So sorry to learn of Ann Widdecombe’s death We were on opposite sides on the hunt ban but we became co -campaigners to Leave the EU and more recently against the Windsor Framework Her speech as a staunch Roman Catholic in Dromore Orange Hall was met by a standing ovation We just don’t make outspoken principled politicians like her anymore
A sad day
Canada gave its citizens the right to die. Ten years later, doctors are struggling to keep up with the demand. My story for the September issue of @TheAtlantic: https://t.co/UyizcvsILO
The BBC calls a male neo-Nazi ‘she’, because their absolutist belief in gender identity ideology means any man - rapist, voyeur, terrorist, murderer or paedophile - must be described as a woman the moment he says he’s one. https://t.co/NfTKo5PkSJ
The women of California stand in solidarity with the women of Scotland.
To abandon facts is to abandon freedom. If nothing is true, then no one can criticize power, b/c there is no basis upon which to do so.
We’ve been reported to the police for a hate crime b/c we held a “protect female sports” banner. So far the 1st amendment still applies, but it feels tenuous.

Only kidding. Obviously, the people mentioned in the above tweets aren't women at all, but men, every last one of them.
In passing the Scottish Hate Crime Act, Scottish lawmakers seem to have placed higher value on the feelings of men performing their idea of femaleness, however misogynistically or opportunistically, than on the rights and freedoms of actual women and girls. The new legislation is wide open to abuse by activists who wish to silence those of us speaking out about the dangers of eliminating women's and girls’ single-sex spaces, the nonsense made of crime data if violent and sexual assaults committed by men are recorded as female crimes, the grotesque unfairness of allowing males to compete in female sports, the injustice of women’s jobs, honours and opportunities being taken by trans-identified men, and the reality and immutability of biological sex.
For several years now, Scottish women have been pressured by their government and members of the police force to deny the evidence of their eyes and ears, repudiate biological facts and embrace a neo-religious concept of gender that is unprovable and untestable. The re-definition of 'woman' to include every man who declares himself one has already had serious consequences for women's and girls’ rights and safety in Scotland, with the strongest impact felt, as ever, by the most vulnerable, including female prisoners and rape survivors.
It is impossible to accurately describe or tackle the reality of violence and sexual violence committed against women and girls, or address the current assault on women’s and girls’ rights, unless we are allowed to call a man a man. Freedom of speech and belief are at an end in Scotland if the accurate description of biological sex is deemed criminal.
I'm currently out of the country, but if what I've written here qualifies as an offence under the terms of the new act, I look forward to being arrested when I return to the birthplace of the Scottish Enlightenment.

Let’s enjoy the wonder of acceptance, the invitation to draw near & even the experience of God’s love, but don’t drift into the sentimental imagination of overfamiliarity.

Very important that the West — and especially the media — doesn’t get all hyperbolic and hysterical over Medvedev’s threat that Russia could use nukes if Ukraine offensive a success. Because that’s precisely what it’s designed to do.
