19.40. She is asked sensible questions, in a normal way. Thank-you @BBCRadio4.
Good work from BBC here - interview with Professor Sallie Baxendale about being hounded by TRAs for doin science.
Shame wasn't longer.
Inside Science and More or Less are still decent

“At almost £30 per child, ministers must explain whether this scheme represents the best value for taxpayers and assure teachers and parents that money could not be better spent elsewhere in our education system.
“This adds up to £750 for a class of 25 pupils — money that could otherwise help fund much needed additional resources and support for children in the classroom”

Astonished yesterday that the SNP is pressing on with expensive free school bags. Maybe they should look at waiting times for Speech and Language therapy instead. 2 years in @JohnSwinney ‘s constituency. Much greater impact for children’s attainment.

Duane complains about people not wanting her in parliament because of her race, nonsense
He however complained of "border crossing careerist" politicians from other parties himself
It's only okay when he does it apparently
One of the worst hypocrites in our parliament

masked men made Nazi salutes and shouted “Heil Hitler” at her during a protest in Glasgow.
