Well Said, Joanna Cherry - Fatuous Hyperbole From Sturgeon

Joanna Cherry sets the record straight with her response to Nicola Sturgeon's weasel words on the UK Supreme Court judgement which affirmed biological sex as the foundation stone of equality law.

No rights have been taken away from anyone - no one's lives are 'unliveable' although lots of women have been bullied and victimised for rejecting the nonsense of self-ID and demanding that men stay out of their single sex spaces.   

"To say that The Supreme Court judgment means we are 'at risk of making the lives of trans people almost unliveable' is the sort of fatuous hyperbole that she has indulged in in relation to these issues from the outset and it is deeply irresponsible for any politician to so misrepresent the judgment."

"It’s a simply not true to say that all opinions were taken account of in this debate. She branded the views of those of us who pointed out the implications for the rights of women, including lesbians, as 'not valid' and she called us transphobes bigots, racists and homophobes. 

"Her snide suggestion that the Supreme Court judgement has stymied the Misogyny Bill has no basis in fact unless of course she is referring to the fact that misogyny was going to be defined as including hatred against men. She seems also to be forgetting that it was her Government that prevented sex being included as a protected characteristic in the Hate Crime Bill.

"Nicola Sturgeon is trying to rewrite history in relation to these matters, but those of us who fought her every inch of the way in her attack on the rights of women and LGB people will not let her do so."

Well said, Joanna Cherry.

Kentucky Fried Seagull

Hugh Fearnley Whitingstall is one of my favourite - and endearingly bonkers - TV chefs. The River Cottage chef has a some imaginative ideas for adding seagulls to the national diet - including a recipe for Kentucky Fried Seagull - would you believe. Here's what HFW has to say on the subjecy -  I think I'll contact Hugh - and ask if he'll join the TAPAS campaign. "Vermin with wings? Chicken of the sea? Or just an opportunity missed?" "First and foremost, before we all go on a mad seagull killing frenzy. In the U.K it is against the law to kill seagulls or interfere with their nests under the countryside and wildlife act. Some Councils are allowed to cull them however, and usually do this by either poisoning or shooting them. How to catch your seagull. Remember this is against the law in the U.K. I don't want the Men in Blue knocking at the door because someone said that Foodimum told them it was okay to catch and eat seagulls. It isn...
