Syrian Islamists surrounded, raided, and slaughtered an entire hospital of Druze today in Sweida.

Unlike your post about Al-Ahli hospital, this massacre was real—yet you’ve said nothing.

This stark and sinister message from Scotland's governing political party to its member shows the sick political trans cloud @nhsfife's female employees are under.

Nurse Peggie's disciplinary suspension was a warning to others.

If you want to keep your job, keep you head down.

🚨 Further Statement Regarding My High Court Victory VS CC Vanessa Jardine And Northumbria Police 🚨

Today I have instructed my solicitors to write to the Chief Constable of Northumbria Police to threaten further legal action if she authorises officers to visibly participate in Northern Pride 2025. Despite a clear and damning judgment of her decision to authorise officers to participate in Pride 2024 she has authorised off-duty officers wearing T-shirts that show they are officers to participate in Pride 2025. This is plainly unlawful and I will take legal action if she does not rescind that authorisation. Her public statements in the light of the ruling show a complete absence of reflection on a judgement that was highly critical of her deeply flawed decision regarding Pride 2024 – a decision that caused her and her officers to breach their professional duties. It would appear that she and the Northumbria force have been completely captured by a controversial political campaign.

The Police are NOT above the law.

And instead of condemning this massacre, both the EU 🇪🇺 and the UN 🇺🇳 condemned Israel 🇮🇱 for intervening to stop the massacre.

Day 2 | AM Session | Peggie Sandie v NHS Fife & Dr Upton

🧊“I Don’t Recall”: Nursing Director’s Forgetfulness Undermines NHS Fife’s Case

By the end of the morning, one thing was clear: Gillian Malone, Director of Nursing at NHS Fife, is paid to manage a system she barely understands—and is seemingly unwilling to defend.

Malone testified today in the Peggie v NHS Fife & Dr Upton tribunal, and what emerged was not leadership but evasion. Asked basic questions about her oversight responsibilities during a high-stakes disciplinary process, Malone repeatedly floundered. “I can’t recall,” she said. “That’s not my recollection.” “It was ED’s decision.”

Time and again, she passed the buck to Esther Davidson—a subordinate who had only just started in her managerial role at the time of the events in question. Asked whether Davidson had completed a proper risk assessment before suspending a long-serving nurse, Malone admitted she didn’t know. Asked whether she had read the incident report—the Datix—that triggered the investigation, Malone shrugged: she’d been “off duty” over the holidays.

That incident, occurring on Christmas Eve, was the alleged confrontation between Sandy Peggie and Dr Beth Upton in a female changing room. It was the foundation for Peggie’s suspension. And yet Malone, the senior nurse with theoretical oversight of the process, appeared stunningly detached from the facts. She hadn’t reviewed the underlying risk assessments. She couldn’t say whether Davidson had sufficient experience. She couldn’t remember whether other incidents had even occurred.

The contradictions were glaring. Under questioning by Naomi Cunningham KC, Malone insisted that Peggie’s suspension was not based on a single interaction. But when pressed, she conceded that the entire episode circled around “the allegation”—singular—referring to the Christmas Eve changing room event. No corroborating evidence of patient harm. No pattern of misconduct. Just one incident, vague and unproven, inflated into a justification for disciplinary action.

More disturbing still were Malone’s views on what constitutes “discrimination.” Asked if it would be discriminatory for a nurse to question a male colleague’s use of the female changing room—even without aggression—Malone answered, unequivocally, “Yes.” It had been “addressed,” she said. The man—Dr Upton—had declared himself a woman. That, in Malone’s view, ended the discussion. Any woman who raised a concern was the problem.

Malone acknowledged that she had recommended “trans awareness training,” and admitted that NHS Fife had taken advice affirming that Upton was entitled to use the women’s facilities. Yet nowhere in her testimony did she address what rights Peggie might have had—or how her privacy, safety, or beliefs were factored into the decision.

Under cross-examination, Malone appeared not just evasive but deeply unprepared. She relied on vague claims of “risk” without ever pointing to documented assessments. She misremembered timelines, conflated incident types, and ultimately revealed a culture where managerial decisions were made by assumption, not evidence.

What emerged was not just a lack of rigour but a disregard for fairness. NHS Fife appeared to operate a one-way system: gender identity claims were accepted at face value, without scrutiny, while any objections—no matter how respectfully stated—were treated as disciplinary offenses.

Gillian Malone didn’t just fail to lead. She failed to explain, failed to remember, and failed to justify an institutional response that left a woman suspended, unsupported, and accused - without clear cause.

This wasn’t due diligence. It was bureaucratic abdication, wrapped in DEI language and executed by managers too uncertain to question policy - or even read their own reports. The tribunal continues. But after this testimony, the rot inside NHS Fife’s leadership is no longer in doubt.

Gender identity ideology is an unfalsifiable, quasi-religious belief system that demands absurdities of its adherents. Thus we see perfectly intelligent people pretending they’re not sure which sex they are, in the belief that this makes them virtuous.

[Jeannie McCrimmon @IndyLassie]

The process is the punishment.

For 18 months these unfounded allegations by Upton have been hanging over Nurse Peggie's head.

He hoped to tarnish Sandie's good name instead she became a TERF icon of justice.

True, but we can’t waste the opportunity to make the hilarious name “Isla Bumba” synonymous with institutional woke imbecility.

She must become the patron saint of bubble-headed HR automatons stapling rainbow lanyards to fatigued workers.
