the weaponisation of antisemitism in the uk is bonkers these ppl fire off antisemitic cartoons of polanski regularly but as soon as the subject of israel comes up they start calling everyone antisemites it's kind of comical if you can get past the coordination of it revealing we live under fascism

russell t. davies interview in the times. this is the country the labour party has created. a rancid, anti-lgbt+, shithole. five years ago this would have bedn unthinkable. @lucympowell.bsky.social and andy burnham have the nerve to say ‘hope again’. they’re responsible for this:
"I'm called a paedophile and a groomer online by people like [Father Ted creator and anti-trans activist] Graham Linehan, and now people believe what they read. People believe it when they're told the Earth is flat," he says. His support for trans rights has resulted in years of death threats and
"groomer" smears, which he used to brush off. "But the online world is becoming the real world. People have worked out my address, and one person turned up at my house. If you believe a paedophile lives here, it's not the maddest thing in the world to come and get me. I've been saying for years that our rights are paper-thin, and here we are. What scares me is that I can't see an end to it. Nothing is going to unseat these tech barons - it will require some sort of revolution to stop them. So for the first time in history, hatred is being monetised by an algorithm."

Brexit Bin 🇪🇺 🇬🇧 🇩🇪 @brexitbin.bsky.social · 23/08/2026
The white-supremacist Nathan Cofnas lied to the media about his job at Ghent University. But instead of double-checking it, the British media just took him at his word. ... Here are some relevant excerpts from Ghent University's letter to suspend him for what amounts to academic fraud.
Your employment contract (article 1) and the vacancy for which you were recruited (ref. LW01) define your research mandate as a study of 'the future of liberalism', specifically focusing on liberalism as a political doctrine emphasizing individual freedom and equality. The projects you publicly and repeatedly associate with your ffiliation at Ghent Universitv y, most notably you
'Guide for the Hereditarian Revolution' which advocates for racial barriers and segregation, fall entirely outside the scope of your official research mandate.

During a recent podcast interview with Winston Marshall published on 9 August 2026, you explicitly stated that you are currently continuing your work on 'race realism' and the 'hereditarian revolution' at Ghent University. These public claims, and the activities you describe, are fundamentally inconsistent with the contractual scope of your employment and constitute a manifest violation of your professional obligations towards this University.

The gravity of these cumulative breaches, involving deliberate public misrepresentation and the misuse of the University's reputation to promote ideologies that conflict with its core values, as well as your decision to continue your research into 'hereditary evolution' and 'racial realism' at Ghent University, contrary to the terms of your employment, concern a breach of your ethical duties as a member of staff at our University and therefore qualify as a disciplinary offence committed within the university context.

Not In Our Name (NION) Women @nionwomen.bsky.social · 07/08/2026
Too often, the public conversation gives the impression that one narrow viewpoint speaks for all women. It doesn't. Over 100,000 UK women have already signed our letter because they believe in fairness, inclusion and treating trans+ people with kindness, compassion, and inclusively. Join us.
“The majority of women are trans-inclusive, or are happy just living their lives alongside trans people without any concern. However, we are being ignored – by politicians and the media – in preference to a small, loud, group of ‘gender critical’ anti-trans lobbyists masquerading as ‘feminists’.”

These messages are from UK women who know that behind every headline is a human being who deserves kindness, dignity and joy. We hope these words bring even a small moment of comfort to trans+ people in the UK today. 💗 #WithTheT #NotInOurName
I'm appalled that the lives of trans people have been used as a political football, to score points by raising a faux moral panic. The politicians and media types who have done this to you, for their own gain, need to be held to account by society. 

Trans rights are human rights and it's time everyone came together to protect them. I can't imagine the fear this has caused to you and your community. The fact that trans people are ostracized and even criminalised just for living their lives is a stain on our country. This is not in my name. 
I stand with you. xxxEveryone should be free to be who they want to be, and that is a world I will strive towards. 

You are unique and beautiful.You are wanted, loved and appreciated. The strength and resilience you demonstrate everyday is awe inspiring. 

Thank you for being yourself xxxYour sisters will stand with you, not just today but every single day, until we win! An attack on one of us, is an attack on all of us and your existence matters. 

All my love, a Cis Black sister xxx

Just in case there’s any doubt... they did say it is based on the vile transphobic bigot Alice Sullivans’s demand.
The changes made, in April 2026, to the PRSB Core Information Standard relating to sex and gender were undertaken as a response to Professor Alice Sullivans report Independent review of data, statistics and research on sex and gender - GOV.UK, which noted safety issues in data sets and clinical records managed both by NHSE and PRSB. The work was agreed alongside Prof Sullivan herself, and implemented
by the PRSB into their core standard earlier this year.
