I see Nicola Sturgeon is once again complaining that I posted a picture of myself wearing a T-shirt with her name on it and the legend 'Destroyer of Women's Rights.' Apparently this didn't 'elevate the debate.'
Is there a clinical term for an individual who has extreme thinness of skin when it comes to their own perceived hurts, coupled with a rhino-hide when it comes to the fear and suffering of others?
I'm thinking in particular of the two women Isla Bryson raped, who had to watch their First Minister squirm and smirk on TV as she tried to avoid admitting he was a man; of the five survivors of male violence who were ready to give evidence to Sturgeon's committee on gender self-ID, but were told to put their concerns in writing while seventeen trans-identified people appeared in person; of the mother of a young girl with a learning disability who campaigned against self-ID because she wanted her daughter to be guaranteed same sex intimate care, should she need it (the mother was presumably one of those female opponents Sturgeon calls 'shrill' and 'hysterical' in her memoir); of the ten-year-old girl sexually assaulted in a public bathroom by a 6'5" paedophile who served his jail sentence in a women's prison because he called himself 'Katie'; of Sandie Peggie, forced to discuss her own menstrual history in public to justify not wanting to undress in view of a 6ft straight cross-dresser in the nurses' changing room; of Marion Millar, dragged into court because she tweeted a picture of suffragette ribbons; of the Scottish rape crisis centres reliant on government funding who were pressured to admit trans-identified males into their services if they wanted funding to continue.
When Sturgeon refers to an 'elevated debate', she means a discussion that takes place within a tiny, smug bubble from which regular women suffering real life consequences of her policies are firmly excluded. These faceless ants are loftily dismissed as bigots, or, to be more precise: 'transphobic, misogynistic, homophobic, maybe racist as well.'
Nicola, you hated the T-shirt picture because you couldn't ignore it, as you'd ignored so many other women trying to make you understand their concerns. Appeals to your empathy, your intelligence and your compassion all failed. Apparently the only way to get through to you is through your vanity.
I am a democratically elected Member of the European Parliament. I represent the European Union. You will pay for calling me a hate-mongering agitator. I will patiently wait until the British cast you onto the ash heap of history. Then I will come to defend my honor, and the honor of my voters, in court. I will not forget.
So far Starmer’s efforts to save his skin have been a classic case study in how not to save your skin:
The most unpopular Labour PM in history (Starmer) calls in aid the second most unpopular Labour PM in history (Brown).
With most Labour MPs despising you and willing to grant you, at most, a civilised stepping down over some months, you say you’ll be in power for a decade. Labour MPs’ worst nightmare.
You commission a propaganda film of you, Brown, Rachel Reeves and Harriet Harman looking smug and self-satisfied in the Downing Street garden, complete with meaningful music. How divorced from public opinion can you be?
You signal you’re fresh out of new blood (Brown? Harman?) and new ideas (getting close to the EU is the best you can come up with — hardly a game changer).
You think a ‘reset’ speech (again!) can turn things round? You’re truly delusional.
THE END.
🚨CRUELTY: Cllr Zoe Marlow STARVED her dog Laney to a skeleton.
Vets had no choice but to euthanize the suffering dog.
Convicted Oct 2025: community order, £120 fine +dog ban.
Yet she’s STILL a Manchester councillor in 2026 while Greens lecture on animal welfare.
Disgusting.
Just pointing out that I broke the story 7 months ago that Mandelson failed vetting from the security services and put it to Downing Street...so the idea that Downing Street only found out on Tuesday is complete nonsense.

How dare you?
Just how dare you??
I want to cry with anger reading this post.
Let alone those beautiful girls families.
You skipped to Southport, lobbed a wreath in the direction of all the other tributes. Ran away and called everyone FAR RIGHT that were heartbroken, angry and scared for their own children.
You have caused the biggest divide this country has ever seen.
You locked people up for being angry and scared, some of which never came out alive.
You actively withheld information about that murderer and his family.
You knew the level of failure that led to that thing taking the lives of children and injuring many more.
You forbade any other MP to raise questions about that murderer or the situation.
You doubled down and blamed us!
Distraught mums and worried parents.
If it was possible to despise you anymore I do, having read this post.
Thanks to policies you zealously pursue we already have the highest industrial energy costs and second highest household costs in the world. You’re inflicting working people with extra financial burden and loss of well-paid jobs.
So don’t dare talk about skyrocketing bills.
Your solar panels are paving over good farmland and your onshore windmills are already a blight on the landscape.
There are nothing like hundreds of thousands of clean energy jobs. It’s a myth you perpetuate. Unemployment is rising.
There is no energy security when you increase dependence on intermittent renewables, which is why you’re having to build new gas plants as back up and increase imported electricity (which hardly adds to our energy security).
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
The BBC has always been a joke...
Here's Chief Correspondent, Jeremy Bowen, pretending to be under Russian attack when an elderly Ukrainian lady walking her dog stops to make sure he's okay.
