You ain't no Mum, bruv

The sneaky trans activism of ITV News

This week ITV News reported on the financial troubles of Stonewall Diversity Champion Thames Water. The story included footage of Mika Minio-Paluello, a supposed customer of the utility company. Mika expressed concern as a ‘mum’ at the possibility of increased water bills.

Expect Mika isn't a mum.

He’s a man, and men can’t be Mums.

MP Rosie Duffield, one of the few principled Labour politicians on this issue, pointed out that once again, the emperor was not only naked, but sporting an erection.

In response, trans activists, many claiming to be Labour voters, accused Rosie of transphobia and have demanded she be expelled from the Labour Party/lose the whip. They have tweeted about her exploring the Titanic (a reference to those who recently lost their lives on the OceanGate Submarine), told her to crawl back into the gutter, compared her to racists, said she has a genocidal frame-of-mind, accused her of hate speech, claimed she is obsessed with genitals, and said she needs a muzzle.

The ‘right side of history’ has also called her the following in response to the tweet:

Absolute trash

Awful

Bigot

Bully

Cretin

Cunt

Disgusting

Dreadful excuse of a human

Embarrassment

Evil

Fucking ghoul

Harpy

Hateful

Joke of a human

Lowest of the low

Mean

Nasty piece of work

Nazi supporting

Piece of shit

Rag

Rancid

Right wing

Scumbag

Streak of shite

Stupid

Terf

Terrible

Tit fucker

Turd

Vicious

Vile

Weirdo

Mika himself has liked tweets abusing Rosie including this one.

Fellow Labour MP and Vichy feminist Stella Creasy joined the mob, accusing Rosie of doing something she never did.

And of course, increasingly isolated misogynist TQ+ activist Owen Jones didn't miss the opportunity to attack.

So, who is this “mum” who inspires such devotion from the misogynists in the Labour Party? Well, in many ways, he’s just your standard trans rights activist;

Here’s Mika actively endorsing the living daughter/dead son propaganda, employing scare tactics to manipulate parents into believing that not affirming their child's gender identity could lead to their child taking their own life.

This is a tactic favoured by former Mermaids CEO Susie Green. ITV is also still linking to the Mermaids website, despite the fact the charity is under a statutory inquiry.

Here’s Mika appropriating the struggles of the LGB Community.

Here's Mika complaining about the ‘transphobic’ front pages of newspapers.

Let's take a closer look at the second newspaper to be clear on the criticism Mika considers ‘transphobic’.

Here's Mika claiming to share in patriarchal oppression with ‘cis’ women.

Here’s Mika advocating for men to have access to female rape and domestic violence supports.

The Shon Faye article is still available on The Guardian website.

When you're there why not read the articles by Mika?

That's right, not only is the ‘mum’ who ITV News just happened to interview not actually a mum, he's also not your average Thames Water customer. Mika is actually an energy economist who has ‘shaped and influenced government and corporate energy policy’ in the UK.

And he has strong opinions on water privatisation.

And while not a fan of Labour MP Rosie, he's certainly a fan of the Labour Party. In fact, he’s an energy consultant!

Mika is currently the Climate & Industry Lead at Trades Union Congress. So not only is he not a mum, he’s a significant political player and heavily invested in this issue. Here is the TUV tweet defending Mika from the ‘transphobia’ of women pointing out a fact—that is is not a woman, and certainly not a mother.

After seeing the clip of Mika on ITV News, you may have felt like you’d seen him on TV before.

Here he is on Sky News celebrating the erasure of language on transport services - ‘Ladies & Gentlemen’ is transphobic, apparently.

By including a trans identified male calling himself ‘mum’ in a news report which had nothing to do with trans issues, ITV News was engaging in a form of near-subliminal trans activism. It clearly endorses and promotes gender identity ideology by pretending this man is a female and a mother, attempting to normalise a harmful ideology and nudge an unsuspecting audience into accepting it.

Things come into focus when you realise that the UK Editor of head of ITV News is one Paul Brand, does know what a mother is when he needs one to produce a baby.

We need to get these activists like Brand out of prominient positions where they can do real harm to women and girls, and spread damaging misogynistic propaganda. Should you wish to make a complaint to Ofcom about ITV News, you can do so here.

And once again—Mika? You ain’t no Mum, bruv.
