The Canadian Paediatric Society just appointed a DEI pro-transing-kids activist as its incoming president. The total refusal in the medical world here to face up to this scandal is an astonishing thing to witness. Just an army of True Believers steadfastly marching forward on their ideological quest, convinced that the rest of the world will catch up. Total certainty that Canada is superior and we just need to carry on being the world leaders and eventually everyone else will get over their transphobic bigotry and realise chopping body parts off healthy kids is ethical and progressive. I’m truly in awe of their total ignorance. And frankly disgusted.

The BBC’s failure to cover the GIDS scandal has been a serious dereliction of its public duty. After resigning as a governor of the Tavistock, I was involved behind the scenes in the 2019 Panorama programme on GIDS. The producer warned me I might be disappointed the programme would expose only one part of the scandal, not the whole story. That warning told me everything I needed to know about the BBC’s problem with impartiality on this issue. When Sue Evans and Keira Bell won the first judicial review, there was no serious follow-up from the BBC News, Woman’s Hour, or other major outlets. Nor was there adequate coverage of one of the most important findings of the Cass Review: the poor quality of the evidence base behind medical interventions for children and adolescents with gender distress. Instead, the BBC repeatedly broadcast positive stories about transition while failing to investigate the harms, uncertainties, and institutional failures surrounding this field. Sue and I have seen some of the casualties. Parents have been badly let down by professional bodies that lacked the courage or independence to challenge the affirmative model none of which received the scrutiny a public broadcaster exists to provide. With honourable exceptions in Newsnight and the Today programme, the BBC has failed young people, failed parents, and failed in its most basic public duty.

Arbel Yehoud was sexually assaulted by terrorists almost every single day during her 482 days of captivity with Palestinian Islamic Jihad. Romi Gonen was raped by four different men on separate occasions during her captivity in Gaza, including a “nurse” who was supposed to care for her wounds. Sasha Troufanov said that his PIJ captor repeatedly tried to force him to perform a sexual act on himself. He was filmed while showering. Alon Ohel was sexually abused by his captor while showering. Guy Gilboa Dalal said his Hamas captor sexually assaulted him after a shower, holding a gun to his head and a knife to his throat. Amit Soussana was sexually assaulted by her captor while held hostage. Dafna Elyakim, 15, said her captor touched her constantly and told her she would stay in Gaza to marry him and have his children. Rom Braslavski revealed that PIJ terrorists sexually abused and humiliated him. Aviva Siegel told the UN that she saw a young girl in captivity crying after her captor followed her into the bathroom and forced her to perform oral sex. Ilana Gritzewsky woke up on October 7 in Gaza, half-naked, her breasts exposed and her pants pulled down, surrounded by seven terrorists. Agam Goldstein-Almog testified that she witnessed another hostage being forced at gunpoint to touch, and be touched by her captor. These are only the stories we know. Hundreds more will never be heard, because most of Hamas's rape victims were murdered. On October 7, countless bodies were found without underwear, with mutilated genitalia, or with broken pelvises. Several Nova survivors also testified that they heard terrorists gang-raping women and men during the massacre. How many more testimonies do you need to believe that Hamas and PIJ used rape as a weapon of war?

While Trump negotiates a deal with the Islamic Republic, a deal with zero human rights clauses, regime is hanging people in silence. Today they hanged another innocent Iranian. Mojtaba Kian was arrested, tried, and executed in less than 50 days. All of it happened under a 13-week internet blackout the longest state-imposed digital blackout in human history. No witnesses. No international pressure. No chance for his family to scream for help. You cannot make peace with a regime that executes their own people faster than the world can count them. None of the U.S. presidents included human rights as a central condition in their nuclear deals with the Islamic Republic. That omission gave the regime power, money, legitimacy, and time while the Iranian people paid the price. 💔

A 24 year old man has been found with 4 human embryos in his luggage and arrested in the occupied territory of Northern Cyprus. The embryos came from an IVF clinic operating illegally and were reportedly heading for Mexico. knews.kathimerini.com.cy/en/news/man-ar…

A deep dive into what is going on at the Welsh Gender Service. Are Welsh people three times more likely to be trans than the UK as a whole? Is WGS leading the way? Or is it causing harm? genderblog.net/welsh-gender-s…

@JonnyWorst @ForWomenScot @RoryStewartUK In my experience, men who believe they should have absolute rights of entry to female-only spaces behave like children. Like children, they have to learn to accept 'no'. For a long time I tried to soften it, but I now think this is counter-productive. The answer is no. No.

