Yet again @RickyGervais nails it when it comes to his views on trophy hunters! "What must've happened to you in your life to make you want to kill a beautiful animal and then lie next to it smiling? 😠!!" RT if you want a GLOBAL ban on #TrophyHunting NOW!

For some reason, I have been thinking about this moment a lot today. It's from John McCain in 2008 at a town hall. The woman begins to espouse conspiracy theories about Barack Obama's nationality. He immediately shuts it down. "No ma'am. He's a decent family man."

This is how dictators destroy free nations. They threaten those who speak against them with death. We cannot entrust our country and our freedom to a petty, vindictive, cruel, unstable man who wants to be a tyrant. #Womenwillnotbesilenced #VoteKamala

In Iran, a woman who was accosted by the “morality police” for not wearing hijab removes her clothing & roams the streets in defiance. She has since been arrested by IRGC forces and forcibly disappeared. This is the brave face of true resistance.

In Iran, a student harassed by her university’s morality police over her “improper” hijab didn’t back down. She turned her body into a protest, stripping to her underwear and marching through campus—defying a regime that constantly controls women’s bodies. Her act is a powerful

Defiance personified. She was arrested and killed.

Ahoo Daryaei. Say her name. Break the silence, let this be viral! #AhooDaryaei

Breaking: The authorities in Iran are now claiming that a young woman, who courageously removed her clothes in protest against harassment by the morality, police at her university, suffers from psychological illness and has been admitted to a mental health hospital. This

1/When I protested against mandatory hijab, after the security forces arrested me, my family was pressured to declare me mentally ill, the Islamic republic of Iran even taking me to a forensic doctor. One of my relatives came to see me in prison and shared the situation.

BREAKING: Anti-Psychopath PAC just released their last ad featuring Trump’s sexual assault victims telling their stories. Please share far and wide!

The effect of inflationary pressures from energy, wages and cost of supply - and a timely reminder that hospitality is three times as impactful on the basket of goods calc than energy - you cannot get control of inflation unless you get control of pre profit taxes and costs

This video gave me goosebumps: retired workers are chanting the name of a woman who bravely protested forced hijab by undressing in public. It’s powerful to see the older generation defying the regime’s attempts to silence a woman who used her body to protest against Islamic

Stark analysis from Deutsche Bank suggesting double the number of jobs could be at risk as a result of NIC change & all workers will see a hit to take home pay wages suppressed by £5.6bn. It’s regressive - it hits the lowest paid, part time and predominantly women. Rethink needed

Vamos, Rafa Nadal!   As you get ready to graduate from tennis, I’ve got a few things to share before I maybe get emotional.   Let’s start with the obvious: you beat me—a lot. More than I managed to beat you. You challenged me in ways no one else could. On clay, it felt like I

If Treasury is modelling French style levy I hope they are modelling French VAT too - even with VAT and tourist tax, visitors in France, Spain, Italy, Greece pay less than we do with 20% VAT. We are the least competitive on price - hotels pay 75% tax rate dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1…

Biden: I know some in the incoming administration.. they don’t even believe climate change is real. I think they come from a different century. They are wrong. Dead wrong. It’s the single greatest existential threat to humanity.

Higher prices - and inflation - are inevitable given the additional tax and costs being loaded onto hospitality and retail as a result of the Budget. Largest of these is the halving of threshold for NICs, bringing many more workers into the scope of a jobs tax for first time
