When these misogynist homophobes stated that they were happy that our wonderful,brave and strong Magdalen had passed away they showed what vile,evil,despicable creatures that they are. Get well soon Allison.💜💚

So that's the guy! Reported him today for his hate tweet. They constantly tell on themselves, don't they? So blindly confident that they're in the right. Just as the fascists told on themselves by keeping meticulous records --secure in their psychosis, never dreaming that one day, those same records would come back to haunt.

It's fascinating to see the pieces of the puzzle fall into place.

I trust the Irish Times won't be using this repulsive man to write any further reviews, except I don't. People seem willing to abandon all decency and integrity when they choose to endorse this misogynistic prejudice saturated garbage. There isn't a line that those responsible can't cross.

What do they put in that hair dye that makes people so hateful? What did Alison Bailey ever do or say to him to earn such malice? Despicable little turd!

The gender extremists have ruined beards, bright hair dye, and much of the comedy sphere.

I watched a man on Jeopardy! the other evening with pink hair, and it appeared to have affected his brain function as he didn't even make it to final jeopardy. Personally I cannot imagine what all that bleach and dye does to one's hair, let alone one's brain.

For the record this 50 something, who was a bleach enjoyer in his youth, has no comment!

Now please excuse me. I need to polish my bald cranium before the daily appointment with my psychiatrist.

Hahahahaha! To contrast your situation with mine, I'm 68 and when I had my hair cut three months ago the stylist just kept exclaiming over how thick my hair is (took her two hours to cut shoulder-length hair short). And they can always tell I never use a hair dryer.

The 'trans legal project' tweet is pretty distasteful, too. "We profoundly disagree with her position in this case, BUT WE DO wish her a speedy recovery." There is no need to point out that you are opposed to her position, or to make wishing her well a 'but'. That is, unless you are slime who wants to imply that you'd be perfectly within your rights to hope horrible things happen to her since she's such a 'phobe. They are all terrible people.

I have reported this tweet but have zero faith that Twitter will do anything about it. It’s as blatant as can be (actively wishing death on someone) yet there never seems to be any consequences (cos TRAs are stunning and brave).

The oddest coincidences have happened for me over the few days, Graham. A head tilting trans troll landed in a few of my FB posts. Let's call him Darrell. He has a raging hardon for retired cops. He mistakenly called me an ex-cop. There are no ex-cops or ex-Marines. Not something that he'll ever understand, or be for that matter.

A number of nice people leaped into the fray, for which I'm very grateful and a bit verklempt. That's something that Barry and Darrell will never experience. And neither are suspended yet. Twitter make Twitter a "better place." Ya.

The Irish Times again! The letter below was published today by the more middle-of-the-road Irish Independent.

I sent almost the same letter to the liberal lefty Irish Times on Tuesday about Musk & Twitter etc and it never appeared - always the same story with the self-styled ‘paper of record’.

Twitter's rules can hardly get more absurd under Musk (heading)

Irish Independent, letter, 28th April 2022

Dear Sir,

Like Ian O'Doherty, I am enjoying the liberal-left hysteria over Elon Musk's latest move ('Why the shrieking mob's meltdown over Musk's Twitter takeover is a joy to behold', Irish Independent, April 27).

Perhaps they fear Musk will end Twitter's silencing of those who defend women's rights? People like Meghan Murphy, the founder of the website Feminist Current; campaigner Kellie-Jay Keen; and Graham Linehan, the Irish co-creator of Father Ted, have been banned from Twitter. Their 'thought crime' was defending the right of women to female-only safe spaces, free from male interference. That's hate speech, apparently.

Others have been banned for stating simple biological facts such as "men are male” or that "a woman is an adult human female”.

Don't forget the guy who was banned for using the word "cracker" in reference to food. (For those who don't know, cracker is a pejorative term for rural white Southerners.)

Expand full comment

Prof Thomas Sowell, the veteran African-American economist and author wrote a book ‘Black Rednecks and White Liberals’ in which he blamed inner city African-American failure to advance since the 1960s on, inter alia, the adoption of Souther White working class plantation ‘Cracker Culture’ and it’s indulgence by White middle class liberals as authentic Black culture rather than a backward ethos rooted in gangsta-type criminality and macho violence, misogyny and fecklessness (leading to family break-down etc). Cracker Culture originated in 18th Century N. England and rural Ireland and was imported into the US. Ironically it died out largely in the British Isles thanks to the Victorians.

