The #PeakyBlinders team remembers Sam Neill:

“Sam’s portrayal of Chester Campbell is one for the ages. A villain who is despicable, petty, manipulative, but also charismatic, vulnerable, funny and supremely entertaining to watch. Sam was one of the key forces that got ‘Peaky Blinders’ off to a running start, for which we will be forever grateful." https://t.co/1IX0MIQg1m

Two weeks before Amnesty International released a report attacking women’s advocacy and LGB organisations as “anti-rights”, I interviewed its director about the impact of gender ideology on women and girls.

Here’s the full interaction.

It’s sad news that Sam Neill has passed away. Sam was a genre-crossing, multifaceted actor, just as at home in independent films like The Dish as in Hollywood blockbusters like Jurassic Park. When I heard today, my first thought was The Hunt for Red October. He’ll be missed.

He was just marvellous. In everything. Very sad.

My personal favourite performance as Michael Chamberlain. Pitch perfect.

RIP Sam Neill.

RIP Sam Neill (1947-2026)

Sam Neill on why "The Piano" (1993) is an important movie in Cinema history:

"I don’t think I can overestimate how important 'The Piano' (1993) is for me in hindsight. It sits on my funny old CV like a medal on my chest. It wasn’t my film. It was Jane Campion's. I wasn’t the star of the film. That was Holly Hunter. But there is honour to be found in the second fiddle. Or fourth. No one notices you much, you don’t get nominated for things. But you served. I was there in an important feminist film. I was there on the front line in an important New Zealand film. Neither of these labels does the film justice. It’s a work of art. And look, that tiny little figure in the fabric— see down there on the right—that’s me. It’s a film that will always have a place in cinema history. And I served in it."

We are saddened to hear that actor Sam Neill has died, aged 78. With a memorable career spanning over five decades, Neill gained international attention in 1993 starring in both Jane Campion’s The Piano and Steven Spielberg’s Jurassic Park.

Thrilled to be mentioned and quoted, alongside @Bernard_Lane, @SwipeWright and others, in Chris Mitchell's media column in today's Australian. Proud to write for a masthead that reports without fear or favour on trans and other issues.

I wish to point out that the money raised by the Secret
Policeman's Ball writers and casts was intended to
be used for work against political imprisonment and torture

Not for the purposes of the mob who have taken Amnesty over

Cruz Hewitt can take stunning memories and valuable lessons after he was stopped just short in the Wimbledon boys’ final.

I was obviously brought into the gender ideology fight because of women’s rights & women only spaces, but I genuinely believe that this is an issue that impacts everyone. Women’s rights are the canary in the coal mine and should have been listened to 20+ years ago.

Gender ideology attacks human beings at one of our most basic instincts: sex recognition. An evolutionary skill that is so instinctual, we don’t even realize the moment we’re acknowledging biological sex in every interaction we ever have, whether it matters or not. But it’s there.

Everyone should have the right to acknowledge a man is a man, a woman is a woman, a boy is a boy, a girl is a girl, and it’s impossible to change or be neither.

If the state can force you to accept men as women, they can force you to accept anything. Don’t let them.

It seems literally impossible for certain trans activists to grasp that not everything is about them.

The only rape crisis centre in Edinburgh prior to the opening of Beira’s Place was run by a trans-identified man who publicly told potential service-users they would be ‘challenged on their bigotry’ if they didn’t agree he was a woman. Meanwhile a ‘non-binary’ man subsequently convicted of rape, and found by the sentencing judge to harbour serious hostility towards women, was permitted to access the centre’s services.

Trans-identified men in Edinburgh were better served than women when it came to accessing support after rape or sexual assault. Beira’s Place, which I founded and fund in its entirety, gives women a choice. The female-led, female-centred model of support is provably preferred by most female survivors. We know for a fact that some of our service-users didn’t seek help before we opened, because they didn’t want a male providing their therapy, or for men to be accessing what they needed to feel was a completely safe space. However, if a woman was happy with a male support worker, or with males also using the service, she could of course choose the alternative rape crisis centre.

Some men, trans-identified and not, disagree that even the most vulnerable and traumatised women should be allowed to exclude men from rape crisis centres, yet many women see a male-free space and service as the last or only chance of putting their lives back together. It takes immense courage even to pick up the phone to access help after rape. Yet, even at their worst moment, these women told by activists like Willoughby that their priority should be centering his feelings, pandering to his ‘identity’ and pretending that they don’t recognise his narcissism and aggression as a quintessentially male response to not being given what he wants, by women.

The simple truth is that no decent male, however they identify, would ever seek to breach the boundaries of women whose sense of self and safety has been shattered by their experience of male violence or rape. 98% of sexual predators are male. 88% of sexual crime victims are female. Beira’s Place exists because I saw an unmet need and the fact that we’ve been so busy since we’ve opened proves, not that women hate trans-identified men, but that this is where women feel safe enough to deal with trauma they might otherwise have had to carry with them forever.
