This Orwellian named “conversion therapy ban” will make criminals of parents or doctors who try to suggest to children that puberty blockers and radical surgery might not be a good idea. This is grotesque gay conversion legislation. It will be Labour’s section 28.
Isle of Man estate agents are reporting “unusually high levels of interest from UK-based purchasers relocating," with many citing the UK's extortionate inheritance tax system as the reason.
That's not too surprising as the Isle of Man doesn't have an inheritance tax nor a capital gains tax & the top rate of income tax is 21%. Tyson Fury is one of the more high-profile individuals to have moved there recently.
“Food security”, for Labour and bodies like the CCC, does not mean preserving Britain’s ability to produce the food people currently eat.
It means redefining our national diet and managing demand down, especially for meat and dairy, then calling the reduced system secure because it meets a lower, politically engineered level of consumption. That is not food security as most people understand it. It is demand reduction cynically reframed as national resilience and security.

The same government now demanding digital ID to enter websites just proved it can’t guard the identity documents it already holds.

This is what is happening in the brain of an 11-year old.
It is furiously building and shaping itself.
In synaptogenesis, one million new neural connections are formed per second.
This process goes on for decades.
This is why children are stupid and impulsive and why they do stupid and impulsive things.
Their brains are not yet 'finished'.
PBs derail the natural and essential process of building, shaping, pruning and laying down the fatty coating around neve sheaths.
So yes @CPhilpOfficial you are correct.
Deliberately interfering with this process is a novel and horrific form of child abuse.
The Labour government is allowing open human experimentation.
On children.

We were quoted £22,000 for the transcript of my daughter’s rape trial.
When she told friends about the questioning they didn’t believe her. When she told us we didn’t believe her. No one believed her but when we obtained the transcript of her cross-examination we saw that she hadn’t been exaggerating.
Knowing we all now know the truth has helped her to heal. I dread to think where she’d be now without this information.
I cannot help but reflect on what it says about our criminal justice system that campaigns have to be organised to secure free court transcripts. This issue is not just about cost. It touches on openness, fairness, accountability and access to justice.
Thanks @OpenJustice4All for your constant push and @MYH_ldn for composing a letter everyone can use.
They took NHS patient data.
They cut up each person's record and spliced it with other people's records to make imaginary, patchwork patients.
They then pretended that these patchwork patients could produce useful research data.
Garbage in.
Dangerous garbage out.
Somalia has the highest rate of female genital mutilation in the world, and it's usually the severe "infibulation" form. The clitoris is removed and the vagina is sewn closed. They do this to reduce sexual desire. It gets opened and closed back up after each child, and the tightness of the hole left open is intended to maximise male sexual pleasure.
Céad míle fáilte!
We now have documentation that COVID was fabricated in the Wuhan bioweapons lab under the funding and direction of Anthony Fauci. High ranking Democrats up to and including Joseph Biden engaged in a criminal coverup that killed and crippled millions. Where are the tribunals?
Let’s have a trial to see if this experimental drug really sterilises and eradicates the sexual function of a human for life…. And let’s do it to eleven year olds.

Oops.
So not only do they cost 10 times more than gas boilers to install, they cost more to run too!
Why would any sane person even think of having one?

Most people are obsessing over Andy Burnham and the Labour leadership. But while we are distracted by the high drama, Parliament will hold a brief debate this Wednesday on the Seventh Carbon Budget, a key milestone for Net Zero. This is good news for Ed Miliband!
As the Environmental Audit Committee has said, the “low-hanging fruit” of decarbonisation has largely been exhausted. The next stage of Net Zero now demands far more intrusive intervention into areas left largely untouched, including homes, aviation, shipping, food and farming, everyday behaviour, and what remains of our industry.
Miliband and Labour will claim they have a mandate to do all of this. But, as with the Tories in 2019, that claim rests on a fiction.
Net Zero is not what most ordinary people think it means. There is a fundamental mismatch between what voters thought they were endorsing and what the governing class actually signed them up to.
Most people assumed Net Zero meant replacing existing sources of energy with cleaner, cheaper and more secure alternatives, while broadly preserving the existing economy and way of life. It is often conflated with conservationism.
The first major difference in understanding is philosophical.
Under the old Kyoto framework, the implicit logic was equal per capita convergence. Britain would reduce emissions because its emissions per person were above the global average, but the objective was broadly to converge towards a common level. The burden was proportional.
But the CCC explicitly rejected that approach in its May 2019 advice on page 19. It argued that an equal per capita share would not be aligned with the Paris Agreement, which should be implemented according to equity. Under this new framework, countries with high historical emissions and allegedly greater wealth are expected to do more than their proportional share. Net Zero by 2050 was therefore an expression of a moral judgement that Britain should decarbonise faster and further than many competitors. This is what “climate leadership” means.
The second difference concerns how to get there. Most people think Net Zero means electrification. But that is not the argument the CCC made in 2019. Electrification is only one part of a much broader programme. The CCC’s own scenarios begin with reducing demand. They envisage changes in consumption, diets with less beef, lamb and dairy, the repurposing of farming, countryside and land use, and hard constraints on sectors such as aviation and shipping because technology alone cannot eliminate emissions.
To be clear, the objective is not simply to supply today’s economy with “cleaner” energy. It is to reshape the entire British economy and society so that it fits within a statutory Net Zero emissions constraint.
This is why Net Zero has always suffered from a legitimacy problem. The public were sold a cleaner version of the existing model. But Westminster signed them up to something very different.
Parliament should therefore reject the Seventh Carbon Budget. MPs should not rubber stamp another milestone in a project whose implications have never been honestly debated with the country.
The UK’s puberty blocker trial is a textbook example of what Dr. Harriet Hall called Tooth Fairy Science: research conducted on a phenomenon without ever questioning whether the phenomenon exists.
Hall explained that researchers could collect data that are reproducible and statistically significant on how much money the Tooth Fairy leaves, which coins she prefers, whether she pays more for molars, or when the child leaves a note — but without asking whether the Tooth Fairy exists, the entire endeavour is meaningless.
Over the next three years and beyond, the NHS will medicalise “trans kids” and meticulously gather data on bone density, the psychological effects of puberty suppression, and body-image satisfaction.
But all the results will be meaningless because they’re studying something that doesn’t exist.
Ethical research would begin at the same place, with the young person’s adoption of a transgender identity and the diagnosis of “gender incongruence,” but it would travel in the opposite direction.
Instead of accepting a culturally-influenced identity as a condition in need of medical treatment, meaningful research would investigate what ordinary developmental struggles are being misread by so many young people growing up in this era saturated with the messaging of trans activism.
It would investigate which cultural messages are disrupting identity formation and distorting the adolescent’s sense of self, driving the widespread adoption of this fashionable identity.
Studying "trans kids" and "children with gender incongruence" is as pointless as studying the Tooth Fairy.
Any politician who thinks they can just quietly nod this one through I say this:
Be ready for the inevitable Judge led inquiry in say 10 years where the children badly and permanently injured by this policy face you across a courtroom to point out You knew the harms
Be warned
