    Hamza bin Walayat has received death threats from family in Pakistan for being an apostate. Our home office will deport him back because he can’t be a Humanist for not knowing about Aristotle and Plato. Support efforts for justice.

    Everyone should be able to read the bible. China is a tyranny, denying religious freedom.

    Just watched the Nazi pug video. I found it offensive, not humourlessly done. I cannot condone it, it was awful. Yet criminality cannot be based on whether it hits a funnybone or is beyond the pale of decency. The court of public opinion is where free speech should rule on it.

    A 007 page turner

    So there was a MYSTERY at the library today. A wee old women came in and said "I've a question. Why does page 7 in all the books I take out have the 7 underlined in pen? It seems odd." "What?" I say, thinking she might be a bit off her rocker. She showed me, and they did.

    Having a daughter with autism meant I never had that choice because care work is not valued or paid. If you call campaigning for equality in those circumstances a choice then maybe it is. The alternative was depression and loss. So not really a choice.

    Making a choice not to earn as much as your potential suggests you could. You aren’t the first to do so. It’s ok...

    Our experts have precisely identified the nerve agent as a Novichok. It is not, and has never been, our responsibility to confirm the source of the agent

    The government's handling of the fallout this week has been embarrassing, particularly on the part of Boris Johnson. To infer from such incompetency that the government is at the head of a multifaceted and sophisticated conspiracy is odd, to put it politely.

    “It is our job to provide the scientific evidence of what this particular nerve agent is. We identified that it is from this particular family and that it is a military grade, but it is not our job to say where it was manufactured.”

    What the hell ... how any teacher can force a pupil to pray before dismissing them and tell a child they are going to hell for being gay. Glad tribunal upheld dismissal.

    Those that want discord, hatred and violence to tear us apart want every single day to punish Muslims. The far right hate them, religious extremists want to use them. Our humanity is what makes us one and when we start to factionalise ourselves, sectarianism will punish us all.
