You see, recent immigration from regions dominated by tribes imported their marriage practices, too. This wouldn’t have mattered if the numbers had been moderate. My dad came to the UK from Pakistan and met my mum — and their marriage fostered a wonderful union. Dad had found a fabulous wife but also a social bridge into his adopted home, and he came to love this nation more than any other on earth. But as numbers rose, western nations presided over the emergence of segregated communities within the nation state. In them, patriarchs wield power, marriages are often arranged (or forced), postal votes are centrally determined and tribal animosities are imported. Nash has written of communities “concentrated in small geographical areas where there is little need or opportunity to have much to do with wider society”. The appalling crime wave in Sweden (a nation that took a particularly permissive approach to immigration) is, I believe, due to some of its clans morphing — as in Sicily during the 19th century — into crime syndicates. Tribalism is an efficient social organisation for criminality: intense loyalty, clear differentiation from outsiders and little truck with rules given by an external authority. Soaring gun violence has boosted the far right, which shows how dangerously complacent “liberals” have been.

“Changing facilities, toilets, and other single sex facilities. Trans people are entitled to use single sex facilities in accordance with their gender identity. For non-binary people, this might mean using gender-neutral or accessible facilities or using a combination of different facilities. However, trans people will never be required to use gender neutral toilets unless they wish to do so.”

The SNP government, having earned a reputation as the UK’s most enthusiastic proponent of trans rights, has now conceded that there could be a fatal weakness in allowing patients to change their sex on medical records.

The latest announcement from the Department for the Bleedin’ Obvious comes in the form of a draft policy that admits to “unintended negative consequences” of a trans-inclusive policy, which allows patients to wipe references to their biological sex and instead be recognised in line with their gender identity.

It’s the final nail in the coffin for what is left of Nicola Sturgeon’s legacy. So committed was the former first minister to trans ideology that she pressed ahead with the Gender Recognition Reform Act (GRRA) in 2022, allowing under-18s to change their legal gender, and opening the door to anyone, whether or not they suffered from gender dysphoria, to self-identify as their preferred gender after only three months and without the approval of a GP.

Energy firms held a combined £8.1bn of customers’ bill overpayments at the start of 2023, new Ofgem figures show.

Many households pay a set monthly amount, building up credit in the summer to cover higher winter bills.

Companies can hold onto those overpayments, but MP Angus MacNeil accused them of holding “too much money” and “sitting on a nest egg”.

Industry group Energy UK said direct debits were based on forecasts made when unit prices were volatile.

Customers can request refunds, it added.

The system is designed so customers have higher amounts of credit in September and October heading into the winter, but it should balance out close to zero in April and May heading into the summer.

Energy regulator Ofgem said that “customers have the right to request their balance back at any time and be refunded in a timely fashion”.

But one customer, Dan Malcolm, told the BBC it took six weeks and hours spent on multiple phone calls to get just some of his money back.

The father-of-three from Dunfermline unknowingly built up £1,100 of credit with his supplier in September 2022…………………………………………………

While we’re inundated with images of porn-sodden AGPs clad in all manner of fetish gear, it’s important to note that the most dangerous of these men try to appear as normal as possible. You’ll find no fishnets or pumpkin-sized prosthesis on these husbands and fathers. They don’t want to jar our senses but muddle them.

These men make good use of photo ops, often surrounding themselves with compliant women or people with powerful platforms for forced teaming purposes. Butter wouldn’t melt in the mouths of Righteous Richard, Darling David and Ms. Frumpy McPurplehair of TEN It just so happens that they, along with the man below, use children to further the acceptance of the paraphilia they chose to indulge 24/7. Whether it be as props, shields, targets, foot soldiers, prospective patients, etc, kids are part of their MO.

Though their specific approaches may differ - one admits he’s male to further his agenda, another depends on political chasms, others piggyback on righteous movements in small countries - their philosophies are no different to those of these men (who you might notice are also moderately attired.)

What these men have in common aside from their dedication to a fetish and deep seated misogyny is that they’re not immediately written off as creeps. They have influence outside the online, porn-sodden underbelly. Some have more power than others but not one of them is harmless. All are practiced manipulators. All are a danger to women and kids.

And the fishnets and PVC mini skirts? That’s kept behind closed doors often to the torment, abuse, neglect of wives, girlfriends and kids.

Listen to women who know these men, not people who benefit from centring creeps.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12602715/Fury-string-public-bodies-develop-male-menopause-policies.html

Police forces in the UK and Ireland are being encouraged to adopt ‘agile and flexible’ working practices to ‘help, support, and guide all officers’ dealing with menopause, regardless of gender.

Meanwhile, several councils and numerous universities have adopted their own male menopause policies, which critics say are leaving women fighting for ‘ownership of something which is biologically female’.

