Ok, the Times being a conservative newspaper technically makes it right-of-center. That being said: The Times is possibly the most reputable conservative newspaper in the world. I'm neither a fan nor a reader, but when the Times reports that is usually something you can't easily dismiss.
There is no thing as left, centre or right any longer. You can pick screamingly right wing nonsense dressed up as antifa and merrily yelling pretending it's left wing. I pick and choose from 'newspapers' and have done for a while - always did but at least it wasn't this heavy pretence that places like the Grauniad try to perpetuate some credentials they do not have. Only some journalists still retain any attempt at journalism and have their wings heavily clipped. The Times coverage of this has been excellent. The Telegraph never pretends it's left wing and I find that more honest. What happened to The Independent is genuinely distressing.
When all newspaper barons are offshored and dodgy we need to take a pinch of salt with everything.
Excellent! The only genuine journalists I am aware of have to beg for money just like Graham does. When I turn on the TV news, no matter the network, it's nothing but lies. And I no longer buy the NY Times even for the crossword.
I agree. Trans ideology? Not left wing in the slightest. Agree with you Chris that The Times is a decent newspaper (right of centre though it may be) and luckily, it doesn't have the bad rep of the DM, so at least we can cite it, for the purposes of peaking! They've been pretty good on trans issues, they haven't shied away.
Well that's completely understandable when you have to half shut your eyes, remove your brain and suspend all disbelief as you pick through their mush of wordage to find something vaguely reflecting truth or reality. People get paid to twist copy, it's quite something. Reporting on things accurately surely must be easier.
Funny they're using this piece to have yet another dig at LGB Alliance when that's exactly what brought this scrutiny to Mermaids and lucky Madame Green.
I've thought exactly the same thing. I've never seen anything like it except in some political ads done by ad writers who have no conscience or sense of ethics and for whom winning is the only goal. It's one of the things about PukeNews that makes me so furious.
Yes, last paragraph. Portrayed the LGBA as somehow responsible for Mermaid's problems - without showing any actual cause and effect - then mentioned the shooting as proving...something? Look HERE not there.
She completely destroyed the charity which at first simply used to advise distressed children and their parents.
Still, when I read how she increased the sums received by Mermaids when she took over, I guess it was easier for the rest of the staff to go with Susie 'scalpel' Green and shut up about any concern they might have had. I doubt they can go back to their once respectable but low income status.
Gravy train coming to an end; couldn't happen to a nicer bunch.
Seems that much of the transgender clusterfuck has been characterized by far too many putting the bottom line -- so to speak -- ahead of fundamental principles of morality, biology, and logic.
I'm hoping their tactic of well they are now gone, which MM have done in the past with pedos, isn't going to wash. After all this is an external investigation by an independent body
"World Eye Rolling Champion"! ... actual LoL ... 😉🙂
Transgender ideology has certainly given pretty much everyone -- except most of the Woke -- plenty of exercise of those particular muscles.
Maybe more importantly, exercise of the critical thinking muscles. Arguably, transgender ideologues only managed to steal a march on the rest of us because too few were doing that when they started to peddle such antiscientific and quite poisonous schlock.
In a note from our sponsor, my kick at that kitty detailing some of their trans-gressions -- so to speak -- against the Statistics Departments of the UK, New Zealand, and, most sadly, Canada's own:
The only thing that makes this story even better than it is - and it is a momentous event - is the fact that it comes off the back of Mermaids calling for an investigation into the LGB Alliance. That's the kind of weapons-grade sense of moral superiority you only get with a cult. A cult that's now in deep trouble. This was a long time coming but oh happy day!
I agree. I have always thought the expression Karen is both mysogynistic and racist. Black men attacking white women, and college educated white people attacking non college educated white women.
My daughter’s Ukrainian guest is ill just now so she gave the lady a hot toddy. It was pronounced as the “drink of Gods”. So that’s another win for Scotch whisky.
Let's hope it's the death throes of this odious organisation. Scot Gov signpost to them on their schools guidance- so something else we need to heckle Sturgeon about..
A lot. She's been a nicely paid CEO travelling about and living the life of Reilly for the past six years. Her salary has been in their accounts and publicly available. It's often easy to work out who the 'one person' being paid the highest salary is.
Hadn't improved her intellect much tho. Her Insta page is loaded with holiday shots of 2 cocktails; "a margerita for "this person" and a tequila sunrise for that person" and not much else despite being in, I assume, beautiful foreign locations.
Covering it would be 'hate speech', dontcha know. Hinting there might be cracks in the story of the BBC-championed charity for kids who we just KNOW are THE most special 'protected characteristic'?!?!!?
Seen this? This is what Mermaids and their ilk have been up to. It's been a malicious and vexatious silencing factory for too long. How much time and resource to plough through all that - sink opponents in admin and court cases.

So far my 6,000 plus formal complaints against my being a member of the House ofLords all seem to have come from,through or scented by Mermaids;a very fishy business indeed 🎣🎏🐡
Exactly. I'm not sure. That's just one woman. I don't think some people realise how bloody horrendous it can be to be in the public eye. I am worried that if the Lords go (it needs shrinking and reforming at least) we won't have decent people like Emma Nicholson willing to literally stand up and speak up on behalf of us. A lot of bilge is spoken in both Houses but there are a few gems who really are in there for public service and work incredibly hard. It's supposed to have a balancing function and it does do that. Often it's asking a question on record and being willing to keep asking until you get answers. That's apparently been far too onerous for too many politicians, regulators and legislators. And the police, whatever function they have now.
Well put, and I agree with all. When people say they want rid of the Lords I think 'be careful what you wish for', and Emma Nicholson is a perfect example of the kind of gem working tirelessly toward the public good as she sees it, on behalf of those whose voices are otherwise stifled or downplayed (mostly women and girls, in her case), and unhindered by the need to strike poses or adopt positions for electability's sake.
This didn't age well.

