🧵Once more Nicola Sturgeon is impuning a dead man who cannot defend himself. The Alex Salmond I knew worked hard and had fantastic grasp of detail. The reality is that Nicola was responsible for the much criticised white paper just as 1/2
Jeremy Clarkson says his cows have TB.
Again.
He also claims to have already killed the badgers on his farm. So what now?
This is the ugly truth about bovine TB that the government and the farming lobby don’t want to admit: killing badgers doesn’t work.
For over a decade, tens of thousands of badgers have been shot, trapped, and slaughtered across England in a cruel, unscientific cull — justified on the promise that it would reduce TB in cattle.
But here we are. 2025. Clarkson’s cows have TB. The badgers are already dead. The infection is still spreading.
Why? Because this was never about solving TB. It was about blame.
The reality is:
•Most bovine TB spreads from cow to cow, not badger to cow.
•Cattle testing is outdated, unreliable, and misses infected animals.
•Long-distance cattle movements across the country continue, unchecked.
•Biosecurity is ignored while wildlife takes the fall.
Clarkson isn’t an anomaly. He’s the symptom of a broken system — one where farmers are encouraged to kill wildlife instead of fix the real problem.
We don’t need more culling. We need truth, science, and compassion.
🦡 End the badger cull. Fix the system
CAR FINANCE DO NOT DO ANYTHING NOW. DO NOT SIGN UP TO A CLAIMS FIRM. PLEASE SHARE.
My suspicion is the FCA will within weeks announce consultation on a redress scheme for discretionary commission cases. You may not even have to claim it ,could be automatic. And with excessive commissions I suspect more guidance will come on that at a similar time.
If you sign up to a claims firm now, you may have to give it a cut even if it does nothing. So just sit on your hands for now.

Glad you’ve all enjoyed this win. Yes we could have taken them for some money over time, but we went for the fun way. Quick, squirmy and humiliating. We told them the wording required, where to put it and before 5pm. Glad it made you all feel good. That’s the best bit. @LightninLex
🚨 Further Statement Regarding My High Court Victory VS CC Vanessa Jardine And Northumbria Police 🚨
Today I have instructed my solicitors to write to the Chief Constable of Northumbria Police to threaten further legal action if she authorises officers to visibly participate in Northern Pride 2025. Despite a clear and damning judgment of her decision to authorise officers to participate in Pride 2024 she has authorised off-duty officers wearing T-shirts that show they are officers to participate in Pride 2025. This is plainly unlawful and I will take legal action if she does not rescind that authorisation. Her public statements in the light of the ruling show a complete absence of reflection on a judgement that was highly critical of her deeply flawed decision regarding Pride 2024 – a decision that caused her and her officers to breach their professional duties. It would appear that she and the Northumbria force have been completely captured by a controversial political campaign.
The Police are NOT above the law.
Women being locked up with men is a human rights violation. Vulnerable women being forced to agree that a man is a woman is a human rights violation. A surgically altered man is not a ‘fully anatomical woman.’ Saying these things is not hate, but truth.
@vonderleyen That flag represents child mutilation and sterilisation, conversion therapy, the destruction of women's rights, and the elevation of male perversion.
@AldiUK I've asked this on Facebook and can't get an answer. Can you please get me a list of all dairy products you sell that are produced from cows that have been fed bovaer
What is it that some of the media don’t get… women’s sport is not a crutch for mediocre sports men. Women & girls sport is for women & girls. It’s ridiculously simple. And absolutely not complicated.
In light of recent open letters from academia and the arts criticising the UK's Supreme Court ruling on sex-based rights, it's possibly worth remembering that nobody sane believes, or has ever believed, that humans can change sex, or that binary sex isn't a material fact. These letters do nothing but remind us of what we know only too well: that pretending to believe these things has become an elitist badge of virtue.
I often wonder whether the signatories of such letters have to quieten their consciences before publicly boosting a movement intent on removing women's and girls' rights, which bullies gay people who admit openly they don't want opposite sex partners, and campaigns for the continued sterilisation of vulnerable and troubled kids. Do they feel any qualms at all while chanting the foundational lie of their religion: Trans Women are Women, Trans Men are Men?
I have no idea. All I know for sure is that it's a complete waste of time telling a gender activist that their favourite slogan is self-contradictory nonsense, because the lie is the whole point. They're not repeating it because it's true - they know full well it's not true - but because they believe they can make it true, sort of, if they force everyone else to agree. The foundational lie functions as both catechism and crucifix: the set form of words that obviates the tedious necessity of coming up with your own explanation of why you're one of the Godly, and an exorcist's weapon which will defeat demonic facts and reason, and promote the advance of righteous pseudoscience and sophistry.
Some argue that signatories of these sorts of letters are motivated by fear: fear for their careers, of course, but also fear of their co-religionists, who include angry, narcissistic men who threaten and sometimes enact violence on non-believers; back-stabbing colleagues ever ready to report wrongthink; the online shamers and doxxers and rape threateners, and, of course, the influential zealots in the upper echelons of liberal professions (though we can quibble whether they're actually liberal at all, given the draconian authoritarianism that seems to have engulfed so many). Gender ideology could give medieval Catholicism a run for its money when it comes to punishing heretics, so isn't it common sense to keep your head down and recite your Hail Mulvaneys?
But before we start feeling too sorry for any cowed and fearful TWAWites who're TERFy on the sly, let's not forget what a high proportion of them have willingly snatched up pitchforks and torches to join the inquisitional purges. Call me lacking in proper womanly sympathy, but I find the harm they've enabled and in some cases directly championed or funded - the hounding and shaming of vulnerable women, the forced loss of livelihoods, the unregulated medical experiment on minors - tends to dry up my tears at source.
History is littered with the debris of irrational and harmful belief systems that once seemed unassailable. As Orwell said, 'Some ideas are so stupid that only intellectuals believe them.' Gender ideology may have embedded itself deeply into our institutions, where it's been imposed, top-down, on the supposedly unenlightened, but it is not invulnerable.
Court losses are starting to stack up. The condescension, overreach, entitlement and aggression of gender activists is eroding public support daily. Women are fighting back and winning significant victories. Sporting bodies have miraculously awoken from their slumber and remembered that males tend to be larger, stronger and faster than females. Parts of the medical establishment are questioning cutting healthy breasts off teenaged girls is really the best way to fix their mental health problems.
One seemingly harmless little white lie - Trans Women are Women, Trans Men are Men - uttered in most cases without any real thought at all, and a few short years later, people who think of themselves as supremely virtuous are typing 'yes, rapists' pronouns are absolutely the hill I'll die on,' rubbing shoulders with those who call for women to be hanged and decapitated for wanting all-female rape crisis centres, and furiously denying clear and mounting evidence of the greatest medical scandal in a century.
I wonder if they ever ask themselves how they got here, and I wonder whether any of them will ever feel shame.
@Telegraph Boy George, the man who kidnapped and chained another man to a radiator while he beat him with a metal pole is trying to claim at JKR hates men? Hmmm well she's never done what Boy George has done so who's the real man hater here?
Seriously, get to absolute fuck. Nobody is interested in "reconciliation", that ship sailed five years ago. All that is required is for trans people to use the spaces for their sex and stop acting like this: https://t.co/np5cbrRukO
Another of the false assertions made of the @ForWomenScot judgment is that the Supreme Court “refused to hear from trans people.”
It did no such thing.
