CPN. Should have been an historian. Mainly talk politics & post uncomfortable truths. Repellent to ideologues. Tick all your little boxes. Mo Salah ticks mine.
Can’t say this enough: the bad guys always want to clamp down on free speech, and they always have what they feel are morally justified reasons for doing so. I promise you that fascists & communists never argued “we’re shutting down free speech because we’re evil.”
Can't say this enough; Elon Musk's menace to democracy is intolerable. He's using the largest & most influential platform in the democratic world to stoke racial conflict and civil breakdown - in his own posts & what X promotes. Democracies can no longer ignore this.
Remember. A masked mob of Muslims turned up at a school and a teacher’s life was threatened (like Samuel Paty) because he showed a picture of Muhammad. That teacher is still in hiding. The police did nothing. Don’t insult people by pretending two-tier policing doesn’t exist.
It is a cheap rhetorical trick to constantly pretend, as Trans Radical Activists do, that this debate is the same as the Civil Rights Movement or the Gay Rights Movement. It isn’t, because in those debates, there was no conflict of rights between peoples.

31 year old Jozef Puska, Slovakian immigrant, has now been charged. Murder is always heinous, but going to a nation that has taken you in, given you a home, and then killing one of their own is particularly disgusting.
The more I learn about Ashling Murphy, the more my heart breaks. The school children, the music, the family, how loved she was in her community, her boyfriend, vigils across Ireland. I see a new arrest has been made. Sincerely hope they have their man.

Matthew - we all know what happened here. You saw Konstantin’s tweet & were overcome with a sense of revulsion at the reflection in the mirror he held up. Deep down you know it is shameful to make women like JKR your enemy, but that’s where your extremist politics has taken you.

I think the murder of David Amess by a Muslim inspired by Al Shabab, the Al-Qaeda-linked terrorist group in Somalia, qualifies as religious extremism tbh.
And while I agree the Islamists are right wing - they are exclusively supported by the left, because they have brown skin.
Another reason I loathe identity politics (in addition to its obvious incongruence to liberalism) - it was only a matter of time before whites, still by far the majority group, did the same thing. You can’t argue only blacks/browns can do it, but not whites, & maintain legitimacy
The rise of ethnic-minority identity politics in modern Britain always risked the counter-development of a new *ethno-racial* consciousness among disaffected white Britons.
Southport child killings are being interpreted and processed by some through the lens of race & ancestry.
However, a trans woman wanting access to female-only spaces, directly contradicts the right of women to areas where males won’t be. These areas are based on scientific reality, decades m of data, & millennia of common sense, regarding the physical advantages men have over women.
This is straight up murder. James Max is totally out of his depth here, even making points (born in the wrong body, not understanding difference between sex/gender) that TRAs argue are transphobic. There are times Kellie-Jay Keen smashes him so badly he is left speechless.
Campaigner Kellie-Jay Keen and James Max clash over the issue of 'sex-based rights' and JK Rowling's 'trans-row'.
James: "I am slightly staggered by your views."
Campaigner Kellie-Jay Keen: "What? That biological sex exists."
@thejamesmax
A black person being able to vote did not affect a white person being able to vote. A gay person not going to jail for being gay did not mean straight people would now be imprisoned, and lesbians being able to marry had no impact on straight people being able to marry.

No, he means the woke brigade who are racist. The ones who single out whites and attack them for things done centuries ago. The type of people who are reintroducing segregation in colleges. Those types.
TRAs not only want to pretend that everyone who disagrees with them is a bigot, but they want to play make-belief regarding biological fact and crime statistics. Trans women (men) are more likely to sexually assault women than men are. It is not hateful to state the truth.

It does though. If he wants to be logically consistent, it does. I hate Saudi Arabia and the Saudi Royal family. So you know what I’d never do? Work in Saudi and have my taxes pay for a royal family I despise. Really really basic principle stuff here.
I’m a mental health nurse. We don’t see people for up to two years, then all of a sudden, just when their PIP is up for renewal, they become really unwell and act out. We fill out the forms, they get their benefits renewed, and we don’t see them again for another two years.
Every middle class leftwinger I meet thinks sicknote/benefit fraud culture is a myth.

How is the conflict imaginary when trans women (males) want access to female-only spaces designed specifically for women not to have males in that area? The denial of reality strikes once again. People can see through your bullshit now, which is why the tide has turned.

Because they aren't as bad as each other. Hamas doesn't have the power to commit genocide but promises, in their charter, if they had, they'd do it. Israel has the power to commit genocide but doesn't. That's why we'll only sell weapons to the side which won't commit genocide.

In this statement, you say “We take our responsibility around neurodiversity very seriously.”
In the video, after a parent explains the child has autism, a Police Officer replied “I don’t care.”
This is why so many people don’t trust you.
Puska is entitled to a presumption of innocence, as the Western judicial system rightly insists. The point of the above was to highlight something I know many people on these islands feel but are afraid to articulate - as someone who agrees with them, I felt it my duty to speak.

Amazing.
Police admit to not solving a single neighbourhood crime in 166 areas for three years & people are freely walking around in gangs with swords & machetes, but sick old men are being arrested because they typed some mean words on a screen.

What I remember most about that story was the deafening silence from the political class.
Imagine a brown Muslim teacher did something in a classroom that had a mob of white Christians threatening his life & forcing him into hiding.
Imagine the reaction of Labour & the police.
An independent report - the Khan Review - concluded that the teacher was badly let down by the school, the local council and in particular the police, who, despite cleared of any malicious intent by an independent investigation, “did not consider him a victim of crime.”

Adding this thread here as it shows another fundamental difference between what TRAs are claiming they are doing, and what black/gay people actually did:
1 / The difference between actual civil rights movements and the ‘trans’ movement is that none of them fought for rights on the basis of something they were not, or passing themselves of as another demographic of people. Black people didn’t say “Hey, we’re white!” Women didn’t

shows how unserious the governing class in the UK has become. If held 50 years ago, it would be a serious endeavour designed solely to ensure how to avoid similar mistakes in future. Instead we get a vendetta with the intention to go viral for a gotcha moment.
The report also found “a disproportionate concern for not causing offence to religious sensibilities of those engaged in intimidation” & a poor understanding of cohesion, where the mob was appeased so as to end the protests (teacher fleeing).
In other words, two tier policing.
