On a beach in West Africa the fishermen now haul in more clothes than fish, and the clothes have your charity shop's label on them.

The beach is in Accra, the capital of Ghana. A mile inland is Kantamanto, the biggest second-hand clothes market on earth. Every week about 15 million garments arrive there in bales, from Britain, Canada, China and America. Most of what you drop in a clothing bank ends up on its way to a place like this.

The locals have a name for the trade. Obroni Wawu. It means dead white man's clothes, because nobody could imagine a living person giving away so much.

The traders open the bales and sort them. 40 years ago nearly everything sold. Now about 40% of every bale is rubbish before it leaves the market, because the garments were built to be worn 5 times. That is 6 million pieces of clothing a week with nowhere to go.

The city collects what it can. The rest goes into the gutters, the lagoon and the sea.

Then it comes back. The waves roll the clothes together into ropes of knotted polyester as long as a boat, and the beach monitors who count them have a word for those too. Tentacles. They logged 2,344 of them along 4 miles of shore in one year. Fishermen's nets come up full of trousers. Propellers foul on them. Men have had their canoes capsized by somebody's old leggings.

A fishing community cannot fish, because of what the rest of the world was too virtuous to throw in its own bin.

When those clothes were wool and cotton they would have rotted on that beach in a season. Instead they are becoming the coastline.

It's great that the BBC are doing a documentary to expose what an evil bigot JK Rowling is, but I do worry that they might mess it up and accidentally reveal that her 'extreme' views are the same views held by every sane adult ever born.

Ronson says Linehan lost “polite, mannered civility” and Theroux says Graham had “some sort of mental health emergency”
These two men protected their careers while children were castrated and women terrorised by transvestites
They have no moral authority

It’s annoying when TRAs say “how are you going to monitor toilets? How will you know if a trans woman is using it?”

Thats the point. We shouldn’t have to monitor it. Biological men should just STOP using female spaces in the first place? Good men stay out, so bad men stand out

Or you could say NHS to place all males on male wards

@BevJacksonAuth You were fab, Bev, and I will be using your analogy of vegans being forcibly teamed to chicken farmers for years to come.

[Issilly Jones @IssillyJ]

@ProfAliceS Glad to know that you’re involved and will bring good sense to bear.

[Issilly Jones @IssillyJ]

@ToniaAntoniazzi India yet again demonstrating that he thinks in sex stereotypes. Woman=long blonde hair, make-up and skirts. Man= short hair and trousers. Is he intellectually challenged or a Victorian relic?

[Issilly Jones @IssillyJ]

@salltweets @JustMisogyny She’s a famous lesbian who has never voiced support for GC women and lesbians and has publicly supported Nicola Sturgeon. In refusing to stand for women against the misogynists she’s allied herself with gender ideology and men. There is no coming back from this. We never forget.

5/ I do hope @GoodLawProject aren’t suggesting people should part with money on the basis that there are reasonable prospects of this case about defunct guidance getting to the European Court of Human Rights, when they haven’t even got permission for the Court of Appeal /END

No. Seeing *Harry Potter Christmas lights* is NOT the same as seeing your sexual abuser.

“If Mr Corbett really wants to sort out misogyny, maybe he could start by working on himself.

“We know from bitter experience that the ‘protection’ of such men comes at the expense of women, who are forced to cede safety, privacy, and dignity.”

Trust in the BBC has collapsed so much it was -apparently- unable to secure an interview with @jk_rowling the most famous living British author; for a series about her. That's what happens when you spend a decade spreading Stonewall misinformation.
