1./ 🧵Stephen Fry and Britain's Failure to Take Child Abuse Seriously. Our headlines are dominated by the scandal of institutions that refused to protect girls for fear of seeming "racist". My latest article suggests Stephen Fry's knighthood is from the same copybook.
1/of 21Image
2./ In a society that took child abuse seriously Stephen Fry's long track record of minimising child sexual exploitation would have disbarred him from the nation's top honour. In Fry's first play 'Latin' an adult teacher sexually abuses a 13 year old boy and takes him to Morocco. Image
3./ The boy writes back to his schoolmates praising the country which he claims takes a relaxed attitude to sex between men and underage boys. They petition to visit. Fry's interest in adolescent boys continues in 'Hippopotamus' in which a 15 year old has sex with adults.Image
4./ These abusive adults consider the sex so extraordinary they believe it has cured them of disease. There are endless descriptions by Fry of the 15 year old's naked body that culminate in a 3 page account of him having sex with a horse. I'll spare you the pornographic details. Image
5./ If this troubling attitude to child abuse was reserved for Fry's fiction perhaps it could be put down to some kind of dramatic license. Instead it seeps into Fry's public statements. In 2016 he told abuse victims to stop feeling sorry for themselves. Image
6./ He shocked a BAFTA audience with a joke that implied the appalling abuse of children by paedophile priests in the film 'Spotlight' was an example of a love theme in a movie. Where on earth does Fry get his apparent complacence about child safeguarding?

7./ In his memoir 'Moab is My Washpot' Fry revealed as an adolescent -unlike young gays today - he was inspired by the historical example of old gay men "sequestered in Capri and Tangier". Perhaps he was unaware Capri and Tangier historically were infamous bywords for pederasty. Image
8./ That seems unlikely if a remarkable article Fry wrote in 2009 is anything to go by. In a letter to his younger self Fry celebrated a list of 20 "queer" icons he claims inspired him as a 16 year old. Many are obscure. Only two have no link to pederasty.
theguardian.com/media/2009/apr…
9./ While huge gay icons like Walt Whitman, Edward Carpenter and E M Forster are notably absent Fry includes names like Wilhelm von Gloeden whose photographs of naked adolescent Sicilian boys were all the rage at the turn of the 20th Century. Among men of a certain persuasion. Image
10./ Perhaps Fry is unaware Gloeden didn't just photograph boys he procured them for men. Who else is on the list Fry said "emboldens you [his 16 year old self] "to know that such a number of brilliant ...souls shared the same impulse and desires as you.” Let's find out.👉
11./ Robin Maugham was a well-regarded novelist but his memoir openly acknowledged his life-long pursuit of boys. He travelled to an oasis in Egypt when he was told local bachelors were allowed to chase prepubescent boys...and rxpe them. He's not the only scumbag on Fry's list. Image
12./ The French playwright Henry de Montherlant wasn't just an arch misogynist and an advocate of collaboration with the Nazis he ruthlessly and violently predated on young boys. He compared his visits to Algeria to rxpe boys to ....hunting for animals. Image
13./ French writer Roger Peyrefitte was a friend of Montherlant. They hunted boys together. Fry may have been unaware of his pederasty despite the fact Peyrefitte was completely open about it. 'Notre Amour' published in 1967 is an account of his "relationship" with a 14 year old. Image
14./ He would later admit the boy was 12 when he began abusing him sexually. The French literary Establishment showered awards on him. Of course they did. I won't go through all of Fry's list of allegedly inspiring "queer" icons. The last one for now is Angus Stewart. Who he? Image
15./ In 'Tangier: A Writer's Notebook' it soon becomes clear Stewart's penchant is for boys aged 11. Even if somehow a 16 year old Fry mistakenly thought the likes of Stewart were inspirational it beggars belief a 51 year old Fry in 2009 would continue to applaud these predators.
16./ And yet Fry did applaud them and has never to my knowledge uttered a word of criticism about any of the predators in his rogue's gallery of a list. Indeed he went further, saying, "those same names are still so close to the surface of my mind nearly four decades later".Image
17./ What's the connection between Fry's knighthood and the rxpe gang scandal? Like Pakistani Muslims Fry is a member of a group our institutions too often consider immune from criticism: gay men. Calling out his attitude to abuse might have seemed homophobic. But it isn't.
18./ As a gay man who experienced grooming as a schoolboy (my teacher was eventually jailed) it infuriates me that prominent gay men like Fry can minimise, joke about and even it would seem celebrate child abusers as "inspirational". This is not in the best interests of gay men.
19./ If a culture of immunity develops where some gay men -like some predatory Pakistani Muslim men- begin to think no one will dare to criticise them that can only embolden others who don't just hold dodgy views like Fry but indulge in dodgy real-world behaviour.
20./ The UK has seen fit to honour a man who sexualises adolescent boys in his fiction, frequently minimises the horrors of abuse and writes approvingly of notorious child rxpists. That reveals just how much our Establishment really cares about child exploitation. It doesn't.
21./ If you want to read the full story of Fry's shocking views and how they connect to the long and tawdry failure by the gay movement to properly address the behaviour of its historical icons like Oscar Wilde then click on the link in my bio. 👆👆👆

🧵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? Image
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. Image
Image
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. Image

🧵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.👉 Image
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.👉 Image
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.Image
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. Image

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. Image
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. Image
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. 👉 Image

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.👉Image
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-…Image
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? 👉 Image
