I see that Stella Creasy is accusing me of leading a pitchfork mob against her, because I opined that she is less likeable and more hypocritical than the wild parakeet she mistook for an escaped pet.

For those who don’t know, Creasy is an elected politician and self-proclaimed ‘old-fashioned feminist’ who is ‘still fighting the patriarchy’. She’s more than once publicly defined herself against me (and my reaction was not to accuse her of leading a mob, even though I was probably averaging a dozen death threats a day at the point when the article below appeared.)

I thought it might be instructive for those of us who don’t share Creasy’s brand of ‘feminism’ to examine her campaigning record, so we can learn to do better.

Creasy wants women admitted to the male-only, exclusive, London-based private members Garrick Club, a change that would benefit rather privileged women like Creasy. Creasy is a mother who wants better accommodations for working mothers, a change that would benefit Creasy. Creasy takes selfies at a men-only Muslim march because that reminds everyone how non-racist she is, which benefits Creasy. Creasy asserts that ‘trans women are women’, which keeps her in good odour with her party’s most aggressive activists, and benefits Creasy.

However, keeping cross-dressing heterosexual men out of nurses’ changing rooms doesn’t benefit Creasy, because Creasy has never had to mop up other people’s piss, blood and vomit at work. Challenging the notion that a male basketball player becomes a girl if he says he is doesn’t benefit Creasy, who has no sporting ambitions. Speaking up against the patriarchy as practised by non-white men doesn’t benefit Creasy, who wants those selfie-opportunities. Criticising an ideological movement that persecutes, harasses and openly threatens women who don’t believe some women have penises wouldn't benefit Creasy, because she's already fully-signed up to self-id, where any man who says he's a woman must be taken at his word.

As the late Gloria Steinem said: ‘“Feminism has never been about getting a job for one woman. It's about making life more fair for women everywhere.’

Creasy the patriarchy-challenger is provably more than happy to cosy up to men and misogynist movements when it suits her public profile and career advancement, no matter the harms those men might be causing less privileged women. By Steinem’s definition, what Stella espouses is not feminism, but Creasyism, and I suggest the emblem for this brave new rights movement should be an indignant parakeet with severely ruffled feathers.

Unbelievable

[Kelvin MacKenzie @kelvmackenzie]

This is a shocker. A mother of three from Gaza who came to the UK as a refugee has just won a human rights challenge to bring in 18, yes18, of her relatives - both parents, a brother, his wife and four children, a sister and her four children and another sister, her husband and their three children.
None of them speak English and the mother only has room to house her parents with the rest taking up social housing away from British families.
Not to mention the the cost of the 18 filling our schools and NHS clinics.
Plus the signal it gives tens of thousands of Palestinian families that the UK courts are an easy touch and they should head here.
Another bloody awful and costly decision by our courts. Labour won’t do anything about it as they look on the people as Labour voters of the future.

Great to see @JudyMurray also speak up against the incompetent LTA. The LTA clearly have a system that's not working, they are not investing in club Tennis and haven't built enough indoor courts or maintained existing courts, especially grass courts.

Wholesale changes needed!

[Stephen Pollard @stephenpollard]

Here's my @Telegraph column, 'Zack Polanski wants a Jew register. What could be more sinister than that?'

https://t.co/l1z6YW44ez

I’ll say one thing for Zack Polanski: he knows a winning strategy when he sees one. When he became leader of the Greens last September, he spotted straight away that the secret to boosting the party’s poll ratings – and thus electoral success – was straightforward. Dump the green stuff and focus on Gaza.

There was a ready-made group of voters for whom Gaza is the only issue that really matters, waiting to be courted by any party which turned itself into the anti-Israel train. That group fell into the Greens’ arms when Polanski arrived on the scene.

He has been masterly in his care of them, not least in his skilful elision of being anti-Israel with being Jewish himself. It provides a much-used “get out of jail free card” when the Greens’ professed anti-Zionism slips into accusations of barely disguised anti-Semitism.

But even by Polanski’s standards, his demand that any dual British-Israeli citizen who has fought for Israel against Hamas in Gaza has their name listed on a database – a list, in other words, of bad Jews – is breathtakingly blatant.

