A 15YO boy in Wellingborough has been charged with 22 horrific sex offences against 10 young girls between 2022 and 2025. The boy will appear at Wellingborough Youth Court on 23rd June. 3 in 4 teenage r-pists walk free - will he be one of them? Horrific times.

‘Trans ideology is easy to slide into..It does not upend old-fashioned sexism so much as repackage it. It asks for no uncomfortable introspection about the stereotypes we collude in. On the contrary, it rewards their enthusiastic performance’ @jo_bartosch fairerdisputations.org/the-upside-of-…

‘Transgender taxpayers have been given lifetime access to an HMRC hotline reserved for MPs and members of the Royal family. ‘HMRC insisted the policy was necessary because the records of transgender people required “greater protection” to ensure confidentiality under equality laws’ @Telegraph It’s those who have a GRC. The GRA says that no one is allowed to share GRC status info if it’s acquired in a professional capacity. However it doesn’t say it can’t be shared for professional purposes - for example between tax advisers. ‘People who legally change their gender with a Gender Recognition Certificate, an official document confirming their transition, have their records restricted by the tax service – meaning only a select few officials can access them. ‘They are then told to contact the hotline PD1 ‘questions about your tax or National Insurance’ as outlined in guidance published on HMRC’s website. ..’Transgender people who claim benefits or are in receipt of the state pension also have their queries handled by a specialist team at the Department for Work and Pensions.’ ‘HMRC gives trans people access to VIP hotline’ telegraph.co.uk/money/consumer…

The data: * Almost all changing room-related sexual assaults, voyeurism and harassment (90%) take place in mixed-sex facilities. * Most victims are female. * Two men alone were responsible for filming 5,000 young women getting undressed in mixed-sex changing rooms in London and Surrey. This kind of thing also happens when leisure centres do not provide properly single-sex changing rooms: x.com/journalismseen…

When EDI managers enforce ideological language requirements on researchers, both academic freedom and science suffer.
Caroline Struthers@Healthy_Control

@justsay_mother @HRA_Latest @ProfAliceS @DrKarleenG @IncitefulPod They have no justification for changing the wording around pregnancy in all the HRA official guidance which influences all UK researchers When the @HRA_Latest says "jump" researchers say "how high?". There was no equality impact assessment, yet this HRA EDI diktat was issued

➡️ He locked himself in their rooms and filmed the abuse ⚠️ A Kent care worker who filmed himself sexually abusing two elderly women with dementia has been jailed. Depraved David Jones, 53, worked the nightshift at the care home and targeted highly vulnerable female residents. He was only caught after a colleague became suspicious about the amount of time he was spending alone with them in their rooms. The colleague followed Jones to the victims' room and caught Jones abusing the woman with his trousers down. A search of Jones' phone revealed the full scale of his horrific crimes against the women and it also contained sickening abuse images of children. A "plethora" of photos of other suspected care home victims have yet to be identified. 😫 💔One of the victims was non-verbal and unable to say what he did to her. The devastated family of another said they had noticed "fear in her eyes", a "rapid deterioration in her health" and even broken bones. Care home bosses had dismissed their concerns and insisted they was simply symptoms of advancing dementia. The families blame the managers for not fully investigating their concerns and fear that this isn't an isolated incident. 📢They have urged "all managers of care homes across the country to urgently revisit safeguarding protocols to prevent sick individuals taking advantage of residents' vulnerabilities in this way". Judge Simon James called Jones' crimes "as abhorrent a breach of trust as is possible to imagine". Due to the high vulnerability and mental and physical impairment of the victims he targeted, it's unlikely we'll ever know the full extent of Jones' offending over the years. Women in the last stages of life, confused and frightened, trapped alone with this monstrous man. 🚫They should NEVER have been exposed to such risk. Jones was jailed for 15 years with 4 on licence. He's set to serve it in full unless a parole board decide he is safe to be released after 10 years. Not good enough. He should never be free. A disgusting, despicable, monster of a man. I wish him the very, very worst.

On 21st October 2025, the CEO of the EHRC wrote to Stonewall seeking formal assurance that its activities align with a correct understanding of the law. After receiving no response by mid-Nov 2025, the Board agreed to send a second letter with a short deadline, noting that they would consider further action if Stonewall failed to comply. On 18th December the CEO and Chair met with the CEO of Stonewall. On 21st Jan 2026, a second letter was sent requesting a response to the original compliance inquiry. On 25th March 2026, the EHRC Board closed the action item on seeking this assurance from Stonewall. Its not clear what if any assurance was received.
Maya Forstater@MForstater

This is a bizarre write-up by @stonewalluk - suggesting the UK Supreme Court judgment was all about public boards in Scotland and that it was limited in scope. Why would framing positive action schemes for women as having sex-based criteria lead "to a freezing of such schemes". What strange vague, passive language. What are they talking about? And why no celebration of the protection for lesbian associations, and associations of gay men?

In France, lawyer Caroline Valentin is fighting to protect a 22-year-old daughter (with severe psychiatric problems) from an unnecessary double mastectomy. After Velentin reminded the surgeon about informed consent, the hospital cancelled the operation. The mother has now launched legal proceedings — verdict still pending. Predictably, the trans activist outlet Problematik is alleging “intimidation” and “harassment”. Thankfully, Le Point let the lawyer respond. This is where we are: trying to safeguard vulnerable young people is now labelled “attacks on trans healthcare”.

Oh, the irony of the Today Programme doing an item on the idea of ‘himpathy’ this morning. When it comes to prioritising men who want to use women’s toilets over women’s safety, privacy and dignity, the Today Programme is ‘himpathy’ in action 😒
Sonia Sodha@soniasodha

It’s extraordinary that the BBC consistently platforms men upset they have to use gender neutral toilets instead of women’s toilets over the female rape survivors who have been unable to access a female-only support group, in relation to the EHRC guidance. It says it all, really.
