Looking for great movies to watch during lockdown? Well, don't take my advice, take Pedro Almodovar's in his moving Quarantine diaries where he talks sci fi, isolation and grief. As well as...Shirley Bassey. indiewire.com/2020/04/pedro-…
2./ In this entry he riffs on meeting Sean Connery (gulp), celebrates actress Lucia Bosé and explores the power of the force of nature that was Chavela Vargas. Here he is speaking about her in 2017.
3./ And if that's whetted your appetite then try the second diary entry which has an even more wonderful selection of movies, more thoughtful reflections on COVID-19 and the most enjoyable take down of Madonna since well...ever. indiewire.com/2020/04/pedro-…

🧵1./ So who’s the guy the First Minister of Scotland is cuddling up to? A 2 minute search through the timeline of Sid Khan -“a remarkable Scot” 👀- reveals how dodgy his views are. What was Sid’s reaction on October 7th 2023 when young clubbers were blown apart and many raped?
2./ This “remarkable Scot” (sic) failed to express an iota of horror about parents being slaughtered in front of their kids or terrorists decapitating innocent civilians. His reflex response was to complain there was “wall to wall coverage” of the most deadly pogrom since WW2.
3./ He also retweeted a post essentially justifying this pogrom as a means of terrifying Israelis who “must be made to understand that it is impossible to live in peace”. This remember was posted on the day of the massacre itself. Khan was glorying in Jewish fear.
🧵1./ Hypocritcal Greens
The co-chair of @lgbtiqa_greens asks what @AllianceLGB has done for LGB people. Highlighting the dangers of puberty blockers on its own means it's done more for LGB peeps than the whole LGBTQ+ lobby has since 2014. There's more tho and an ironic twist.👉
2. For one thing @alliancelgb cherishes the distinct history and collective memories of LGB people. For example, to mark the late Queen's Jubilee it celebrated the transformation in the rights of homosexual men in the UK during Her Majesty's long reign.
3./ One reason @AllianceLGB was set up was because gay history was being rewritten to spin a false narrative that centred trans people. If you don't believe me listen to @FredSargeant who was at the Stonewall Riots and helped organise the first Pride.
🧵 1./ A Crash Course in LGBTQ+ Lunacy.
6 years ago this month LGB people decided we'd had enough of the misogyny and child-harm of the trans lobby and its LGBTQ+ enablers. We were exasperated by stuff like this: kids being told in schools there were over a hundred genders.🤦♂️👇
2./ In the 80s gays expelled paedo-defenders who infiltrated our movement. So imagine our horror when guys like ex-jailbird 'Stefoknee' Wolscht starting identifying as 6 year old girls. He led an LGBTQ+ campaign for access to girls' bathrooms. What could possibly go wrong? 🤔
4./ Gays were told we'd lots in common with trans people. But older gays knew the early trans movement was distinctly bonkers. The man who ran the first trans lobby group in the UK, "Della" Aleksander, claimed in 1974 to commune by medium with Adolf Hitler. As one does.
1./ Owen Jones, the Far Left's most vicious prom queen, spends so much of his time in a rage you can almost hear the cogs turning in his crack-wracked, anger-damaged brain. Hand on hip, petulant lips pursed, every insult is though a projection of his own flaws and fears.👉
2./ His favourite insult is to call opponents "a nasty piece of work" which would just be pot/kettle rich if this creepy pipsqueak with a Napoleonne complex didn't also seem to get tumescent any time he cudgels a woman on social media. He even sought to bully a sixth form girl.
3./ Nothing makes this pint-size Pol Pot froth more than women standing up for themselves. He infamously took the side of a registered sex offender when he was accused of exposing himself at a spa. It was all a Far Right plot OJ claimed. The offender was on the run at the time.
1./ My latest article explores vaccination and how it became a victim of America's tribal politics. For decades Robert F Kennedy Jr has spread lies about vaccines. But his biggest critics on the Left can hardly complain. Their trans lobby lies are as outrageous as his.
2./ At a recent hearing RFK Jr was assailed by Elizabeth Warren for his "reckless disregard for science and the truth". Yet Warren lied about her Native American heritage and said she'd let a "9 year old trans kid" veto her choice of Cabinet members if she became President. Duhh.
3./ In 2023, Warren, Bernie Sanders and Tina Smith who now criticise Kennedy signed a motion demanding a Trans Bill of Rights that erased women's rights, sports and spaces as well as denying basic human biology. The Bill was a scientific scandal in another way. 👉
1./ 🧵What's the Truth About Trans Surgery? 2 months ago I wrote about a surgeon who conspired with body mutilating fetishists to have his healthy legs amputated. The aptly named Neil Hopper has now been jailed. Let me tell you how his story shines a light on the trans agenda.👉
2./ It's not that Hopper claims he always wanted to be a girl. Nor that he took advice about his amputations from a cult led by Marius Gustavson, an LGBTQ+ activist who cut his penis off and kept it in a drawer. As opposed to his drawers. There's more.👉 cornwalllive.com/news/cornwall-…
3./ Gustavson's two compulsions- the desire for castration and that for limb amputation- were recognised as fellow sexual paraphilias by the man who first popularised the term "gender identity" and helped set up the world's first gender clinic: Professor John Money. Who he? 👉