Caroline Ffiske, from campaign group Conservatives For Women, said the wokery undid ‘years of fighting for menopause recognition’.

She said: ‘It’s absolutely ludicrous to take the female menopause and extend that concept to men.

‘Women can’t have anything of their own. They can’t have their own spaces, they can’t have their own words and now they can’t even have their own recognition of their bodily differences.

‘It’s absurd and insulting to women that we now have to fight for our illnesses and conditions and further erosion of women’s rights.’


https://reduxx.info/portugal-trans-identified-male-with-murder-of-parents-in-psychotic-episode/

A trans-identified male has appeared in court on charges of the brutal murder of his father and the attempted murder of his mother. Tânia Ferrinho, 43, is accused of stabbing his father seventeen times and stabbing his bedridden mother seven times, in a horrific incident that occurred in October of 2022 in Samora Correia, Portugal.

Sources of the conflict between Ferrinho and his parents were said to have centered around his sex change procedures, which they disapproved of. Ferrinho began to identify as transgender in 2020, when he legally changed his name to Tânia.

Another significant source of tension related to finances, as Ferrinho reportedly had never worked or held down a stable job and was living at home dependent on his aging parent’s resources. Ana Gomes of the Public Prosecutor’s Office told the court that the relationship was strained due to the “inertia of the defendant” in finding a job while using his parent’s income for “online shopping.”

In the final deliberations of the case, the Public Prosecutor’s Office attempted to rationalize the murder as being the result of “the inner conflict” presented by Ferrinho’s transgender identity. Gomes stated that there is “sensitivity to understanding the inner conflict of someone who, from a young age, does not identify with the gender they were born with.”

However, Gomes further added that “[he] did not show any remorse” for the crime, and asked for a sentence which considered the gravity of the offense…………………………………………

In his closing speech in Manchester on Wednesday, Mr Sunak claimed it was “common sense” to say that “a man is a man and a woman is a woman”.

The defendants are all aged 19 or 20 and come from the Israeli Arab town of Majd al-Krum. They deny the charges.

A group of 67 women from Greenland are seeking compensation from the Danish government over a campaign of involuntary birth control in the 1960s.

At least 4,500 women, some of them teenagers, were fitted with coils under a programme intended to limit birth rates among the indigenous population.

An inquiry is due to conclude in 2025, but the women, some of whom are in their 70s, want compensation now.

They are seeking 300,000 kroner (£34,880; $42,150) each.

During a Sky News debate on the treatment of women in the media Moya Lothian-McLean, a contributing editor at Novara Media, discovered GB News contributor Connor Tomlinson had been paid for his participation but she had not been.

Writing on Twitter, Ms Lothian-Mclean said: “The man who was arguing society isn’t structurally unequal for women was getting paid to appear in a ‘debate’ about misogyny and I wasn’t.”

She later posted that she had been offered £75 but Mr Tomlinson had been offered £200. It is not clear whether Ms Lothian-Mclean was offered the £75 when she was first invited to take part in the programme, or whether the payment was suggested after the show was broadcast and the discrepancy with her male debate partner was brought to light.

https://www.spiked-online.com/2023/10/01/the-dark-legacy-of-magnus-hirschfeld/

For a long time since his death in 1935, German physician and ‘sexologist’ Magnus Hirschfeld has been a largely forgotten figure. But, in recent years, he has undergone a quite striking rehabilitation. He is now hailed as one of ‘the first great pioneers of the gay-liberation movement’ and, perhaps more pertinently, celebrated for his advocacy of ‘transgender rights’.

Today, of course, the dark side of Hirschfeld’s Institute for Sexual Research is predictably obscured. It is praised instead for performing ‘the first modern gender-affirmation surgeries in the world’. Hirschfeld had long argued that homosexuality indicated the existence of a third, intermediate sex, in addition to men and women – that some homosexuals, as Hirschfeld had it, could have a ‘woman’s soul trapped in a man’s body’. It was this belief that had already helped precipitate a schism in the SHC (and therefore the nascent gay movement) in the early 1900s, between those like Adolf Brand and Benedict Friedläender, who believed in same-sex attraction, and those like Hirschfeld, who promoted something close to what we would now call gender ideology.


God, it’s desperate, isn’t it.

Here is my review of the data provided by Correctional Services Canada on the total population of gender diverse prisoners in the federal prison system over a couple of years.

Turns out - many of the claims that we made about the disproportionate numbers of incarcerated transwomen having histories of sexual and extreme violence are right. It is not a ‘one-off problem’. As a group (incarcerated males who also identify as women), they have higher rates of sexual and extreme violence than their male incarcerated counterparts or women in the federal prisons.

