Thanks very much JL. A great read - particularly enjoyed learning about the magnificently courageous female swimming squad at Roanoke College.

Oh wowser!! All this gorgeously good news from the Tories - provided that they don't renege on their promises - and even more gorgeously splendid news about * polishes Cilla's accent* "our Graham"! Front cover of the Telegraph Sunday supplement is an amazing feat. Not only that, but his book is out this week and both my copies will soon be on my shelves. (One's a Christmas present, so hands off!). What a week!! I can almost sense the smell of hope in the air!!!

Thanks for a great week, and so glad the Tories have been so vocal and proactive on this.

The Tories realise that trans is a weakness for the Lab/ Libs/ Greens/ SNP/ and the (laughably named) Womens Equality Party- theUK public don't want this trans garbage. I hope that Lab, Libs and Greens etc realise that, and chage their policie,s also stop vicitimising their Gender Critical members, and return to common sense.

Thanks JL, there is a lot to be encouraged by, particularly the stance on aken by the women's swimming in Virginia. It's inspiring to see young women finding their voice and expressing their feelings in this way, and making the men trying to prevent this, hearing the word NO. I hope it's a word misogynists and assorted bullies start hearing more and more frequently.

As for what the Tories claim, it all sounds good, referring to important and necessary changes. Will these changes go ahead, though? I hope so, but politicians have a bit of a reputation if saying stuff people want to hear, then forgetting about the things they committed to, or find that their plans and intentions can't legally go ahead, etc.

Great about Graham's book, I'm looking forward to reading it, and I hope its success leads to a lot of professional and personal success for him. He certainly deserves it.

Well JL wasn't this a bag full of joy!! Thanks to you for this great news.

Tories only....13 years to get back to reality? Welcome if they can put it in law and not just talk. Love kemi badenoch and im now politically homeless, less kjk gets up and running!

The US of A finally waking up and judges starting to let the trans know they aren't getting their way for much longer, and isn't it fabulous to see 😀

Mandy the great on the EHRC, good move and all success wished to her.

Loving the swimmers at the Roanoke college, standing tall, standing strong and immovable to the gaslighting of coach and college and the emotional blackmail of the man/boy cheat. Congratulations to them and the governor agreed with them YAY 👏 👍

Graham's book on order and can't wait to read it!

Aww the doggie getting a little pal, this was great to watch 😃 😀 😄 😁

Thanks JL thus was truly appreciated 🙏

This has really cheered me up! The world feels slightly less fucked up and going downhill since I read it.

Great news, JL. So happy to read all this. The swimmers deserve our admiration for their courage and the tory party conference promises are hopeful. Let’s hope they keep to them. The dog video was a joy to watch. Thank you very much. 👏

Saw "sex under the Tories" and thought twice about scrolling down...

Glad I did though. Good to see a bit of sanity.

Thanks JL. I'm (cautiously) optimistic that the Government might finally be getting it. Fingers crossed!

Thank you JL 💚🤍💜

My copy of Tough Crowd will be arriving soon and I'm delighted I'll also be able to get the audiobook.

Will we get to hear/read Graham's speech to the Conservative Conference?

As always 🌹

Quite interesting ( on a ghoulish level ) up here to see what useless has to say about the current war ( I don’t know enough about it to pass any comment ) given his parliamentary rant about whites and the hate crime bill which is law here now

I don’t know where I stand as a ginger given I’m always a very fetching shade of blue

Can’t wait for tough crowd to land on my door mat

Well done to to those brave swimming lassies

Lovely dog waiting for his kitten

I’m packing loads in before the hamster buggers off again !
