Thanks very much JL. Is it me, or does “We follow the Australian government guidelines” sound *a bit* like "we were only following orders"?

Some people around my age (fairly ancient) might remember Ripley’s Believe It or Not.

A compendium of unbelievable, incredible accounts that were actually real.

The weekly update of unbelievable, horrific accounts that are actually real that are brilliantly collated into a Week in The War on Women would easily qualify. Thank you to Graham and all contributors.

The wall is starting to fall.

Makes me think of the song in Les Mis, Do you hear the people sing ... keep singing please, all of us angry women and men like Graham that fight to support women’s rights and the protection of children. 🙏🏼

I think the Halifax in the library story is in Canada, not Yorkshire?

Yes, it is. Sorry if that's not clear in the item or the links. I sincerely hope that residents of the Halifax in Yorkshire would be far too sensible for this malarkey.

It's clear a bit into the article. I live not a million miles from the Yorks one and was very impressed by the public library they'd seemingly built since my last visit. But no, sadly not for our Halifax. Not impressed by that bloke though. Not at all.

This just goes to show TRA have to be dealt with like toddlers because mentally so many transvestite predators are that age, birth to three years is when the worst narcissistic wounding takes place, most of it is buried in the brain of the victim and they can't access it so are unable to change. They need a firm 'no' like Halifax gave them and then just move on, the sooner people/orgs learn this, the better, you just gray rock them, ignore them, go around them, don't indulge the tantrum or it only gets worse.

Sorry to lower the tone- but what the feck has the Halifax library hater done to their eyebrows? 🤣

I just been reading and adding my own comments to the Woman’s Hour thread. There’s a palpable anger amongst women now and to be told to ditch the hate lit a fuse. The BBC need to start listening to half of their licence fee payers. Of all the TiMs to support - they chose a violent convicted one who pretends to know what growing up as a girl feels like.
