As a gay man, I say: you did this - you, the far-Left LGBTIAQ+ activists with your grotesque parades, your absurd 'pronouns', your men in women's spaces and your drag queen storytimes.
You did this. You pushed and pushed the boundaries of power to see what you could get away with, using the 'cause' as a testudo: criticise us and you're a 'homophobe', 'transphobe', etc.
You used us, the 'normie' gays as a cause, to radicalise and militarise, whilst weaponising speech, with what others can and cannot say - and now you're surprised that there's kick-back?
Oh, sure, you'll now use that as: "See? See? Look at all the homophobia and transphobia! We told you!" but it was you that caused the homophobia and transphobia with your ridiculous power moves for 5% of the population.
We asked for equality. We got that. We asked for Same-Sex Marriage. We got that. But you wouldn't stop there. Emboldened by the generosity of those who, in many countries, voted for or supported the latter, you wanted to see how much further you could go.
You poked the bear. The bear didn't react. But you kept poking and finally the bear reacted. And now we're in a position where the bear recognises you every time and will swipe back.
You did this.
"Online safety" laws and age verification mandates have absolutely NOTHING to do with protecting children.
You cannot stop under-16s from accessing a website without checking the age of everyone who visits it. And you cannot check everyone's age without forcing them to prove who they are.
"Child safety" is the cheese in the mousetrap.
Laws sold under the banner of "child protection" constitute a Trojan horse for a system requiring every adult to verify their identity before they can speak, read, or post online. The child is merely an emotional shield. The adult is the real target.
And once that infrastructure exists, the pretext can be swapped out at will.
Today it is pornography, social media and "harmful content". Tomorrow it is messaging apps and online banking. Soon after it is your ability to access the internet at all—each incremental step gated behind a digital ID you are required to keep in good standing.
It's no accident that the exact same "online safety" agenda is being rolled out across the entire Western world simultaneously, with each national government reaching for a slightly different pretext to justify the same outcome—a verified digital identity standing between you and the open internet.
Different countries. Different pretexts. Same infrastructure.
They are not building a system to keep children safe. They are building the identity layer for a permission-based internet—orchestrated from the supranational level by people you never elected—where access to information itself becomes conditional on obedience.
The point is not to make the internet safer. The point is to make anonymous access impossible.
Because a person who can read, speak, organise and dissent anonymously is difficult to control. A person whose most intimate online activity is anchored to a state-monitored digital ID is not.
Once every account, search, post, payment, message and website visit is tied to a verified identity, the internet stops being a public square and becomes a monitored enclosure.
But the gate only closes if people accept "online safety" laws at face value.
@TJStats Equal treatment does NOT mean you force those who disagree with you to bend the knee
Want to be treated equally? Let people who you disagree with live their fucking lives without FORCING them to agree with you
This is why people are so fucking tired of y'all
If he biblically believes pride to be sinful, it’s like asking him to wear a hat advertising adultery. He doesn’t hate the people, he feels biblically responsible for not promoting what the Bible teaches to be sinful behavior. Whether you agree or not, he should be treated with respect and not be asked to violate his religious beliefs. I doubt you’d say the same things about a Muslim player…
Sarah: 'Blaming our housing crisis on immigration is absolutely wild to me.'
Robert: 'Do you not think an extra 10 million people coming into the UK is going to have an effect on housing?'
Sarah: [Confidence waning. Nervous scoff. Asks idiotic question.]
Robert: 'The more people you have in a country, the more houses you're going to need.'
Sarah:
Today I learned about Cathleen Quinn, who had to serve an extra 5 years in prison because she complained about a trans-identifying male inmate perving on her.

@SpeechUnion People were encouraged to report their neighbours under Soviet leadership if they were counterrevolutionary. The neighbour might then suddenly disappear during the night. The UK should stop playing these games.

Senior figures at Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service, under the command of Andy Burnham, have cautioned firefighters who support Reform UK over their political views.
In a further chilling assault on free speech, staff have also effectively been urged in an email to report colleagues who support Reform.
Fire brigade bosses have also said they are seeking legal advice on what to do about firefighters who decide to stand as Reform UK candidates. This is despite the fact that, unlike police officers, there is no legal bar preventing firefighters from participating in national or local politics.
In their email, fire brigade bosses Mr Petch and Ms Ahmed said: ’We are aware that some staff members have chosen to represent Reform UK in their local areas. We know this may cause concern within our network and wider.
’The individuals involved have been spoken to, to make it clear that as members of GMFRS (Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service) our core values and professional behaviours must be displayed at all times.
’The service is currently seeking formal legal guidance… to ensure we are protected from all perspectives and that our inclusive culture remains safe.
‘Our priority is and always will be ensuring that every member of this network feels supported, respected and safe at work.’
They also confirmed that they would be consulting the Fire Brigades Union on the matter.
In his role as Mayor of Greater Manchester, @AndyBurnhamGM — who is also tipped by some to be a future Prime Minister if he wins the Makerfield by-election — is also Greater Manchester’s Fire Commissioner, responsible for overseeing the service.
General Secretary of the Free Speech Union, Lord Young of Acton, has now written to Mr Burnham to raise concerns about the chilling effect this has on free speech.
Lord Young said that the ‘clear implication’ of the email from the fire brigade bosses was that ‘representing Reform UK constitutes an inherent threat to the institution’s culture and values and is to be treated as morally suspect’. He also highlighted that no action appears to have been taken against firefighters who support other political parties.
The letter also states: ‘Staff are further invited to report colleagues who support any groups that go against the service’s values, which effectively amounts to an instruction to inform on colleagues for their political beliefs.
’The email will create a chilling effect on the free speech of GMFRS employees who support Reform.
’The practical effect is that a public fire and rescue service governed by you is treating the lawful political activity of your electoral opponents as a reputational risk to their employer.
‘Regardless of whether this reflects your instruction, it reflects your governance; and a public office-holder who permits his institution to demonise or chill the speech and political activity of those who support his principal electoral rival cannot claim to be discharging that office with the impartiality it demands.’

This was brilliant. Trevor Phillips played a clip of what Keir Starmer said about George Floyd and displayed how Labour MPs expressed their “anger”.
David Lammy said it was fine because they were in opposition.
But not fine for Nigel Farage to use the term “rage” like they did.
I’m stunned. The Sunday Times is reporting Hampshire police wanted to portray Henry Nowak as the aggressor in an official statement three days after his death, but changed their wording following outrage from his family.
I’ll be covering this shocking and contemptible revelation from the hosting chair on The Late Show Live. @GBNEWS 12am.
So even after police KNEW Digwa was a liar and a murderer they STILL wanted to put out disinformation that would’ve prejudice the case and LIE to the public.
The Nowak family had to intervene. That is beyond disgusting.
As I said, put Hampshire police in special measures.
The force is not fit for purpose. The fatal far-left ideology has infected it from top down.
Who agrees that all these Western governments were installed intentionally to inflict as much damage to their own countries as possible?
None of this can be coincidental.
They are all working to the same agenda.
