Did you miss the next caller whose father-in-law died after suffering complications after vaccination ? Nick tried to call her out by asking who told her that and she replied “the Coroner”. 🤔 I doubt they’ll be tweeting that one out …

That’s great for female victims of domestic violence and abuse, but where are male victims of domestic violence supposed to go? You never seem to hear of refuges for men from their abusive male or female partners.

There is a mountain of reliable evidence that the currently available vaccines for Covid-19 neither prevent infection or transmission. And adverse reactions are high. So why are you pushing this bogus argument ? Is personal financial gain involved? I think we should be told.

The worst part of it is the land will be sold off ASAP & will probably be built on, thus making it very difficult to resurrect HS2 after the election. It’s just economic and environmental vandalism in an attempt to benefit their mates and gain fleeting popularity. Short sighted.

Got Covid once before 💉were available. Very mild. Decided I didn’t need to get 💉 and been fine for 18 months. So glad I made that call now I hear all the horror stories. When are they going to stop pretending natural immunity isn’t real?
@sportingintel
What does it take for some people to realise mask wearing is about control, not health? If these people really believed Covid was as deadly as governments and the media pretend, they would be socially distancing & wearing masks. Pictures say more than a 1000 words.
@mimmymum
It seems we have learned little since 20 y.o. Sophie Lancaster was killed in 2007 for a similar reason - some people didn’t like how she identified. She wasn’t trans, but she and her bf were goths. The goths supported Sophie’s mum too. Hate is always stupid, love is always kind.

This is a brilliant takedown of those defending Russell Brand and anyone asking why his accusers didn’t go straight to the police with their complaints. Whilst it is satire, parts of it are painfully true, especially the bit about the Met Police. Every man should read this.
@RealCarlVernon
I had to check it out, but you’re right! You can’t even get on a train in Canada without being vaxxed or having a negative PCR test from now until the end of November, then it’s vaxx only. Insane and disgusting. Hope they can find some way to fight this tyranny.
@arghavan_salles
There was never a reason to wear masks. They don't work. To think otherwise is like believing in the Easter bunny. We are not in the middle of the pandemic, that was a year ago. We are at the end of the pandemic now. Why do you want to go on living in fear when there's no need?
Happy November ! As some of you may know, I like to celebrate certain numbers of followers with a relevant train picture. Somehow I have got 304 followers, so here’s a picture of a British Rail class 304 electric train, sadly long gone, but not forgotten.

This may be the tip of a very sinister iceberg! Reform fielded 609 candidates in the election at short notice. How? Apparently many Reform candidates were no shows at their counts and absent from photo opportunities in their constituencies during the campaign. This is dodgy !

We have been heading towards ‘owning nothing’ for a while now. Think of those mainly young people who read e-books, stream music and video and don’t have physical media. Also they may lease a car or just rely on a ride-hailing app to get around. Also likely to rent property too.

No. But it is rather sad that his death has been hijacked by some to advance their agenda. He apparently had health problems going back years, which could have been a major factor.

As the minister responsible for the railways, perhaps your time would be better spent doing something to actually help, like giving Network Rail and train companies permission to negotiate freely with the trade unions, rather than suggesting unworkable measures?

Often people described as detransitioners aren’t. I once saw someone who was the victim of a botched surgery described as detrans. In fact, they only regretted the medical negligence, not transitioning. They made it quite clear they were NOT against transitioning itself.

There weren’t any train strikes this week. Besides, as PM, Sunak could end the rail strikes at any time, if he chose to do so. And he could have used trains to get to Dorset and Cornwall. With Cornwall, he could have even saved time by travelling overnight on the sleeper train.

The environmental problems you are claiming for wind & solar are mostly fictional. Renewables produce the cheapest & cleanest form of energy. We are in a energy & climate crisis. We need solar & wind. The only alternative is nuclear, which is expensive and has its own issues.

@finngalkn
I don’t understand why anybody cares so much about something that doesn’t affect them at all. Trans men are men. If you are gay or bi, why wouldn’t it be ok for you to be in gay/bi male spaces? Same goes for gay or bi trans women in lesbian/bi female spaces. Love is Love ! 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
@realbaddiarrhea

@mimmymum
It is true. It is very relevant as anti-trans people are falsely claiming people are detrans as there are so few real ones. Basing policy on a handful of cases is daft as it hurts the majority. The overall regret rate for trans healthcare and surgery in particular is very tiny.
Thanks to everyone for liking the class 304 photo I posted earlier. Seems I’ve gained another lovely follower, so guess what? Here’s a picture of a class 305, working in Scotland in it’s twilight years. I remember making the pilgrimage to travel on them to North Berwick once.

Western countries do not allow gender reassignment surgery for under 18s. Fact. Trans kids are real and deserve love and respect. Fact. You can’t brainwash cïsgender kids into being trans. Fact. People who incite hatred against trans people should be in prison. Fact !

It’s not sensible advice because it doesn’t actually prevent disease transmission. Just because someone has academic qualifications and a position of authority doesn’t mean they are correct or even telling the truth. Sadly that is how far standards have fallen now.

There is nothing homophobic about being trans. It isn’t an ideology, any more than being ginger is an ideology! Trans people can have the same sexuality as anybody else. Some trans people are straight, gay, lesbian, bi, pansexual or asexual (other orientations are available).
Will everyone kindly stop describing losing a stupid football match as “heartbreaking” ? It really isn’t and is an insult to anyone who has lost loved ones or been diagnosed with a terminal illness recently. Men (and it is mainly men), please grow the f*ck up!

@AvantiWestCost
The West Coast line was upgraded as much as possible to allow the introduction of the Pendolino trains in the early 2000s. The trains have had 2 coaches added to provide more seats. There is nothing else that can be done to add capacity, apart from building a new railway - HS2.

If you think about it, “Build Back Better” has the initials B.B.B. , which could also stand for “Big Brother Begins”. Is it a code? Remember the idea of vaccine passports was dismissed as a conspiracy theory until countries all over the world started implementing them …

Other replies to this thread have indicated groups have tried to do something for men but have never got funding. Women do sadly make up the majority of domestic abuse victims, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen to men! There seems to be a lack of support & empathy for men.

The worst part of this is that it is completely the opposite of the truth. Dependence on fossil fuels is what’s pushed up energy bills to unaffordable levels. The renewable energy required to reach Net Zero is much cheaper than fossil fuels, so would reduce energy bills.

So sorry for your loss. It must be really distressing to hear the mantra of ‘get vaccinated / boosted’ everywhere you turn. It should be up to individuals whether they get vaxxed or not, but officials pretending it’s completely safe undermines ‘informed consent’.

@RealDeniseWelch
Indeed. Recently, my next door neighbour, an old lady, passed away. I had never met her but I used to hear her watching TV. I met her son on the night she died & he said he hadn’t seen her during the pandemic to ‘protect’ her. She must have been so lonely. So sad and unnecessary.
From the archive: Class 31 no 31601 waits to take its train from Bletchley to Bedford in the late 90s. I recall the Marston Vale line had briefly reverted to loco hauled trains due to a DMU shortage. The train would have been just two coaches with another 31 on the rear.

It’s really appalling that a parent can be so hateful towards their own child. She is obviously very stupid to believe autistic children can be influenced into being trans, presumably because she has such a bigoted attitude towards them. Her husband & child are well rid of her !
@mushycrouton
GCs also “transvestigated” the female singer P!nk, who has several children by her male partner. Not to mention Daniel Radcliffe’s gf when she was pregnant with their first child. For people who go on about reality, their grip on it is very tenuous at best.
