Official documents have revealed that Scotland’s former first minister attempted to get his family moved “nearer the front of the queue” as his parents-in-law sought refuge in neighbouring Egypt before flying home to Scotland https://t.co/ffAPnDuoX2 — The Times and The Sunday Times Scotland (@timesscotland) September 30, 2024 I'll be interested to hear Humza Yousaf's answer to claims that he broke the ministerial code in trying to help his family members flee Gaza - because the rules are crystal clear:   2 Integrity Holders of public office must avoid placing themselves under any obligation to people or organisations that might try inappropriately to influence them in their work. They should not act or take decisions in order to gain financial or other material benefits for themselves, their family, or their friends. They must declare and resolve any interests and relationships. Here's a timely reminder of the 'Nolan principles' which apply the all holders of public...

Always keep receipts. https://t.co/jrKYdE1mmw pic.twitter.com/L01YxPHOLY — Helen Staniland (@helenstaniland) September 29, 2024 That 'thing that never happens', ie dangerous predatory men self-identifying as women, just happened again - with the news that a trans-identified male, Alexander 'Lexi' Seckler, is a convicted rapist who opposed female only spaces.  

“I wish God hadn’t made me a girl, for we’ve become so unfortunate. I regret being born a girl; we are valued less than animals, who enjoy more freedom than we do,” says an Afghan girl living under the Taliban. pic.twitter.com/o3yaQ1Npft — Habib Khan (@HabibKhanT) September 29, 2024 Now here’s a good example of a culture - an anti-women, fundamentalist, Islamist culture - which all reasonable people, women and men, ought to oppose! Not all cultures are equal, of course. 

People always say that Israel has a right to defend itself, and when they do, they object to it. pic.twitter.com/w7YiWEkGZu — Bill Maher (@billmaher) September 26, 2024 Bill Maher gets to grips with the issues underpinning the conflict in the Middle East - Islamists are committed to a 'one state solution' and the destruction of Israel  

“the reality is that as soon as you call a man a ‘she’, you are on a slippery slope downwards that takes you to a place where we are now”. My ⁦ @HolyroodDaily ⁩ column along with righteous fury on behalf of rape victims everywhere. https://t.co/xAR8aVqxtO — mandy rhodes (@holyroodmandy) September 29, 2024 Now here's a headline which puts 17 years of SNP rule into context - rape victims bullied by the political establishment:   "Rape victims have been violated by the very services set up to support them" Sturgeon & Co have turned Scotland into a laughing stock  

"Jessica" tried to join a lesbian Facebook group...but couldn't because he's a Man... He's "pretty pissed off about it".....😒 pic.twitter.com/k4gvrMvWcL — Jonny Bell (@Jonnywsbell) September 28, 2024 Germaine Greer has the best possible response to this man who says he is a lesbian? "Just because you lop off your penis and then wear a dress doesn't make you a woman. "I could ask my doctor to give me long ears and liver spots and then put on a brown coat -  but that doesn't make me a cocker spaniel."  

Lady with a neckerchief, "I'm getting a bit fed up of and sick to death of hearing of Israel's right to defend itself" #BBCQT "What Israel is doing is barbaric, it is not defending itself.. These Palestinians who have no way of stopping these bombs coming over.. It's obscene… pic.twitter.com/0LsDSljjXL — Farrukh (@implausibleblog) September 26, 2024 The truth is that were it not for Hamas and the cold blooded murders, rapes and kidnappings by Palestinian fanatics on October 7 there would be no war in Gaza - and no rockets being fired by Hezbollah into northern Israel! 

How interesting that the Leeds Palestine Solidarity campaign seems to have so much in common with the fascist outlook of Hezbollah and the Islamist Jew-haters in Lebanon.  More Everyday Antisemitism - Leeds ( April 10, 2024 ) The Palestine Solidarity Campaign in Leeds seems to be a breeding ground for ugly, virulent Jew-hate!

Hassan Nasrallah, leader of the Islamist Hezbollah group (Lebanon's answer to Hamas) has a message for gays and lesbians - you shall be killed by order of Sharia law along with any married folks who commit adultery.  Nice chap.  

Posters of the hostages in Central Prague, Czechia. Unlike in major western cities, here not even one of the photos has been damaged, graffitied, or vandalised in any way. 🇨🇿🇮🇱 pic.twitter.com/wjkr99tapj — Visegrád 24 (@visegrad24) September 27, 2024 Respect to the Czechs! The path to peace lies in freeing all the hostages, giving up terrorism and ending the war in Gaza.     