Over the time period studied:

Nearly half of transwomen have histories of sexual offences.

ZERO gender-diverse females with histories of sexual offences.

Also turns out the vast majority of gender-diverse prisoners in Canada are males with around 20 being accommodated in 1 of the handful of female federal prisoners that exist.

The data comes from OMS records. This is a TOTAL sample, meaning it included every trans and gender diverse prisoner that had declared or indicated that they wanted gender accommodations.

TLDR: The dataset reviewed in the blog below provides early and relatively clear evidence that gender identity does not override what we know about male pattern offending. It also shows that the effect of self-identification policies in prisons are disproportionately born by female prisons (in that the challenges of placing gender diverse prisoners according to gender identity are challenges faced almost exclusively within the female estate and not vice versa).

Brits are turning against gender ideology

In news that has left members of the dinner-party set spluttering over their decolonised soya lattes, it turns out the great British public isn’t as bigoted as they fantasised. Published last week, the latest British Attitudes Survey (BAS) has shown that Brits are increasingly tolerant of same-sex relationships and ever-more accepting of sex before marriage or abortion.

But perhaps most tellingly, as attitudes toward sexual morality have become more liberal, attitudes toward transgenderism have become far less sympathetic.

‘Today, gay men and lesbians are being branded as discriminatory bigots for being attracted exclusively to one sex, their own’, says Barker. ‘This is the result of gender-identity ideology, which promotes the belief that it is valid for some men to “identify” as women and vice versa. Believers in this ideology say it’s “transphobic” for lesbians to rule out all males who “identify as lesbians” as potential sexual partners. It is a bizarre reversal of the prejudice we faced in the Seventies and Eighties.’

The woke world of Justin Trudeau

Justin Trudeau has said it’s “deeply embarrassing” that the Canadian parliament gave a standing ovation to a Second World War veteran last week – without realising that the veteran had fought for the Nazis. True enough, it was embarrassing. But then, so was Mr Trudeau’s apology. The blunder, said the Canadian prime minister in a televised statement, “was deeply, deeply painful for Jewish people. It also hurt Polish people, Roma people, 2SLGBTQI+ people…”

An NHS consultant who raised concerns a young mother’s death in childcare had been the result of clinical negligence told a tribunal he was stunned when the trust’s chief executive then said he was an ‘unacceptable risk’ to patient safety.

When obstetrician Martyn Pitman questioned Alex Whitfield about what evidence she had of this, to his ‘astonishment’ she replied ‘I don’t have any’, an employment tribunal heard.

The consultant of 20 years, with an ‘exemplary’ clinical record, claims he was forced out of his job when he blew the whistle on poor care putting patients at risk and causing the woman’s death in childbirth.

The 57-year-old alleges he was subjected to a ‘vexatiously lodged’ disciplinary investigation for blowing the whistle in 2019.

https://www.spiked-online.com/2023/09/29/the-croydon-stabbing-in-the-shadow-of-nihilism/

What people feel, I think, is that there is a kind of low-level mob rule in this country now. That the decay of the old forms of authority – policing, the justice system, school discipline, even the rule of parents – has emboldened the exercise of newer forms of authority. The authority of the knife, of brute strength, of swagger. The desertion of our streets by nervous police forces, and the desertion of the realm of morality by elites who cannot even say what Britain’s values are, appears to have paved the way for a soft mobocracy that is armed, mobile, unforgiving and more than willing to replace our withered values with its own merciless ones.

The cult of the knife starts to look like the militant wing of the cult of narcissism. Urban youths defend their ‘reputations’ from slight even more fiercely than middle-class youths protect their identities. In both cases, though, for all that they are worlds apart, a pained and fragile vanity seems to rule the day. We are witnessing a violent manifestation of the sanctification of the self. Having abandoned the great and taxing task of socialising the young into the values of the community, and having simultaneously encouraged the belief that one’s self-esteem matters over all else, Britain has no right to be shocked that anti-social behaviour has become a problem, and that violent self-regard now seems to be on the cards.

https://reduxx.info/uk-activist-mayor-resigns-after-photos-surface-showing-him-socializing-with-pedophile-ex-councillor/

The Mayor of Hackney, London, was suspended by the Labour Party and subsequently resigned following the emergence of photos showing him socializing with a pedophile ex-town councilor. Phillip Glanville, a strong proponent of gender ideology policies, was responsible for raising the first “progress flag” at Hackney Town Hall.

Despite having been arrested for paedophilic crimes, Dewey was elected a councillor in Hackney.

Dewey was charged in June of 2023 and sentenced in August at Wood Green Crown Court after pleading guilty to three counts of possessing indecent images of children. At least five of the images Dewey had on his devices were classified in the most serious category.