The Green leader has signed an open letter sent to Home Secretary, Shabana Mahmood, and Foreign Secretary, Yvette Cooper, which calls on the Government to act in the name of “public safety and justice” to “track the movements of Brits who have served in the IDF” and “subject them to secondary screening where necessary at ports of entry”. Britons, that is, who just happen to be Jews.

Israel has national service, and all Israeli citizens (with the exception – which is deeply controversial in Israel – of some religious groups) are conscripted to the IDF at 18. Many have been called up as reservists when they are older.

Polanski is thus calling for a large proportion of British-Israeli dual citizens to be listed on a database. “Nobody wants to live next to a potential war criminal,” the letter organised by campaign group Declassified UK states. Presumably then, Polanski wishes to refuse entry to or deport any British-Israeli who has served in the IDF.

You will notice one obvious element to this demand. There are wars on every continent. There are accusations of war crimes in all those conflicts. But Polanski has said not a word about British dual citizens – or even those of sole UK nationality – who have fought in any of those wars, either ongoing or historic.

I wait, for example, for Polanski to demand a list of dual-nationality Britons who fought in one of the most brutal post-1945 conflicts, the 1971 Bangladesh war of independence. The nine-month conflict led to the death of up to three million Bengalis and the displacement of 10 million refugees into India.

This is not merely historic. War crime investigations are still going on. But no Israelis were involved (let’s be honest: no Jews). So Polanski is silent – not least because many new Green voters are drawn from those communities.

By signing the letter, Polanski doesn’t only demand that Britons who have fought in Gaza be put on a database. He goes far beyond that. The letter calls says “travellers with Israeli travel documents or arriving from an origin of Tel Aviv airport” should be subject to “potential secondary screenings at ports of entry”. For Polanski then, any Israeli should be marked out for special screening.

As for the allegation of genocide against Israel, it is, at the very least, hotly contested. But there is a well-founded allegation of genocide against the Chinese in its treatment of the Uyghurs. Does Polanski demand that any Chinese national arriving in the UK is deemed a suspected war criminal? Of course he doesn’t.

If Jews aren’t involved, neither Polanski nor any of his fellow Greens could give a damn. Polanski may be Jewish, but his party’s strategy could hardly be clearer.

[Paul Embery @PaulEmbery]

Was it wrong to “politicise” the Stephen Lawrence murder? Or that of George Floyd? What does the word “politicise” even mean in that context? Don’t tell me that it is right to “rage against the machine” when state authorities fail black murder victims for reasons connected with race, but that we are obliged not to “stir up tensions” when the victim happens to be white. It is this two-tier approach that is fuelling tensions and division. Can the establishment not see it?

Scary

[Rafe Heydel-Mankoo @RafHM]

Of the 45,000 people on MI5's terror watch list, over 90% are jihadis

That's larger than the entire size of Hamas on Oct 7

and it's larger than the ISIS army that launched its Iraq offensive in 2014

It’s half the size of the full-time British Army

By 2050, the MI5 terror watch list could be larger than the British Army

If those stats aren't alarming enough, polling shows that (at least) 9% of UK Muslims admit to being jihadis, extremists or supporters of terrorism

9% of the UK Muslim population is approx. 350,000 - 400,000 people

As the Muslim population rises, this figures could double in the next two decades

Yes, of course many Muslims are well adjusted and integrated. That's to be celebrated. But we must not pretend - as our political and media class pretend - that extremist views are only held by a tiny "fringe minority"

A sizable percentage - hundreds of thousands or more - hold views, attitudes and beliefs that are abhorrent to our society and our way of life

Our politicians cannot keep their heads in the sand

The first duty of any state is to protect its people, territory and interests from both external and internal threats.

The Government’s commitment to increase defence spending to 2.5% - 5% of GDP shows it recognises the growing threats we face from ABROAD

But I would argue the DOMESTIC threat to national security is at least as great as any external threat

Indeed, based on population growth projections, the domestic threat may be far greater

To put it bluntly: unless action is taken soon, we are facing a demographic time bomb

Yet Labour refuses to acknowledge any of this. I can't think of a more serious dereliction of duty.

