@themattylee @JohnCleese Oddly surprising to have to explain this but here goes: for many females & women, what is in someones pants can be very threatening & put them at risk. Many humans born w/ the XY sadly are violent to women. That's why we prefer not to share our safe spaces w/ them.

@Mousketeer @AudreySuffolk Just because your Mam is totally fine with having male born carers assist her in her home, doesn’t mean other biological women should feel the same. And if they don’t feel the same that is not hate. No different to preferring a female gynecologist.

@PetulantWench I didn't vote for Reform but I respect everyone's right to vote for their chosen party. Given how far to the left the Tories have swung, many now see Reform as more centrist. Political parties & their policies can change drastically over time. Labour moved far left under Corbyn,

@Claramanda06 @WEP_UK Having read the judge’ sentence in full, I respectfully disagree. This woman doesn’t seem fit to be a parent & I have grave safeguarding concerns for her children.

@JamesBlunt @NetflixUK James, you & your wit truly are amazing! Lesser mortals would have folded long ago, what with all of the vitriol thrown at you over the years. And yet here you are, deploying the best kind of retorts. I'm minded to share your approach with our kids as a lesson in resilience 🙂

@fwolfe65 @Serena_Partrick I assure you that those women you describe who’ve handed their safe spaces to men do NOT speak for most women. Nor did all women look the other way re Afghanistan. I spent a lot of time trying to lobby for those evac flights to prioritize women.

@FriendsofZeno @Nevererdofher @KatieOShea30 It is indeed odd that many don't see the sacrifices families make to afford private education and how they effectively subsidise the state system through their taxes.

@Nevererdofher Your perspective is flawed. UK taxpayers who send their kids to private schools actually subsidise state schools: 1) They pay taxes for state schools but don’t use them. 2) They pay full private school fees post-tax, funding both systems from their own pockets. These taxpayers

@Baddiel Each to their own. Those items likely hold sentimental value & reflect the tastes of the King, or the late Queen. Care to do a Zoom around your home & have folks share their views on your interiors? I bet you'd be surprised not everyone would be kind.

@peterjfenton @GMB If you wish to fully understand the circumstances, all the details are available for public reading in the judges sentencing here: It doesn't require anyone to have legal experience for it to be evident that this woman carried out manslaughter.

@TourreBakahai @MailOnline It’s probably unkind but the photo of MM at the concert reminds me of a clapping circus seal.

@PetulantWench Name-calling and mocking people's reactions only add to the division - maybe that's something you actually enjoy? Or are you interested in having respectful discussions and finding common ground instead of fueling the fire?

@BradfemlyWalsh Been a fan of the Foos since they started. Always thought he was one of the rare good guys. Loyal. So disappointed. Cannot imagine what his wife & daughters are going through right now. Their hero isn’t who they thought he was. And that poor baby who didn’t ask for any of this

@BBCBreaking Please can those sharing alleged footage of the Boeing crash stop. Those are real people, brothers, sisters, children, families, loved ones, perishing. No one needs to see footage.