Glanville criticised the UK government’s decision to block Scotland’s gender reform bill in January 2023. The bill would have allowed anyone to self identify their legal gender and was criticised by various women’s rights groups. Despite the pushback, the bill was passed but was blocked by the UK government in an unprecedented move.

Maths teacher Jamie Samson was taken to hospital with a single wound after being attacked at Tewkesbury Academy in Gloucestershire on 10 July.

The boy, who cannot be named for legal reasons, admitted one count of unlawful and malicious wounding with intent to cause serious injury.

He was sentenced at Bristol Youth Court to youth detention for 14 months.

He had previously pleaded guilty to a charge of possessing a bladed article following the attack.

The court was told the teenager put on a snood and a hooded top to cover his face, and had taken a six-inch knife from his home.

A man who avoided jail for raping a 13-year-old girl suffered a “very significant miscarriage of justice”, his lawyer said as he appealed against his conviction.

Sean Hogg, 22, was found guilty of attacking the girl multiple times in Dalkeith Country Park in 2018 when he was 17. He was spared jail this year after Judge Lord Lake said that he was under 25 and would have been jailed for up to five years had he been older.

Under new court guidance, drawn up by the Scottish Sentencing Council, criminals under the age of 25 are treated more leniently because of their supposed brain immaturity.

The Crown Office had planned to challenge the “unduly lenient” sentence. However, Scotland’s most senior judges will now review whether the conviction will be quashed because of legal errors.

Donald Findlay KC told the Court of Criminal Appeal in Edinburgh that Lord Lake did not follow correct legal procedures to establish guilt during Hogg’s trial. The advocate told the appeal judges, Lady Dorrian, Lord Matthews and Lord Pentland, that Lake’s actions resulted in his client being wrongly convicted.

The tree, which stood 36 metres tall and sat in a large dip in Northumberland National Park, was one of the most photographed in the country. It was also known as the Robin Hood Tree after featuring in the 1991 film Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, starring Kevin Costner.

It had been cleanly sawed at the base of the trunk, with white spray paint left there. Its crown was left on the other side of the Roman wall. Police tape was erected this morning and officers could be seen on site.

This afternoon, Northumbria police said they had arrested a 16-year-old boy in connection with the incident. He remains in police custody.

A trans-identified male who works for a UK-based charity to provide “diversity training” has been honored with the Outstanding Female LGBTQIA+ Champion 2023 award. Katie Neeves, formerly Martin, has previously prompted criticism for stating during a training session that he used to steal his sister’s underwear.

The Outstanding Female LGBTQIA+ Champion award given to Neeves was presented at the at the East and West Midlands Women’s Awards on September 22. According to its official website, the purpose of the Women’s Awards is “to raise awareness, recognize and honor the hard work and valuable contribution women of all cultures, communities, races, and beliefs, in all sectors make.” Among the event’s sponsors are Loughborough University and the University of Leicester School of Business.

In social media posts where Neeves shared the news, he also boasted about several other awards he’d received in the past twelve months. Neeves also told the employees during the diversity training webinar that he was a lesbian woman.

“In my case, I’ve always been attracted to women, and I still am. It’s been one of the constants in my life. It’s just that for me, the labels changed. Previously, I was labeled as a heterosexual man, now I’m labeled as a lesbian.”

Identifying as a lesbian, Neeves suggests, caused a rift in his marriage: “As for my wife, her label hadn’t changed,” he said…………………………………………………….

In correspondence obtained by The Telegraph, the doctor, a female GP, claims to have raised concerns widely with senior NHS leaders and that “almost all” of them shared her concerns but were unwilling to speak out publicly.

It’s not all just American money. Scotland’s richest man is Anders Holch Povlsen, a Danish billionaire said to now own even more land in Scotland than King Charles. He has his hand in everything, from rewilding projects, through to Highland space ports.

Not all the investment has been universally welcomed. There have been anti-Trump protests and most recently a revolt against the Taymouth Castle plans, with over 150,000 signatories to a petition against it.

This opposition is perhaps understandable given Scotland’s popular liberal land access laws that enshrine the universal right to roam. And that even the ‘wild’ parts of the Highlands are no virginal wilderness, the ‘untouched playground’ said to be in earlier DLC publicity material; rather a manmade wilderness forged through the mass depopulation of the tumultuous Highland Clearances. There are worries that a new type of Clearances could shut out local communities. There is real controversy, perhaps reflected in DLC declining our approach for comment.

https://reduxx.info/germany-pro-prostitution-picture-book-offered-to-children-by-government-officials/

The city of Berlin has prompted outrage from locals after offering a graphic picture book on prostitution to children via its official website. The book, titled Rosie Needs Money (Rosi sucht Geld), is advertised as a resource for youth aged 6 to 12 years old.