A brilliant forensic demolition of gender ideologues ❤️

[J.K. Rowling @jk_rowling]

The Sandie Peggie employment tribunal is currently exposing, as perhaps no court case to date has, the issue of class as it relates to the top-down imposition of gender identity ideology in the workplace.

'Diversity officer' Isla Bumba has now admitted in court that she didn't bother consulting the 1992 regulations guaranteeing single-sex spaces when she told a trans-identified male, Dr Beth Upton, to use the female changing room at the hospital where he was working. Bumba justified this decision with comments that I assume sounded really clever and convincing, inside her own head.

'I don’t know anything about Beth’s body. I didn’t at the time. I don’t now. I don’t need to know. But it wouldn’t be something that I would ever have the information of exactly what she is made of, biologically.'

Kate Searle, a consultant in emergency medicine, backed Bumba up, expressing outrage on the witness stand that anyone would be so insensitive as to ask about Upton's chromosomes.

‘I could only imagine how upsetting and invasive a question that would be for Beth, and also not relevant to a colleague to ask another colleague. Beth identifies as female, and it does not matter what her chromosomes are to her.’

In Bumba and Searle's world, a belief that gender identity trumps biological sex is proof you're intellectually and morally superior to women like Sandie Peggie, so I'd imagine it's come as a shock to discover, in a blaze of public and press scrutiny, just how idiotic and cruel they appear to people outside their dinner party circle.

When Upton, a 6' tall, 28-year-old ex-rugby playing male, claimed that a petite 50-year-old female nurse was making him feel 'unsafe', his word appears to have been taken as gospel. Searle, Bumba and management fell over themselves to coddle the middle-class doctor who shared their voguish post-modern views on gender. What did Sandie matter? She's just one of those ghastly uninformed bigots who still thinks sex is real and important - so embarrassingly gauche and simplistic! Whisper it - she probably drinks red wine with chicken, too.

According to @tribunaltweets, an emotional Searle blurted out on the stand 'I am kind.' This is not something genuinely kind people need to say. Genuinely kind people don't find themselves compelled to explain in court why they helped whip up a witch-hunt against a woman whose only crime was wanting to change her clothes without a man watching.

Well, the nurse who was supposed to shuffle off in disgrace wasn't having it. Sandie Peggie refused to be sacrificed on the altar of elitist ideologues who believe themselves to be higher and better than she is. She fought back, for herself and for every other woman who's currently being silenced, persecuted and punished by a smug management class that preens itself on its virtue while imposing rampantly misogynistic policies on its workforce.

Sandie Peggie is a heroine. The woman NHS Fife thought they could treat abominably without any consequences to themselves has succeeded in shining the brightest spotlight yet upon the brain rot and compassion deficit suffered by supposedly intelligent people when they embrace gender identity ideology. Women everywhere owe her a debt of thanks. Whatever the outcome of this tribunal, Sandie Peggie has already won.

[Paul Embery @PaulEmbery]

Lots of activists on the left don't usually give a stuff about crime and its impact in our communities, or the general weakness of our justice system. Except when it comes to a mother who posts a nasty tweet. Then they become real "hang 'em, flog 'em" types. How very brave.

[Gillian Boyle @Gilly_boyle]

[Rupert Lowe MP @RupertLowe10]

Let's be clear on what happened yesterday - Labour announced a £10 million package to investigate the rape gangs. £10 million. It's pathetic, it's insulting.

Why have they done this? Politics. Labour know their position couldn't work, so they've had to give just enough to look like they're doing something.

It means nothing and nothing has changed. Don't fall for it.

£10 million. Let's make some comparisons...

The foreign aid budget to Pakistan for the financial year 2023/24 was £41.54 million. This year? £133 million.

£500 million has been handed to foreign farmers in aid...

£8 million A DAY is spent on housing illegal migrants in hotels. A DAY!

£10 million to help bring justice for thousands of raped and abused girls is NOTHING.

It's set to take place in just FIVE areas. It's estimated that these gangs have been operating in FIFTY towns/cities. Likely more...

I will say it again.

There needs to be a FULL, FREE, and FAIR national inquiry. And we need DATA.

I asked in Parliament yesterday, again. On court transcripts, deportations, nationality breakdown, reoffences, releases and more. How many answers? ZERO.

It's a cover up. It has been for decades, and it continues even now.