And as I told you, there is no comparison between the two wars… so your attempt to conflate them to suit your virulently anti-Israel agenda is very disingenuous.. https://t.co/m2A5IdOONC — Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) September 27, 2024 Piers Morgan is quite right and Mehdi Hasan is wrong - the truth is  that were it not for Hamas and the cold blooded murders, rapes and kidnappings committed by Palestinian extremists on October 7 there would be no war in Gaza!

EXC: SNP Government national care service Bill in deep peril after council leaders vote to withdraw support. Leaders voted 18-14 to walk away. https://t.co/By1MEaGYpa https://t.co/By1MEaGYpa — Paul Hutcheon (@paulhutcheon) September 27, 2024 Another grandiose SNP scheme for a 'national care service' is falling apart as Scotland's council leaders walk away. Instead of banging on about 'Indy' all the time, the SNP should would be better advised to get the basics right!       

A child who identifies as a wolf in a Scottish school is in the news and being discussed on #BBCAntisocial https://t.co/III1cyPQ9x — For Women Scotland (@ForWomenScot) September 27, 2024 For Women Scotland (FWS) highlight an astonishing news report on the BBC regarding a child in a Scottish school who identities as a wolf. Why does anyone takes this self-ID nonsense seriously?

6’3 Will Ferrell doesn’t understand why cross dressing men are meant to be threatening to him 🙄 Meanwhile cross dressing men continue to commit acts of MVAWG even after finding the lazy feelz https://t.co/pqQT0glNWZ pic.twitter.com/S50w9X3KVw — Le_Sorelle_Arduino KPSS (@Sorelle_Arduino) September 26, 2024 Will Ferrell is not an incarcerated woman who has to bunk with a rapist. He’s not a 14 year old girl who has to share her school bathroom with boys. He’s not a female athlete. He’s a rich, out of touch man. pic.twitter.com/6peovUabMn — Rachel Twigg (@RachelTwigg17) September 27, 2024 Actor/comedian Will Ferrell has to win 'Mansplainer of the Week' for pretending not to understand why women believe that single sex spaces are vital for their dignity, safety and security. 

Hannah Barnes has won no less than four awards from the Medical Journalists Association (MJA) in recognition of her outstanding contribution to health journalism. Hannah's book 'Time To Think' tells the story of the collapse of the Tavistock's gender identity service for children.  The service has since been closed down over concerns for the safety and welfare of children and young people. Time To Think ( June 02, 2023 ) Trans ideology is highly controversial and hotly contested which is why gender ID services (GIDS) at the Tavistock came in for such fierce criticism from the independent Cass review. The service has been closed down over concerns for the  safety and welfare of children and young people. Hannah Barnes book 'Time To Think' tells the full shocking story.  

Journalist Hannah Barnes is attacked for exposing furtive goings on inside the BMA over the Cass Review, but I'll bet the vast majority of doctors support Dr Hillary Cass and strongly oppose self-ID and transgender ideology.   Children Failed - By Cod Science, Quack Medicine and Trans Warriors (April 10, 2024) The Cass Review of gender services concludes that a field of medicine focused on enabling children to change gender has been built on 'shaky foundations'.   In her final report Dr Cass endorses a ­fundamental shift away from medical intervention and an 'affirmative approach' to care - in favour of a model which addresses other mental health problems children may have. NHS review rejects puberty blockers for gender transition in children The report from Dr Hilary Cass found ‘no good evidence’ for giving transitioning drugs https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/cass-review-report-nhs-gender-identity-puberty-blockers-dfg3rz7bc  

NEW: The British Medical Association (BMA) has reversed its decision to call for a pause in implementing the recommendations of the Cass Review. It follows criticism by more than 1,500 senior drs and BMA members. READ: https://t.co/joipR0I5OU — Hannah Barnes (@hannahsbee) September 27, 2024 The damage to the BMA's public reputation has forced the doctors' trade union into a screeching U-turn after its ludicrous decision to attack the Cass Review and its ban on puberty blockers.   Well done Hannah Barnes!   BMA - In The Spotlight! ( July 18, 2024 ) Journalist Hannah Barnes is attacked for exposing furtive goings on inside the BMA over the Cass Review, but I'll bet the vast majority of doctors support Dr Hillary Cass and strongly oppose self-ID and transgender ideology.   Children Failed - By Cod Science, Quack Medicine and Trans Warriors (April 10, 2024) The Cass Review of gender services concludes that a field of medicine focused on enabling children to change gender has...