According to Equal Opportunities Officer Kerstin Drobick, the book is designed to explain prostitution to children of families residing in a red-light district of Berlin, located in Kurfürstenkiez, known as Kurfürstenstraße.

“But they don’t seem to find much money. Their clothes are not enough. Their breasts and legs must freeze in winter,” observes Maryam. “Today we decided to finally ask Rosie what she does with men. Actually, we already know. They give her money and want to make love.”

Martin then appears to reference pornography, saying: “It’s different from mom and dad. Mom makes love to dad, but Rosie’s men don’t make love, they make sex like on TV.”

In the book, Rosie suggests that men use prostitutes due to lonliness, and advertises the sex trade as a legitimate and important field.

The study, conducted by the University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf in Germany, used both self-identified biological sex and gender identity, and reported that up to 10% of women were pedophiles.

The authors note that they excluded individuals who identify as male, and use the keywords “female pedophilia” and “female-perpetrated offenses” in their outline.

Anyone UK?

I’m looking for a sample pot sized…or more than one if the company only do tiny ones…paint for small project.

Does anyone do colour matching online that also posts them out? Seeing as I can’t get anywhere to do it myself.

Friend’s mum…whose house is fab, so arty, cosy and colourful…had it on wall and I’m like, this is the green I have been trying and failing to get, but she can’t remember what make she used, as it was years ago and she is in her 80s now and not everything is lodged in her memory for this kind of thing.

No…really?


Oh no. Was there anything valuable in it? What about your purse…or wallet as you call it over there?

I am so forgetful too, always scrabbling through satchel and pockets and shopping bags etc.

A newly-qualified 25-year-old former primary school teacher in Erith who “had a sexual interest in children” posed as a young girl on social media, said the Teaching Regulation Agency. Harry Eastham was employed at Christ Church Primary School from July, 2020 until February, 2021 when he was “dismissed”.

A conduct hearing saw Mr Eastham banned from the classroom for life after the panel found three allegations against him proven. The allegations concerning his online activities concerned indecent images of children, discussing sexual activity in relation to children and posing as a 10-year-old girl.

Mr Eastham had started at the Lesney Park Road school as an unqualified class teacher in July 2020 and two months later became a class teacher. He was arrested on December 9 of that year, but he was not charged.

Four artists - Carsten Jost, Surgeon, Imaginary Softwoods and Timnah Sommerfeldt - have pulled out of playing at the 2023 edition of Japan’s The Labyrinth festival, after attention was drawn to comments on trans issues made by co-founder and booker Russell Moench, who also goes by the nickname Russ Monk.

Moench has shared his opposition to the trans rights movement in public posts on social media, including sharing the writing of anonymous gender-critical accounts that have drawn comparisons to the trans rights movement and pro-paedophile organisations, and labelling the term TERF (an acronym meaning ‘trans-exclusionary radical feminist’) as “misogynistic hate speech.”

This morning we will mark the anniversary of the killing of Mahsa Amini and the Iranian women’s movement it ignited. We’ll hear from female academics about the silencing of women in the academy, Black women about the unique types of sexism and misogyny that Black women face, desistance from “trans identities,” and lesbian-only spaces. We’ll have our own consciousness-raising session. We’ll debate about “working with the right.” We’ll hear from Laura Becker about detransition and reclaiming womanhood. We’ll host a panel of the WDI USA Lesbian Caucus on lesbians and the women’s liberation movement.

And finally, we’ll head on over to the launch of A Nasty Piece of Work: The Art of Dissident Feminists, an art space dedicated to exhibiting the work of cancelled female artists.

US: Video of Trans-Identified Male Competing Against Woman In Jiu-Jitsu Match Sparks Controversy

A female athlete was reportedly not told she would be competing against a male during a Brazilian jiu-jitsu tournament in California last week, prompting a policy revision from the North American Grappling Association (NAGA).

On September 12, Brazilian jiu-jitsu athlete Taelor Moore posted a clip to her Instagram account with the caption, “I weighed in at 135 … and she was over 200!” In the video, a much larger male with braided hair steps up to the mat and engages in combat with her.

Trans-Identified Males Racking Up Wins in Women’s Fencing As Trans Activist Officials Claim They Are Fine With Female Athletes Being At A “Disadvantage”

A number of trans-identified males have been dominating women’s fencing championships despite the fact that many of them floundered in the men’s category. A source has now revealed that many women in the sport fear losing opportunities if they speak out against the inclusion of men in women’s fencing.

Another day, another new report showing that half of trans prisoners are sex offenders.

