@benjamincohen

😂 The Pink News comedy show keeps getting funnier. Here’s @benjamincohen responding to the govt’s announcement it has rejected gender Self-ID, which he championed for 5 years. He starts with a trademark bizarre accusation, this time about genital inspections. Click here to see👇

@trussliz

2./ Then he tries to suck up to @trussliz claiming her rejection of Self-ID is....”sensible”. It is indeed which is why that’s been the central demand of @ALLIANCELGB since we were founded; despite furious accusations of “hatefulness” from Pink News and yep Benjamin himself.

3./ Here’s a reminder of just a few of the stories his demented rag has run demanding Self-ID in the last few months. The most recent was yesterday. 👇 In the world of Pink News no one just asks ....they plead. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🤦‍♂️

4/ Here’s Pink News preparing its pleady needy readers for the worst news possible ever - Literally- complete with its usual mad exaggeration. Apparently there’s an “overwhelming number” in favour of Self-ID. Yeah in the Pink News gender neutral loos maybe. 👇

5./ Here’s Pink News bewailing the PM’s lack of interest in Self ID despite more “overwhelming support”. They must be referring to a legion of copycat responses to the govt’s consultation PN urged readers to send in. The public were on a different page as they soon discovered.

@YouGov

6./ When Pink News asked @YouGov to poll the actual public it had to treat the results like a Japanese cook handling a deadly fugu fish: with great care. There was a small majority in favour of Self-ID among women. But what happened to overwhelming?

7./ If you wonder why misogynist PN suddenly took such an interest in women’s views it’s because there wasn’t a majority of blokes who supported Self ID and so only 50% of the entire British public were in support. Overwhelming majority? I don’t think so.👇pinknews.co.uk/2020/07/09/tra…

@benjamincohen

8./ This didn’t stop @benjamincohen giving quotes to other news outlets that were in danger of misrepresenting the results. Here he is saying the majority of the public supported Self ID👇 independent.co.uk/life-style/tra…

@YouGov

9./ I know denying the reality of biology may make your grasp of facts unstable but this is just weird. Maybe it was why @YouGov felt the need a week later to publish its own polling in more detail. This revealed a much more nuanced picture. 👇yougov.co.uk/topics/politic…

10./ One crucial finding was that while a majority supported transwomen being able to enter women’s single sex spaces a much larger majority was against pre-op transwomen being able to do so. It’s thought most transwomen choose to retain their male genitals.

11./ Another revealing finding was that despite an eagerness to be as kind as possible and go along with some trans demands the public were pretty evenly split as to whether they really believed trans people were the gender they said they were. 36% of the public didn’t. 👇

12./ This led to a raging article in Pink News which denounced the same company -You Gov- for daring to ask the public questions about trans people that Pink News had just paid to ask the public questions about trans people. 👇

13./ This was all of a piece with Pink News’s bias, its insane vitriol, its refusal to report factually, its pile-ons, the personal attacks,misrepresentations and witch hunts that have been such a feature of its campaign for Self ID

14/. The killer finding in You Gov’s poll was the VAST majority of the public actually support the CURRENT gender recognition process. By 63 to 16% they favoured medical diagnosis for example as well as proof of a 2 year process of transition. That’s what I call overwhelming.👇

15./ This is what makes the refusal of the govt to be bullied into compliance so uplifting for our side. They and we are in line with the public view not the ragged cadre at Pink News that increasingly resembles the strange, wide-eyed cult of the Sparrows from ‘Game of Thrones’.

16./ It’ll be fun to see whether the little Sparrows back at Pink News will now back Benjamin’s description of the govt’s approach as “sensible”. Maybe the little ones don’t appreciate how dependent their rag now is on govt adverti$ing. Kerching.👇

@stonewalluk

17./ Maybe Benjamin will soon sing the same song as @stonewalluk that calls the govt’s decision “a shocking failure of leadership”. Nancy Kelley will know all about that. We hear reports her staff are in open rebellion.👇

18./ Since Stonewall became obsessed with trans rights to the detriment of LGB people its gone from a healthy financial surplus to last year a loss of £1M. It’s said to be living off reserves. Acceptance without exceptions ....🤦‍♂️

19./ However they spin it the govt’s decision is a huge blow to both Pink News and Stonewall, and a solid win for our side. But it’s just a start. There’s so much work to do to roll back the capture of our institutions by the nonsense of ‘gender identity’ theory. Up and at them.

1./ The Elon problem. Now @Nigel_Farage has been dumped by @elonmusk and Jess Phillips traduced by him it's time people remembered he has a track record of baseless attacks on innocent people. Like the time he called a brave rescue diver... "pedo guy".
theguardian.com/technology/201…

2./ British diver Vern Unsworth was leading the attempt to rescue schoolboys trapped in a Thai cave. That attempt -against all the odds- ended in spectacular success. Musk tho had publicly dismissed the team's chances. Worse still he insisted the team use his experimental tech.

3./ Unsworth rejected Musk's offer of a mini submarine which had never been used for rescue and which he knew would not work. After much online tit for tat he described the sub idea as a PR Stunt. For that offence Musk labelled him "pedo guy", a disgusting, unwarranted slur.

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?

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.
