I passed by Glasgow's latest hate march earlier today which featured the usual chants about driving Israel and Jews into the sea, but a new take on things as well: "IT'S NOT A PEACE DEAL - IT'S A FUCKING SCAM" So there we have it - Hamas has been isolated politically, told to release the hostages, lay down its arms and prepare to withdraw from an active role in running Gaza. President Trump's peace deal has the backing of all the major Arab countries including Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Qatar and Turkey. Yet these protesters feel disappointed and sorry for Hamas which has lost ground, politically and militarily, after starting a bloody war with Israel on October 7 2023. Never underestimate the stupidity of an angry mob.    

The Greens are a party of cranks, weirdos and bigots these days - evidenced by Sian Berry, the Green MP for Brighton Pavilion, who thinks women gathering to discuss their sex based rights are 'asking for it', ie to be harassed and attacked by male trans activists.

Good call from Sonya Douglas - report Brighton and Hove council to the Local Government Ombudsman for refusing an application for a Public Spaces Protection Order which would have prevented delegates to the FiLiA conference being harassed by obnoxious male trans activists. Looks like the council followed the example of Police Scotland in Edinburgh who allowed a well know male trans activists to disrupt a For Women Scotland rally outside the Scottish Parliament on 4 September 2025. Women have never disrupted trans events, but these angry, aggressive, often violent men seem to think they  are able to harass women and disrupt events where women gather to discuss their rights. 

A reminder from the blog archive - my letter of complaint to Scotland's chief constable, Jo Farrell, regarding the woeful policing of the For Women Scotland rally outside the Scottish Parliament on Thursday 4 September 2025. Jo Farrell Chief Constable Police Scotland Dear Chief Constable Farrell Policing of For Women Scotland Rally At The Scottish Parliament I wish to register a formal complaint over the policing of the For Women Scotland (FWS) rally at the Scottish Parliament on Thursday 4 September 2025. For some unexplained reason the police officers on duty allowed a counter-protest to set up right next to the spot where FWS supporters would be gathering to listen to invited speakers. The individual behind this counter-protest is a man called Tom Harlow who is well known to the authorities and he proceeded to play extremely loud music through a sound system with the sole intention of disrupting the event by drowning out the FWS speakers. The general effect was to harass women w...

I've heard back from Police Scotland to say that my complaint about the woeful policing of the For Women Scotland rally at the Scottish Parliament on 4 September - is still under investigation. So I've written to them again to gee things up a bit because when you think of it what is there to investigate - the facts are crystal clear? Dear Police Scotland COMPLAINT ABOUT THE POLICE Thank you for your letter dated 29 September 2025 I note that Police Scotland is still investigating the matter - if you would like to clarify any points with me, please feel free to get in touch. Since I lodged my complaint with Police Scotland it has become clear that, unlike For Women Scotland (FWS), Mr Tom Harlow (real name Thomas Michael Moncrieff Carlin) did not have the required permission from the Scottish Parliament authorities to hold any demonstration/counter protest on Thursday 4 September 2025. In my view, this was basic error on the part of the police officers present because Mr Harlow d...

Piers Morgan asks Green Party leader Zack Polanski whether a woman can have a penis - with the conversation ending with Polanski claiming he knows more than the Supreme Court. 📺 https://t.co/3ifarmLEXK @piersmorgan | @ZackPolanski pic.twitter.com/bKocZhNdIb — Piers Morgan Uncensored (@PiersUncensored) October 9, 2025 Zack Polanski is a crank who believes a woman can have a penis - and that he knows more about the law than the UK Supreme Court.
