I may change it up in the future.. 🖖🏼
Good Morning Mr Tuvok 🖖🏼
I prefer the nostr:nprofile1qqsfy229w70e8lgtxavlz9t78k06yrel6fxyhreteafqet8kfxhhwmg2c6av2 #Jade. That being said, I haven't tried any of the others due to cost. For me, the Jade was the best solution for the price, and I haven't felt the need to change.
My partner uses a standing desk ... well, one if those that moves up and down, so she has the option to sit if she needs to. She has back issues, and has lots of good things to say about it. 🤙🏼
"Tommy Robinson has been jailed for 18 months after admitting contempt of court by repeating false claims against a Syrian refugee." (Oct 2023)
'Free speech' rules in the UK rely on the fact that the speaker takes responsibility for the words they use.
He has been found to make libelous claims, and he repeated those claims. He made his own bed ...
That's a newspaper front page from 2014?
Patricia Hewitt is no longer in government, not for a long time. How can these be the people in charge?
There's no need to throw up, there are always debates on issues such as age of consent. Some think 12 is a good age, others think 14. Recently, an 18 year old British citizen was imprisoned in Dubai for having sex with a British girl of 17, two months away from her 18th birthday. Does that seem right to you?
Here, I think you're confusing the Labour party of the past with the current Labour government. There is no comparison. And besides, the Tory party and previous Tory governments also had those of it's members advocating for a lower age of consent. It's all very peculiar. I wonder why you bring it up at all? 🤔
Glad to see the Spectator has republished this: I read the pre-paywall part of it the other day and thought the whole thing would be worth a look.
https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/the-rotherham-cover-up/
The specific kind of crime that ‘Rotherham’ represents is absolutely racialised, and it is not rare. Rotherham itself is a small town. By a conservative estimate, 1,400 children (the vast majority girls) were abused over a 15-year period, representing a very substantial minority of white girls living in Rotherham at the time. A 2020 study by academics from Reading and Chichester universities estimated that 1 in 73 Muslim men in Rotherham were prosecuted for their involvement in the abuse, with an unknown additional number evading detection. Almost everyone in Rotherham knows someone involved, either as victim or perpetrator. It should not surprise us that, during last Summer’s race riots, the town was the site of some of the most serious violence.
But a post-industrial northern town like Rotherham feels a very long way from Westminster. ‘Rotherham’ as a synecdoche doesn’t just represent the racially-motivated sexual torture of adolescent girls, it also represents catastrophic elite failure.
Anyone interested in this can see what happened back in 2014/2015 here .. https://www.rotherham.gov.uk/downloads/download/31/independent-inquiry-into-child-sexual-exploitation-in-rotherham-1997---2013
The Alexis Jay report was in 2014.
In 2015, Sarah Champion (Labour MP for Rotherham) "formed and Chaired the CSE working group of over 40 MPs with cases of group based CSE gangs in their constituencies. She led the group to lobby the then Home Secretary, Sajid Javid, to commission [a] report". Five years later, in 2020, the Home Office eventually publish their own report https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/group-based-child-sexual-exploitation-characteristics-of-offending Sarah Champion says it doesn't go far enough.
Sarah Champion (Labour MP for Rotherham) creates the website https://www.dare2care.org.uk She has been an advocate for the investigation and reporting of CSE ever since.
In 2017, Sarah Champion (Labour MP for Rotherham) finds herself in trouble after writing an article in The Sun newspaper titled, "British Pakistani men ARE raping and exploiting white girls ... and it's time we faced up to it".
So, in 2023, when an opportunity grabbing, political populist announces that there is need for a 'Grooming Gangs Taskforce', I DO find it to be inflaming ‘Islamophobic and xenophobic prejudice'.
I find it difficult to believe that there is a concerted effort to sweep 'Rotherham' under the rug when all this information is available and in the public domain. "For my sins, I already knew the details." In my opinion, this Spectator article misses the point and is an attempt at further inflaming the hate.
Interesting footnote: In 2007, Julian Baggini wrote a book called 'Welcome to Everytown'. In it he explores the most average town in the UK ... Rotherham. If you really want to know what Rotherham was like back when all the CSE stuff was happening, give it a read.
In response to Jess Phillips' "reluctance to back and inquiry into Oldham's grooming gangs". In my opinion, it would be a waste of public money for another inquiry if this nature. Oldham local authority have already published their own report in 2022 ..
https://www.oldham.gov.uk/info/200386/protecting_children/2868/read_the_independent_review_into_historic_child_sexual_exploitation And there has been an independent report published in the same year, headed by Alexis Jay .. https://www.iicsa.org.uk/ To me, all previous governments, including this one, have been slow to react and enact the required rules and regulations as presented by any of the inquiry findings. Jess Phillips, it seems, is just a very bad communicator.
I quite like the nostr:nprofile1qqsfy229w70e8lgtxavlz9t78k06yrel6fxyhreteafqet8kfxhhwmg2c6av2 #Jade. This will definitely be on my to purchase list!
That being said, is it a case of "out with the old, in with the new"?
Will updates still be available for the original Jade?

"I also love nostr, but..."
I agree with most of what you said. Essentially trading in a 'walled garden' for a 'freedom walled garden' was how I initially saw nostr. Now, I can see how a lot of 'other stuff' is being built out, and as it develops, it seems to be much more than a twitter experience. I still recoil from the 'on brand, on message' influencers you speak of ...
My tip is not to use Primal. Yeah, it may be great for onboarding, but there are other apps available.

Good Morning 🌞☕
... And a Happy New Year! 🥳🎉
