The Canongate response to Sarah Doyle re her poem about Laika (another piece in the Sunday Times today) has merely reminded me how badly Canongate treated Dan Rhodes.

The “toxic and chaotic culture” inside Boris Johnson’s Downing St was behind the UK’s “too little, too late” response to Covid-19, with Johnson singled out for particular blame. Inquiry chair Baroness Hallett said poor decisions by him, his ministers and officials cost tens of thousands of lives.

Within 24h both New Zealand and the US have now spoken up against Puberty Blockers. Maybe we can now give these kids the help they need, instead of affirming a "gender identity" that most of them have been talked into online.

Good news: Puberty Blockers are banned in New Zealand until there is scientific proof that it helps.

I'm ashamed my country hasn't followed. We are probably the last on to admit it's based on ideology, not science.
