The UK can stick their ID cards where the sun doesn't shine. I am not subscribing to this.
An Irish passport would be a godsend under this increasingly fascist nanny state.

This is a horrendous story of the laziness of some GP's. We hear this more and more often. I had a friend who also died after failure to diagnose. We should not need any change in how GP's treat patients concerns, this should be normal practice.

Little Timmy Gaston (TUV) at it today again. He is a little bit obsessed with the 'penis' question. He doesn't seem to have anything else on his mind other than trans people and their anatomy. It's getting quite concerning actually. I think he needs help.

Malicious communication, what a joke.
This a true photograph which exists because the meeting happened.
The UK rolling out the red carpet for this creep is unforgivable and at a time where the country is crippled, makes it even worse.

What Lee said

Lee Hurley @hleehurley.com · 22d

If you care about trans people, listen to trans people and not Wes Streeting.

transmetalmum.bsky.social @transmetalmum.bsky.social · 24d

You've got to have a heart to break and I seriously doubt there is one in there for trans people.

transmetalmum.bsky.social @transmetalmum.bsky.social · 24d

This is Timothy Gaston, TUV, NI. Timmy doesn't like trans people and believes they should NOT have access to health care, they are not worthy. He got a massive 0.22% of NI people to sign a petition to remove funding from trans healthcare. Wow, massive numbers there. Don't be a tit like little Timmy.

So, if you repeat the words of Kirk, you're fired but if you actually say to 'just kill people' you keep your job? This is abhorrent.

Alejandra Caraballo @esqueer.net · 25d

The fact he wasn't fired for this shows exactly just how asymmetric everything in the media is right now. He was literally advocating mass murder and said "just kill them."

It has come to my attention that many of you have been sharing this photo of Streeting and Mandelson widely.

Please remember that Wes Streeting does not like it being shared widely. So please do not share it widely and on every possible occasion. We wouldn’t want to upset him would we?

It's definitely worth it Rachel and you are so worth fighting for x

Attack is encouraged on that platform, it's why they love it so much.

transmetalmum.bsky.social @transmetalmum.bsky.social · 24d

I'm definitely not sharing this in order for more people to share. That would be a terrible thing to ask.
Wes, on the other hand, says share it far and wide.

Walsh is a domestic terrorist and a tramp who continually wages war on trans folk. He is an absolute danger to society and should be locked up to save countless lives. He is also extremely delusional. Most well funded !!!!!, when the right have billionaires on their side and we scrape by.

Alejandra Caraballo @esqueer.net · 25d

They're going to keep going until they get trans people killed. They want trans people murdered en mass.

A screenshot of a repost by Elon Musk of a tweet from Matt Walsh (@MattWalshBlog). The tweet reads: “Transgenderism is a death cult. The largest, most well funded, and deranged death cult that this country has ever seen.”

And aren't they going to be courting that hateful US regime when king rat visits.

transmetalmum.bsky.social @transmetalmum.bsky.social · 24d

I totally agree with you and understand this. I am a cis ally however trans people know more than I ever will about being trans and the struggles that you face. I'll never take that away from you x

No surprise there then. Disgusting.

I'm sure Stephen King will be gutted. I don't think he will be on rice and beans anytime soon.

Belfast Telegraph front page - Belfast book shop wants stronger Kirk apology from author King
Apology over now deleted post about the murder ‘does not go far enough’
Belfast Telegraph15 Sep 2025GABRIELLE SWAN
A Belfast book shop has defended its decision to stop selling Stephen King titles online until the horror author issues a “more comprehensive apology” for comments he made about Charlie Kirk.

Kirk, a conservative campaigner and ally of Donald Trump, was shot dead last Wednesday as he spoke to students at Utah Valley University.

Later, the author of The Shining and Misery falsely claimed on a since-deleted X post that Kirk “advocated stoning gays to death”.

Ah Wes and his buddy, how lovely

Not That Doctor @notthatdoctor.bsky.social · 25d

If you're seeing this it isn't a photo of Streeting and Mandleson, they both want you to know this is Mandleson out with his Stookie Bill doll. 😆

You wouldn't want to spread it further in case poor little Wes gets upset.

This is appalling. School is for everyone and anyone, regardless of particular needs, deserves to have a place at school.
