[J.K. Rowling @jk_rowling]

You don't seem very good at big words, Tony, so I'll summarise this for you. The Mayo Clinic found testicular abnormalities in boys on puberty blockers which, they theorise, may mean an elevated risk of testicular cancer.

Girls put on Lupron (a puberty blocker) for early adolescence suffered seizures and bone thinning in adulthood as a result. These side effects have been known for many years now, but the pharmaceutical industry has found a wonderful new market for these powerful drugs, thanks to trans activism.

I understand that you and your ilk prefer to call other people 'retards' and 'cunts' for actually reading the studies rather than rushing to deny anything that disturbs the slogan repetition they call thinking, but try working a bit of factual evidence into your discourse. You never know, it might even get you laid.

Nigel Farage is the epitome of the establishment.

He makes millions at the expense of the poorest, while blaming the most vulnerable to protect his wealth and power.

We cannot afford a society that feeds the expensive ego of Nigel Farage. Clacton deserves better.

[Committee for Academic Freedom @ComAcFreedom]

Is Oxford University building its approach to campus free speech around a novel reading of Nineteen Eighty-Four?

The lesson its senior administrators appear to have drawn from Orwell’s dystopian classic is not that the Two Minutes Hate represents a warning about enforcing conformity through rituals of publicly denouncing wrongthinkers, but that this is exactly the right amount of time to spend doing so.

According to correspondence seen by CAF, Oxford University appears to suggest that trans activists were entitled to stand inside a lecture hall, denounce law lecturer @michaelpforan as a “bigot” for referring to women’s sex-based rights, and then urge students to walk out, because they did so quickly.

Quite apart from this flying in the face of regulatory advice, it entirely misses the point that 120 seconds is more than enough time for a trans activist to smear an academic, denounce everyone within earshot as “transphobic”, attempt a heckler’s veto, photograph students before sharing their images online and inviting others to identify where they live, who they live with, and who their families are, chill their willingness ever to engage with controversial subjects again… and still have time left over to feel appallingly victimised by the whole thing.

If the people of Clacton really want to send a message to 'the establishment', the choice is clear.

That’s not how Parliament works.

Love this

"Nobody's Empire" (Official Music Video) from our album, 'Girls in Peacetime Want to Dance.'

Directed by Blair Young and Stuart Murdoch, it features actress Tamzin Merchant standing in for Stuart, along with fan and archival footage taken from the Scottish Screen Archive and the Prelinger Archive.

👁️Police use of facial recognition has led to catastrophic errors including:

🔹A roofer who was dragged to court after a facial recognition blunder
🔹An innocent man who was wrongly arrested & detained for 10 hours after this Orwellian tech falsely accused him of being a criminal

In both cases, officers trusted a computer over 'human eyes'.

There's no place for this tech in British policing.

Just heard about Michael Byrne 🕯️ so am paying tribute by watching Smiley’s People. He was the second actor to play Peter Guillam (opposite @guinness_alec’s George Smiley) but was superb & couldn’t imagine anyone else after that. #JohnleCarre
