It is her. First page of Ecosia image search. It isn't flattering at all I know that. But I chose it because she was looking to her side, that is, at TOJ.

A breath of fresh air. It's so important to see the positive news after all the negative news gives you a punch in the guts. Small but important steps, I'm very much looking forward to the tsunami of backpedalling.

My daughters and I had great fun identifying the fantasising jerks in that photo. I still don’t know who that is in the brown at the bottom right hand corner though.

Think 'Guardian'!

I know that is wee Owen on the deck but the seated, sprawled character to the right is a mystery to me.

I don’t know what the editor Kath Vine looks like. Is that her? I hope it’s just a bad image of her as it sure isn’t pretty.

Look at ittle OJ, all restrained and uncomfortable. Maybe One of Chucky's Ices would make him feel better.

I was looking for the fox near Jolyon Maughan and I've just found it under the car 🤣

Just noticed Tatchell trying to get the glass of wine off Fred Wallace. Brilliant, Moley!!

Every time I have the misfortune to report about Jolyon Maughan I always make sure I include a fox 😎

All heartening items of news, JL. Those trans dominoes are fairly tumbling. I won’t be happy though until every person who has brainwashed confused children and set then on dangerous medical and surgical pathways, is charged with child abuse. No debate!

Victoria Atkins was superb during that debate. Some of the blatant hypocrisy on display from ideologues, was jaw dropping. Yet she managed to stay calm whilst firmly putting them back in their places.

Yes, it’s time Stonewall and Ruth Hunt were shamed and pilloried for the harm they’ve enabled and promoted. # get them out.

Thanks for some fantastic news.

Glinner and everyone on the sane side of the fence have often said they think the tide is turning. Only for nothing much to happen. But now it really is turning and there seems to be a massive tidal wave being driven by, I notice, female ministers in this pathetic government, which stood by in a coma while all this shit was spawned and grew. Hoofuckingrah. But oh, the howling of the zealots and the spitting and frothing is ramping up. Let them froth and stamp and spit, vile monsters.

Thank you for the new edition, JL. The Cass report is also making waves across the US, which is great.

I also recommend long-time Democrat, Bill Maher, as he has now seen the light https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oGtseVUw-_M&t=329s It makes for pleasing listening, and it's not a one off, he has recently been praising JK Rowling for her brave stance. What's significant is that having liberals like Maher and Joe Rogan on our side will make it harder for trans activists to pain us as right-wing fascists.

Expand full comment

Joe Rogan is generally classified as a "fascist" by the activists as far as I know.

Expand full comment

Of course they do, just as they call JK Rowling a fascist. After Bill Maher's speech on his show last week, I expect he'll soon be called a fascist, hence my comment.

Out of interest, if you read Joe Rogan's Wiki page, he's a very good case on how not to pigeon hole people because he espouses some causes associated with either the right or the left.

I must say, this whole trans ideology has made me look at my erstwhile political enemies in a less adversarial way and I feel I've now learnt to listen to the other side.

Expand full comment

I think a lot of us have had our eyes opened to the ‘other side’. It’s the only good thing to come out of gender ideology. I don’t think of left and right anymore, just right and wrong.

Expand full comment

Thank you TT , I’ve given up knowing if I’m right or left , I just know what’s wrong

Expand full comment

left and right doesn't make sense to me a lot of the time now and "left" often does certainly not align with "good" if you see some of the causes supposedly leftwing people are supporting these days: mens' supremacy and terrorism.

Expand full comment

Its not even a real 'left' in terms of socialism vs. fascism. Marx was a materialist and the factory workers of his day, working 16 hour days in satanic mills would consider the tempest of the current time as something only the upper classes had time to contemplate. The plight of the left is the result of identity politics providing a distraction from class issues, which are very real in this day of trillionaires running our world.

Expand full comment

Yes! “Luxury Beliefs” is how they are described by author Rob Henderson. He has helped me understand why people like Sandy Toksvig and Kirsty Allsop who’d I’d expect to be on the side of women are not.

Expand full comment

I am 60-ish. I remember a time, at least in the US, pre 1980 or 90 or so, when one might disagree with another's politics but not dehumanize them. Perhaps it was the collapse into daytime radio braying, but the devolvement into 'libtard' and 'conservatard' labels started at that time and only grew with the encouragement of those who wanted their constituents to look no further into subjects that had been labelled either way. I still see too many people who can't see past that.

