This is how the Internet changed the game. A blogger from Bath is aided by the Dean of the Faculty of Advocates, both working in the public interest against a malfunctioning state apparatus.
Politicians and media are mere observers.
I'll tell you what is ridiculous, that this useless idiot is rolled out as a "talking head" on political panels by the "real media".
Like the moron she is endorsing they wouldn't know a real story if it shat on them.
I think that there have to be many more safeguards built in than the extremists on the trans lobby acknowledge, on matters like women's prisons and very specific safe spaces (women's refuges etc).
That does not mean I support the bigoted persecution of all trans people and denial of their identity and right to participate in public life.
.@ami61495883. That looks perilously like Russophobia to me. Russia in 1991 was just as capable of becoming a prosperous democracy as Poland was. Huge efforst were made to help Poland by the West. Russia, by contrast, was pillaged.
New: ‘Highly Protected’: OPCW confirms it buried critical evidence in Syria chemical weapons probe
After years of stonewalling, the OPCW has finally acknowledged concealing the assessment of German military toxicologists who ruled out chlorine gas as the cause of dozens of deaths in the alleged Douma chemical attack of April 2018. The censored finding pointed instead to a false flag.

Libya with Gaddafi:
Education free. Healthcare free.
Africa's strongest currency.
A nation without debt.
A voice for the Global South.
Libya with “American democracy”:
NATO bombs. Slave markets.
Endless militia rule.
A failed state carved open for foreign oil.
Some call it a choice.
We call it evidence.
@Glenn_Diesen It's good that support for the Proxy War in Ukraine is collapsing but any surge of support for the AFD is certainly not a cause for celebration.
The 'lone madman' theory of Trump is still out there doing a roaring trade.
It's utterly implausible.
The US political system isn't that centralised. Many of the people you call 'adults' are doing this.
International security is defined primarily by the security competition, as security for one can be insecurity for another. All our actions have consequences. Deny Russia a voice in European institutions where it can defend its security interests, and Russia will then rely on its military to defend its security interests. Expand NATO and expect a pushback. Develop Strategic Missile Defence that can enable a first-strike, and Russia develops hypersonic missiles. Topple the government in Kiev and hijack Ukrainian intelligence agencies to push Russia out of its Black Sea Fleet base, and Russia seizes Crimea. Attack Russian civilian vessels in the Black Sea, and Russia will seize Odessa. Go after Russia's "shadow fleet" and Russia will defend it with military force. Attack Russia with Taurus missiles, and Russia will attack German logistic centres and arms production. Security competition and uncontrolled escalation used to be common sense, and we would discuss these things like normal people to maximise our own security. Yet, we live in the age of ideological fundamentalists - one side is good and the other is evil, and merely recognising the security competition and escalation ladder is condemned as "legitimising" the evil opponent and spreading propaganda. Ideology, stupidity, incompetence and arrogance are our greatest enemies today.
My opinion, FWIW is that the GC movement being so tethered to right wing thinking and some rather bigoted rhetoric (see the rampant Islamophobia) is a part of why NHS Fife largely won that battle.
I’m absolutely shocked by what I’m seeing Europeans write on X right now. They’re preaching that Ukraine must “keep fighting” and that Trump’s peace plan is terrible. Where on earth are you fighting? In the restaurants of Paris and Vienna? Ukrainians are the ones fighting and dying. They are being grabbed off the streets in violation of every basic right and forced into a meat grinder. Half a million men have deserted.
Zelensky and Yermak are drowning in corruption, and what has become public is barely 1% of what’s actually happening.
Ukraine is a dictatorship. There is no political process, no elections, no freedom of speech. Anyone who disagrees is labeled a Kremlin agent and faces repression - even their families.
What “continuation of the war” are you talking about? The EU has paid Russia €124 billion more for energy than it has given in aid to Ukraine. And you know perfectly well that Ukraine cannot defeat a military-state of 140 million people with nuclear weapons. This is pure hypocrisy. You want to use Ukraine to weaken Russia, fully aware that this will not end well for Ukraine. And you absolutely do not care about the Ukrainian people.
Yes, we are not a successful country. We are corrupt, and half the population still has a Soviet mentality. But you are not even giving Ukraine a chance to bring a real leader to power - someone who could transform the country, make it democratic, capitalist, and prosperous. That is not beneficial to you. And you know perfectly well that Ukraine will never be accepted into NATO, yet you keep repeating this mantra.
This is the globalist agenda - and it has no place for the happiness or future of Ukraine.
Today, the only real hope left is President @realDonaldTrump and the United States.
Common sense in Europe - with the exception of a few countries and leaders - is gone.
Humans can’t change sex.
Israel’s continued genocide in Gaza is disgusting.
I’m struggling to understand why holding both these views is such a niche position.
Yet here we are.
That Palestinians do not feel at home because of Jewish state terror, forced from their land, living under siege, bombings, and apartheid.
Britain’s deep political, military, and financial support for Israel makes it complicit in this ongoing genocide in Gaza.
So much so that protecting Israel has become a higher priority than protecting its own citizens, exposing a dangerous hypocrisy in UK policy and undermining both justice and security at home.
Classic Blair. He is now proposing himself as the Empire's Regent of Gaza. A war criminal himself, he demands a five year appointment to run the site of Israel's genocide on behalf of Donald Trump in the finest tradition of White Settler Colonial projects https://t.co/dHYEDHh4ez
This inability for nuance on such an important topic is NOT helpful. I agree re racism & agree EVERYONE has to be kept safe, but this ham-fisted approach to the trans conversation will cause us to lose. Why can't there be a THIRD option to protect trans rights AND to have sensible safeguarding in place, that recognises FEMALES millenia of being targeted on the basis of their biology & recognition of what predatory men have taken advantage of?! That's NOT about being transphobic, it's recognising that predatory people can take advantage of situations, so there needs to be some protections in vulnerable settings such as prisons & refuges, we HAVE to be able to have sensible conversations around this. A biological man CANNOT identify into the millenia of targeting & oppression of females anymore then a white person could identify into the oppression of a black person. Equally, a female who identifies as a women cannot understand the struggles a transperson has. It is unkind, unfair & UNREASONABLE to pit one vulnerable group against another. If they do this, we will LOSE! Frankly I'm tired again of biological men telling me as a female that I have NO right to ask also to be protected! This binary approach is NOT emotionally intelligent, truly compassionate or tolerant & a biological man has NO business demanding this of us & nor does @zarahsultana. This puritanical identity politics is just a form of divide & conquer! We must stand against it!
To split a party before it is formed is a first even for the British Left. To cheer people both sides should organise a compulsory viewing of Life Of Brian by the Monty Python team.
@CraigMurrayOrg@Kendo_4252 The culture war pervasive poison. This was designed to work exactly as it is doing! It destroyed SNP and it will destroy Your Party & The Greens. @zarahsultana Observable truth is NOT defined by Government Policy.
@CraigMurrayOrg I will never understand how the left handed this issue to the right on a silver platter.
It’s not a socially conservative issue to believe that humans can’t change sex. It’s a reality based scientific fact.
