Gah, corrected that mistake. It is of course, GIDS, not GIRES.

Yeah, this is why I don't pay my license fee. And as for their written reporting on the issue of Tavistock's imminent closure, like the Grauniad, they put it all down to long waiting lists, no exploration of the scandal that led to its decommissioning. Utter bullshit.

The BBC can get broken-up and sold off as far as I'm concerned. I say that as someone who always supported it in the past, but the gender issue has just brought into sharp focus how it can't claim to be a responsible, unbiased journalistic outlet.

Throwing people (mostly women) in jail for refusing to pay for something that doesn't even fulfil its own remit, is ludicrous. Throwing women in jail where they might meet a dangerous man - who's there on account of something the BBC refuses to talk about - is sick.

I'm convinced that in the future there will be documentaries asking how on earth all this was allowed to happen, with the BBC coming out of it in disgrace. That Sarah Smith debacle with Graham will be played next to testimony from detransitioners explaining how they were literally experimented on as kids, making her look either shockingly uninformed or deliberately obtuse.

I no longer pay the licence fee, and I won't until the BBC changes its policies and direction. Or I might continue not to pay on the basis that I don't trust the corporation. But there's some positive news from another media outlet, Sonia Sodha has written another good article in today's Observer, highlighting all the important issues. I'm sure there'll be a Guardian article along soon to counter her opinion. Entirely predictable, but who the fuck cares? If anything, an article of this kind could add weight to the words of Sodha and others.

'The BBC'. It's just people really. Wouldn't you love to see more of the actual names and faces behind the enabling of 'gender' cult thinking? Behind the destruction of children's bodies and psyches? Behind the breakup of families, and loss of friendships? Behind the theft of women's rights? It would just take a very few bullying types to overwhelm the weaker, the cowardly, the ones in thrall to their paychecks. (We get it. Mortgages, families to support, but still -- we have a moral obligation to protect children. There is strength in numbers, and more could have at least squeaked out some disapproval.) The cult bullies and cheerleaders need to be named and held accountable.

The BBC’s ‘Specialist Disinformation Correspondents’ (you couldn’t make it up could you) ) would be all over it ... trying to down-play / divert / perform Trans God image damage limitation exercises - as usual. (Channel 4 no better the other day) ✊

Stopped paying my licence years ago and just ignore the letters. They can go swivel if they think they're getting a penny out of me to give to the likes of Jeremy "can someone tell me what's happening here " Vine.

GB News have really been great. Nana Akua is another voice on our side on the channel.

Great article in today's Observer. Sonia Sodha, of course.

I deplore the BBC. We should not be compelled to pay for it. The license fee is well over-priced. While GB News has been covering this topic well, it is something of a curate's egg with some quite deplorable reporting too. I cannot recommend it to my friends.

GB News are a Godsend to anyone who cares about protecting children, both with the grooming gangs and the trans issue. Those who care are concerned about this silence. Almost all of us actually care about children except the MSM and especially the BBC. It's disgusting that they are allowed to mask the truth.

If the BBC did have an open debate there would be a panel of two men, and two trans women, at least three of them would be activists and any deviation from the narrative drowned out by the host and other guests.

"Grooming culture," as in cult grooming, natch

I think Brits need to just, all at once, stop paying their license fees.

What are they gonna do? Throw the whole damn country in jail?

* I think you meant to say GIDS not GIRES.

Susie Green seems to have been on everything this week, the BBC even stating on one show (I think it was PM) that this was balance after covering a range of views. Only GB News called Helen Joyce, who literally wrote the book on the subject!

Green received the softest of soft treatment, not one question about the Webberleys.
