Favstar gets even better if you sign in.
Here's why signing in is good for you.
Oh internet. People have created diagrams of the "merciless prism of equality" mentioned in the #equalmarriage debate: pic.twitter.com/wotV3qFN
Sue Marsh (@suey2y) on Sky, countering @matthancockmp's and the Telegraph's ESA lies: MT @superfurryandy: @shakteh http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-JMvLDScorg …
So that @everydaysexism talk by Laura Bates was amazing, as were the gasps in the room as people realised that sexism IS still a problem.
Bailiff that assaulted/attempted to run over @julesmattsson & @heardinlondon at the Bank of Ideas last night has been arrested, apparently.
So, Laura Bates (of @everydaysexism fame) is coming to speak at the @uniofyork on Friday. I'm just a TAD excited. https://www.facebook.com/events/544346675604431/ …
THIS is what Gove is planning on doing to History?! Actually just removing women and people of colour completely? http://twitpic.com/bqlv04
Taking the Telegraph's "how Thatcherite are you?" test. It has this Q about threats to liberty and possible answers: pic.twitter.com/7KIH0zmU4i
Those with disabilities and the unemployed are often attacked in the media. Yet: "Posh-bashing is the REAL problem!" - Benedict Cumberbatch.
Police just RETREATED in face of a large crowd of students angry at them being there. Huge outbreaks of cheering. #mar25 #acab
Employment Minister Mark Hoban: "Some people on sickness benefits haven't worked for a long time." Yes, because they were AND STILL ARE ill.
If you do happen to dislike ATOS and cuts to disability benefits, why not donate towards the cost of Beth's fine? http://brightgreenscotland.org/index.php/2013/03/we-must-not-ignore-the-cameron-governments-attack-on-disabled-people/ …
If the Greens had been given the same fawning media coverage that UKIP has gotten, I wonder how they'd be doing now instead?
"Margaret Thatcher's supporters set up camp at St Paul's Cathedral", says the Telegraph with approval and seeing no irony at all.
On a #workfare related note, you know how people said the scheme wasn't being used to replace paid jobs? Well.. http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottish-news/revealed-big-businesses-taking-on-jobless-1480979 …
So @peopleandplanet invited a Tory to a debate at #SharedPlanet. He seems to be assuming we're all Labour members, which is.. well, wrong.
@thinktyler Weird insult, plays into stereotypes about young people being "idealistic" and "dreamers" (as if those are even bad things) too.
Karen Sherlock's story must become widely known. Another victim of #ATOS and the government's welfare reforms - http://t.co/RWIoNTXd
Also, if you're going to use the age of a young person as an insult rather than engage in debate, as that person did, kindly fuck off.
I mean look at the contrast of these two tweets that appeared on my timeline. Just look: pic.twitter.com/5aKb6yzgng
That article on Thatcher's funeral also talks of pre-emptive arrests of people who haven't done anything wrong: http://www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/hundreds-of-police-on-standby-to-stop-threatened-margaret-thatcher-death-party-in-trafalgar-square-8566679.html#.UWVdnwtSy58.twitter …
A 19 year old student, and apparently 'one of those angry lefty types'. Expect ramblings, rage and the occasional picture of kittens. Still powered by tea.
Stats can't be shown as @Shakteh has never signed in to Favstar.
