When transactivists tell us grown men are being traumatised by being told to use the male toilet,
tell them about the little school girls in Scotland made to use what amounts to period huts because councils thought girl-only toilets might hurt boys' feelings.

The unself-conscious misogyny of the gender loons knows no bounds.

@sharrond62 Thank you @sharrond62 and @SexMattersOrg for inviting us and for all your support for our report.

Schools and leaders of sports governing bodies should read it and update their policies to restore safe and fair sport to women & girls - or risk legal action from @wsusportsunion!

Happy ffriday, crackerjack! Busy week, great reports out on why women & girls must retain their sex based sports by Sex Matters yesterday & Seen in Sport today. Question in chamber on how we keep sports women safe from men in their sports & meetings with legal teams for us at WSU

[maggie mellon @maggiemellon]

@hightreebud @kathmurray1 @LoveWestLothian Unbelievable that girls under 12 years old dealing with menstruation for the first time were required to go to separate toilets - and @LoveWestLothian thought this was a price girls had to pay for their utter folly in building mixed sex toilets blocks with no privacy for girls

🚨(1)BREAKING: Christian community police officer wins settlement after being forced out of his role for questioning and criticising Islam during diversity training.

Luke Salmons, who has been supported by the Christian Legal Centre, was suspended for six months, forced to resign and put on a police barring list after he had questioned radical Islam in a training session.

He had been told that the session was a 'safe place' for discussion, but after expressing his beliefs, the consequences were devastating.

After taking legal action, his case has now been settled on confidential terms, however his story raises serious concerns about free speech and religious freedom in UK policing.

I assume that this is the work of a group of pronouned people known as Trans in the City. I had been told they were a powerful collective but did not imagine they had the ability to warp the thinking of serious people in the City.
I had expected greater resolve; less timidity.

So trans identified men refuse to be ‘outed’ by using third spaces or the men’s toilets, but menstruating girls can go to a special period toilet? Who sits in the meetings where this kind of misogyny goes unnoticed and ideas like this are rubber stamped?

[Danny Shaw @DannyShawNews]

NEW. The woman who was strangled, beaten and raped by Paul Quinn in Salford in 2003 is a "hero", said Mr Justice Bright.

His remarks at the start of the sentencing hearing at Manchester Crown Court must be read. I don't think I've read anything like them before from a judge in a Crown Court:

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

Unfortunately, the Russian side once again chooses war – everyone heard the response today. Weak response. He simply does not want to end the war.

I think many around the world were disappointed by that response. He does not want to change anything, and he does not want to admit that this war appeals only to him – and to those who are making money off him. They were all smiling very broadly today.

That means Russia must have less money, and there must be more pressure on Russia.

I thank everyone who is helping us. I thank everyone who stands with Ukraine and wants a real peace.

The residents of Auchtertool in Fife are campaigning against a monster AI data centre that is being proposed to be situated right next to their scenic village.

Just look at the size of this monstrosity. The 61-acre site features six AI data halls rising up to 35 metres high. It dwarfs the neighbouring village of Auchtertool. Imagine living next to this?

The proposed data centre is one of the biggest in the world - bigger than their village. And it’s estimated that the 600MW energy consumption with be 20% of Scotland entire energy consumption. It’s also being situated on beautiful countryside. Fife Council haven’t published an environmental impact report.

The development would sit directly on scenic countryside, build directly over the historic ruins of Halyard's Castle, and threaten the adjacent Auchtertool Linn Wildlife Site. Recent planning portal filings reveal the data centre site would be secured by invisible infra-red lighting and 3-metre fencing topped with trident spikes.

This campaign to stop this AI data centre monstrosity in Fife is now receiving huge amounts of media and social media coverage. For once, people power can defeat tech corporations power if this campaign continues to be amplified.

This is a big issue. Not just for Auchtertool, not just for Fife, not just for Scotland but for the world and we have to make a stand against the huge environmental and energy and water supply risks caused by these AI data centres.

In Ireland data centres energy demand has put unprecedented strain on the grid. A moratorium on new data centre construction was put in place in 2021 due to fears of blackouts which was only eased last year. This energy crisis in Ireland happened with 22% of Ireland’s energy (2025 figures) used by data centres. The energy demands of the Auchtertool hyperscale data centre alone would take Scotland’s data centre energy demand to this level.  

The total demand for energy from data centres in Scotland’s planning system is now 6,200MW and plans for six sites that haven’t reached planning stage yet, which would take the total to over 11,000MW, nearly three times the amount of Scotland’s winter peak demand.

Also, rising energy prices: In the USA, energy prices have soared due to the infrastructure that has had to be built to support the energy demands of hyperscale data centres. Bloomberg has reported that prices soared by up to 267% more in areas with data centres.

It’s time for governments to put the concerns of the public before the profit margins of tech billionaires.

[Feargal Sharkey @Feargal_Sharkey]

The idea that in recent days whole towns and villages were blatantly, deliberately cut off from the public water supply because water companies haven't invested in enough equipment to treat and supply water is utter madness.

[James Davis @jamesdavis6939]

Thank you @SportSEENuk and everyone who contributed for this outstanding report. I’m proud of my running achievements, and I want women and girls to have the same opportunities as I have in sports. I speak up because this means a lot to me, I can’t stay quiet.

Took my 11-year-old daughter to a checkup today.
The nurse asked me to step out of the room.
I politely said no.
She said, "It's only for a moment."
I replied:
"My husband and I don't leave our children alone with anyone, including medical providers. Anything you need to say can be said with me here."
She looked annoyed and left.
The part that stuck with me?
As soon as she walked out, my daughter thanked me for staying.
Her eyes got huge the moment the nurse asked me to leave.
Maybe I'm overprotective.
But I'd rather be present and unnecessary than absent and regret it.