I hear you though. I thought I had seen it for what it was at the beginning, but I still carried my predjudices with me for years. I think most of us are what would be known as 'centrist' and have more in common than we do not. I've become a lot less adverserial than I was for sure.

Expand full comment

I'm of the same age and I thought my views had mellowed due to age but I still see many of my left leaning peers still hating the right wing with a passion, and they don't even bother finding out how the other side think, just in case a Republican or Conservative might say something they (shock horror!) might agree with.

Bill Maher saying 'Ron DeSantis isn't wrong' was a huge step in the right direction.

Wow, was this needed, the sun shining a light on the madness that is the cult of gender ideology. Thanks, JL, for a fantastic round up, one of the highlights being Victoria Atkins slapping down of LRM. I encourage anyone and everyone to read graham's book, which is a great read and hilarious and sad, but I feel he has been somewhat vindicated in the last weeks and I wish him huge success in Australia.

The swing bagpipes and Gunhild...wow just wow, never heard this before but I'm a fan now, she is amazing. Thanks JL I feel both you and Graham along with many others deserve recognition for the hard work you have put into this for us all 🍾💐💐💐💐

Good stuff. Great good stuff. I wish it were just as good and great in the States, but the fucking delusional Biden administration... WTF? Evidence or critical thinking never seems to enter into it for them.

What Biden is doing seems utterly surreal and dangerous to me, from this side of the pond.

Are they trying to emulate Canada, do you think?!

He's making a play for the youth vote, I believe.

Please David please, ‘ critical thinking’ and ‘evidence’ are clear signs of transphobia. We wouldn’t want the leader of the free world to give in to the perils of logic would we- look what happened to the ancient Greeks- where are they now- fucking dead. Thats where critical thinking gets you.

It could well be David! I think listening to the dribble of the gender crew is an even worse experience than watching Star trek the motion picture. Bloody hell that went on for ever too! But it caused less harm to children.

Every current affairs programme I've tuned into since the Cass report was published seems to include Patrick Harvie having a Foxtrot November :-D Yesterday on R4 Today the interview had classic Jeremy Paxman v Michael Howard energy:

Biden himself has never exactly been a brain surgeon or a rocket scientist.He scuttled his first presidential bid by copying his speeches from a UK politician. I think he's just striking a pose, monkey see , monkey do. He's always been a hack and he's dumb as a brick mostly.

But, yeah, it's hard to tell who is imitating who--- U.S. or Canada ---? ( Great graphic, by the way )

Thanks JL, hopefully thats cleanse your palate after yesterday. That moyle guy has to be one of parliaments premium wankers. Its a tough field too.

Expand full comment

Yes, he and Michael Cashman (in the Lords) are neck and neck contenders for Parliament's biggest misogynist wanker. They're both stubborn shite stains on the y-fronts of government.

Expand full comment

Y fronts- yuk. Like that area isn’t problematic enough without poor design. I don’t get it JL, why do these people invest in this so much when there are millions of other hobbies that are way better. Maybe when the internet came along a lot of people just stopped putting effort into stuff and got addicted to being told they were right about everything online. Oh well. We need to get down to parliament with some marigolds and bleach.

Expand full comment

Oh I can tell you why SO many men like Cashman and Russell-Mole et al put so much time & effort into shilling for this lunatic ideology. Because it gives 'em carte blanche to belittle, denigrate and yell at women. Finally, an ideology has come along which allows them to vent their spleen at those uppity bitches demanding rights and equality and spoiling all their fun. BUT they can still maintain a veneer of being a good, right-on, progressive lefty bloke whilst doing it. I've got their number.

its a fucking trump card or so they think JL, it’s pathetic and we as a nation should be so ashamed of ourselves. 2024. I just can’t believe how shit its become and how fickle people are. 25 years this was unimaginable. Just beyond me. Bloody hell, 10 years ago probably

JL you missed another delightful bit of good news last week. You don’t miss much so thanks again. India Willoughby set up a Crowdfunder to adjust the cosmetic surgery he had done to his eyes. After four days of getting small amounts from Anonymous (himself?) the Crowdfunder was withdrawn. I think that tells us a whole lot about the size of support out there for men who try to surgically alter themselves to look more like women.

Oh yes, I saw that! Very amusing. He'll have to pay for his own cosmetic surgery.
