Many good points. None of them being that Zionism isn't actually racist.

In addition - the sketches are not racist, and it is a sign of a broader malaise that we now treat “jokes about racists and racism” as indistinguishable from “racist jokes”.

I've been watching the axed Mitchell and Webb sketches. The first instance I've noticed of a comedy that could not be made today because it's too progressive now.

Do some people seriously believe that certain groups in the UK or USA will lose their right to vote, if enough people call them stupid? Is that the electoral strategy for progressives right now?

It's good to see guidance more closely reflect the law. However, I think this should highlight that some potential changes to legislation could have broad acceptance. Male facilities should not be exclusionary. Most women won't want to go in. But those who do should be lawfully permitted.

I shall vote for the Green Party candidate in my local election, despite his silly party leader, because he's been a conscientious district councillor. He and my Green Party County Councillor have, perhaps wisely, kept shtum on the trans issue. I suspect there are many more like them.

So called “gender affirming care” is the biggest medical scandal of our time. A new Finnish study reports that youth gender transitions (under age 23) did not improve mental health symptoms. For some youth, medical gender reassignment may have had a negative impact.

Despite rumours, feminism is still commonly believed to have something to do with women.

Cambridge dictionary
Feminism
the belief that women should be allowed the same rights, power, and opportunities as men and be treated in the same way, or the set of activities intended to achieve this state

Encyclopedia Britannica
At its core, feminism is the belief in full social, economic, and political equality for women. Feminism largely arose in response to Western traditions that restricted the rights of women, but feminist thought has global manifestations and variations.

Merriam-Webster
Feminism
belief in and advocacy of the political, economic, and social equality of the sexes expressed especially through organized activity on behalf of women's rights and interests

Oxford English Dictionary
Feminism
Advocacy of equality of the sexes and the establishment of the political, social, and economic rights of the female sex; the movement associated with this (see note below). Cf. womanism n., women's liberation n.

Arms manufacturers produce property-destroying weapons with no criminal liability. Why should they then invoke criminal damage protections when their property is destroyed? Either they're liable for the destruction they enable, or they ought to be exempt; unable to seek those protections. #Filton5

Mandelson was sacked months ago. I don't believe coverage of whether Starmer will resign would ever have been so intense had he simply not broken so many of his 2020 pledges. And either had a plan for growth or gone straight for fiscal expansion. Starmer will go because of Starmer, not Epstein.

Wes Streeting saying on Today that Mandelson is ‘not the man we thought he was’ but the trouble is, he is exactly the man we thought, just on a much worse scale than almost anyone thought. And there is an alternative world where none of this is this govt’s problem, because they never gave him a job
