Look at these beauties? Growing so well. 3 years in the ground. 5 acres of species-poor former 'paddock', 3,500 native grown trees and shrubs, 12 different species. Tallest now perhaps 9ft tall? With the help of the wonderful @WoodlandTrust

Ridiculous!
The limit needs to be on how many days fireworks can take place on. So it doesn't go on for weeks. Not how loud fireworks are

Every claim being made here about trans people by City of London applies more strongly and for better reasons to women. It's ludicrous that they cannot see it

This is the hateful @micheal_olainn at work, his hateful bigotry on full show, and the response that presumably led to him blocking me. He's a nasty piece of work

Absolutely no-one needs a remotely controlled, internet connected freezer. And this is why!

As usual, a cowardly way out for a man who is unable to explain why he is so keen to tell men they're not committing a crime if they go into women-only public toilets. Utterly unable to engage with any points made, then runs away. As usual
Last comment from me, as this has run its course.
You've been relatively civil, so I won't block you (unless you show up on my timeline harassing me)
I will mute you though, so I won't see any more comments from you or notifications.
Have a good one.

People forget about the many other casualties of war - every war, anywhere.
Life! Living things all over the planet are killed by us as innocent bystanders in our stupid, pointless wars.

This statement is pretty much true of every single person who ever claims that JK Rowling is 'hateful' or even 'unreasonable'. Anyone who makes such claims has either been lied to, is a liar themselves, or is too lazy to fact check anything.
That's humans for you
There’s no better time than ever to clear the air.
For a long time I’ve thought and said “If people didn’t treat JK Rowling like jerks, then she wouldn’t have become so radicalized.”
I now realize my mistake.
Now that I’ve read her actual essay, I realize
She isn’t radicalized. She’s perfectly reasonable even now.
It’s so easy to fall into the assumption that someone is evil because everyone else says so. I can’t believe I’ve fallen into that trap.
I know not everyone will agree, but give it a read for yourself. The hostility she received is met with calm, rational warmth in the essay.
All I really want to say right now is that I feel I was misled into thinking this woman was a terrible person, and ended up avoiding such a wonderful series.

These people really are incredibly stupid.
This moronic attempt at a 'gotcha' backfires immediately.
People with DSDs - differences of sexual development - are not trans. And every person with DSD is either male or female. Not neither, not both, not a third sex. No spectrum!

Really can't stand this incompetent, short-sighted Labour government.
