Notice how many ‘gender critical’ transphobes were involved in piling onto Jason Arday… even in death! They really are hateful ghouls! 😫

All these ‘sensitive’ guilt ridden pieces, by people trying to wash their hands of the horror they committed, or sat by and watched. As time will tell, Jason Arday has been horrifically traduced and misused. And a talented young man has been lost to the nation. Shame on us all

The British Media Vs. Plagiarism
4 panel comic

Panel 1: 
British Journalists are relaxing on lilos in the sea. Someone on the shore yells “Hey Guys! An academic got accused of plagiarism”

Panel 2: 
One of the journalists sticks out their tongue and says “Pffft. Wake me when there’s a real story”

Panel 3: 
Person on shore “He was black”

Panel 4: 
The sea explodes as a tidal wave of British Journalists erupt into the air, manic and desperate to report on this now vital for some reason piece of news

Dozens of gas-burning power plants are being built across the country, solely to power data centers. These plants could emit as much planet-warming pollution as half of all passenger vehicles in the entire country in a single YEAR. We need a data center moratorium — now.

Quite easily, really. Decent men will stay out, as they always have, so we can assume all who don't are a threat, given their disregard for women's and girls' safety, privacy and dignity. Photographing, reporting and disseminating such men's images online will be a piece of cake.

How are you planning to police public toiletsAnyone using such facilities will usually have a strong expectation of privacy. Recording or photographing someone inside a bathroom without consent may amount to a criminal offence, depending on the circumstance.
A photo taken to expose or shame someone as trans+ may amount to harassment, or otherwise be unlawful depending on the circumstance.

I think this is significant - they're now specifically highlighting *Christian* beliefs alongside transphobic ones. This is going to lead into pushing to get anti-abortion views protected in the NHS. We said it was coming. It's arrived.

"Arty" was one of the "gay men who agree with us" in the "gender critical" movement, and once Graham Linehan's Youtube cohost. In recent years, he contributes less and less because he can't stomach the homophobia in the GC movement, but still can't grasp that this means the movement is bigoted.
Shame, because there is genuinely and unambiguously a gay backlash, riding on the trans movement. Sadly, a lot of it comes from well within the "gender critical" movement. Many critics of trans have decided their anger merits lashing out at gays as well, and boy have they.

In his statement, posted online, the prime minister has written more about his aim to stop the early release of PC Harper's killers.
"It will be based on a range of options including the three strands of further work I asked him [the justice secretary] to initiate last week: increasing the rate of removal of foreign national offenders from the prison estate to their country of origin; finding an early resolution to the long-running injustice of IPP sentences, which could allow for the release of lower-risk prisoners; and making greater use of the entire prison estate including using the female estate for male offenders.
