I was listening to a podcast I generally really like yesterday and they had a special guest on talking about Jeremy Bamber who is in prison for murdering members of his family and the context was that hes recently been refused permission to talk to journalists. Its a podcast that talks about the law so it was mostly about whether putting this restriction on him was legal. One of the guests said something that made me skip back to make sure I hadn't misheard, he claimed that it was unlikely that Bamber had committed the murders because he had never done anything previously and people don't just murder someone out of nowhere. I was amazed, how often do we hear when someone commits an awful crime what a nice person they were and a good neighbour etc.

I think humans vastly overestimate their ability to read other people. I think the Traitors is such a great example of this, we are not good interpreters of other peoples actions or intentions especially when they want to deceive us.
And everybody has to do a first murder win order to do a second or third, don't they? They may seem "nice" outside the family, but there are many men who are monsters when they close the door behind them when they get home.

Look at the family annihilators out there. They are sweetness and light until they murder their wives and children (and sometimes themselves, the cowardly bastards).

THERE HAS TO BE A FIRST ONE.

Joylon Maughams response to that clinic in Brighton being found to have put children at risk is to commit the GLP to fund 10 children to continue to get the drugs that the clinic is admonished for having given them.



WTF?! The inquiry found that the clinic put children at a high risk of harm ‘because clinicians provided "specialist diagnosis, care and treatment that they were neither qualified, nor commissioned to deliver"’, and JM has announced his intention to fund continuation of that harm (under the misnomer of ‘protection’).

How can that be legal?

Attention-seeking Scottish Green MSP, ‘Q’, has been in the public eye for less than two seconds and he’s already started a campaign to break the law around ‘gender’. He’s referred to the guidance as ‘actively harmful’
‘“If you are my constituent and you were feeling any kind of distress whatsoever, and if you need access to resources, please let me know. We are working on all regards, because this guidance is not only harmful for trans people, but actively harmful for women and for people across genders, who would be soon questioned for not conforming to a gender stereotype. We do know we can. We take care of one another."’
Well, as a woman who lives in Lothian region, he might just be hearing very soon all about the distress I am feeling. Careful what you wish for, Q my man.

I’m still wondering if their ethnic background (all of them are Travellers) was a factor in their lenient sentences. The media have gone to great pains to obfuscate this fact, like they often do when offenders come from misogynistic cultures.
And this is a story where it should be publicised which culture these horrible boys come from. It does make a massive difference. To some extent should these boys have been removed from their families because of this massive safeguarding breach?

Its all very well to bend over backwards to be accepting and to be kind, but not when certain cultures deliberately behave in an anti social way. eg the number of traveller groups currently getting into trouble for wanting to circumvent all the planning rules to build their own traveller sites. Why should they be allowed to break planning laws when no one else is allowed?

I had older parents so unlike most of my generation who are having children, I have a close family member who died of a now preventable disease. My Dads older sister died of polio a few months before the vaccine. He named my older sister after her.

The memory of all those children who died or were disabled because of things like polio was far too quickly forgotten by most.
We're seeing it now - measles is just regarded as having a few spots - people don't realise that it can be a killer! Or can leave a child blind or deaf. And though chicken pox isn't usually dangerous to otherwise healthy children, it can be deadly to anyone with a weakened immune system. I'm in my 70s and knew classmates crippled by polio.

Has Dawn got round to donating to a’trans charity’ any salary she received for the cardinal sin of her appearance in a Harry Potter film yet? No? I’m surprised, given her fervent support.

Exactly, then there’s these monstrosities. It’s a crossing FFS. It’s meant be clear and functional not a virtue signalling piece of street art. Utter waste of money and Im sure I’ve read that they can confuse guide dogs too. Never mind the safety of visually impaired people though, as long as the progress colours are displayed 🤬.View attachment 4015371
The rainbow zebra crossings confuse both guide dogs and police horses.





Of course - both dogs and horses are natural terfs. Right bigoted bastards they are!

A great win for FWS, but another step backward re the puberty blocker trial. Unbelievable that the govt is determined to proceed with this despite the known and irreversible damage to the children. Once again we look to the courts to save us from this pernicious ideology

I also saw something irritating this week but I was in my car so I got to say "Fuck off" out very loud!
It was bloody bus for gods sake. Completely covered in the fascist flag with the words "you are loved" 🤮
Why, does someone need to be told they are loved by a bus?
I know, it's actually meant to be a reminder that gay and trans people are loved but maybe, just maybe some of them aren't? 🤷‍♂️
Also, why just them?
Not very inclusive.
Are the elderly not loved?
Are the disabled not loved?
There are plenty of minority (and majority) groups that might like to be told they are loved.
Not me though. I KNOW I am loved and if a stranger (or a bus) told me that, I would punch* their lights out.

*not literally, just in my mind
I must admit, I don’t “love” strangers, nor do I want strangers “loving” me. I feed it creepy, weird and actually bloody patronising. Maybe it’s just me but I couldn‘t give a stuff about validation from randoms. I‘ll quite happily take the love of my cats ( probably because I feed them), thats quite enough for me.

Good God! 😮

I think I've passed Himdia in the Bigg Market and thought he was just some old tramp.
I'm sorry you must be mistaken, number one India is a beautiful biological woman (incidentally she is much more of a lady than you) and number two he is not allowed to leave his car.

What’s the betting that Jeremy Clarkson receives next to no criticism ( and literally no rape or death threats) for his shocking transphobic clarification that men get prostate cancer

Patagonia the outdoor brand suing Pattie Gonia the drag queen

The performer said the Patagonia trademark lawsuit amounted to its CEO Ryan Gellert and other executives deciding that "I must cease to exist".

Dramatic as ever.

Oh look, the “literal genicide” klaxon:

‘The performer said the Patagonia trademark lawsuit amounted to its CEO Ryan Gellert and other executives deciding that "I must cease to exist".’

How does a legal obligation to not market your performance persona under branding that infringes someone else’s copyrighted intellectual property mean that you ‘must cease to exist’?
