- If a teenager is found carrying a knife *ten* times and nothing is done then Amazon are not the ones at fault.🚨 NEW: Home Secretary Yvette Cooper says Axel Rudukabana was found to have carried a knife more than 10 times, including one that was bought on Amazon "The fact that he was just 17, he was easily able to order a knife on Amazon.

Because of the Online Safety Act. A relative in America sent me this screenshot of one blocked post
- Absolutely baffled by this position. Is the concept of ethnic Irish, Scots, Magyar, Igbo, Han etc evil? Or is it just the English who aren’t allowed to conceive of ourselves as an ethnos?
- Replying to @CharlieRadUK @chrisshipitv and 2 othersIt took me about half a second
- Replying to @vocalcryCounter argument: Imperial measurements are expressions of platonic ideals and therefore the 6’ preference is entirely reasonable
