@benryanwriter @jonronson @Glinner Graham is Irish, not British. Surprised you of all people haven’t checked, and also that you use the ‘Terf’ slur to describe him.

The Green Party has complained about this cartoon of Zack Polanski by the The Times.

They’re deeply unhappy with it. Whatever you do, do not repost!

@LoftusSteve Didn’t Churchill say that you can’t negotiate with a tiger when your head is in it’s mouth?

@jdpoc @paulabearthe2nd @tomhfh Not fixed. There is a difference between deficit and overall debt.

[Stephen Pate @tobytobe02]

@tomhfh Perfectly catching the mood of the nation 🌧️

[Stephen Pate @tobytobe02]

@BritainRemade Agreed - but given the length of time it takes, we also need to target Heysham and Hartlepool.

@BritainRemade is asking the tough questions before the election. Why the extreme delays on wind farms while our energy bills keep rising? Why do new roads and railways cost a lot more than in Europe? Check out their plan now, which solves these problems! https://t.co/gAdg55IRXF

@tomhfh Happy to help when the crystal ball gets a bit fuzzy…

@tomhfh It’s odd that you focus on what people are not saying about what the report doesn’t say, rather than focus upon what the report actually says

Only kidding. Obviously, the people mentioned in the above tweets aren't women at all, but men, every last one of them.

In passing the Scottish Hate Crime Act, Scottish lawmakers seem to have placed higher value on the feelings of men performing their idea of femaleness, however misogynistically or opportunistically, than on the rights and freedoms of actual women and girls. The new legislation is wide open to abuse by activists who wish to silence those of us speaking out about the dangers of eliminating women's and girls’ single-sex spaces, the nonsense made of crime data if violent and sexual assaults committed by men are recorded as female crimes, the grotesque unfairness of allowing males to compete in female sports, the injustice of women’s jobs, honours and opportunities being taken by trans-identified men, and the reality and immutability of biological sex.

For several years now, Scottish women have been pressured by their government and members of the police force to deny the evidence of their eyes and ears, repudiate biological facts and embrace a neo-religious concept of gender that is unprovable and untestable. The re-definition of 'woman' to include every man who declares himself one has already had serious consequences for women's and girls’ rights and safety in Scotland, with the strongest impact felt, as ever, by the most vulnerable, including female prisoners and rape survivors.

It is impossible to accurately describe or tackle the reality of violence and sexual violence committed against women and girls, or address the current assault on women’s and girls’ rights, unless we are allowed to call a man a man. Freedom of speech and belief are at an end in Scotland if the accurate description of biological sex is deemed criminal.

I'm currently out of the country, but if what I've written here qualifies as an offence under the terms of the new act, I look forward to being arrested when I return to the birthplace of the Scottish Enlightenment.