The report, obtained via a 2022 public records request to Wisconsin’s Department of Corrections, shows that of the 161 men in Wisconsin jails who self-reported as transender, 81 (50.3%) were sex offenders.

This figure is borne out scross the English-speaking world. In 2017, the UK feminist group Fair Play for Women showed via Freedom of Information requests that roughly half of the trans-identified male prisoners in the United Kingdom were sex offenders.

The French doctor admitted he didn’t have the training or knowledge to treat trans patients - as experts say there’s no need for a trans woman to visit a gynaecologist at all.

“I only treat real women” - that’s what French gynaecologist Victor Acharian told a 26-year-old transgender woman he refused to treat in his clinic in the south-west of the country recently.

The transgender woman, accompanied by her boyfriend, went to a gynaecological appointment when, after minutes of waiting, the secretary told her that the doctor had refused to see her.

“I told her that I’m not competent, but I can guide you. I can refer you to services that can take better care of you. But after I said that, things went south,” gynaecologist Victor Acharian told Euronews.

“I thought I was being honest when I said it wasn’t my speciality. I don’t know how to treat them and I don’t mind being called ignorant,” he added.

“You’re transphobic!” the young woman reportedly shouted as she left the consulting room. According to the gynaecologist, the patient began to insult his secretary, reacting violently to the refusal………………………………………………………..

EXCLUSIVE: Norwegian Sexologist Linked to Leading Transgender Health Authority Previously Worked With Pro-Pedophilia Lobby Group

A prominent Norwegian psychologist with connections to the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) was previously associated with multinational pro-pedophile groups which lobbied for lowering the age of consent. Thore Langfeldt assisted in the organizing of a 2009 WPATH conference in Oslo primarily focused on gender identity and children.

Reduxx can reveal that during the 1970s and 80’s, Langfeldt wrote extensively about “child sexuality” and positively conveyed case studies of pedophilic relationships. His attempts sought to portray adult-child sexual contact as normal and non-pathological…………………………………………….

Email which was sent to a Head Teacher in Glasgow, by a lady who would rather remain anonymous……………………………

Dear, Head Teacher, as mother of a 14 year old daughter, by the name of   - - - - - / - - - - - - - -  who attends your school, I’m absolutely appalled by your decision to promote and distribute a perverted sex survey to your S4 pupils. Over a number of years, I have noted that the attainment level of schools in Scotland and my child’s school, in particular, dropping in educational standards and well below past or promised attainment levels.

Nicola Sturgeon asked this nation to “judge her on education” and many of us have taken that onboard to watch a failing education system.

You’re very obviously aware of this failing system and yet you go on to accept a truly disgraceful sex questionnaire, written by the Scottish Government and deemed acceptable by Glasgow City Council. You are the Head of your school and you should have shown strength and leadership in your decision to protect the children of your school, but you’ve shirked your responsibilities and so you’re now accountable to all parents who refuse you permission to ask our children private, indecent and wholly inappropriate questions that lots will view as criminality.

I have followed the Glasgow Cabbie’s SCRAP SCHOOL SEX SURVEYS campaign and attended demonstrations along with large amounts of deeply concerned adults. You have shown a complete lack of care for the children who attend your school and I’m aware of at least two teachers employed within your school, who are very much against these surveys which will damage many children and take their innocence from them.

The First Minister of Scotland, was asked by a female MSP if she would feel awkward answering the questions that she helped to create and she refused to answer that question. I must now put this question to you. Would you answer the questions on how many sexual partners you’ve had or if you’ve ever engaged in anal sex, Ms  - - - - - - ?

Why would you feel it’s somehow ok or appropriate to put these private questions to children under your care, questions that you yourself wouldn’t answer?

This is nothing short of child grooming.

Your pupils are under the legal age of consent and as much as you’ll be aware of this, I must remind you that you’re asking your pupils to incriminate themselves in law. As your school complies with ScotGov and our local authority, you are placing our children and my child under significant pressure through your reluctance to ban these surveys from your school.

You are complicit in the grooming of children, minors who should be preparing for further education or employment in a few years time.

As a professional person who works in education myself, I now have reservations about your commitment to the safety of our school children and my daughter, who I keep safe and educate on sex as a responsible parent.

Such is my level of disappointment and anger at your decision to offer your S4 pupils this perverted survey, that I will now look at all options available to me which includes removing my daughter from your school and your leadership.

If we as parents cannot rely on Head Teachers to be solid pillars of the community and firstly protect our children from harm or danger before providing a good education, then we must look at alternative ways of educating our kids away from the murky sleaze which your school has attempted to normalise.

I shall now forward this email to the media and as many politicians as I possibly can prior to children returning to school after the Easter Holidays.

