A few of the week’s good news stories to keep our spirits raised. And The Nominations Are… Just look at some of the brave and brilliant women shortlisted this year for the Emma Humphreys Memorial Prize and Centre for Women’s Justice awards. Among the awesome women nominated are:
It is great that the PE cartoonists are finally starting to ridicule the situation - still waiting for any mention in the Street of Shame section - which is shameful in my opinion; and certainly a shame!! But I recently realised that Edward Lear was on to the TRAs as long ago as 1846 (this edition 1887) - thought others might enjoy.
A woman from WHRC pointed out to me that with terf being trumpeted everywhere, people are hearing that there is such a thing as radical feminists. In the 1970s the media absolutely refused to ever mention radical feminism (which is why few people ever heard of it); feminists in the media were equal-rights feminists such as Gloria Steinem.
It seems to be time to research the intense connection of Stonewall in various UK (and almost certainly Australian) public services, govt. departments, trades, etc because the so-called charital organisation has been supporting the trans politics of LGBTQA+ etc. , which has nothing to do with real gays and lesbians any longer....
The essay in the Holyrood was superb! I couldn't understand back in the eighties why women were putting themselves out so much for gay men 'cause I knew then the gay men would not be there for women. #notallgaymen
Some lovely reporting, brilliant news ref CPS and, sorry if I sound prejudiced but what is it with Welsh people and awesome singing? We don't often hear a chant with such delicious harmonies. Great nominations too. Ah, my weekly tonic, thank you!
Ah, that's great to hear! Thank you. And, yes I know what you mean about the singing. I've been to plenty of rugby games at which the Welsh fans have tried to 'menace' us with their four part harmonies! 😁

Yes, I recall there was one in 2019 as well, two blokes, can’t remember the punchline though 😳
Found it! From 8 Aug 2019.

So glad to see brave women recognized!

I'm so glad! 💚💜

The Welsh have a deep cultural tradition around singing that starts from childhood, and of which they are encouraged to carry on being proud.
