Next, let's go to the EU era & Grace Campbell who went to court in Strasbourg in the 70s to have corporal punishment banned in UK schools. She won and Westminster had to legislate. What. A. Mama. https://t.co/qQMAcPhtZz /2
Elizabeth Wiskemann gathered intelligence undercover in Switzerland during WWII. When the Allies refused to bomb Auschwitz she sent a coded msg she knew wd be intercepted & halted Hungarian Jewish deportations. Later she was Professor of International Relations at Edinburgh /3

Many courageous Scottish women got involved in the Spanish Civil War 1936 - 39. Scotland has a long tradition of banging anti-Fascist heroines. Rabbit hole alert: I wrote a thread about Spain here already 👇 Fill. Your. Boots.
Cos I'm in Spain - a thread of Scottish foremothers who fought fascism during the Civil War 1936-9. Cos fighting facism is important. This is Annie Murray Knight - a nurse. Her stories of Italian planes dropping sweet tins with bombs inside, which blew up kids, are harrowing. /1 pic.twitter.com/NCPcxDo0S8

We also have a long tradition of artists whose work takes them all over Europe. Notorious suffragette Ethel Moorhead trained under Czech legend Alfons Mucha. She was the 1st Scottish suffragette to be forcibly fed too. I love this mural of her - what a legend. /5

The group refers to members as 'humanoids' they take group classes on orgasming & learn to speak to molecules. Ex-members brave enough time speak out call the group a cult that enlists mind control as a form of manipulation & reaping profit is key. pic.twitter.com/a894gVBgwY

The Equality &Diversity Monitoring section of yr job application has 'gender' & 'gender identity' in what appears to be a list of protected characteristics under the Equality Act 2010
1/16

'Gender' and 'gender identity' are not protected characteristics under the Equality Act 2010 and are not defined in the Act.
https://t.co/qisFhCiV1u
2/16

Sex is the protected characteristic under the Act, but that is not on your list.
3/16
You then ask for the 'gender' of the application, saying, "This is your legal Gender" with options:
Female
Male
Unspecified.
4/16
'Gender' is not a protected characteristic under the Equality Act 2010 and is not defined in the Act. It is not clear what you mean by 'legal gender'.

Stop asking a girl if she has a boyfriend(no ring means AVAILABLE) . Take her out on different dates, give her ATTENTION, treat her nice, make her laugh and above all be honest with her and make her feel safe with you... Then, let her decide if she's single or not \U0001f60e

-> Because D2C brands are able to directly establish a relationship with the consumer, they are able to provide greater personalization & faster TAT for after-sales issues. I have personally interacted with many co-founders of these brands after purchase to provide feedback.
-> Lack of infrastructure shackles allows these brands to increase their CACs & rope in consumers with cashbacks, rewards, subscriptions, and other gifting bundles. Brands have also collaborated together in the form of cross-overs (Dope x Svami, The Whole Truth x KC Roasters).
-> I personally discovered half of these brands through @CRED_club. CRED claims that their 3 million members spend as much as 40% higher than average consumers. If this holds true, CRED Pay, launched in collaboration with @Razorpay, is a golden opportunity for D2C brands.
-> The craft coffee revolution has reached India. Newer flavours, blends, roast profiles, and the finer subtleties of coffee are finding takers. Here's a tweet from @miten highlighting some of these amazing brands on CRED.

Look around.
What way of life?
The one we used to have?
The UK has been under varying degrees of restriction since March 23rd 2020.
1. \u201c#ZeroCovid is impossible\u201d
— Adam Hamdy (@adamhamdy) January 4, 2021
I\u2019ve been arguing for #ZeroCovid before it even had a name, so I\u2019ve heard most of the counter arguments.
It\u2019s too expensive.
If countries like Vietnam can afford it, why can\u2019t we?https://t.co/1XUyzOuHtc
2. Nearly a year of having our social and economic freedoms curtailed in one way or another. Nearly a year of muted economic activity. Nearly a year of mass death and disease.
#ZeroCovid doesn't fit with a way of life that doesn't exist anymore.
3. The question isn't whether it fits with our old freewheeling ways, but whether it would lead to better outcomes than the UK's current (poorly defined) strategy? Experiences in New Zealand, Australia, Vietnam, China, Taiwan and elsewhere very much suggest it would.
4. #ZeroCovid isn't about what's possible. It's about what's necessary. Decide what's necessary and figure out a way to make it possible. We can't force travellers to quarantine in hotels for two weeks? Why not? Taiwan does. And if that's what's necessary, why aren't we doing it?
5. I've heard some odd things said about #ZeroCovid
Simple-minded clod Matt Hancock said Zero Covid is impossible because no country has had zero cases.
Zero Covid sets out an ambition. It signals a country treats any infections as serious
