The multi-millionaire who bought farmland to avoid tax…

And the man who decimated farming to progress his own career

…are now the self-appointed saviours of farming

On today’s pod we discuss how people have lost their damned minds.

[J.K. Rowling @jk_rowling]

I wrote the words below in April, about the UK left, and I'm retweeting them today for the benefit of some of the numbskulls in my mentions.

Women like me, and there are a lot of us, aren't and never have been far-right. We simply want the left to wake the hell up, because we're watching it do its utmost to alienate people it used to represent.

I'm not saying Trump's win was down to the gender stuff - I'm not an American voter, so can't judge. In any case, the Labour Party won the last UK election and they've embraced gender identity ideology whole-heartedly (although they won against a Tory government so enfeebled and unpopular it would have been miraculous if they hadn't, and their popularity since gaining office has plummeted.)

What I do know is that millions of women in the UK and across the developed world are extremely angry about men in women's sport, men in women's jails and the erosion of single-sex spaces. Parents are angry at being demonised because they don't want their troubled kids to undergo irreversible medical treatments of extremely questionable benefit. People are sick to the back teeth of being bullied and threatened for refusing to embrace an elitist, academia-generated ideology that's having severe real world consequences.

Large swathes of the left continue to be threatening and abusive to anybody who resists their attempts to impose ideological language or bully them out of wrongthink. Leftist activists jeer and sneer at erstwhile female allies for the crime of believing biological sex is real and matters. And leftist leaders still appear more interested in sucking up to gender activists than - to take a topical example in the UK - female nurses whose crime is not wanting to undress in front of a fully intact male.

So to those screaming 'bigot' and 'fascist' at me, you should know two things. Firstly, I'm completely indifferent to your disapproval, as I'd have thought you'd have realised by now. Secondly, and far more importantly, the only thing more harmful to your cause than your pseudo-religious belief in gender identities is your astounding, self-righteous arrogance.

Insanity

If you’re a royalist, I’m embarrassed for you.

[Brian Cox @ProfBrianCox]

I’m not buying this line of argument. Johnson knew, as everybody in the Conservative Party knew, that the Brexit referendum was about heading off the (over-stated) electoral threat from UKIP and simultaneously dealing with a fringe group of MPs in the party who were a distraction and wouldn’t shut up. Nobody, Johnson included, thought the country would actually vote for it. There was never going to be a White Paper because nobody sensible could think of anything to put in it. The expectation was that the electorate would sort the Conservative Party’s internal squabbles out for them by decisively rejecting it and all would be well. As an aside, we have the choice of continuing with this failed non-policy or not, and the current government have chosen to continue with it. I would love to see a White Paper laying out the case for staying out of the single market and customs union.

The UK is one of the smallest, most densely populated and wettest places on the planet.

It is literally one of the easiest and cheapest places to supply clean water.

But we have the worst water in Europe.

All because of privatisation.

'He's nowhere to be seen...'

It will probably come as no surprise to anyone that some Clacton constituents have started to ask where their MP, Nigel Farage is..

[Carol Vorderman @carolvorders]

Another Reform MP Rupert Lowe with multiple holdings and jobs - he used to be in business with Mrs Sunak btw

If anyone has spotted him in Great Yarmouth since the GE, let me know!!

Farage’s office in Clacton is accused of not even answering emails or phones

Men of the people?

[BladeoftheSun @BladeoftheS]

Oh dear! Having to be protected by the Police, that's not good for their bad boy reps.

[Harry Eccles @Heccles94]

I seem to have upset the @Nigel_Farage fan club - so let me be clear.

This man sows hate, lies and division.

He is a grifter and a conman.

He does not represent the vast majority of Britons.

RT if you agree

P.s. multiculturalism is great.

[For Women Scotland @ForWomenScot]

This year, we learnt that ERCC conducted a "heresy hunt" against a support worker who wanted to offer reassurance to vulnerable women. They called those women "bigots" & kept their anguished emails in a "hate" file. 1/4

How We Got Where We Are.

A Personal Observation.

1. After, homosexuality was decriminalised(1967 for UK, 1980 for Scotland & 1982 in N. Ireland), after decades of being arrested, beaten up, feared, loathed, truly marginalised, after HIV wretchedly & terrifyingly tore through the lives of so many, LGB people (same-sex attracted) gain gradual tolerance, then acceptance, & then equality. We enjoy a relatively peaceful 10-15 year period.

2. Then the Alphabet Soup inexorably limpets themselves to the LGB, despite having NOTHING to do with being same-sex attracted. Not better, not worse. Simply unrelated & different.

3. Said Alphabet Soup begins to tarnish any gains that have been made by disingenuous revisionism, extremist activism, fetishes performed in public & normalised, wages war on women & LGB people &, worst of all, actively involves & indoctrinates other people’s children. Thus creating huge resentment, & inviting an ever growing & dangerous backlash.