On this day in 2014, an antisemitic Islamist terrorist attack at the Jewish Museum of Belgium in Brussels claimed the lives of four innocent people. Emmanuel Riva Miriam Riva Dominique Sabrier Alexandre Strens Two men were arrested: Mehdi Nemmouche, a 29-year-old French national, and Nacer Bendrer, who was accused of being an accomplice. The former was found guilty of four terrorist murders and issued a life sentence, whilst the latter was found guilty of being the co-author, and was sentenced to fifteen years. It emerged that Nemmouche had spent a year in Syria fighting for the Islamic State group, prior to carrying out the attack. May the memories of the victims be a blessing.

There were so many posts from the political left before war broke out on Feb 28th saying “you know who was not in the Epstein files? Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei”. To Iranians, shockingly ignorant posts. But they were correct. He wasn’t. Mainly because this kind of paedophilia, including child brides, is not only legally sanctioned, it is wholly endorsed and even encouraged inside the Islamic Republic of Iran. There are no legal protections for underage girls. Mullahs and others can abuse them with absolute impunity. So where is the outrage from the west? As if the stoney silence wasn’t bad enough, there is also now a warped view developing of what’s going on inside Iran that “all is back to normal”. Today is day 82 of a regime imposed internet blackout. Rest assured it is anything but normal. It is beyond shameful how the western media is turning its gaze away from what’s happening inside Iran regarding how the regime is abusing its citizens. Please watch this. Well said @NimaYamini 👏

The BBC calls male murderers ‘women’. It interviews drag queens about how inflation affects the price of their stockings. It presents perverted ‘chestfeeding’ men as heroes. The Beeb may be beyond salvation, says Jo Bartosch buff.ly/My7eKRA