As I come to the end of this email I feel it’s relevant to let you know that my Mother, who’s now retired, was a Head Teacher in Glasgow. I’ve made her aware of the ‘Health and Wellbeing Survey’ and she was equally as appalled as I am with our authorities and schools who’ve agreed to undermine family values and the privacy of our children. I feel dreadfully let down by your decision to comply with government and local authorities and place their importance above the importance of the children under your care.

Yours sincerely

Married at the age of 15 or 16, girls in the drought-affected Marathwada region become mothers in the next couple of years. And then, by the time they are 22 or 23 years old, they have a hysterectomy — a surgery to remove the uterus. Thereafter these cane-cutter women become ‘living working machines’ for their entire life.

“Not only cane contractors but also medical practitioners’ vested commercial interests are behind this. (Carrying out) Unindicated hysterectomies is against medical ethics. Doctors have spread fear in the region that a white or red discharge would result in cancer,” said Ahankari, who has been involved in the community health speciality since 1978. Women, he explained, are made to believe that a womb is useless once children are born and also that they will not have to sit aside without work after a hysterectomy as they will not have periods or get pregnant. “You can see village after village where hysterectomies are being done. Many times the ovary is removed during the hysterectomy surgery,” said Ahankari.

Kale added that many women hardly got any rest after the surgery due to their work burden. “These women, from poor and marginalised sections, bear the brunt of the patriarchal exploitation,” she said.


I wish it would happen tomorrow.


https://consultationhub.edinburgh.gov.uk/sfc/licensing-of-sexual-entertainment-venues-june-2023/consultation/intro/

https://notbuyingit.org.uk/news/

Edinburgh is consulting now on a new strip club (SEV) policy. This is after the strip industry took the council to court for daring to create a policy for zero licenses for stripping. The new draft policy makes no mention of how many stripping licenses there should be, but it still uses the wording that lost the council the court case!

Respond to the consultation:

What to Tell the Council:

Create a policy for zero strip club license , as originally intended and discussed in depth by the council, and ensure exit support for all women at any time working at venues currently licensed for stripping.

No private booths/rooms/areas in any clubs - a blank cheque for extreme sexual contact and abuse.

It is the strip industry (not ending it) that drives the underground industry, including directly feeding the supply and demand for prostitution.

It is strip clubs that keep women out of safe, and often paid work. Women working as lap dancers could even work in exactly the same venues which will become cafes & bars etc instead of strip clubs. Only then will they be in safe, paid work.

A Judge has confirmed the council’s absolute right to introduce a zero policy despite currently licensing stripping at 3 venues; several court cases have shown councils must consider the impact on women more widely and that it is unlawful to dismiss harm-based concerns as ‘moralistic’.

Placing undue reliance on the 1,000s of responses orchestrated by the powerful sex trade lobby risks the council making unlawful decisions that put women both in and outside of the strip industry in even more harm.

The idea for Loose Ends came about when the founders, Jennifer Simonic and Masey Kaplan, both avid knitters, realized that they had a shared experience: Friends would often ask them to finish blankets, sweaters, or other projects left undone by deceased loved ones. They always do so enthusiastically, understanding what it feels like to wear something a loved one has made.


I wonder if we will get the usual wild and woolly equinox weather here, it’s due on the 23rd and it usually gets stormy at them. They say this is not connected to that but you could, almost, bet your boots on it happening!

Today’s local paper, cove in Plockton and surrounding fields covered in human shit. People actually seeing them squatting in the fields! Apparently, it is now the thing to cut costs and hire commercial vans rather than actual campers, so of course no fittings in them, and then just go wild, so to speak. The shore is in an awful mess, strewn with faeces and also that they will not pay to use the community run public lavs, they are in the red due to fall in revenue. They can go on as much as they like about lack of amenities etc, but when they refuse to use those that there are, and let’s face it, such things have always been few and far between in such places and people did not behave like this.

I’m sick of these fuckers, the woman mentioned in the crowd funder was belted by a Swiss tourist on the wrong  side of the road, she and the dog survived, how is a miracle.

My friend at home was almost taken out the other night too, again, a tourist in a van on the wrong side of the road.

Under new legislation, which sailed through its third reading in the Commons this week, homeowners and landlords whose properties don’t meet Net Zero targets could be fined £15,000 and jailed for up to a year. Yep, you could end up behind bars if you fail to fit a heat pump.

While most reporting of the Energy Bill has centred on the Government’s shameful U-turn on allowing onshore wind farms, there has been scant coverage of the clauses which criminalise failure to comply with ‘energy efficiency’ regulations.

If the Bill passes into law, it will provide for the imposition of ‘civil penalties’ not exceeding £15,000 and ‘criminal offences’ not exceeding 12 months’ imprisonment.

