Oh readers, you’ve GOT to see this one. I promise you, it gets better with every line.


Here’s the video.

So, quick journalism question for @cathynewman - if it's a story that the chief medical and scientific officer expressed some beliefs on medicine and science, is it also news that this guy said this?
Jonathan Fennelly-Barnwell was the Deputy Director of Approvals at the Health Research Authority when the puberty blockers trial was approved. He's now the Interim Director.

So, some good news. After months of avoiding arrest warrants by hiding, disgraced former policeman and serial plaguer of gender-critical people Lynsay Watson was finally apprehended this week at Manchester Civil Justice Centre, on suspicion of criminal harassment against me.

He was at the court pursuing one of his countless attempts to get gender-critical people imprisoned, Wings got wind of it in advance, and we alerted Greater Manchester Police who went there and arrested him on an outstanding warrant from a complaint I made last year.

Here's the crazy thing. The Scottish Government is spending your money fighting FWS in court in case a theoretical trans murderer sues them for putting him in a male prisoner. Why not just wait and see if that happens, and fight THAT in court instead? You get the same result, you spend the same money, but most of the population doesn't think you're absolute fucking twats in the meantime.

Official: Sandie Peggie harassed by NHS Fife. But this is extraordinary. That's EXACTLY what the Supreme Court DID find, because if you grant access to even a solitary male then IT IS NO LONGER A FEMALE CHANGING ROOM. It's a unisex changing room.

You want to know the big secret, readers? The thing that connects racism, anti-Semitism, "transphobia" and all the rest of them?

Nobody likes a whinger. Folk who've never had a hateful thought about [group X] in their lives suddenly hear them bleating on about how they're not being treated as special enough and they think "Oh shut up you twat, we've all got shit to deal with, why shouldn't you?"

It's yet another epic fail in court for psychotic madman and disgraced ex-cop Lynsay Watson. (Hi Lynsay, I know you're reading.) judiciary.uk/wp-content/upl… Ooft.

Relevant to the thread I posted yesterday: Malcolm is a good guy and his contribution to the gender wars has been invaluable, but this really is the most ridiculous parade of utter bollocks. Good people say stupid stuff sometimes.

This, for example, is obvious shite. “Mainstream SNP strategy” was cuddly to a fault. The party never endorsed Wings, for example, even though we were almost its only journalistic voice, because we were perceived by some as too aggressive.

How many times do you read a story of woke censoriousness or trans capitulation in Scotland and the person responsible looks exactly like this? Sturgeon stuffed every position of influence in the country with them. The chief constable:

It’s so weird that half of Twitter is talking about the Peggie tribunal but only 30 of us are allowed to watch it. It’s a lot of responsibility. For some reason the witness is sitting with her back to the camera today.

Full judgment in Linzi Smith vs Northumbria Police: acrobat.adobe.com/id/urn:aaid:sc… Ouch. (The Defendant is the Chief Constable.)

Uh, no. It’s the result of the actions of transactivists. Uh, no. The court UPHELD the definition of lesbian. A transman is a female, so they were never a straight couple.

It's weird when your worlds collide. In my spare time this week I've been compiling a history of the classic arcade videogame GORF, written by Jay Fenton in 1981. Here's Jay.
And here's Jay (now Jamie Faye) in the early 2000s.

These are the Standing Orders of the Scottish Parliament, clearly stipulating that Maggie Chapman should not have participated in the debate and vote about her own removal. So why were they not followed? parliament.scot/about/how-parl… The only possible answer appears to be that that rule applies to a *specific* committee, solely concerned with member standards. In which case Maggie Chapman's conduct should be the subject of that committee immediately.

Now, I've been saying this for at least a couple of years. The long slog of starting again from scratch is the only realistic option. The problem with that is that this imaginary new party couldn't contain both Robin and me. robinmcalpine.org/theyre-all-tor… I like Robin a lot and I have a vast amount of personal and political respect for him. But we disagree too profoundly on too many issues - Net Zero, to pluck one at random - to ever be able to work in the same party. So now we already need at least TWO new parties.

Russell Findlay invites anyone from Scottish Labour (Anas Sarwar isn't present) to stand up and tell him what it is that they know now that they didn't know when they voted for the GRR. He pauses and waits. Nobody does. Although Mercedes Villalba does stand up and squawk that no harm has ever resulted from self-ID, to some astonishment in the chamber.

Here's Mary Lockhart. She's on the board of NHS Fife. And here's her (husband or brother, we're reading conflicting sources), Patricia. Anything becoming clearer?


Here's Patricia when he was still Peter.

The Scottish Government just released a 67-page "Action Plan" report about something that doesn't exist. tinyurl.com/ynxh6jmm No it fucking isn't.

But, but... you spent the last 10 years telling us they definitely COULDN'T keep refusing, didn't you? I'm sure I remember. Here, for example, you appear to suggest that continuing to refuse is "unsustainable".

Watching the Salmond-Sturgeon documentary. Most of Episode 1 is just a history of the SNP. Some funny old footage but not really very interesting, feels like padding. The only notable bit is the presence of Liz Lloyd. Despite everything that's happened, you get some kind of sense of regret from Sturgeon, Robertson et al, who clearly remember the good times with Salmond. Lloyd is just sheer poisonous hatred, smirking and smearing and knifing. She's grotesque.

Let's actually take a moment to look into the idea of the "15-minute neighbourhood", and what it's actually saying. It immediately sounds a lot like the bad old days of "the company store" to me. A captive market deprived of options. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Company_s…
