🚨Breaking: The UK government has published a draft ‘Conversion Practices Bill’🚨

As expected, it is an utter nightmare. The fact that Stonewall is celebrating tells you everything you need to know.

On the week that it pushed forward with the puberty blockers trial, the government may now rob children of the opportunity to become comfortable in their own bodies.

It includes no exemption for parents. Parents who try to dissuade their children from ‘transitioning’ could be criminalised and put in prison for 5 years.

It further enshrines the notion of ‘transgender identity’ in the law and makes the offence ridiculously broad: “conduct causing someone to believe that they have or do not have a transgender identity”.

It further enshrines the notion of being ‘non-binary’ in the law.

The protection for therapists and other medical professionals is severely lacking, with a test of ‘reasonableness’ created. There is also a low threshold for what constitutes ‘abuse’.

Make no mistake about it, this Bill will criminalising talking. It poses a significant threat to freedom of speech, religious freedoms and to the safeguarding of vulnerable children.

It must not be allowed to become law.

If Vladimir Putin changed the voting system days before an election to stop his opponents winning, every British journalist would call it what it is: rigging the rules.

Tonight, Labour rammed through a last‑minute switch in the Lords so that if Andy Burnham wins Makerfield and quits as Greater Manchester Mayor, his replacement won’t be chosen on a simple first‑past‑the‑post ballot, but on the supplementary vote system instead.

Why now?

Because Labour knows the race to replace Burnham would be a straight two‑horse fight with Reform UK – and under FPTP, the candidate with the most votes wins, no second chances, no back‑room redistributions, no “stop Reform” stitch‑ups.

Under SV, Labour gets a second bite of the cherry: if their candidate can limp into the top two, they can hoover up second preferences from every other party and magic a “majority” on the second count, even if Reform tops the poll on first preferences.

This isn’t “modernising democracy”. It’s the governing party using its Commons majority and the unelected Lords to hurriedly doctor the rules of one specific contest because it’s terrified the voters might choose someone else.

When the establishment preached to the world about “rules‑based order”, they forgot to mention one thing: in Britain, the rules are “based” on whether Labour thinks it might lose.

This is very good piece and begins to approach a central corruption at the heart of much of Britain’s journalism today, which is principally that the journalistic class as a whole asks Brits what they think of a contemporary issue and already have a higher status answer they want to hear but they know they won’t get.

They go and visit for a by-election, do a vox pop, hope for a viral moment with a less articulate member of the public, clip it, ask local politician to respond, clip that, debate it on Sunday political shows, clip that, show that clip to the next member of the public, and the cycle continues in different forms.

Very few journalists want to hear what British people think, or critically, why they think that. When asked why they are of the opinion that migration is too high or why things are too expensive, the average person doesn’t have a fully articulated, sense checked and factually correct answer. So they say something which has to usually be within the Overton Window, and if it’s slightly wrong, the journalist will ‘fact check’ them in real time or post. They don’t really pretend to care about the under-arching ‘why’ question. Why would you then engage with journalists as an ordinary person? The social costs are too high: most people inherently understand they are only one ‘got ya’ question away from losing their job or social standing.

This is not applicable to all journalists, obviously, and is largely a Lobby occurrence. But for a profession that works around humans every single day, I am often struck by how poorly so many of them understand human nature - perhaps because so many of the incentive structures in Westminster are so irregular.

Why are certain MPs, unions & in fact any body who thinks it’s ok to allow men into intimate women’s spaces 👇🏼 cheering this on? Bad men will use bad laws to do bad things. It’s the whole point of safeguarding. This was just one day: over 60% of trans identifying men in prison (MOJ figures) are in prison for sexual assault (male prison population 18%) ..it’s a lie when proponents say males can simply say they are a woman, & it’s so, & this 👇🏼 is what they are insisting we play along with. Stop 🛑 removing our sex based rights. Stop putting the reality of women’s safeguards behind a few confused (or like these, dangerous) men. Laws must be based on facts not feelings. Sport on facts & science. Self professed ‘feelings’ are a perverts or pedophiles dream. Why are those cheering this on so utterly ignorant to this? Where is their basic critical thinking? Women are not support humans for males with a dysphoria (or fetish). We have our own rights. I will never understand women in particular prepared to throw them away after decades of fighting to get them.

A man calling himself "Ms Starshine" gets a job at a children's after school club and within FOUR days he offers to kiss an 11 yr old as a "prize" during a game, then dismisses it as "just banter." He then tried to claim discrimination, because, "trans".

Female pronouns used for this huge fella throughout this story ffs. Tell me again how this ideology isn't about preying on children?

If my kids were at that day centre I'd be pulling them out so fast they'd get whiplash.

