First time for everything - but I'm assuming I wasn't the trendsetter here? 😳 But hey ho: great minds and all that.

Finally, here's a much needed reminder about language - from someone who'll be laughing his head off at the sheer inanity of it all.

A little update to this. He is DEFINITELY recovering and his courage to survive is just unbelievable.

Yesterday, I found him sitting on his lonesome outside the local bakery. He immediately flew straight to my balcony to wait for my return there. 🥰
Then today, he appeared when bigger pigeons were on the balcony. They chased him off and I was FURIOUS. I shook my curtains at them: a signal they know means "scram!"

That must be confusing. "Shaun, we thought you were our friend". Yes, I am - but I won't tolerate bullying!
And... it worked. They scarpered, he returned half an hour later, and he gently trotted in. In other words, he can almost walk again! ❤️🙏

All that in just 4 days since something so awful happened to him. I find it astonishing. And his feathers are visibly growing back too.

Every last thing O'Brien says in this call applies to HIM over 2019.

- Cheerled for Fracking Jo Swinson
- Lied constantly about Labour's Brexit position
- Actually referred to Labour as 'the party of Holocaust denial'
- Insisted 'any other leader would be 20 points ahead'
- Referred to Corbyn as 'Magic Grandpa'
- Referred to 13 million Labour voters as a 'cult'
- Constantly ignored what the Tories were doing
- Just punched left instead

He had all the information at his disposal. The above is what he chose to do.
He was every bit as wrong as any Brexit voter he publicly lampoons... and he still doesn't get it even now.

And you know what he does with anyone who disagrees with him on here? Like Owen Jones, he blocks them.

I know they have to say this, don't get me wrong. But God it annoys me.

'Working people'. 'Hardworking families'. The latter, making it sound like 2-year-olds only matter if they're already slaving their guts out.

Work is good for us, yes. But so is leisure.
The world's happiest places are consistently the most egalitarian.

And the world's most egalitarian societies place an emphasis on WELLBEING and FREE TIME.

Because we're not on this planet to sit in grim as hell offices all day long being bullied by arseholes for poverty pay.
We're not on this planet to spend our whole lives slaving away doing something we hate only to drop dead in sheer exhaustion the moment we can finally afford to stop.

The meaning of life? It's love. In all its forms.

Dear me.

When a straight woman says she wants a 'tall, dark, handsome man', is she being short phobic, pink phobic or ugly phobic? No: she's expressing a physical preference.

Lesbian women are attracted to... other women. Not to an 'essence' or an 'aura'... but to other women
Not only that - but sexual attraction IS NOT MATHS. It's biological, it's chemical... and while I hate to be so blunt, physical desire frequently involves desiring someone else's body parts. And enjoying them to both partners' fullest.

This stuff isn't controversial.
It's only become so thanks to an unhinged, mad discourse which isn't just denying sex itself - it's now started denying the basis of sexual attraction! It's taking us back beyond prehistoric times in the name of 'progress' and 'inclusion'. 🙄

"Mother Teresa feeds the poor in Calcutta. Is this the nasty face of India?"

"Jesus Christ feeds the 5000. Is this the nasty face of Christianity?"

"Insulate Britain want the human race to survive. Is this the nasty face of not wanting everyone to die in pools of vomit?"
"Insulate Britain want trees, not concrete. Is this the nasty face of their anti-capitalist agenda?"

"SureStart provided after-school care for millions of kids. Was this the nasty face of the crank left?"
"Rishi Sunak has slashed support from the most vulnerable, so some will starve to death. Is this the caring face of the right?"

"Joe Biden wants to stop millions of Americans dying from a deadly pandemic. Is this the nasty face of the left?"

When a lobby group set up to defend and advance the cause of gay and lesbian people suddenly abandons gay and lesbian people, denies science, denies biology, denies the reality of sexual attraction itself, and imposes this denial across the UK, what did people think would happen?
When that lobby group lies about what the Equality Act does and doesn't say to universities, to the police, to Ofcom, to the BBC, to the Scottish, Welsh and Northern Ireland governments, and tries to eliminate sex-based rights and erase women, what did people think would happen?
What the BBC reported yesterday is the exact, inevitable conclusion of denying same-sex attraction and insisting, against all evidence - which dates back to the beginning of the human race itself - that it's somehow about gender instead.
