However, the influencer and alleged rapist Andrew Tate was highly unpopular among 16 and 17-year-olds of both genders. The self-proclaimed “misogynist” and “sexist” has said that there is “no such thing as an independent female”. www.thetimes.com/life-style/p...

I spotted someone wearing one watching Swan Lake last year. And like, I'm glad we no longer have to wear a dinner jacket to see ballet, but I think that's probably gone too far.

A spokesman said Meta’s AI tools shouldn’t have created intimate images of famous adults or any pictures of child celebrities. He also blamed Meta’s production of images of female celebrities wearing lingerie on failures of the company’s enforcement of its own policies, which prohibit such content.

If something happened to be daughter and in response I was told that she is now "with the person who loved her the most," you could not hold me legally liable for what I would do next.

The radicalised owner of X Elon Musk calls the Farage plan "weak sauce" as he promotes the racist convict Tommy Robinson's call for Rupert Lowe to join forces with Ben Habib's Advance UK. Lowe says a "proper" remigration and mass deportation policy must remove "millions" of legal migrants too

No, I’m sorry. What’s happening on Twitter isn’t the usual “it’s the internet, so you’re going to get a few racists” thing. It is a massive engine for creating new racists, a giant recruitment machine for neo-Nazis. You are not engaging WITH THE REALITY OF WHAT THE SITE IS NOW.

One of the most urgent crises in the criminal justice system is that allegations of rape and serious sexual offending take five years to reach trial. Any politician who claims to care about sexual violence and is silent on this issue has another agenda.

if I ever go properly "screaming about nothing in particular in the street" mad it will be due to having spent too much time having read about the opinions of men who have absolutely never cared about women's rights for one moment in their lives but decided to pretend just for the sake of racism