The left’s favorite fallacy: They claim right-wingers ‘use’ attacks like this to further our own ends. No. It’s because of attacks like these, that we ARE right-wing. The idea that we are secretly glad it’s happening so we can “further our agenda” is the most absurd thing I’ve ever heard. We want this to stop. We want our people to be safe. And it’s because of leftist policies that they are not.

@divaUTD_ Why Craven Cottage getting bullied ? It’s much better than any stadium in US, nobody cares about your fancy shit and soulless crowds.

[VAR hating reptile @Wolves_Lizard8]

@divaUTD_ This is real beauty. Give me Craven Cottage in the middle of Putney, incredible public transport links, walkable distance from dozens of riverside pubs selling proper pints and grub, over the Dunkin’ Donuts Arena in a soulless retail park any and every day of my life.

[Nicolas 🍋 @Nicopoleides]

@divaUTD_ What is your point? Craven Cottage is the most beautiful stadium in the Prem

[W1ndering Midlander @thew1nderer]

@divaUTD_ Proceeds to post one of the most picturesque stadiums in the country as a negative example.

You lot are truly thick as pig shit.

[Higgy @AFCHiggy]

@divaUTD_ You’re a performative United fan and clearly don’t get it. Craven Cottage is a beautiful stadium on the river thames; it’s literally perfect. It’s got soul, it has character and holds more history in its walls than the entire of the United States.

[David 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 @David_FFC_]

Very satisfying to see Craven Cottage being universally defended against the Americans. We may be the butt of the joke most of the time (Victoria sponge, posh, no fans etc) but when it comes down to it, we're rightfully respected really.

[Hannah @hannahchrstina]

insane to pick Craven Cottage to make your point, has one of the oldest stadiums in English football and a listed building. On the river & regularly included as one of the most beautiful stadiums in the world.

The Bank of England DELIBERATELY FIXED the fake "public vote" to remove ALL historical figures from bank notes & replace them with nature images

Freedom of Information requests by the Telegraph reveal the decision to remove historical figures was based on a "focus group" of a mere 119 people

The Bank LIED because it previously claimed the decision was based on a "public vote".

In truth, however, even this vote was FIXED. Instead of having HISTORY v NATURE, the bank deliberately split the "history" category into 3 sections: historical events, historical figures, architecture & landmarks.

That was the only way that "nature" could win.

However, of course bank notes always combine at least two of those history categories. For example: Churchill & Parliament or Wellington & Waterloo.

The Bank's actions are indefensible and questions should be asked in the House.

The Bank of England has clearly been captured by progressive woke ideology. A visit to the Bank of England with its permanent exhibition on slavery makes that clear

This is part of the wider war on British history. It's an attempt to create a NEW BRITAIN, based on ridiculous myths that "Diversity Built Britain" and that Britain has always been multicultural.

Remember: the Bank of England issued a 50p coin (held aloft by Rishi Sunak) which was imprinted with the nonsensical statement: "Diversity Built Britain"

Anyone who lived behind the Iron Curtain will find all of this eerily and scarily familiar.

The pulling down of statues, the renaming of streets and schools, the rewriting of history, denigrating heroes, changing bank notes etc....these were all tactics of the communists.

Severing the connection between a people and their history is the best way to demoralise a society and prepare them for the imposition of new myths.

I’m pretty sure that when Henry Nowak’s father said he did not want his son’s death to create more division, he did not mean: “I want left-wing politicians and commentators to weaponise my grief to shut down debate.”

Yet that is exactly what is happening. It’s disgusting to see his words misappropriated as a political battering ram, used to attack anyone who asks difficult questions about the way Henry was treated, and about the anti-white ideology explicitly codified in the public sector.

Mr Nowak also said that the police treatment of his dying son was “inhumane and degrading”.

We should make sure no other British child is treated the way Henry was.

[Jordan Tyldesley @PippyBing]

The core part of the Henry Nowak murder (the part we must not forget and must seriously engage with) is that his killer and family instinctively thought to fabricate a racism narrative because they knew it would give them an immediate advantage and invert the roles at the scene. And it worked exactly as calculated.

It has struck a raw nerve because it makes visible in the most repulsive way imaginable what many have long sensed, that accusations of racism have become a powerful, paralysing force in modern Britain eventually leading to a dying boy being sidelined while the system instinctively prioritised accusations of racism.

[Sam Ashworth-Hayes @SAshworthHayes]

"Politicising" an event is just code for "drawing conclusions we don't like".

What you're meant to do is pretend this stuff is lightning from a clear blue sky, freak happenstance, and that it all just shows how diversity is our real strength. Not point out that our approach to managing the costs of that diversity led police to handcuff an innocent, dying man begging for help.
