Left leaning 2nd wave feminist, still seeking liberation from patriarchal oppression. And of course men can’t be women. Too old to put up with that shit.

So when you said you were going to release the Epstein files and stop wars what you meant was that you were going to cover up the Epstein files and start wars.

WOW. This is an exceptional essay, beautifully written, that will resonate very much with those of us who've experienced houndings/ cancel culture. I admit, reading was difficult...

What an appalling experience - I very much hope Caylan Ford wins her case.

Older Women are notable pawns on the chess board of social media. When disagreeing,we are irrelevant, unsightly & stubborn coffin dodgers. When we concur & are attacked from without,we are poor little old ladies deserving of respect for our noble years.
Across the board.

This is the first literary institution in Scotland to apologise *directly and straightforwardly* to feminist writers for giving in to their hounders. I am thrilled for Susan and Lucy who were put under such unnecessary stress & upset over all of this. 💜

You might be listening to my former student Mukahang Limbu @mukki_s1 on Anatomy of a Cancellation on Radio 4 and wondering who this superbly articulate and wise young person can be. Here is a thread to let you know.

Eight-Year-Olds as Test Subjects: The NHS Has Crossed a Line No Civilised Nation Should Ever Cross

There's a sickness deep in Britain's institutions – a refusal to learn, a refusal to stop, a refusal to put children before ideology. We were told Tavistock was the great scandal. We were told the Cass Review would draw a line under it. We were told the ban on puberty blockers was the moment the country came to its senses. Yet here we are again: the NHS preparing to put eight-year-olds on the same drugs it once called unsafe, all in the name of "research." Call it what it is – the return of a discredited experiment, dressed up as science, carried out on children too young to understand the harm and too trusting to resist.

This isn't a medical trial. It's a moral collapse. The Health Secretary bans puberty blockers for "unacceptable safety risks" and then signs off on a study that will inject them into more than 200 children. You can't square that circle. Either the drugs are unsafe – in which case using them on children is grotesque – or the ban was political theatre and the trial is the truth. In both cases, the child pays the price. Officials can hide behind clipboards and committees, but the contradiction is fatal: no civilised country calls a drug too dangerous for routine care and then gives it to primary school children.

We've seen this story before. Tavistock lived off the same delusion – that you can override biology with ideology, that you can halt puberty without consequence, that children in distress can be steered into a medical conveyor belt and come out whole. The tragedy is that we already know the results. We know the bone loss. We know the cognitive decline. We know the infertility warnings. We know that once a child is put on blockers, 98 per cent go on to cross-sex hormones. We know the detransitioners, with their broken bodies and their unanswered questions. We know the whistleblowers who were ignored. And we know the evidence Cass uncovered – "remarkably weak" to the point of farce.

And yet the NHS has learned nothing. The same worldview has crept back in through the side door. Troubled children are once again treated as experiments, not as patients. Autism, trauma, sexuality, social confusion – all pushed aside to make room for the one idea the activists will never surrender: that a child's body is raw clay, ready for remoulding. They even admit the risk to brain development, but say the greater danger is upsetting a child who wants the drugs. It is the logic of a cult: feelings first, evidence last, consequences ignored.

Then comes the darker underbelly – the smugglers, the fixers, the private clinics showing parents how to dodge UK law by flying to Dublin or Madrid. A banned drug, rebranded as "lifesaving care," administered abroad so the activists can claim clean hands at home. In 2022, Susie Green and her network turned desperation into a business model. Families pay thousands. Children get injections. The loophole gets exploited. And the state, once again, is caught flat-footed while ideology races ahead.

The truth is stark: Britain is not safeguarding children. It is feeding them back into the same machine that failed the last generation. The NHS had its reckoning – Cass exposed the rot, the courts blew the whistle, former patients lifted the lid. But instead of rebuilding trust, the system has doubled down. A new trial. New paperwork. New language. Same harm.

Puberty is not a disease. Childhood is not an illness. Troubled teenagers do not need their natural development shut down like a factory line. They need time, care, honesty, boundaries, and adults willing to tell the truth – not activists in lab coats playing God with their futures.

This trial marks a line. Not between one government and the next, but between a society that protects its young and a society that experiments on them.

"We were told Tavistock was the great scandal. We were told the Cass Review would draw a line under it."

Strange timing for announcement of puberty blockers trial by NHS. Did Webberley have some inside information, given she had 3 interviews/‘debates’ just before the announcement? Not that I believe in conspiracies…but.

In her never-ending quest for attention since being fired by Fox News, Megyn Kelly argues that 50-year-old perverts like Trump and Jeffrey Epstein are not pedophiles if the children they're raping are at least 15 years-old. 😳👇