4. Homophobia massively increases. Alphabet group attempts to blame LGB & women, who become vocally critical of how this affects us all. They refuse to compromise or debate. Division & anger rises. Alphabet group continue to try to constantly control the narrative & demonises all those who object. People are dragged through the courts for years (almost always eventually vindicated) but the damage is immense. As usual, the process is the punishment.

5. Women’s rights & gay people’s freedoms to assemble as they choose are all under serious threat. Alphabet group continue to prioritise themselves over disabled, elderly & virtually every other vulnerable group, with zero self-awareness, encouraged by institutions, “allies”, celebrities & social media.

6. They gain huge power through sponsorship, social media, mainstream media, advertising, the education system, the government, lobby groups etc. Yet still claim they are the ‘most marginalised’, whilst being indulged & revered in almost every Western country there is.

7. Misogyny, which never went away, spirals out of control. Homophobia does not discriminate between the ideological zealots & others simply just attempting getting through day to day life. Transsexuals, who believe in biological reality & detransitioners, who were used as guinea pigs when very young, are also demonised & chastised. Women & girl’s private spaces, sports, clubs, privacy & dignity, are under siege.

8. The briefly peaceful atmosphere is now utterly torn apart, ripped to pieces by flimsy & highly suspect ideologies & a rampant loathing of women. Many of those who once supported us have now turned their backs. Many recognise the distinction between those who are simply LGB & the rest. But I fear, in time, the narcissism & the arrogance of this TikTok gender generation, who’ve been manipulated & lied to, will be our undoing.

9. Of course, I’ve not covered everything. The money Big Pharma reaps for lifetime medication, & surgical procedures, instantly affirming young people’s confusion & torment (all natural) & putting them on an irreversible course of ‘treatments’ & surgeries. “Allies” who support this movement without true comprehension of the consequences, or who simply follow blindly, because they choose to take a 4 years old child’s vivid imagination & word as gospel, because they have been taught that being called ‘non-binary’ involves extra attention & special privileges etc. etc etc.

10. This is where we are now. Uncomfortable truths are inconvenient, I realise. But this is exactly how we ended up where we are today. It’s bleak, I know. But we have no choice but to keep speaking up. We didn’t start this bonfire. But we remain bloody determined to watch it burn itself out.

Please RT. As my account is still being restricted. 🙏

“It’s a tiny bunch of whinging f**kers, who’re on the wrong side of history and they’ll all go away soon…”

Ya think, David….?

I spent 10 years of my life at all- boys boarding schools, &, as a gay man as well, often people ask me what the heck would I know about women & girls…

Well, intimately, perhaps not much.

But having been brought up surrounded by MANY HUGELY formidable & courageous women, I think I’m fairly qualified to understand what’s RIGHT & what’s WRONG when it comes to basic comprehension of women’s specific needs, rights, privacy & dignity.

The ONE subject I’m pretty familiar with is, is the attitude of MEN, like DT here, whose language & dismissive arrogance is strikingly similar to many teenage boys I was forced to spend my formative years with.

Which is more telling than perhaps he, himself, is aware of…

[Shadows of Control @shadows_control]

My abusive husband never told me what I should wear, but I ended up avoiding the clothes he didn’t like anyway 😣This is how coercive control works…

One day, I came to the kitchen wearing a black blouse My husband screwed up his face and asked me why I was wearing black (he believed it was the color of evil). He said I looked ugly in that blouse and that he didn’t like it. I told him that was fine, he didn’t have to wear it.

Then he brought our 5-year-old son into the room. “Mummy doesn’t look good in black, does she?” he asked our child. Looking at his father and knowing very well that it’s best to agree, he nodded. “Yes, black is not a nice color mummy,” he told me.

Fuming that he’d involve our child, I told him he is not to comment on my clothes again, nor involve our child. And that set him off… He lectured me for 2 hours on how I should work on my reactions to improve myself, how he has a right to give his views, and so on. In total, the discussion about the blouse lasted 3 hours. 😤

A month later, I was choosing my outfit, and I went to reach for my black blouse, but then I hesitated. Was it worth it the hassle? Did I really have the energy to go through all that again? I decided I didn’t and I chose something else.

And this is exactly how coercive control works. You learn to choose the easier option just to keep the peace and avoid the negative consequences. And bit-by-bit you fall in line with how they want you to be, until eventually there is no part of you left. Everything about ‘you’ is exactly how they want it.

Who the f**k is Charlotte Owen?

What kind of democracy do we live in where we must pay for a person to be in the House of Lords for the rest of their life and we are not permitted to ask to this simple question?

[teresa smith @treesey]

I suspect these nurses from Darlington Memorial Hospital will become as famous as the Ford Dagenham women

They’ve filed legal action against their Trust for sexual harassment and sex discrimination

[Sally Stringer @sallykeyn]

@MatthewGreen02 When I tried to use the 'Tactical voting' app for South Shropshire it recommends voting Labour to get the Tories out. You might want to look into this because as it stands, they are helping to split the vote against Tories.
