@Isha, how do you come across these bits of Twitter nonsense ? You have an army of minions scanning the twitter machine 24X7 ?

Activists needn't look scruffy nowadays, sweetie darling. Dreadlocks and ponchos are like so 20 years ago :lol:
What is this tap tap nonsense all about? it looks like they don't actually want to break the glass. Why not take a tip from the suffragettes and just throw a brick? Then you have less chance of being cut or blinded when the pane shatters, no safety glasses or gloves ladies, tsk tsk.

Honestly though what will their actions achieve in the end? Nothing. Morgan are insured for damages so it won't cost them anything.
If you really want to hurt the banks the best thing to do is boycott them: close your account and put your money in the credit union or post office.

''AOC'' wore a dress to the Met Gala which said

Image

AOC said it was designed by an immigrant working class woman.
Proud to work with @aurorajames as a sustainably focused, Black woman immigrant designer...
It was designed by Aurora James who moved to New York from....well.... Toronto.
"We really started having a conversation about what it means to be a working class women of color at the Met," the congresswoman said while on the red carpet. "And we said we can't just play along, but we need to break the fourth wall and challenge some of the institutions."
Note AOC earns about 170,000 basic per year now, went to Boston University and grew up in a pleasant New York neighbourhood.

Aurora James's own net worth is 1.5 million; she is going out with Benjamin Bronfman
Image

Bronfman is worth 100 million dollars. (His Grandad was the Seagram liquor billionaire, and his Dad was long time CEO of Warner music, his net worth is 2.5 billion, and is the half-brother of the woman (Clare Bronfman) charged re NXIVM sex trafficking case.)

Honestly, it is all performance art.

Same as me being told I was absuing my "white privelege" by not kneeling for Saint George Floyd by someone who may be black, but grew up with money' Daddy got him into university with a "donation" and gave him his first job. He's fecking useless at what he does main'ly cos there's no "fear" - he can feck up, and claim racism.

The rich are taxed, it's just that they go to great lengths to avoid paying it.

U2 SINGER Bono says he was “stung” and “hurt” by criticism of the band moving part of its business to the Netherlands to lessen its tax burden.

Bono and Co. get a lot of stick for that but they are rank amateurs compared to the big boys, the master tax dodgers. George Soros went three years in a row without paying a single penny of income tax for eg!

Here is what the four richest men in america paid in tax from 2014 to 2018.

Must admit this is not WTF for me personally as I was wholly onboard the Hunter Biden Laptop thing being true when it was published. But do you remember the enormous amount of mainstream media censorship at the time? The New York Post - an old paper in the market - was blocked from Twitter for publishing the story. People were called all manner of wild conspiracy theorist. People who backed up the emails were made tits out of on the regular channels.
For what it's worth I think it goes way beyond the business deal emails to a really sordid story on the whole Biden set up and especially Hunter, which has been covered up. Yep, I saw all the pics supposedly from the laptops - Hunter Biden is a complete uber creep and there is something really creepy about the wider family and their attempts to play at wholesome. Uh huh. You can take that to the bank in advance of it one day being proved true ;)

John Lewis advertisement for Home Insurance :?

Executive pitch at the boardroom - Mammy and little girl sit working/painting quietly and presumably will tidy up after gender-creative boy trashes the entire place in an entitled fit of sexualised vamping. Sounds good, guys, yep, let's run with it. :roll:

Jesus wept, what is happening in the world. Who is behind pushing these messages? My working theory is that all the woke gender studies graduates that can't get proper jobs (in the Gender Factory or something, I dunno) end up in HR, Marketing, and Advertising.

In any normal reasonable world that child would be severely punished. At the very least, he'd have his iPhone confiscated and lose pronoun privileges ;)

I'm very early Gen X and I honestly think my kids are some of the last ones to learn that actions have consequences.

I would not punish the kid for the dress up, and I have to say the little fella is a brilliant actor. But its the total carnage he is causing being indulged, and in the vessel of the gender creative child as a sacred trope. Do that vamping highjinks outside kid and clean up after yourself when you are done.

Absolutely agree - my sons have all played dress up and enjoyed non gender specific toys and activities. Dammit I experimented and crossdressed back in the 80s myself - good times! But you're spot on about it having become a sacred trope :roll:

Nobody bothered about the fact that people will be claiming home insurance for damages caused by ...not a fire, flood or storm ...but their own kid?

I couldn't care less about the fact the the kid is wearing a dress and lipstick...bothers me more that his parents are going to drive up insurance costs for us all. (and that the insurance company obviously supports this practice)

Dr Rachel Levine has been publicly announced, everywhere from US Government departments, to the New York Times, as the first FEMALE four-star Admiral.
Dr Levine is a trans woman. Which is absolutely fine, so the story is that Dr Levine is the first trans woman four-star Admiral.
But Dr Levine is not a female and this blurring of the scientific reality of what is female is wrong. It is ideological gaslighting. This is not a ''first'' for ''females''.

Female is a person bearing two X chromosomes in the cell nuclei and of or denoting the sex that can bear offspring or produce eggs, distinguished biologically by the production of gametes (ova) which can be fertilized by male gametes.

Humans can change gender expression and identity but humans cannot change sex.

This is being called racist now. Image

Something about cultural appropriation and being culturally insensitive.

Surely these geordies are trying to pay homage to their new owners, they haven't been this happy in decades.

Thye're geordies, they are paying homage to their favourite tipple.
