Tomorrow another nurse, Jennifer Melle, has a disciplinary hearing at @geshNHS for misgendering a prisoner who is a male paedophile.
He racially abused her when he heard her say ‘Mr’ on the phone to a doctor
She has worked at St Helier Hospital for 12 years - unblemished record
Yes, what better message to teach a young girl that if a strange man gets out his dick in front of her, she shouldn't be afraid, but enjoy it.

🐋 We’re campaigning to end the slaughter of whales and dolphins in the Faroe Islands.
Last week, Born Free joined forces with Sea Shepherd and the Stop the Grind campaign at the European Parliament in Brussels to call for an end to these brutal hunts.
Every year, entire pods of whales and dolphins are driven into shallow bays and killed in a practice known as the Grindadrap, or 'the Grind'. Despite claims of humane killing methods, veterinary science and field evidence tell a very different story.
📄 MEPs from across the political spectrum were presented with a powerful report detailing the traumatic killing methods, the way these hunts undermine marine conservation, and the serious health risks linked to consuming whale meat.
💬 As the largest trading partners of the Faroe Islands, we urged EU and UK policymakers to use trade agreements as a diplomatic tool to put pressure on the Faroese government to end the hunts.
📢 Read the full report and join the movement to #StopTheGrind

*Update: Grind foremen have today announced there will be no further hunts in the northern islands until a case surrounding a violation of Faroese law is resolved. In June 2024, Sea Shepherd filed a police report after whalers held an exhausted pod of pilot whales for hours to attend a local festival. When the killing began, 138 whales were slaughtered, and 90 survivors were abandoned in shallow water.
✊ Let’s keep the pressure on to bring this barbaric practice to an end once and for all!

Developers' bid to remove resident badgers from housing site sparks outrage among Milton Keynes animal lovers
The placing of steel mesh over badger setts on a field that is to become a housing development has been branded as cruel and callous by hundreds of protestors.
The structure has metal doors in place to ensure that once the badgers leave their sett, they cannot enter it again and will be forced to relocate.
Although it is technically legal for a developer to do this before construction begins, it is a highly controversial move amongst wildlife campaigners.
The metal frame was spotted on farmland on North Crawley Road in Newport Pagnell, part of the 45 hectare Tickford Fields site sold by the council earlier this year to the Vistry Group.
The developers plan to build a complete mini town with 930 homes plus community, education and recreation facilities as well as play areas and sports pitches.
The countryside site is home to a plethora of wildlife, including badgers, and theymust be legally relocated before building work can start. In the UK, badgers and their setts are legally protected under the Protection of Badgers Act 1992, which imposes significant restrictions on developers.
Interference with setts is a criminal offence unless a specific licence is obtained and developers are careful to stick to the permitted ways to encourage badgers off their land by applying for a special licence from the government before they act.
Licensed' relocation involves a process of humane exclusion from the existing sett and encouraging the badgers to move to an alternative natural or artificial sett nearby
Meanwhile, the law regarding the protection of badgers during development could get stickier under the government’s if the government’s new Planning and Infrastructure Bill (PIB) goes ahead. This proposes to streamline planning processes to accelerate the delivery of 1.5 million new homes and fast-track major infrastructure projects.
Under it, proposed amendments to the Protection of Badgers Act would allow, for the first time ever, badgers to be killed or translocated for development, drainage, or "overriding public interest".
The Badger Trust is strongly opposing the proposals .

Earlier this year, Keenan Watson pled guilty to three charges at Edinburgh Sheriff Court. He admitted causing one adult dog and eight puppies unnecessary suffering by failing to provide an adequate diet or veterinary care
