More on Brazil, and this time how our own jolly trans activists managed to add some fuel to the fire(s). What would u do if you were the British Council or Creative Scotland and u were funding an arts festival across Brazil in 2016? You'd surely recognise there was a bitter...
...Culture War underway in which the religious Right were in full froth mode. You'd know trans rights and 'gender ideology' was at the heart of that War. You'd likely note that central to the opposition to "gender ideology" was the accusation that European countries were trying..
..to foist their values on Brazil in a form of latter day colonialism. Wouldn't you wonder if maybe we should tread just a little warily? We could be smart and a little subversive perhaps but we could also focus on some uncontroversial stuff too. Things that might nudge..rather
..kick doors down? But if you're a cultural apparatchik at the British Council or Creative Scotland and you've been brainwashed by Stonewall and its Queer Theory baloney about the importance of creating outrage and celebrating deviance you wouldn't care would you?
You'd dismiss all these doubts and you'd place at the centre of the arts festival you're funding with taxpayers money, a play about a trans Jesus by a transgender playwright. The play called 'The Gospel According to Jesus, Queen of Heaven' opened amid protests in May 2016. ..
It wasn't long until it was denounced by a politician gaining a name for himself, some bloke called Bolsonaro. As anger mounted, armed guards would eventually have to protect the venues. Here's playwright..
I'm sure Clifford's play is fascinating. And I'd happily go along and see it. I'd have no objection at all if a private theatre group wanted to fund its tour anywhere. But for holy Pete's sake ..how could it possibly have helped in the middle of a culture war in a highly ..
...religious country for our state funded cultural institutions to sponsor this play? The answer of course is that trans activists driven by Queer Theory precepts believe in provocation. It's why our 'No Outsiders' initiative in this country..
..was launched in a majority Muslim School. Maximum outrage. Maximum provocation. Well, in the end you reap what you sow as someone may or may not have said. Brazil was indeed outraged and Bolsanaro had something else to keep himself on the front pages, something else
..to back his claim that rich secularizing outsiders were using their money to try to change Brazil. When the British Council and Creative Scotland look at Brazil now (if they can see through the smoke that is ) do they pat themselves on the back, and tell each other..
"well that was a very effective use of taxpayer's money". Maybe they do. But you know what as backlash builds over trans activism's arrogance and the way it has wheedled its way into institutions as well as its hamfisted attempts to impose unsupportable and sometimes downright..
...crazy notions on the public both here and abroad, the sooner liberals and the left (and all fairminded tolerant people) cut them loose and tell them 'not in my name'...the better.
1./ A Puberty Blockers Triumph. The UK permanently bans blockers for under 18s. Many brave people fought for this but ONLY ONE lesbian and gay group did. This was the little film I directed for @alliancelgb about the scandal. It moved some to tears.👇
2./ LGB Alliance was relentlessly defamed by @owenjonesjourno, the creeps at Pink News and the rest of the immoral LGBTQ+ lobby who used government money to campaign FOR the effective sterilisation of kids. With small donations @AllianceLGB fought back with posters like this.
3./ It is worth remembering that only 2 years ago NOT ONE newspaper would take the ad and @TfL refused to put it on buses or the tube. @KateBMwriting was forced to hire vans to take the message round Westminster as she sought to alert politicians to the tragedy.
1./ My latest article dissects the career of a woman who may be one of the most dishonest people in public life: Ruth Hunt. She turned Stonewall into a wing of the toxic trans lobby despite saying she wouldn't. That was only the start of her disregard for ethics.
2./ How ethical was Hunt's behaviour at Stonewall? In the 2016 accounts there's an intriguing note referring to payments of £68,400 made to Caroline Ellis. She was and still is Ruth Hunt's partner. The payments were "conducted at arms length" the note assures us. If you say so.
3./ Ellis and Hunt are still in business together. Tho it's more obviously above board now. They run a consultancy together that teaches managers in NHS Trusts how to use pronouns. And presumably how to tie their shoelaces. If you have money to burn...these are your gals.
1./ Cows and Crazy Conspiracists.
It's good to be skeptical of scientific claims. Big Pharma's promotion of puberty blockers is shameful. BUT the people making claims about Bovaer which cuts methane from cattle don't care about evidence or people's jobs. thetimes.com/uk/healthcare/…
2./ Farmers already feel under attack by the Starmer government. The Dairy Industry was already struggling with soaring costs. So for @TiceRichard now to support a boycott of @ArlaFoodsUK who employ 5000 jobs in the UK based on no serious evidence is an utter disgrace.
3./ Tice says Bovaer is bonkers. Yet the irony is he quotes Patrick Holden who is as bonkers as they come. Holden is up to his armpits in mystical manure from astrology to homeopathy. Does Reform now argue, like Holden, farming should all be organic? dailymaverick.co.za/opinionista/20…
1./ If you'd like to read my FULL story of LGBT Youth Scotland: including how the FBI helped track down its paedophile CEO and why I suspect its current CEO is teling porkies I've taken down the paywall.
Click on the link in my bio. It's dated September 4th.
2./ The article highlights quotes from a special session Holyrood held in 2005 to honour Rennie and LGBTYS. Nora Radcliffe (Lib Dems) said: "I commend the excellent, highly competent leadership LGBT Youth Scotland gets from Jamie Rennie." Rennie beamed from the public gallery.
3./ Tricia Marwick (SNP) said of Rennie's group, “the work they do is amazing and I cannot praise them enough.” It “deserves all our congratulations and support” because it “helps young people at their most vulnerable.” By then Rennie had been raping a baby for a year.
1./ Who is Jaguar aiming its new 'Copy Nothing' cars at? On its website Jaguar features a sneak peek at its new target market: "queer creatives." If the company believes this sort of posturing fakery is going to sell cars it is more deluded than we imagined.
2./ The problem with Jaguar targetting the "queer" demographic is this minority is increasingly driving everyone else up the wall with their unreasonable demands and bullying arrogance. Here Layton Williams wonders why "queer" people are all creative. Spoiler: they're not.
3./ It is daft for a brand to hitch its wagon to a minority -the 'queer' identified- that revel in causing offence. Jaguar will end up associated with brittle, hyper-sensitive people who lack authenticity. 'Copy Nothing', says the company's ad. Don't worry Jaguar. We won't.
1./ 🧵 The truth behind that Jaguar ad.
Last week's 'Copy Nothing' advert for Jaguar was so bonkers it's tempting to assume it was a joke or an accident. It was neither. It represents the culmination of a campaign to groom a great British brand by the insane LGBTQ+ lobby.
1/20
2./ One sign of that was a review by Attitude the LGBTQ+ magazine which claimed the fact @Nigel_Farage and @elonmusk loathed the ad proved it was genius. Is Kamala a genius then since they loathe her too? Attitude is at the heart of this bizarre story. attitude.co.uk/life/how-hate-…
3./ The roots of the ad campaign can be traced back to October 2021 when Jaguar tried out bold primary colours and meaningless slogans in ads specifically for Attitude. Then the slogan was Live Loud. Hilariously, @Kantar_UKI claimed it was one of the top UK ads ever. 🤣