Richard Greene: "In conversations I've had with young people about their deep hatred of Israel here in Europe I've come up with some startling conclusions. 1. There seems to be a strong consensus that Israel should NOT have attacked back after the October 7 attacks on them. There are two reasons for this: a) No matter what, children do not deserve to die and if ANY response would kill innocent children, then it is immoral. b) That attacking back only perpetuates a potentially endless cycle of war. 2. When I ask the obvious follow-up question, "Well, what SHOULD Israel/Netanyahu have done?" the overwhelming, and immediate, answers have been, "I don't know but, definitely, not what they did!" 3. Most do not know that Hamas continued, virtually every day, to attack Israel AFTER October 7, and fired over 30,000 rockets into CIVILIAN areas of Israel. And when they were informed the answer was, "It doesn't matter". 4. The concept of self-defense and fighting to stop FUTURE attacks seems to be impossible for them to grasp. They reflexively default to "Retaliation", and that retaliation by a stronger army is someone inherently unfair, especially if it kills innocent children. 5. The extremely limited pre-frontal cortex operations continue. When informed of the horrific, barbaric actions of Hamas, and even their extremist goals to destroy Israel, and Jews, the almost unanimous and instant response is "Not all Palestinians are Hamas". Or, "The children Israel is killing are not Hamas". 6. The valid statement that what Israel did was NOT a "Genocide" is seen as incredibly technical, semantic, legal and insensitive. And almost useless against the emotional and incessantly repeated claims to the contrary. And, yes, innocent children were killed by Israel so it must, to them, be something as horrible as "genocide", or perhaps even worse. 7. Reminding people about the horrific actions against Muslims, or Christians, in the streets of Iran, in Yemen, in Somalia and so many other places is useless. It truly seems that the funny phrase, "No Jews, No News" is actually a thing. And double standards seem to be an inexorable part of that. 8. There is virtually zero understanding about the dangerous, extremist agenda of Islamists and Jihadists. In fact, at a tennis tournament I spoke with someone who actually works at The UN in Geneva and asked her whether it was true that people in Europe are increasingly uncomfortable with the growing influence, and terrorism from Muslims. She scolded me for even suggesting that any group can be generalized and said, boldly, that there are far more incidents of Right Wing Terrorism in Europe than from Muslims. The facts are that Islamic violent acts account for 41% and Right Wing only 5% in Europe. (Shocking, I know, that someone from The UN could be so clueless : ) Botton line: Attempting to even plant seeds of a different perspective with young "Free Palestine"/"Israel is Evil" believers is about as effective as trying to reason with hard-core MAGA Trump supporters. It's a cult and the virtue signaling and protests . . . and seeing those on social media - over and over and over again - has reinforced all of the above positions, no matter how inane or insane, to a very high degree. So, what to do? 1. Educate about the stated goals of Islamism and Jihadism Virtually no one understands that a SIGNIFICANT percentage of those following Islamic teachings dream of and work towards a "Global Caliphate" where EVERYONE is Muslim. And virtually no one knows that the destruction of Israel, and the killing of all "infidels" is the stated goal of many Islamic groups, especially the "Twelver Shia" sect which is headquartered in Iran. 2. Go on offense The Woke Left and Woke Right and most young people around the world are happy to go on offense against Israel . . . and do it with almost every sentence. It's even become cool to say vicious things about an entire country. So, it is absolutely fair to no longer agree to be the punching bag for the world. Here are some suggestions . . . *"Why do you support Genocide?" Hamas and Hezbollah are actually committed, in writing, to the actual genocide of the Jewish people. *"Why do you support Gender Apartheid against women? You know that virtually every one of Israel's enemies - both entire countries and, of course, Hamas and Hezbollah, treat women VERY differently than men. Second, or even third class citizens or, as some Islamist Clerics say, like "cows". *Why don't you support Free Speech? *Why don't you support LGBTQ Rights? *Why don't you support Democracy? *Why don't you support Abortion Rights? (And did you know that Israel is the only place in the Middle East where women CAN get abortions legally . . . and that they even provide free abortions to Palestinian women who go there from Gaza?) *Why is it so important to you that The Muslim Messiah, "The Mahdi" return to Earth to save the Muslim people? (Please do some research on Twelver Shia Islam. THIS is the motivation for Iran to fund Hamas, Hezbollah, The Houthies and other proxies to destroy Israel. Not kidding. *Why didn't you protest against 40,000 INNOCENT Iranian protesters who were shot - point blank - in the streets of Iran FOR protesting? Do you hate young Iranian men and women?" facebook.com/richard.greene…

I’m still thinking about this. It’s great that this unduly lenient sentence is being reviewed BUT: 1. It should not take public outrage for this to happen in 2026; 2. The sentencing guidelines must be urgently reviewed; 3. Judge Nicholas Rowland must be removed. He chose to protect and praise serial rapists. No excuses. He must go.

