So here's the deal. You make an investment, if it all goes wrong and you lose money it's your problem.

If it all goes right and you make a profit, you give almost half the profit 45% to the government.

Investors will be flocking to the UK. 🤬🤬🤬

We have reached the limit of raising extra revenue by raising new taxes.
The way to raise extra revenue is by stimulating growth.
The way to stimulate growth is through lighter regulations, cheaper energy, fewer trade restrictions, sounder money and, yes, lower taxes.

Being trans isn’t a mental illness, so mentally ill people can’t be trans, and no predator would pretend to be trans so trans predators aren’t trans, and all trans people are being their authentic selves unless their authentic self is a rapist in which case they’re pretending.

In years to come the BBC's Drag Race UK (2019-2026) will be looked back on with absolute abject horror, just as The Black and White Minstrels Show (shown on prime time BBC1 between 1958-1978) is remember today. Both grotesquely offensive stereotypes best confined to the past.

True. ‘Biological’ is redundant.

I see that Stella Creasy is accusing me of leading a pitchfork mob against her, because I opined that she is less likeable and more hypocritical than the wild parakeet she mistook for an escaped pet.

For those who don’t know, Creasy is an elected politician and self-proclaimed ‘old-fashioned feminist’ who is ‘still fighting the patriarchy’. She’s more than once publicly defined herself against me (and my reaction was not to accuse her of leading a mob, even though I was probably averaging a dozen death threats a day at the point when the article below appeared.)

I thought it might be instructive for those of us who don’t share Creasy’s brand of ‘feminism’ to examine her campaigning record, so we can learn to do better.

Creasy wants women admitted to the male-only, exclusive, London-based private members Garrick Club, a change that would benefit rather privileged women like Creasy. Creasy is a mother who wants better accommodations for working mothers, a change that would benefit Creasy. Creasy takes selfies at a men-only Muslim march because that reminds everyone how non-racist she is, which benefits Creasy. Creasy asserts that ‘trans women are women’, which keeps her in good odour with her party’s most aggressive activists, and benefits Creasy.

However, keeping cross-dressing heterosexual men out of nurses’ changing rooms doesn’t benefit Creasy, because Creasy has never had to mop up other people’s piss, blood and vomit at work. Challenging the notion that a male basketball player becomes a girl if he says he is doesn’t benefit Creasy, who has no sporting ambitions. Speaking up against the patriarchy as practised by non-white men doesn’t benefit Creasy, who wants those selfie-opportunities. Criticising an ideological movement that persecutes, harasses and openly threatens women who don’t believe some women have penises wouldn't benefit Creasy, because she's already fully-signed up to self-id, where any man who says he's a woman must be taken at his word.

As the late Gloria Steinem said: ‘“Feminism has never been about getting a job for one woman. It's about making life more fair for women everywhere.’

Creasy the patriarchy-challenger is provably more than happy to cosy up to men and misogynist movements when it suits her public profile and career advancement, no matter the harms those men might be causing less privileged women. By Steinem’s definition, what Stella espouses is not feminism, but Creasyism, and I suggest the emblem for this brave new rights movement should be an indignant parakeet with severely ruffled feathers.

If you open the door to one man in a woman only space, you actually open it to all men. So men who claim to be women aren't even safe in women-only spaces, because them being there means the men they are (apparently) afraid of can go in too.

Absolutely no problem is solved by allowing men who claim to be women into women only spaces, only problems & danger created.

[Lesbian Greens ⚢ 💚🌍 @LesbianGreens]

Why do men need to compete in women's sports and why are the greens supporting this ?

If a man believes himself to be a woman he should be treated no differently than any other man, so why should he be allowed into women's sports ?

If your version of “inclusion” requires me to deny biological reality, it is not inclusion. It is a demand for submission.

I decline.

This is a great video in more ways than one! Great job to whoever produced this!

[Sharron Davies HoL MBE @sharrond62]

They identify as a great big narcissist& fantasist. It’s time we stopped going along with such gibberish. It all started with thinking everyone’s entitled to 15 mins of fame regardless of talents, hard work or skills. And if you don’t have any of those it’s about being as daft as you can to get attention.

[Melissa Chen @MsMelChen]

There's no need to be blackpilled about the thousands of people who showed up and spouted nonsense at the Jason Arday vigil in Trafalgar Square.

Why? Because they know the fragility of their worldview and can sense the tide is turning. Perhaps they also have an inkling that institutionally, the DEI house of cards will come tumbling down soon as the political winds have shifted dramatically. Therefore, as @joshxhowie said, they are making a last stand.

It's long been known that costly, counter-evidential beliefs function as credible loyalty tests. Endorsing something that is obviously bereft of epistemic dignity to outsiders imposes a huge reputational cost on the believer.

That cost makes defection more expensive and signals to the in-group that you are fully committed rather than a free-rider who will leave when the going gets tough. The more prima facie absurd the claim, the stronger the signal.

You've seen this with the trans / gender ideology movement. The insistence that biological males can become women or that sex itself is a fluid social construct untethered from chromosomes, gametes, and reproductive anatomy, functions less as a scientific proposition than as a high-stakes loyalty oath.

Its very defiance of observable nature and empirical consensus elevates it into a sacred shibboleth - those who affirm it at the price of their own credibility signal that the group’s moral authority supersedes the evidence of the senses, while those who refuse are marked as outsiders.

The case of Jason Arday unfolds within the same framework. His improbable narrative of profound childhood disability overcome by miraculous ascent, accompanied by extraordinary athletic and philanthropic claims, became a totem of institutional virtue and racial progress. Even his thin and questionable record as a scholar was met with that dramatic handclasp by the head of department for education at Cambridge who looked him deep in the eyes and said, “you are the best in the world in terms of the research that you do." The rest of us outsiders all could barely suppress our laughter seeing this plainly for what it is.

Early defenders, confronted with accumulating contradictions and allegations of academic impropriety, frequently subordinated evidentiary scrutiny to the imperative of solidarity; questioning the story was treated as an assault on the tribe itself rather than an inquiry into truth. Jason Arday himself capitalized on this by siccing the police on inquiring colleagues and investigative reporters, and by accusing any students who complained of racism.

The eventual collapse of the edifice revealed how thoroughly the loyalty test had operated until the costs grew unsustainable. That's why they decided to congregate in Trafalgar Square.

Sadly for them, the British people are a lot smarter than this DEI cult that is fast approaching the total exhaustion of its cultural and political capital.

What say you people of Scotland that your government keeps using your tax payers pounds : 100s of 1000s of them, fighting to put men in women’s spaces & sports?

[Amy E. Sousa, MA Depth Psychology @KnownHeretic]

All men who claim to be trans are the same amount trans.

Dudes like “Willow” here are applauded by the trantifa left, while Enes Kantor is derided as just doing a stunt.

THEY’RE BOTH PULLING A STUNT!!!

And “Willow” is worse because he’s doing it to normalize men in women’s sports and spaces rather than to expose the obvious lie of male womanhood.

[Sharron Davies HoL MBE @sharrond62]

We need clear decisive guidance from sports federations to their affiliated clubs… no event or category labelled women’s/girls/female can admit males of any identity. These categories are exclusively for biological females. Based on sex reality for fairness of opportunity.

[Kellie-Jay Keen @ThePosieParker]

The sad truth is that men getting involved in the men in USA women’s sports will do more to save women’s sport than anything else.
