I don’t like subtweeting people I consider online friends, but there is a subset of people who are very worried about the ongoing radicalisation of our political elite but won’t ever acknowledge the echoes with the radicalisation of their colleagues on trans rights
And few who are sympathetic to us, some who are friendly with me on here, will ever stick their head above the parapet

FACT~ Since 2003 and 11 Olympic Games, there have been more @Glinner ‘s who have been found guilty of criminal damage than there have been trans women Olympians in the UK.
@Glinner has been found guilty of criminal damage.

@Glinner damaged a 17-year-old trans teenage girl’s phone during an angry confrontation.

His wife was not present for the sentencing as she had divorced him.

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.

They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

It is genuinely insane to see a judge describe Graham Linehan as a “generally credible witness” in a trial where he claimed Sophia Brooks has been engaged in “trans activism” since 2013 (when she would’ve been 6 years old), then, when challenged, claimed her drivers license lied about her age.

Trevor Phillips applauds
ICE arrests, detains British woman with US husband and newborn when she shows up for her green card interview. She’s now in a detention center, separated from her 6-month-old. No criminal record. She had overstayed her visa.

This is what “anti-elitism” is.

It’s the high-flying cocktail party circuit’s resentment at professionally serious politicians pushing them out of power.
So now Weiss becomes clearer. She is interested in promoting the people who attend the same cocktail parties as her. The elite.

I didn’t have “the UK would be a more tolerant place if people like my parents had lived in fear of arbitrary arrest and deportation” from Trevor Phillips on my
1990s bingo card, but here we are.
Unbelievable racism from Trevor Phillips. That last sentence is a LAMENT not praise.

"One friend tells me Latino parents are now so afraid to be seen out and about that the other parents have a rota to walk the Latino children to and from school. It is hard to imagine that taking place in Britain."

Trevor Phillips proposes banning "remittances" (ie: imposing currency/exchange controls on international cash transfers by foreign nationals from Britain). He says this would disincentivise immigration, in a Times piece saying the Home Secretary needs to go [much] further

Walk into a bank where you don’t have an account, walk out with startup capital?

Sounds impossible.

But we did it. Some times you just have a to want it bad enough.

Here’s what we did. First, we learned where the bank manager lived.
Founders on LinkedIn still seem to be struggling with the difference between telling people about their humble beginnings and admitting to straight up committing fraud.

This idea that you can get by in the world with an app or by expecting everyone else to speak English - it's just daft.

But it's so ingrained in British policy and politics.
Opinion: “More than ever before, we need British diplomats, spies and soldiers to speak the language of our adversaries. We need universities like Nottingham to be pumping out Russian and Mandarin graduates each year, to work across Whitehall.”

I was thinking - my God, he's David Brent, isn't he.

And then I thought, isn't it a shame that Ricky Gervais couldn't make the Office these days. Not because of political correctness, but because Gervais is also now David Brent.
This poor bastard is so desperate to be funny, to be liked…

For all the flag waving and poppy-sniffing and chest-puffing, the British political class seems to lack a whole lot of bravery when it comes to admitting the damage Brexit has caused.
🔥 Rachel Reeves says there’s a “hole” in the public finances.

A new decade-long Brexit study quantifies it:

A 6–8% hit to GDP

That's £180bn-£240bn a year

It means less tax revenue and so less money for everything.

Brexit made Britain MUCH poorer.

This idea that scientific progress comes from superintelligent people just knowing stuff and thinking real hard is SO bizarre

And that's before we get to the problems of LLMs trying to simulate such a process.
Am I nuts, or does this say we'll put all of our scientific papers into a big data warehouse, let a bunch of people working on"AI" train some new LLMs, and then magic will happen. The AI will start generating and testing hypotheses until it solves humanities problems? What a load of crap. Money grab

Thankfully very few of the people I follow fell for the hoax that the Department of Homeland Security had been secretly run by Israel since George Bush.

Blaming US state-sponsored white nationalist violence on “The Jews” is antisemitism.

Americans should instead try harder at not voting Trump in.

9. And they stress that none of this stands alone—these results mirror a growing body of research released over many years, all pointing to the same conclusion. Gender-affirming care saves lives. It remains one of the most effective interventions available for transgender youth who need it.
November 24, 2025 at 11:01 PM
This is not a new result, either.

For those who doubt trans people exist, ask yourselves: what would it look like if they did?

It would look like this: dramatic improvements in wellbeing and lack of regret after gender affirming care.
1. A landmark study was just published in The Journal of Pediatrics.

It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT.

It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse.

Transgender care saves lives.

The groundbreaking study found that suicidality dropped for transgender youth receiving hormone therapy by nearly 70%, with only 7 patients of 432 discontinuing treatment.
