No one will care but this is my last ever tweet. @X has automatically deleted three of my posts challenging the view that the US should apply sanctions to countries that impose restrictions on what the platform does within their borders; an ironic curtailment of free speech.

"Fetuses don't get special rights." Agreed. The right to not be electively killed in utero isn't a special right. It's a right *every single one of us* should have had when we were in that vulnerable position, and a right embryos and fetuses should have today.


English Catholics thinking the established church is a big thing? How unreasonable!

Why are online Roman Catholics and Orthodox so obsessed with the Church of England? I think they're actually jealous because they know deep down that their theological arguments against us are nonsense and that we're the best.

Here is the relevant article. Sextus Julius Africanus in his Chronographia implies December without a specific date according to Wallraff who did the critical edition of the extant fragments. English Heritage really does need to be better at history! thinkspace.fairfield.edu/post/737347927…

Kit Malthouse seems to think the Upper Chamber has no role whatsoever. If they can't amend and/or reject legislation even that agreed by the commons then they are pointless.

A neat rhetorical move, but constitutionally upside down. The Lords’ limits exist because the primacy of the elected House must be insulated from an unelected chamber, not because that primacy is in doubt. The settlement works to prevent precisely the scenario you imply.

This is something really important. **Children as young as 10 are about to face a dangerous NHS drug experiment.** We must act fast. The NHS is about to run a £10.7 million trial giving puberty blockers to children, even though the Cass Review said these drugs are unsafe. Many of…

You could stop prosecuting 13,000 people a year for tweets and thoughtcrime. That would get rid of a good chunk of the backlog without eliminating a thousand year old right to trial by jury

Almost 80,000 court cases are held up in the Crown Court backlog and behind every delay is a victim whose life is on hold. We’re going to change that. Later today I’ll set out a plan to modernise the system and make justice swift and fair.

I’m a conservative and a Catholic of the most old-fashioned kind. But this condescending attitude too many right-wingers have toward Islam is idiotic and counterproductive. Say what you will about Islam, it built a formidable civilization and produced thinkers of genius. Even in…

"Liberal modernity has sunk us into a nihilism that neither wants to preserve itself nor is worth preserving." Yet apparently Islam is.