Rape victims are often accused of adultery under Sharia law if they report being raped by married Muslim men. Here is a shocking example: A 13-year-old girl in Somalia was raped by a married Muslim man. Instead of punishing the rapist, an Islamic Sharia court sentenced the little girl to death. The Muslim rapist accused her of “seducing” him by appearing in public, and the court agreed — convicting her of adultery. Hundreds of Muslim men gathered to stone her to death as an offering to Allah. They laughed, cheered and shouted “Allahu Akbar” as she screamed in agony until her last breath. Not one man stepped forward to save the 13-year-old rape victim. Everyone in the village heard her cries for help before the execution. Instead of intervening, they tied her hands behind her back and chained her feet. The local imam directed the men to dig a hole and bury her up to her waist so she could not move or dodge the stones aimed at her head. For hours before and during the stoning she begged for mercy, looking toward her neighbors, her father, and every Muslim man taking part. Until her final breath she cried out, but no one rescued her. Of the hundreds of men present, none showed compassion. The participants gladly joined this Islamic act of worship, ignoring her pleas and rejoicing with “Allahu Akbar” while brutally killing her. This is not an isolated barbaric act. This is Sharia law in practice — where the victim is punished and the rapist protected if he is married. Not all cultures are equal. Some protect the innocent. Islam punishes the raped girl and calls it justice. The West keeps importing this ideology while pretending it is compatible with our values. It is not. Share this. The world must see the true face of Sharia and stop the denial.

Men are so terrifying that men who say they are women must be given sanctuary from them. But women who don’t want men in their lavatories are pearl-clutching bigots. Got that everyone?

A farmer dies in April 2026. His son inherits the farm. The farm has been in the family since 1847. The farm consists of: 300 acres of grazing pasture, a farmhouse built in 1892, a barn, a milking parlour, two tractors of varying ages, a Land Rover that runs about 70% of the time, and a herd of 180 Hereford-cross cattle. On paper, the farm is worth approximately £3.2 million. This is because land near him has been bought recently by a London hedge fund looking for carbon credits, which has dragged the comparable value of every field within forty miles upward to a number nobody local can justify. In cash, the farm produces a profit of about £28,000 a year in a good year. In a bad year it loses money. The son also works as a fencing contractor three days a week to keep the operation viable. The inheritance tax bill on a £3.2 million estate, even at the reduced 20% rate, comes to approximately £140,000 after the increased threshold is applied. The son does not have £140,000. The son has never had £140,000. The son has £4,200 in his current account and an overdraft. The son sells 60 acres to a developer to pay the tax. The developer puts solar panels on the 60 acres. The remaining herd cannot be sustained on the reduced land. The herd is sold. The barn becomes a holiday let. A different family eats Brazilian beef this Christmas without knowing why the price went up. The Treasury collects £140,000. The land never produces British food again.

Actually, Rory, we DID try to talk compromise 7/8 years ago. Stonewall etc called us bigots and screamed #nodebate. They wanted everything: the most dangerous rapists in women's prison, men in women's sport, cross dressing volunteers "looking after" 11 year old girls on Guide trips. We went to law because it was all that was left. They overreached and the line, which was always biology, had to be reaffirmed. Your "liberal" position is, in reality, still prioritising men. You could have listened back then too, but you and Campbell continue to speak over us and make assumptions. Would it be so difficult to invite a woman onto your podcast? Or are you scared you might have to learn something? Oh, and yes, there are always more important things than women's rights. Or, at least, that is what feminists have been told for decades. We have to force the issue because, otherwise, we are at the back of the queue.

We now know of at least eight cases in the last three years in which a senior Pride officer has turned out to be a paedophile. Most of these stories were ignored by BBC News, which has a Pride section which is entirely promotional

When the gender Ponzi scheme is pushed unequivocally and unashamedly from the top of Government because a father has stood by while his daughter destroys her life. And he cannot face his guilt.

A founder of Belfast Pride in Northern Ireland is a trans activist and former drag queen who recently died. Now, the director of the Belfast R—pe Crisis Centre says the activist was a s—xual predator who had previously pleaded guilty to procuring a girl to work as a prostitute. Tina McCombe, formerly Thomas A. McCombe, was announced to be deceased on May 10. After his death, his former counselor went public that he was "a s—xual predator and an exploiter of vulnerable young men and women." Pride organizations around the world have since deleted their glowing tributes. Former neighbors of McCombe claim that many children were traumatized by him because he would allegedly flash his genitals at them while dressed in women's clothing, among other disturbing allegations. Some LGBTQ+ activists have labeled the revelations as a “hit job” and expressed anger at the counselor for violating client confidentiality. ngocomment.com
