Doesn't women's rights involve the right to be trans?
Or is it men who can't be trans? See nothing & no-one can undermine who I am, or how I define myself, at 67 I know where and who are the dangers and it's not what the media & rent a gobs tell us

Farage is a master at gaslighting and manipulation, his statements many tend to be ambiguous or walk a fine line. He's a awful person who has literally done squat for anyone unless he is getting something out of it...

Ah but the "get out of jail free card" is that he didn't actually name which taxes he would be cutting πŸ˜‰ the only tax cuts he would implement is for his backers another straight from the orange turds playbook

Nazir Afzal: β€˜Class Discrimination Isn’t a Complex Mystery – It’s a Structural Issue Quietly Enforced, Politely Denied, Endlessly Deferred’  – Byline Times Digital / Print Edition The Chancellor of Manchester University has co-authored a new report, β€˜Class Ceiling’, examining working-class participation in the creative industries across Greater Manchester. He spoke to Hardeep Matharu and Peter Jukes about how opportunities for people from poorer backgrounds has declined since the 1960s, and why his work prosecuting the grooming gangs perpetrators as the former Chief Crown Prosecutor for the North West informed his insights on class

The bombing of Iranian children is an unforgivable crime America has blood on its hands.

New in PN: The bombing of Iranian children is an unforgivable crime

"American disinterest in the lives of people abroad is a resource politicians use to justify cynical wars. It's hard to see on what moral grounds we claim a right to decide the fate of those about whom we clearly care so little."

Part of a house and outbuidings painted in watercolour. I love the clock tower, the pantiled roofs and the sundial. I won't be able to visit easily again now that I have become a non-driver but I can paint in the grounds of my own Tudor manor house (wishful thinking!)

Watercolour of a garden and buildings in Comberton near Cambridge. The botanist owner of this Tudor manor house is included in the painting, sitting in a folding chair. I have painted here several times.

Something different today. This is my local castle, about a 12-15 min walk from my house, it even has a moat! You can also get married there :)

In other news, I've packaged up all 32 weekend orders and they're being dropped at the sorting office tomorrow morning πŸ₯°

But it is everything to do with greed and power. Israel still murdering people in the West Bank, but heck Israel says jump and the orange orangutan says how high. I'm tired at selective outrage at dictorial regime's and nothing changes

Many regimes around the world need to change but bombing them doesn't work! But why now this regime? Russia invaded a sovereign country but nothing done, Israel has nuclear weapons but no other country around them can have them, this has nothing to do with helping the people (1)

Christ on a bike the ignorance and cult like following of Trump and accepting murder because they think everyone should live like them! Yes Iran needs to change but forcing change won't work! They should ask was it worth the lives of all the military personnel in Iraq/Afghanistan?

The king is basically sanctioning who & what Trump is... But then this is a King who has a penchant for child abusers like Savile, his Uncle and now Trump

Here's one of my more recent paintings: 'She Was Always Asleep At School', oil on canvas panel, 40x50cm framed. A painting inspired by a girl in primary school who was always asleep due to unknown home troubles. Elements homage Dorothea Tanning.

Many famous people and writers around the world have come out called him a child abuser, paedophile, and have put it in writing and he is saying squat! No threats to sue any one saying it, complete silence from the orange abuser

I tend now to say "they" when I don't know about partner, in fact I try not to use he/she I always refer to people by their name if I know it, and then they/their when I don't.