Anyone selling or letting a property must obtain an energy performance certificate. Inspectors will be given the power to order ‘improvements’ and prevent the property being sold or let if they are not carried out to the letter.

Such improvements will include fitting heat pumps, loft insulation, double glazing and so-called ‘smart appliances’.

Compulsory installation of smart meters, fridges, washing machines, immersion heaters and so on, all connected to the internet, will allow the Government and the energy companies to monitor electricity consumption and switch off your supply if they think you’re using too much.

I’m not making this stuff up. It’s all there in Hansard, Parliament’s official record.

Homeowners are being hit with Ulez charges without leaving the house as tradesmen include fees in bills.

Tradesmen are passing on Sadiq Khan’s daily £12.50 Ulez charge to their customers in invoices in order to off-set the cost of the levy to their businesses.

The additional costs are likely to frustrate customers as self-employed tradesmen can claim back the Ulez charges as a business expense on their tax bills. It also raises questions of whether tradesmen can charge each customer the full £12.50 – even if they are seeing multiple clients in the same area that day.

The Mirror’s use of female pronouns and the word ‘woman’ has not fooled anyone. As a ‘community note’ on X helpfully points out below the post: ‘This is not a woman. This is a man.’

So why are the media doing this? The Mirror has at least managed to avoid using the widely mocked phrase ‘her penis’. But ‘her genitals’? Come on. We all know what’s really going on in this story.

Thanks to the rise of gender ideology, the media are treating a perverted man’s fantasy – that he is a woman, rather than a man – as if it were a fact. They have placed the subjective feelings of a sex offender above observable reality.

It’s time for the news media to stop pandering to perverts.

http://www.hebrides-news.com/warning-on-universal-postal-service-7923.html

Plans to review the Royal Mail’s six-day a week service pose a danger to postal deliveries in the Western Isles, Torcuil Crichton has warned. The Labour candidate for Na h-Eileanan an Iar has sounded the alarm bell after Ofcom signalled it is preparing the case to end the Royal Mail’s universal service obligation.

Ofcom, the communications regulator, announced this week that it is to produce “options” for the future of the postal service later this year. The universal postal service is essentially the ‘one price goes anywhere’ principle of affordable postal services to all UK addresses.

It requires Royal Mail to deliver letters to every address in the UK, six days a week, at a uniform price, and parcels five days a week. Mr Crichton said: “If Ofcom is preparing a case to end the Royal Mail’s universal service obligation that should ring door bells from Ness to Barra.

“If the service is cut back you don’t need google maps to predict the postcodes which would suffer and how it would lay the ground for varying charges for postal deliveries to the islands.”

The islands and large parts of the Highlands are already penalised by large parcel delivery services. The Scottish parliament library research has estimated that the Western Isles pay £2.8 million in excess delivery charges every year.

Mr Crichton said: “Many people, particularly the elderly, to not have access to electronic mail and many businesses rely on making sure there is a next day delivery service across the UK.

The Labour candidate added: “Ofgem is preparing a consultation although the intention seems clear. Ultimately, it would be for the UK Government and Parliament to determine whether any changes are needed to the minimum requirements of the universal service.

“When that consultation starts let’s make sure we save the universal postal service for all our sakes.”

Mexico’s supreme court has decriminalised abortion nationwide.

The judgement comes two years after the court ruled in favour of a challenge to the existing law in the northern state of Coahuila. It had ruled that criminal penalties for terminating pregnancies were unconstitutional.

Mexico’s states and the federal government had since been slow to repeal penal codes.

The new ruling legalises abortion across all 32 states.

The supreme court said the denial of the possibility of a termination violated the human rights of women.

“In cases of rape, no girl can be forced to become a mother - neither by the state nor by her parents nor her guardians,” said the head of the supreme court, Arturo Zaldívar.


We’re really lucky, our vet is amazing and not extortionate.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-66733077

The CMA was also concerned about changes in ownership of vet practices in recent years.

Independent practices accounted for 89% of the UK veterinary industry in 2013 - but that had fallen to about 45% by 2021, said the CMA.

“In some cases, a single company may own hundreds of practices and it may be unclear to people whether their vet is part of a large group”, the CMA said. “This could impact pet owners’ choices and reduce the incentives of local vet practices to compete”.

These are not happy times. Across the West, the vast majority of voters are fed up with the status quo, furious at the political class and desperate for alternatives. They believe society to be broken, that the post-industrial economy and globalisation generally aren’t working for them, and are angry at the vast cultural, social and technological changes that they feel have been foisted upon them.

Almost wherever one looks, from New Zealand to the Netherlands, hundreds of millions no longer feel in control, valued or even consulted by the self-satisfied ruling class.
