Excellent coaching insight from coaching assistant Anthony Barry on Englands failings at HT. #england

@GeraintThomas86 Excellent! Looking forward to seeing you in the Pyrenees mate.

Imagine being such a coward you can only muster the courage to tell the truth once the Supreme Court has ruled on what the truth is.

[J.K. Rowling @jk_rowling]

It took three extraordinary, tenacious Scottish women with an army behind them to get this case heard by the Supreme Court and, in winning, they’ve protected the rights of women and girls across the UK. @ForWomenScot, I’m so proud to know you 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿💜🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿💚🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🤍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Somehow this 1979 clip from Monty Python’s Life of Brian perfectly reflects the insanity of gender ideology in 2024, when pointing out biological reality is viewed as “oppression.”

Yes, we are actually living in a Monty Python sketch.

@orange @Orange_conseil @orange I replied with my details to @orange_ consiel and they failed to help and just redirected me to Movistar. This is poor customer service I’m afraid when it was YOUR SIM card I purchased.

[Simon Hurford @Nashtownboy]

Hey @orange why isn’t my 100GB holiday France SIM card giving me access to internet data in Spain?

At the start of my career leading Cav out was a joy. A fellow Brit, changing the landscape of cycling. To see what he did today, 16 years after his first Tour stage, is almost unbelievable. But, it’s Cav. Nothing’s unbelievable. Congrats mate. They don’t call you Sir for nothing

[Chris Boardman CBE @Chris_Boardman]

I don’t normally get involved in calling out headlines but it’s just getting bonkers.

If this was directed at a gender, race or religion it would be rightly called out as the hate speech it is. Mums, dads, sons and daughters being labelled as killers. It’s just got to stop.

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.

If you agree with the views set out in this tweet, please retweet it.

Female-only support services can be life saving for women who've suffered domestic abuse and sexual violence. This report exposes the current silencing of sector leaders and the dire consequences for victims.

@Nigel_Farage Nigel you are starting to sound ridiculous now. Not one piece of evidence of US voter fraud has been produced let alone the thousands of cases to show this has swung the election. #soreloser
