@LauraPidcock

[thread] While we’re at it, I worked for @LauraPidcock for 2.5 years & the way right-wing outlets like @politicshome, @GuidoFawkes , @DailyMailUK, @TheSun, @spectator etc treated her was a case study for me of why we can’t have an honest political culture in this country. (1/11)

Because none of it is journalism in any real sense. There’s not even the cursory commitment to factual reporting or debating the arguments. What we have instead is sly propaganda for a narrow, right-wing politics. Most people don’t recognise it as such because: (2/11)

(a) it’s hidden within the language used & small falsehoods in the reporting of what left-wing politicians & activists say & (b) because these slippages are spread via social media & wider liberal media outlets, so their origin is never really checked. (3/11)

THREAD: Was Labour’s 2019 manifesto popular?

This is an important question as Keir has distanced himself from it (and reverted to praising 2017) whilst RLB is seen as the continuity 2019 candidate.

On the face of it the policies were popular as @YouGov found:

But at the same time Corbyn was deeply unpopular and the main reason given by voters for abandoning Labour (see Opinium research below).

The conclusion some have drawn is that replacing the leader without changing any of the policies will make Labour electable again.

But presenting policies individually to respondents is like asking if they like certain foods. To which the answer might be yes, but not all at the same time and with a large cost bill attached. In the YouGov poll a majority also believed that Labour’s promises were unaffordable.

"Illuminators VS Illuminati"

Anons are illuminators.

We illuminate every corner of darkness.

We expose truth.

We distribute redpills.

We tirelessly research and write threads to share among other anons.

We shine light.

Nothing can stop what's coming.

Q often uses the famous phrase "DARK to LIGHT"

The world is experiencing a shift from dark to light.

We are seeing it everywhere. Darkness is being exposed like never before. Those who have been considered "untouchable" have and will continue to fall.

We are winning.

Q 1646.
"They know what is coming. It is more clear than ever. Never in our history have they been this exposed. Never in our history have they come out of the shadows to fight. The truth is clearly visible."

Ephesians 6:11-18
11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world,

against spiritual wickedness in high places.

13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;

15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;

As 31 January draws ever nearer, it is striking just how little we know about what Brexit will mean. We know that there were strong impulses behind the leave campaign (and the leave vote)... but we still don't know what choices the Govt will make. Thread. 1/

At root, Brexit was about 'taking back control', enabling the UK to remove itself from the EU's orbit. Europe was, it is said, holding the UK back. Free from the constraints of the EU, the UK would prosper. 2/

While some details are hazy, it is clear that post-Brexit UK aspires to be free to set its own immigration policy and trading standards, and to make its own trade deals with the rest of the world. And... that it aspires to prosper. 3/

How to slide into a lady’s DM without getting curved.

Retweet. A Thread 🧵

Let me ask you:
• What do you really want?
• Are you just looking for someone to talk to or you want more?
• Did you just get attracted by her avi or you took your ample time?
• Are you ready to take things offline?
• Can you take your L & move without qualms?
Answer first!

#1
• Have a nice and interesting profile with a sweet avi. Package yourself! Life is about packaging. Before a lady even answers your DM, she has gone through your entire profile generation.
You want to DM a lady and you don’t even have a profile picture??

So you all wanted an update on the 104yo who lost her house. Well, we found her a place to stay. Her grandkid sent us a note, and we want to share it with you in this thread. Please, please take the time to read it. THREAD 1/

"I can’t remember a year in my childhood when we didn’t visit the South Coast. There was a quiet, friendly competition over whether us kids preferred mum’s family house (a little weatherboard house opposite the bush in Kioloa) or Nana’s Rosedale home..." 2/

"...They each had their own special kind of magic for me. Nana’s house has steep, creaky stairs up to a sun-stained verandah. Inside, the wooden walls and floors are varnished the same caramel brown and hanging stained-glass rosellas catch the light and send it dancing..." 3/

@JonathanShedler Putting the merits of a psychoanalytic training curriculum aside, it appears that when @AllenFrancesMD holds that the American Psychoanalytic Association rejected Beck because “they didn’t like his research,” he is not really inaccurate but 1/

@JonathanShedler @AllenFrancesMD to no fault of his own, misleading by omission with the possibility of being correct unintentionally. To become a psychoanalyst, one must have an analytic patient that they analyze under supervision of a training analyst. Whether or not one graduates from analytic training is 2/

Yoruba History - by NNP

@YorubaHistory

Èṣù, the Divine Messenger

Èṣù, also known as Ẹlẹgba or Ẹlẹgbara, is the youngest and the cleverest of the deities.

#Yoruba

Photo: Effigy of the god 'Eshu' collected at Abeokuta by William Russell Bascom 1943-1945

He is the divine messenger who delivers sacrifices prescribed by the Babalawo to Ọlọrun after they have been placed at his shrine, a simple chunk of laterite set outside of every Ifẹ compound or a crude mud figure as in Mẹko.

He is a trickster who delights in trouble making but he serves Ọlọrun and the other deities by causing trouble for human beings who offend or neglect them.

Nations to be Destroyed in Aakhir-uz-Zaman ☠️
and WHO will destroy Them ALL? 👁️

Dream of Hazrat Ibrahim will soon happen.
Fidyah was given to Ismail a.s against 'Great Sacrifice' which is fixed for Arabs of Aakhir-uz-zaman (فی الاخرین) ⚰ may be during Malhama-tul-kubra 🔥

Not only Arabs, Allah has given same destruction news to Bani Israel in Aakhir-uz-zaman ☠

After Arabs, next in line will be Bani Israel to be destroyed (by Muslims) ⚰

Translation is wrong, putting a word zikr out of no where.

Another Nation which will be destroyed in Aakhir-uz-Zaman will be HINDU ⚰ (followers of Idols / Baál)

This is reference of Ghazwa-e-Hind in Quran.

Translation must be like, 'whatever is on him/them will be on last people doing same'

Quran might explain all things (Nahl:89)
