It’s fascinating that English progressives seem so keen to celebrate Burnham as a leftwing hope whereas in Scotland the view is ‘nope, it’s just words - prove it or beat it’. Independence provides a completely different prism. I feel genuine sympathy that English progressives seem to feel so trapped

I had my mother advise me to make sure I was fully packed and ready to go before I gave my father bad news because she was sure he would physically attack me. The 'bad news' in question was 'I am trans'.

Like there's a reason they hate trans women in the women's loos but don't give a fuck about cleaning men. The staff aren't real people to them, other people pissing are on the same level as them and they HATE it. Its also why they hate the word cis, it puts trans and cis on the the same level.

GB News presenter and former Reform UK candidate Matt Goodwin told delegates at the party’s conference that he believes there is one general election left to “save this country”.

He said millions of people feel that there is “a sense that if we don’t change the direction of this country soon, then the country we love will soon be unrecognisable”.

“I believe we only have one general election left to save this country,” he added.

Goodwin added that the Tories have “completely betrayed” the British people by replacing the best and brightest in the country with “drug dealing goat herders”.

He told delegates: “The Tories imported millions of low-wage, low-skilled, poorly educated migrants from radically different cultures outside Europe, including illiterate goat herders from Iraq, who moved to Aberystwyth, who set up a drug dealing ring and terrorised local people by selling crack cocaine and heroin.”

He added that diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) are “code words for anti-white racism”.

This follows a pattern of existing trans health care being withdrawn until someone "proves it's safe", instead existing trans health continuing unless or until there's clear evidence of any harms. See also: puberty blocker ban, withdrawal of hormones for under-18s

They used "freedom of speech" as a buzzword to try to force the university to platform an anti-trans bigot and to remove trans inclusive equality policies, despite the fact that no law was broken. This should not be brushed aside as "lessons learned", this was an attempted political assassination.

you'll need to read to paragraph 12 of this 12 paragraph article to find out this was about trans people, and you'll have to read another article entirely if you want to find out that Stock essentially wrote the OFS case for them (because she was mates with the head of the OFS)

Record fine for university that failed to protect the free speech of trans critics
Daily Mail27 Mar 2025By Eleanor Harding Education Editor
SUSSEX University has been fined £585,000 over a transgender row which ended in an academic being driven out of her job.

The Office for Students (OfS) imposed the penalty following an investigation involving Professor Kathleen Stock, who was ‘cancelled’ on campus for her gender views.

It is the first time the OfS has imposed a fine on a university over a free-speech issue, and it paves the way for similar action against other institutions. It is also the highest fine handed out to a university by the OfS.

The three-year inquiry was based around university gender policies and whether they could be creating an unwelcome

‘The policy had a chilling effect’

atmosphere for gender-critical academics. It started in 2021 after a national outcry when Professor Stock, a philosophy lecturer, was hounded out of her job by student activists.

Professor Stock believes those born male should not have an automatic right to women-only spaces if they identify as female, which campaigners challenged.

Students launched a protest to get her fired which included demonstrations and defamatory posters. She resigned in October that year after continuing to receive hostility from not only students but also from colleagues and the University and College Union.

The investigation found Sussex’s transgender equality policy had a ‘chilling’ effect on Professor Stock’s views as well as those of students and other staff.

The policy forced tutors to ‘positively represent trans people and trans lives’ in their teaching, and banned what they called ‘transphobic propaganda’.

Arif Ahmed, director for freedom of speech at the OfS, said: ‘We know that Professor Stock changed the way she taught her course as a result. And we are concerned that a chilling effect may have caused many more students and academics at the university to self-censor their expression or

Oftentimes the Western attitude towards non-Westerners is so baked into their worldviews they don't even notice it. But it's very obvious, when the majority of anti-war sentiment coalesces around "throwing away the lives of troops", that the lives of those outside the metropole don't matter at all.
