🧵The Cringe Countdown – Top 10 Most EDI-Obsessed Police Forces in the UK 🇬🇧🚨
Policing, but make it HR.

1/
Policing used to be about catching criminals.
Now it’s rainbow patrol cars, TikTok dances and HR-approved pronoun badges.
Here’s the Cringe Countdown: the 10 UK police forces most committed to fighting crime... against feelings. 🧵Image

🔟 @PoliceServiceNI – The Wrap Patrol

PSNI unveiled a rainbow squad car for Belfast Pride so bold it could double as a RuPaul tour bus.
Visibility? Maximum. Deterrence? Minimal.
Still, great photo op.

9️⃣ @NorfolkPolice – 37 Genders Later

Issued staff a guide with 37 identities and the “Genderbread Person.”
Includes “neutrois” and “grey-asexual.”

8️⃣ @cheshirepolice – The Rainbow Rover

Cheshire proudly rolled out the Hate Crime Car™ – a Pride-wrapped police vehicle to make you feel safe while your car gets stolen.
Tactical use? Decorative.

7️⃣ @BTP – Train to Woke Central

“If you don’t like this flag,” they tweeted, “don’t apply.”
Diversity – but only the approved kind.
Inclusivity score: rainbow. Legal score: pending.

6/
6️⃣ @LincsPolice – Strictly Come Policing

Caught on film doing the Macarena in full kit at Lincoln Pride.
Crime scene? Unattended. Rhythm? Impeccable.

Image
7/
5️⃣ @MerseyPolice – “Offence is an Offence”

Drove around with a billboard reading: “Being offensive is an offence.”
It isn’t.
They had to retract it. The law remains unoffended.

4️⃣ @Humberbeat – The Thought Police Arrive

Investigated a man over a limerick.
Told him to “check his thinking.”

3️⃣ @sussex_police – Pronouns Over Prison

Defended a convicted male paedophile’s gender identity on Twitter.
Deleted it. Apologised. Even their PCC said they’d “lost the plot.”
Plot still missing.

news.sky.com/story/sussex-p…Image
10/
2️⃣ @PoliceScotland – Gender First, Victims Second

Recorded male rapists as female if they self-identified.
Eventually reversed course. But not before rape was classed a "woman’s crime."
Policy score: Spectacularly unwise.

telegraph.co.uk/news/2022/02/2…Image
11/
1️⃣ @WestYorksPolice – HR with Handcuffs

Temporarily banned white British men from applying to be officers.
Applicants ranked by ethnicity.
Britain’s most EDI-funded force.
Crime prevention? Optional.
yahoo.com/news/police-fo…
And that’s the Cringe Countdown.
Pride patrol cars. Pronoun policing. The Macarena.
In 2025, the only thing being arrested… is reality.

Sure I missed plenty.

🧵 WHO’S WHO in the Peggie v NHS Fife tribunal

10 players. One massive case.
A career on the line. A policy on the ropes.
And a government refusing to accept biological reality - despite the law.

Here’s some of the cast of the most consequential workplace tribunal in modern Britain.Image
1. Sandie Peggie – The Whistleblower Nurse
30 years in A&E.
Suspended after objecting to a male-bodied doctor in the women’s changing room.
Claims sex-based belief, harassment and whistleblowing protection.
Was she punished for prejudice - or punished for honesty?Image
2. NHS Fife – The Board in the Dock
Spent £220,500 defending the case.
Blocked FOIs. Tried to silence live coverage.
Internal HR emails called Peggie’s suspension “ludicrous.”
Now on trial for its culture, risk management and submission to ideological HR policy in defiance of the law.Image

1/🧵The @GoodLawProject receives much applause from the legally adjacent; it is time for a colder appraisal. Its litigation record is poor; its public representations are selective; its founder cultivates notoriety rather than trust. Let us begin.👇 Image
2/ GLP claims a 45% win rate. This includes cases it did not bring, including Miller (2016). A forensic audit by Labour Pains identified just 8 genuine wins in 49 cases - a strike rate of 16%. A spreadsheet of failure.
🔗 labourpainsblog.com/2022/12/05/goo…
3/ In a PPE case, GLP’s lawyers served the claim form one day late. The Court of Appeal dismissed the case, calling the error “careless”. The court never heard the merits; £427,000 of donor funds vanished on a procedural misstep.

Ever wonder where gender ideology actually came from?
Not TikTok. Not Reddit.
Academia.
And one philosopher in particular mechanised it: Judith Butler.

The architect of the belief that sex is fiction, womanhood is theatre and identity is a script.👇Image
Let’s begin with the foundation:
Butler claims gender isn’t something you are; it’s something you do.
Not truth and most certainly not biology. A socially rehearsed routine, in fact.Image
But it gets worse.

There is no identity behind the act.
No core self. No anchor. You’re not expressing gender - you’re producing it!Image

🧵
Ever wonder why your GP, BBC and local HR suddenly talk of ‘gender identity’?
Not chance. It’s a blueprint.
This thread digs into how euphemisms were strategically embedded into everyday British language.
👇Image
1. Judith Butler, Gender Trouble (1990)

“There is no gender identity behind the expressions of gender… identity is performatively constituted.”

This wasn’t just ivory tower babble.

It seeded the idea that gender is something you do; not something you are.

By the 2000s, this theory was being quietly smuggled into policy.Image
2. Ruth Hunt, Stonewall CEO, 2015

“Silence is not neutrality. It is collusion.”

This was the moment Stonewall dropped the LGB mask and went full TQ+.

From that point, silence wasn’t allowed. Every public body was expected to speak the new language—or else.Image

🧵 Thread: How Disney Traded Brand Equity for Trans Ideology

This is how Disney - once the most trusted family entertainment brand - sacrificed its equity for ideology.
Not through films.
Through HR. Through policy. Through training.
All while claiming it was “just being kind.”👇Image
2/ 2005 to 2010: The shift began quietly

Every year since 2007, Disney has hit 100% on the Human Rights Campaign Corporate Equality Index -thanks to gender identity protections and transition -related healthcare benefits for employees.

3/ 2010s: Internal compliance culture

DEI programs introduced pronoun training and support for transitioning staff - encouraging employees to “bring their full selves” to work.

🧵 Thread: How @BBC Became a National Vector for Gender Ideology (2005–2025)

1/ For two decades, @BBC hasn’t just reported on gender ideology; it has amplified and normalised it. This thread outlines how one of the most influential institutions in the UK adopted a belief system that remains legally and scientifically contested.Image
2/ 2005–2010: The Drift Begins

Following the Gender Recognition Act, the BBC began shifting its editorial tone. By 2010, its own diversity reports used activist terms like “gender identity” and “assigned at birth” - introduced without legal or scientific grounding.
👇 downloads.bbc.co.uk/aboutthebbc/in…Image
3/ 2010–2015: Outsourcing Neutrality

.@BBC joined Stonewall’s Diversity Champions scheme. Policy, language and training materials began aligning with Stonewall definitions. A lobby group was shaping editorial norms; the BBC still claimed independence.
