After it's all over, the Trump clan should go into tele evangelism. All the sincerity of snake oil sales team.

The BBC presenter is going to exceptional lengths to ensure our noses are rubbed in this rotting Evangelical tripe.

The BBC are a total disgrace; still denied any access to Gaza!

#JaredKushner doesn't know the real America he lives in or has been on drugs. Huge delusion. It is dangerous and the BBC pumping it out in full.

2/2 Time & Time again, Westminster treachery has betrayed Scotland. Of our democratic process on #Trans people's Self-Determination our settled, democratically arrived at; 'Will' was stopped by Clause 35 & #Starmer's promised UK scheme (to stop our fighting) was kicked into the 'forgotten' tundra.

Good proportion of Britain wanted nothing to do with leaving a committed relationship within #EU states; preferring, like any family; to work together to ameliorate any challenges. Scotland was ignored (having been told, saying NO in an earlier indyref referendum was the only way to stay in EU) 1/2

Roz Foyer extract "On October 25th 2025 in Edinburgh, the #TradeUnionMovement, alongside #PovertyAlliance & #CivicScotland, are coming together to Demand Better.

We are uniting people to demand the changes we need from our Governments to build a society where everyone can thrive and prosper".
Extract of Roz Foyer speech to SNP Conference Oct 2025 And there is no time to lose, Conference. The dangers are clear and growing daily. And in times like these, progressive Scotland must unite - with those of every party, union, religion, sex and more - coming together to celebrate our diversity and to stand shoulder to shoulder... With migrants, With refugees, With Muslims, With the Jewish people, who were so horrifically targeted in Manchester last week, With trans people, With women being targeted by the far right, and all others in need. Earlier this week, I was proud to join a platform of women from across Scotland - including Councillor Nadia El Nakla and former First Minister Nicola Sturgeon - at the launch event for Women Against the Far Right. And our message was clear: we will not outsource our safety to anyone, let alone those who seek to colonise our voice to further an agenda of hatred and division. And it's no surprise that those who would sow division here are also the friends of the invaders abroad. Farage chooses Putin. We choose the Ukrainian people. They choose Netanyahu. We choose the children of Gaza. And I want to pay particular tribute to the leadership and humanity of Humza Yousaf. In his time as First Minister, when the world's leaders failed to condemn genocide, he bravely spoke out. And as we speak out against malign forces abroad, I want to welcome John Swinney's leadership in calling out malign forces at home. When the First Minister called his summit against the far right in Scotland earlier this year, the STUC was among the first to sign up.

Julie Bindel is so much of a feminist that she had lunch with Jennifer Lahl who doesn't think women should spend their "fertile years" having a career.
A photo of Julie Bindel and Jennifer Lahl with a caption that reads "is this you, having lunch with Jennifer Lahl of the Heritage Foundation Julie. Why were you doing that" Section of an article from Forbes magazine dated 03, 2024. It reads. "In a piece decrying the falling fertility rate, founder of the anti-abortion Center for Bioethics and Culture Network Jennifer Lahl criticizes women having children at older ages and “spending a large portion of their most fertile years building their careers,” as well as in vitro fertilization and using egg donors or surrogates—writing, “We need to stop practices that may bring harm to others: the children born from high-tech pregnancies as well as the women who are exploited for their healthy reproductive capacities.”

#SexMatters
Law-Commission-Response-Sex-Matters-3-1-1 52. Thus it is clear that the GRA 2004 does not restrict the ordinary speech of people who know someone's sex because they knew them before transition, or because that information is in the public domain, or because it is obvious, and they can see it for themselves. In practice very few people (particularly "male to female" transitioners) are convincing as members of the opposite sex. A person's sex can remain clearly perceptible. Some people are also "out and proud" about being trans. Thus a trans person's ability to navigate the world does not depend on absolute secrecy about their sex, or on people believing that it is literally possible for someone to change sex, but on the conventions of politeness and mutual Lord Filkin, House of Lords, 29 Jan 2004: Column 411 https://hansard.parliament.uk/Lords/2004-01-13/debates/be6cf168-907a-4058-b47d-5e198f5b8a7c/OfficialReportOfTheGrandCommittee OnTheGender Recognition BillH!

#NationalComingOutDay
Coming out is a process.
For me that process truly began when Section 28 was passing into law.
Gay men and lesbians were told that we were ‘less than’, that our relationships were pretend.
I needed to stand up.
So I came out.
And never looked back.

The counterprotest ends at Old Steine, where some protesters will continue onto the Clocktower for a protest at 12:00 in support of Palestine.

For those in Brighton this weekend, please stay safe; there is a large police presence and an even larger TERF presence out on the streets.

Great discussion at TWT on how the left must unite — Your Party and the Greens — to keep Farage out of Downing Street.

But unity isn’t uniformity. Your Party will be truly anti-imperialist: no diplomatic ties with a genocidal, apartheid Israeli state and no greenwashing NATO.

But that horse has bolted.

Do you remember in April 2024 when there was INSANE footage of two cavalry horses that had spooked, thrown their riders and were GALLOPING through London covered in blood? Well, both horses were caught and made a full recovery and the one of the left, Vida, an old boy, has just been retired.
