A man plead guilty this morning to abduction & sexual assault of a young girl. He had a sexual fetish that involved dressing in female underwear & clothing, with child sexual abuse porn on his laptop, videos associated with his fetishes. These crimes were committed by a male. 1/
This male has been pretending to be a woman for some years & had adopted the name of Amy George. The only reason this male was referred to as 'he' in court was because he agreed to it for 'simplicity'. In a very similar universe to ours, our court system would be referring to 2/
to this dangerous sexual pervert as 'she'. His crimes would be recorded as female crimes. He would stand a chance of a sentence in the female estate - we sincerely hope @scottishprisons don't #BeKind to 'Amy' at any point. Male crime, male prison. 3/

👨🏾‍💻 OK. So the @Independent is such a rare thing these days. There are a couple of things to highlight in this article.

Firstly, Rules of Origin generally are a WTO concept not EU concept. The Single Market recognised the UK as equivalent #Thread /1

Most of the provision of the UK-EU Partnership Agreement undoes EU rules to 'regress' to WTO rules, before then applying the Free Trade Agreement elements between the two parties. That's the nature of going from Single Market & Customs Union, to a [mere] free trade agreement /2
The affected industry bodies seem to think they can just pick up the trade deal & start negotiations from scratch again. No, that's not how it works. The EU are now not part of the regulatory chain the UK can access, since the UK gave up on the shared competency of membership /3

The hashtag #StopTheLeftPurge is trending because many prominent left wing accounts are being banned by Twitter.

A lot of people who have called for censorship in the past, are now tweeting this hashtag.

Man, if only someone had been warning all of you about this for years.
But guys, Twitter is a private company and can do what it wants.

Right?
Gloating over being proved right again aside.

Stop banning accounts based on political persuasion. These accounts should not be censored and they should be reinstated.

Russian 2016 Influence Operation Targeted African-Americans on Social Media nyti.ms/2R2pmzO
I’ve already gone over this umpteen times but once again let me just say that Putin used Bernie and his Bros as pawns in a clearly futile effort to put a dent in Hillary’s support from Black voters. Anyone who’s still denying this fact is/was part of the problem and propaganda.
In other words, we told y’all so from Day 1. When their ploy didn’t work on Black voters in the Democratic primary, they found greener pastures by peddling “Bernie or Bust” to White “moderates” who either voted for Jill (Russian plant) or stayed at home. nytimes.com/2018/12/17/us/…
