1./ A reminder not every "COVID expert" is a genius. Here's @SusanMichie backing Nicola Sturgeon's refusal to shorten the COVID isolation period. But isn't Michie a psychologist not a virologist? As for her own pandemic record it's hardly been stellar.
thetimes.co.uk/article/covid-…
2./ On the 13th March 2020 as one expert warned "Every day of delay will kill. Close close down schools and events now', Michie told @BBCNewsnight it would be pointless to make mass sporting events non-spectator. People would gather in the pub to watch them instead. Ok Einstein.
3./ When it's pointed out Sturgeon has banned more than 500 people attending gatherings or sporting events, Michie insists "no one has the right answer". Above all, English people should trust their own Chief Medical Officer, and Chief Scientist. So why not trust them now?
4./ As for how the biggest pandemic in a century has changed her own lifestyle, Michie explains she's now stopped touching her face and washes her hands more often when entering offices. Oh and wait for this: she now carries tissues. Wow. No facemask? No staying at home? No clue.
5./ Michie is a huge supporter of China's Communist regime. Maybe that explains her apparent willingness to rewrite history. Here's the Zero Covid Campaign claiming she supported lockdown since March 2020, the same month of that Newsnight where she appeared to say the opposite.👇 Image
6./ At that same Zero Covid online event she blamed the Tories for 100000 deaths. But since the Tories locked down just 10 days after her interview defending not locking down isn't she being a tad hypcritical? Maybe her fervent support for Corbyn explains her skewed judgement.👇 Image
7./ Once Comrade Susan had reinvented herself she dares to express her own instinctive communist-supporting authoritarianism. When asked on Channel 5 News how long COVID rules and restrictions might have to last...she really did plump for ...forever (at 0.26).
8./ The fact Susan Michie prefers Sturgeon's approach to isolation means you can be almost sure the policy is a wrong-headed piece of posturing. Lots of other countries are already following England's lead; ones that don't put point-scoring above outcomes. theguardian.com/world/2021/dec…

1./ Well done America!! Here's why everyone, whatever their politics, should applaud the closure of the Trevor Project's so-called "suicide hotline". This fraudulent organisation has wreaked havoc for too long. Let me tell you just some of their lies. 👉
thetrevorproject.org/blog/closed-tr…
2./ The Trevor Project has spent millions grifting for Big Pharma, advocating the medicalisation of confused kids using idiot celebrities like Daniel Radcliffe to promote their effective sterilisation using puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones.
3./ Yet just months before Radcliffe role-played as a mini-Mengele the CEO of the Trevor Project, Amit Paley, was fired after it was revealed he'd previously been a drug-pusher for oxycontin billionaires: the notorious Sackler family. It gets worse.👉

1./ 🧵Why are LGBTQ+ organisations so terrible at child safeguarding? My latest essay argues trans ideology is not the only reason. Worse is the historic refusal by gays to acknowledge our movement was started by men who saw paedophiles as brothers in arms. Fasten your seatbelts. Image
2./ The campaign for gay equality began in 1864 when Karl Ulrichs published the first of 12 short volumes arguing same-sex attraction was normal. The word homosexuality hadn't been invented yet so he coined the word 'Uranian'. Crazy name. Not as crazy as some of his ideas.👉Image
3./ Ulrichs' books electrified gay men and women in the late 19th and early 20th Centuries. Intellectuals from Oscar Wilde to André Gide now called themselves ...Uranian. So did Magnus Hirschfeld, favourite icon of the LGBTQ+ lobby, who based his research on Ulrichs' ideasImage

1./ How captured is the BBC by the LGBTQ+ lobby and why does it matter? On Eastenders tonight, Albert Square was celebrating Pride. Of course it was. And as in every working class community in London’s East End absolutely everybody was dressing up for the local Pride party. 🤔
2./ The pecking order in Walford is now determined by how pro-LGBTQ+ characters are. So Kathy Beale silences her rival by pointing out she’s at the Pride event because her son is err… “part of the Queer community”. An everyday riposte in Whitechapel and Bethnal Green no doubt.
3./ It’s true East End life is more “diverse” today than the bad old days when the White Swan on Commercial Road was a rare gay oasis. But colour me skeptical there is any East End community with as many cross dressing blokes as appear in the background in Albert Square.

1. Climate Change Hyperbole.
How should we respond to global warming? In my latest article I examine how last year's flood in Valencia was misrepresented and misused to argue we should decarbonise our economy more urgently than we are already doing.👉 Image
Image
2./ The climate change lobby ignored the fact Valencia had flooded 75 times before and the geology of the region could almost be designed to produce flash floods. Flooding in Valencia got so bad in 1957 the city decided to reroute the river that used to run through the centre. Image
3./ Coverage of the flood ignored all this and the fact rivers flowing into Valencia emerge 5500ft up a mountain range. This steep gradient means when extreme rainfall occurs water rushes to the city in a torrent. Nor can it escape because of almost vertical ravine river banks. Image

1./ 🧵The Lies of Sarah McBride: The Sequel.
This leading trans activist claims the trans lobby now faces hostility cos it failed to take the time to convince the public. Yet it was McBride himself who ruthlessly championed the most extreme positions. 👉
nytimes.com/2025/06/17/opi…
2./ After @HRC failed to stop a law in North Carolina protecting women's spaces McBride led its revenge campaign to ensure its Republican Governor was not re-elected. "It would send a really important message: if you come for us we're going to come for you", warned McBride.
3./ Invading women's restrooms was such a complusion for McBride that in a 2018 Google seminar he admitted HRC killed a non-discrimination bill in Philadelphia protecting gay and trans people from employment discrimination just because it had an exemption for women's restrooms.

1./ Iran's Tran$ Plan. If you want to understand what drives trans ideology look at what's happening in Iran where a new national plan aims to increase revenue from medical tourism six fold; including from the country's booming gender clinics. Why does this matter?
1 of/11.👉Image
2./ In the West, trans activists and gender clinicians often try to disguise their homophobia. In Iran where homosexuality is punishable by death and trans ideology is officially sanctioned there's no such need. Gender clinics effectively offer to save gays. By mutilating them. Image
3./ My article reveals this gruesome money-machine is being boosted as Iran aims to make $6Bn a year from medical tourism. A key role will be played by its competing private gender clinics which are among the busiest in the world. Only Thailand does more 'sex change surgery'. Image