I would tend to put what has happened in black urban America down to the government and its racist, violent policies, including theft of black wealth, deindustrialization, and flooding African-American communities with crack cocaine brought into the country by the CIA. When people tried to organize, as they did repeatedly and are still doing, the government infiltrated their groups and tried their best to poison their efforts.

As far as family breakdown goes, it has been shown in actuality -- rather than speeches by Obama -- that black men are more involved with their children than white men even when imprisoned. I don't buy Sowell's arguments, and I have yet to meet a white bourgeois who thinks gangsta is authentic black culture since they never spend a minute thinking about black culture.

Your comment seems more academic than actual experience.

Susan you overlook the fact that Thomas Sowell was raised by a Black single mum (a poorly paid housemaid) in the 1930s and grew up in NorthCarolina at the height of Jim Crow. When his mother died in childbirth he was raised by his great-aunt. Aged nine he moved to NYC and pulled himself up by his bootstraps.

Anyway check Wikipaedia or the notes in any of his books. In short, Sowell (and the other African American thinkers who support him) knows more than European liberal lefties or US race hustlers (Sowell’s term) etc what he is talking about.

It is the liberal left that drives the Trans lunacy, ‘no borders’ crazy immigration policies and the failed multiculturalism concept. The destruction of initiative, drive and stable family relationships ( what Thomas Sowell calls marrying Black women to the welfare state) and cultivation of a victimhood outlook is just another product of leftist middle class delusional thinking.

Karl Martin, I am fully aware that one way black people "can pull themselves up by their bootstraps" is by writing crap that appeals to certain white people. If you're really intent on kissing ass, you can become vice president or get on the supreme court.

I have no interest in the liberal left and never have. My experience of black people is not from reading a book by some dude, but from living and working with them in two East Coast cities. Let me tell you about getting on an elevator to go to work one evening: The elevator was filled with black men and I could practically hear their intake of breath as they were faced with a white woman getting on the elevator; they were all wondering if I was some crazy white person. As soon as I said good evening, the breath was released and they could all relax.

Susan, it’s not just Thomas Sowell though (and he is no ‘Uncle Tom’). Listen to Denzel Washington also state “It’s not colour, it’s culture” from 1.58 minutes in https://youtu.be/O0dCvQdt5XI .

I stand with young Black people like 10-year-old Damilola Taylor, stabbed to death on his way home from the library in Peckham by a gang of feral Black youths. Legacy slavery issues is not an excuse for inexcusable behaviour.

In the US, poverty rates amongst Black married couples has been in single figures since 1994. Thomas Sowell’s suggested ways to avoid poverty is for young Black people to stay in school as long as possible and get some qualification or certificate, then get a job (any job) and only have children when you are married. All the evidence and common sense backs that up. Indeed that is why other minority groups like poor Koreans, Chinese, Igbo (or Biafrans), Vietnamese, Indian Hindus (and most famously Jewish people) have prospered (or are progressing) in the US, UK, Ireland etc.

As for US Black men being nervous about being stuck in a lift with you as a woman, I experience that too as a 66-year-old white Irish man. That’s just the tabloid world we live in.

I need a bit of advise on here with regards to a doctor bullying a concerned parent with regards to her 13 old daughter cutting and wanted to be trans alongside her other peers. The parent was advised during a phone called that she has to take on the new pronouns and name by the child and to support her in this. She also said to the parent that she should go to trans youth groups so she can see how damaging being not supportive can be. This is advice for a DOCTOR.

Try one of the parental support groups. In the U.S. (or anywhere else), there is Fourth Wave Now, but I know there are groups in the U.K. as well.

I am in a few groups as I’m going through this myself with my autistic daughter who is now 17. I’m with Our Duty and also concerned parents fb group. Both have been a great source of support. It seems like it’s just us parents supporting each other as there is no professional advice out there. Thanks for your reply though I appreciate it.

Rather than report the horrible creature to twatter, report them to their employer, the Irish Times. Make it abundantly clear that this is what they're supporting by allowing him to write for them. I wonder how many troons buy or read the IT? Be lucky if it reaches double figures so it seems pretty stupid of them to support Barry & his hatred.
