Badenoch Puts The SNP Bullies To Shame

Image
A reminder of Kemi Badenoch's principled decision to talk to all the players in the sex versus gender debate when she was the UK Government's Equalities Minister. By way of contrast Scotland's equalities minister (Christina McKelvie) was busy campaigning on social media and making false claims about TWAW (Trans Women Are Women) being the law. No wonder the SNP and Scottish Government are in such a terrible mess. Straight Talking On Trans Issues ( August 01, 2022 ) Kemi Badenoch MP makes a cogent, powerful and passionate case for standing up to the zealotry which put gender ideology ahead of the care and safety of vulnerable young people at the Tavistock clinic in London. "Journalist Lucy Bannerman exposed the Tavistock’s ideology and practices only to have a mob picket her workplace with placards labelling her work “transphobic”. Online trolls routinely sent her death threats.  "Professor Kathleen Stock was hounded out of Sussex University by students. Maya Forsta

Skinnymalinky Longlegs vs 'Days of Girlhood'

  Dylan Mulvaney's new video 'Days of Girlhood' reminded me of this nonsense rhyme kids in Glasgow used to sing years ago. A Skinny Malink, by the way, is a painfully thin person. Skinny Malinky long legs Big banana feet  Went to the pictures but couldnae find a seat  When the picture started  Skinny Malinky farted  Skinny Malinky long legs  Big banana feet 'Days of Girlhood' is just as idiotic of course with a grown man like Dylan larping around, pretending to be a girl. The wait finally over. Days of Girlhood by Dylan Mulvaney is out now. I watched the full video and clipped the best part so you don’t have to. https://t.co/K67Xqf5DYB pic.twitter.com/SwOCFPB9mV — Storm (@stormrobinson) March 13, 2024

Nazis, Laughter and Gender Woo

Image
I’ll save you the time Nancy, the basic message is “everyone I don’t like is a Nazi” and, much like you, she has nothing to say about blocking puberty in vulnerable kids or placing massive great male rapists in female prisons. You’ll love it. https://t.co/V8NzJWZkNh — Dennis Noel Kavanagh (@Jebadoo2) March 19, 2024 I doubt I'll bother reading Judith Butler's new book, but I did enjoy Dennis Noel Kavanagh's pithy summary of its essential message - 'everyone I don't like is a Nazi'. Now that made me laugh.  

Weekends in Madrid

Image
I've taken a break from social media over the past few days during a trip to Madrid which culminated in a visit to the Civitas Metropolitano stadium for the match between Atlétco Madrid vs Barcelona. Barca won a well deserved 0-3 victory after a bright star by the home team, but setting the result aside Atlético have a magnificent stadium and great transport links for getting supporters to and from the city centre. A stadium tour is also well worth doing - very interesting and informative as well and slick and professional.

The Smirk Should Go!

So much for Humza Yousaf's declaration that the matter was at an end. Holyrood bosses find Michael Matheson broke rule on "improper use" of parliamentary expenses Michael Matheson breached MSP's code of conduct https://t.co/txO0LD93A6 — Tom Gordon (@HTScotPol) March 14, 2024 So the smirk has been well and truly wiped from Michael Matheson's face with the news that the former SNP health secretary did indeed break the MSP's code of conduct. Now this seemed obvious to pretty much everyone except the SNP leader Humza Yousaf who unwisely defended his colleague for months. Surely Matheson must resign as the SNP MSP for Falkirk West - he has zero credibility after denying everything and clinging on for all this time? Such a pity the Scottish Parliament does not have a right of recall over MSPs even though the House of Commons does have such a power over Westminster MPs.   The Smirk Has Gone! ( February 08, 2024 ) So yet another chapter ends in the tawdry life of