Oh my god. For 5, sick seconds I thought this was true. Then realised it was old, fake news
Sorry Pink News your favourite child mutilation charity IS under formal investigation.
Wonder how the idiots will twist this?
An "anti-trans attack" on a do-gooder charity, surely?
Pink News: always looking the other way.
Pink News: always trying to get decent people to look the other way.

PinkNews: the Trans National Enquirer. Actually, I think they might be worse than the National Enquirer.
An "extreme right wing attack" probably
Quite unbelievable how many Nazis there are who care deeply about children, women and LGB people. Who'd have thought!?
They are blaming the media that broke the story?? I know its Batshit crazy
They’ll find a way
'Right-wing publications'. Oh my sides.

I read that as ‘right wing publicans’ then and thought they were being disparaging to the wonderful Harlequin pub

Yeah, right sides...of history.
"several articles published in a right wing . . ." such propaganda~
Thanks for the link, but I can't even look at that site. It makes me so boiling mad, it's not good for my health.
At least you'd be boiling mad and not a boiling frog.
Classic misdirection, i.e. the real problem is the LGB Alliance response to the Club Q shooting.
Did they actually mention LGBA's response to the shooting in this article?!?! Twisted it, of course, if they did.
Yes, last paragraph. Portrayed the LGBA as somehow responsible for Mermaid's problems - without showing any actual cause and effect - then mentioned the shooting as proving...something? Look HERE not there.
The inquiry was launched "after leadership concerns" I guess now we know why she 'resigned'
She completely destroyed the charity which at first simply used to advise distressed children and their parents.
Still, when I read how she increased the sums received by Mermaids when she took over, I guess it was easier for the rest of the staff to go with Susie 'scalpel' Green and shut up about any concern they might have had. I doubt they can go back to their once respectable but low income status.

My thoughts exactly.

It's a sweet, sweet momwent after all their finger pointing. I suspect it was all to keep the focus off them.
Weapons-grade sense of moral superiority, brilliant!
Agreed!
This is amazing - the next Queens' Speech podcast with Clive and Dennis will be EPIC! 🥳
Can’t wait!
I knoooow!!! Tomorrow!
Clive said it'll be delayed!
Oh ..
Monday at the latest I believe.
Ahh, thank you KFP!
Loooook 🤩!

Thank you KFP
You need a Superlike button for some things.
I second that!
Presumably this is the explanation why TRAs have been saying ‘it’s not that Susie has gone, she’s going to be replaced by more, regional Susies’
The term "regional Susies" is chilling...
Regions. Something our Sue is obsessed with.. Especially if they are children's
The name ‘Susie’ could become a slur, like a Karen, or an Aunt Lydia.
Yeah, it could, but let's not do that. I've always disliked that "Karen" business. Never heard of Aunt Lydia though.
The Handmaid's Tale
Thanks.
Yeah I'd feel too bad for nice Susies! I'm up for another word though 😂
‘smirks’ I can think of several 😉
Haha!
I’m sure it’s an Americanism.
I agree. I have always thought the expression Karen is both mysogynistic and racist. Black men attacking white women, and college educated white people attacking non college educated white women.
A euphemism for homophobic parent.
Ahaha!! 🤣 Literally LOL.
Dolly!
so wish I wasn't ill so I could open a bottle of fizz ..... Can't wait to read the Graudiads take on this.
i’m trying to drink less, but i feel a celebration coming on, but actually no i’m done with being a slave to constant booze- have one for me Mary!
My daughter’s Ukrainian guest is ill just now so she gave the lady a hot toddy. It was pronounced as the “drink of Gods”. So that’s another win for Scotch whisky.
You mean the Ukrainian person said it was the "drink of the gods"? What's in a hot toddy anyway?
Whisky, hot water and honey or sugar plus a good squeeze of lemon juice.
Scotch whiskey!
Haha same, I've got a nice bottle in for Xmas
Let's hope it's the death throes of this odious organisation. Scot Gov signpost to them on their schools guidance- so something else we need to heckle Sturgeon about..
Imagine how much safer and happier the nations- our children will be when the advice to parents with struggling kids begins with….
Love your children for who they are.
Nice one.
Underrated comment
The BBC better cover this. Widely. Meanwhile, lift up your flutes, champagne and otherwise. This is wonderful news!
I would very much like to know by how much Susie Green benefited financially from the transing of children.
A lot. She's been a nicely paid CEO travelling about and living the life of Reilly for the past six years. Her salary has been in their accounts and publicly available. It's often easy to work out who the 'one person' being paid the highest salary is.
Hadn't improved her intellect much tho. Her Insta page is loaded with holiday shots of 2 cocktails; "a margerita for "this person" and a tequila sunrise for that person" and not much else despite being in, I assume, beautiful foreign locations.
£80,000 a year. That's 80. Thousand. A YEAR. For having no qualifications or skills at the job.
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2022/12/02/mermaids-boss-forced-staff-revolted-against-incapable-leadership/
And only for a 4-day week!!
CALLING ALL LOW PAID PROFESSIONS! You can sit and talk BS to kids and parents for £80k a year... jeez!
It sure is a lot to pay someone to ruin lives.
That made me so mad, because people seem to think this is grassroots activism. Is it hell!
Too much
Can't wait to hear what Newsnight has to say about this.
Newsnight's response will probably be:
"_____________________________"

Yes I quoted her Tweet verbatim above.
More vindication for Graham!

And Graham. You were right.
