Ultimately it was not one single issue that brought him down but a widespread realisation by his colleagues that he couldn’t change his policies, his personality or his lack of will to meaningfully fight his corner, writes Richard Alston.

‘Turnbull thought he knew better — yet he ultimately ran the most inept campaign in living memory.’
He seems nice.

Real rape culture in the West. The cowardly authorities who ignored this long term abuse for fear of appearing racist must also be held to account. bbc.com/news/uk-englan…
‘Rotherham, Oxford, Rochdale, Derby, Banbury, Telford, Peterborough, Aylesbury, Bristol, Halifax, Keighley, Newcastle... now Huddersfield.’ The systematic abuse of vulnerable girls & the failure of authorities to act because the offenders were from immigrant communities.
One vulnerable youngster, just 12 at the time, was forcibly removed from her care home by a thug who told staff: "I want to f*** her".
(Details can only now be disclosed after a judge lifted reporting restrictions following a challenge from the media)

Sweet Jesus. These “anti-fascist” idiots are actually vandalising ambulances. 🤦🏽‍♀️
The moron painting “nazi pig” on ambulances thinks he’s morally superior to the men & women who literally save people’s lives.
Any danger of “anti-fascist” activists actually tackling real anti-semitism?

So, Rudd the chronic leaker/wrecker/backstabber is moralising on treachery & democracy...and being applauded by the deranged Murdoch conspiracy dolts. Twitter is a gift.
Same activist ‘journalists’ & Leftist commentators who relentlessly smear conservatives & cheered Abbott’s knifing are apoplectic & screeching about a ‘crisis in democracy’. Some want an inquiry! This is what happens when entitlement meets paranoia.

One of the best things you can do in this new year is to sit down every weekend and automate/tune up one single thing about your personal finances, whether that's an autopay for your utilities or for the first time ever looking at your company's 401k distributions for you.
Did you know that if your company has a retirement plan for you, that you can change how they've allocated it in terms of investments? Go look into it and spend even 15 minutes looking at how your money has been invested. Even if it's just a few dollars.
I winced away from the idea of looking at money for so long. I had/have/absolutely will have forever some monster student loans. Didn't come from wealthy folk, so I didn't understand anything about it and was in general scared of it.

Bon, j’ai eu plusieurs accrochages avec des camarades de la #FI sur Twitter alors je vais clarifier mes positions dans ce thread.
Tout d’abord, je soutiens la #FI depuis ses débuts, je soutenais aussi le #PG depuis ses débuts et je continue d’ailleurs à cotiser au PG par prélèvement mensuel.
Quand j’ai adhéré au #PG et même à la #FI, j’étais absolument d’accord avec tout. Économique, social, sociétal et écologie.

One of the impoverished women freed by @MassBailOut after being caged on Rikers on $750 bail for stealing a pair of shoes, didn’t show up to her court date today. Twice calling her a “jail bird,” the NY Post, in classic classless form, jumped all over her.nypost.com/2018/10/23/rik…
“A black eye for the RFK charity.” The story is Willie Horton-style reporting. Breathless. Seemingly excited that they get to prove from one single imperfection, one misstep, that @RFKHumanRights & others who supported the action & bail reform generally blew it. It’s a lazy take.
At base, I believe that it is *wrong* that anyone should be imprisoned solely because they are too poor to afford to buy their freedom. There is no good reason that Weinstein should be free bc he can afford $1 million, but this woman should not be bc she couldn’t afford $750.

One of the things that was taken from us was the ability to be fully (& messily) human, with all the contradictions inherent therein.

Because of how Blackness sits in the world, we don't get to feel many things at once. It robs us of our personhood.
We can say all day, "I am enjoying some of the escapist aspects of the royal wedding/Black Panther/reality TV, while having a critique of how said wedding/film/TV show is problematic for reasons X, Y, Z."

But we all seem to understand Black people only as specific tropes.
Lately, the discourse cycle has been:
A: "Let us enjoy things."
B: "Said things are problematic & the world is awful. How can you enjoy?"
A: "We know. But still, we enjoy these things."
B: "Then you're problematic."
A: "And you're oppressive."
B: "You're the real problem."

Change of plans: no phone reception or wifi at the venue. Might make a video later. Have a good night.
Home from the event. Around 100 people went home before it started coz they couldn't enter the building due to protesters blocking entrance
Police were there and said that since the protesters were 'threatening violence', they wouldn't intervene, to protect their officers
