@nickwallis I’m a Brownie leader. I think the majority of the grassroots leaders think the whole trans thing is ridiculous and are relieved the Supreme Court has ruled for common sense

timesofisrael.com/idf-chief-sett… Yehuda Sherman, 18, was killed in a suspected terrorist car-ramming attack in the “West Bank” yesterday. Nothing, however, can excuse the appalling “revenge attacks” by a minority of Jewish residents of these territories. There were previous rampages over the past few days. These have been going on far too long, they are a terrible moral stain on Israel and must be stopped.

Unbelievable. Women shouldn’t be expected to put up with the misogyny of this larping bloke being appointed parliamentary engagement officer as an endometriosis rep. Are they trolling us? thetimes.com/article/fc4f93…

The novelist Amanda Craig has criticised the appointment of Steph Richards as an endometriosis representative, given that he is a man. "A spokesperson for the charity said: “It affects people of all genders, including trans men, non-binary, and intersex individuals.” Well, trans men are women, and presumably only non-binary women and women with DSDs can have endometriosis. thetimes.com/article/fc4f93…

As a staunch Zionist, let me say without hesitation, arrest these criminals and throw the book at them. Violent tribalism should never be accepted. If we're going to have peace in the region, we can't let extremists control the narrative through acts of terror.

In Margate. My cheeks are red. I am shaking. I popped into an exhibition that turned out to be the insane fever dream of an artist called Matthew Collins: ‘Drawings Against Genocide.’ The exhibition is described as ‘drawings… raising consciousness about hell…. Israel is the pure encapsulation of it. Zionism is this terror state’s ruling ideology.’ Shocked by the use of Nazi imagery - the room is full of the Star of David pasted around figures meant to be Israelis and the Jewish ‘lobby’ spewing blood, to say nothing of blonde yummy mummies wearing ‘globalise the intifada’ shirts, I spoke to the artist to share my reaction as a Jewish person. He was instantly aggressive. As soon as I started to say I was shocked and threatened by what I was seeing because it was Nazi imagery, the artist started yelling at me that I didn’t mean anything I was saying. Anytime I tried to speak (calmly) he said: ‘you don’t mean any of what you said, you’re just repeating ‘hasbarah talking points’ because ‘you’re defending a genocide’. On and on he yelled, in my face. I said: ‘if I was a Black person…’ but couldn’t finish the sentence because: ‘you’re not are you?’ On the Nazi ideology point he said: ‘yeah. Why do you think it’s there. Israel are the Nazis’. His breath was disgusting. The crowd began booing and closing in around me, making to shoe me out. I said: ‘fine, get the Jew out’ and he yelled more across the room at me, ‘repeatedly jeering ‘call the police, go ahead, call the police’. I said I would, and the community security trust, which features as a devil in his exhibition. This was met with even more jeering. ‘Yeah, call the CST’ was the last I heard before leaving. Someone snapped pictures of me while I was being shouted at. Short video shows the artist. The longer video, of our final almost surreally disgusting exchange, didn’t record.

This morning, @BBCNews eulogising their ‘beloved’ colleague Jenni Murray, while slyly insinuating she left Women’s Hour in 2020 for health reasons. Here’s Jenni in her own words, exposing the truth those misogynist bastards refuse to admit. dailymail.co.uk/debate/article…

Was told outright in a BBC training session that Jenni Murray ‘had been silenced’. A travesty. She was terrific.

Today prog has just told us we will hear a tribute to Jenni Murray from Harriet Harman. Might have been better to get someone to pay tribute who actually stuck up for her after she was isolated for her view that men should not be able to identify into women's spaces and sports.

@BBCBreaking How will Woman's Hour honour her, do you think? On recent experience, probably by having a drag queen, a convicted male sex offender and a sociologist who "transitioned" at 62, to talk about themselves and how in touch they are with the female experience

@JournalismSEEN When I was interviewed on Woman’s Hour about my book on Mumsnet I was told that another presenter had to interview me because Jenni wasn’t allowed to discuss these issues.

Any one in Herts who wants to be a claimant in this JR let us know!
