(1/2) First they came for the trans kids, said no, you cant transistion - ok, i think people are open to debate — now they want to “screen” them for autism and ADHD, as if being neurodivergent explains away gender identity - that's a concern - remember when Gay people were told it was mental illness

2/2 Meanwhile, Farage says ADHD and autism in kids are just excuses — like parents are swinging the lead. So which is it? Do these kids exist, or are they made up? It’s not about care. It’s about control, dressed up as concern.

I meet these types every day in my line of work in Manufacturing. I hear the Innuendos all day. And they don't care. They don't see what i wrong with it, because they are toxic men.

Farmer fallacy logic that bugs me, "If I sell the farm you don't get fed" - if you sell that farm, what ever you made, would probably be absorbed by your competitors, other farmers. Farms are not all going to suddenly stop over night.

LINKEDIN is full of right wing business types hating everything right now. As a business owner for 10+ years You've really got to stop looking at these micro issues. Yes tax and wages have risen, but the fuck on with it. By winding yourself up, you're just being part of the issue.

Not sure this is an unpopular opinion - but It sounds like in certain circles i move in, Senior business leaders, recruiters, Teachers, NHS people - They all think Labour is doing a fair to alright job. And I agree. All the noise i see is far right groups trying to undermine democracy.

The numpties are getting excited by this petition demanding a general election. Like nearly 2m people. Ok, enough now, you are either being led by Russian bots - undermining our democracy (unsuccessfully) - or you're a reform voter.

This petition going round asking for a general election, is hitting like 1.3m people now. It's the dumbest thing I've seen 1.3m people do since voting for Brexit. Do you not understand how parliamentary democracy works? It's always right wing people that don't get how democracy works.

Trump won by less than 2.5 million votes Only 64% of voters turned out to vote 90 million adults didn’t vote How history changes on a whim

Trump is slipping farther and farther below 50%. He now leads by only 1.6%—and his vote advantage is under 2.5M. One of the narrower victories of the last 100 years of American politics, and any journalist or politico using the term mandate probably needs to retire from their profession immediately.

I am a massive disbeliever that libertarianism is good for a country. Low tax small state isn't good. We see people vote against their good when it comes to things like healthcare, farming, social care, and education - Far-right libertarianism is a con. Sadly people wake up when it is too late

Something I love about this place.. no thirst traps being forced on my feed like Threads. Only thirst trap I need is good debate, a beautiful star ship, and intelligent people... Oh and lots of comedy. Apply within.

We need to separate farmers, and farming from Rich landowners using land not to pay tax. a £4m diary farm is much different from a £4m land Clarkson bought. But we are led to believe its the same fucking thing.

Don't forget people, Inflation in the UK hasn't risen because of the budget, that's not kicked in yet. It's risen because the UK economy is fucked. 0.1% growth. Untilies went up, and food increased too. That's not Labours fault.

Farmers struggle to make money because their business model is broken, because of FMCG and Supermarkets making massive profits off of them. The system is broken, Clarkson etc, buy land exposing tax loops, are part of the problem for farmers. let's not demonise farmers.

Worrying noise coming out the Media over Rachel Reeves CV possible lying. Rachel Reeves, Labour MP, first female Chancellor, being accused of lying on a LinkedIn profile. You know the lady that just did a budget to piss off rich people...

I'm worried about British farming, with all the subs, tax breaks and funds they get, they're all not making much money. You've got to question, how viable British farming is now, post Brexit? No industry is supported that much in the UK. It's literally a quango or charity.

I think this whole inheritance tax on farmers, has exposed a lot of problems in the UK farming industry. Things like just how much farming in the UK is looked after - with funds, Subsidies, tax cuts on fuel etc. The question is for me, is farming a sustainable business or a charity?

I live on a new build, and after 4 years of being here, we have had our first bill for maintenance of the site for the year. When we bought the house, the company - I won't mention it, said "it will be £120 a year" Bill... nearly £300 for the year. What have they done to date? Nothing.

BOE suggests we need to repair our ties with the EU. Let's go one further and have another referendum before the end of this parliament - then start rebuilding our entry back in. Brexit has been the biggest con the British people have fallen for. And it needs to stop now.

One of my things is looking at real Meme's in the true psychological sense we say... Like people say, "at the end of the day..." My fav... "I tell you this for free!" WHAT? Have you been secretly invoicing me this shit advice to date? Does anyone have any others? 😂

I've only been here for a day, and this place has already blown my mind about how cool everyone is. Proper debate, proper banter... No ulterior motives. I just worry now the Twitter ghouls may haunt us here too.

Tesco - "we have record-breaking profits during a cost of living" New Government - "Cool, here is an extra bit of tax to help society and the debt the last government left us" Tesco - "F*CK OFF we cant afford that, we'll have to sack people, and put prices up" Do they not hear themselves?

Well, I am here, and I have no idea how to be here. On twitter, i was my professional world, on Linkedin same, on facebook more me. DO I be more me? or more professional? I don't know!! But i will say though, from what i have seen, this place is much more chilled and get it.

You are up to date.
