Males have a significant physical advantage over females. That is just science. No hormones or surgery can negate the advantage. #TruthIsNotACrime #TruthIsNotAHateCrime #FactIsNotHate #MenAreNotWomen #WomenAreNotMen

@AUK_Forum_Host The book Tim mentioned is:

Members of the choir ‘Singing Striders’ are pursuing legal action after they were barred from performing at the London Marathon by the charity Scope due to the gender-critical views of its founding member. Scope had invited the choir to cheer on runners at this year’s marathon, but rescinded the invitation days beforehand following anonymous complaints. Gender-critical beliefs are protected under the Equality Act 2010, yet those silenced or punished for holding such beliefs remain the single largest category of cases handled by the Free Speech Union. Scope told Ms Murray it was “concerned about your views because we don't agree with your views”. It also said her past comments conflicted with its “commitment to diversity and inclusion”. Ms Murray and three fellow choir members are now seeking damages and a formal apology. Read more below 👇

You drag your husband along to the Unite the Kingdom March just to escort you into the media enclosure… and somehow HE ends up 50ft tall on the big screens looking like he’s about to lead the charge for freedom while I’m tucked away behind the cameras 😂 Green beret. Serious face. Zero idea he’s now the face of the revolution. I only wanted a nice day out and some decent footage, not my husband becoming the accidental poster boy! The man went for moral support and stole the spotlight. Classic. #UTK #MyHusbandTheMascot #EscortDutyGoneWrong #SendHimHome

@LifeAt20MPH 100%

@JenKteach I don't like Nigel but if they're do it to him, they can do it to anyone. More importantly, changing a government but leaving the civil service untouched means we are only living under the illusion of democracy. We do not change figureheads. We change the whole bloody ship.

The UK Civil Service Code (statutory under the Constitutional Reform and Governance Act 2010) explicitly requires: ➡️Political impartiality: Civil servants must serve the government of the day "whatever its political persuasion" to the best of their ability, regardless of their personal beliefs. ➡️They must not allow personal political views to influence advice or actions. ➡️They must not act in ways determined by party political considerations. ➡️Senior civil servants face extra restrictions on political activity.

This is outrageous! You may not like Nigel or Reform, or Labour, or the Greens, or Advance, or Restore, or the Lib Dems or the Tories, or whoever.... BUT the CIVIL SERVICE has NO business dictating the ability of a government (of the electorates choosing) to run/not run our nation! Unelected bureaucrats openly declaring a democratically chosen government an “existential threat” and plotting to paralyse the country if voters dare to pick it, IS NOT industrial action. This is a direct assault on democracy.

AND YET.................. Whitehall officials are plotting to paralyse the Government with a sustained campaign of strikes if Nigel Farage wins the next election. The largest trade union for civil servants will this week vote on a motion calling for an 'industrial defence strategy' to sabotage a Farage administration, with workers ready to strike with minimal notice. Mr Farage has vowed to tackle 'institutional Left-wing bias' among the 'Blob' of the Civil Service, local authorities and schools if he forms the next government. But the motion being debated at the annual conference of the Public and Commercial Services Union (PCS), which has 170,000 members, suggests that he would be embroiled in an all-out war with Whitehall if he becomes Prime Minister. dailymail.com/news/article-1…

@LifeAt20MPH Times have changed, satire could now be considered a hate crime! What an absolute joke,.... or not!

@JenKteach The sad thing is, Spitting Image still around, but reduced to a Youtube channel that focuses on Trump. They recently got a lawsuit from the creators of Paddington Bear and had to take down most of their episodes because they depicted him as a Peruvian drug cartel member.

40 years ago, on the 17th May, 1986: "The Chicken Song" by Spitting Image reached No. 1 on the UK Official Singles Chart. The satirical British TV puppet show Spitting Image (then in its third series) released this novelty single in April 1986 on Virgin Records (catalogue SPIT1). It was a deliberate parody of mid-1980s summer holiday disco songs like Black Lace’s “Agadoo” and “Do the Conga,” with deliberately nonsensical, repetitive lyrics mocking the genre’s inanity. The song directly name-checked “those two wet gits with their girly curly hair” (referring to Black Lace). It debuted at No. 11 on the chart dated 10th May, 1986; but hit No. 1 on May 17 and held the top spot for three weeks (until early June), before dropping. It spent 12 weeks on the chart in total. It also reached No. 1 in Ireland and No. 49 in the Netherlands. Featured heavily in the Spitting Image series (played in sketches, hummed by puppets, even performed on a banjolele by a Pope John Paul II puppet). A longer “12 Hour Version” and “Celebrity Mega Mix” (with celebrity impressions) appeared on releases and the album Spit in Your Ear. B-sides included other show parodies like “(I’ve Never Met) A Nice South African.” The show’s puppets and songs often mocked celebrities, politics, and pop culture. Ironically, a song meant to ridicule cheesy novelty records became one itself, and a massive hit. A perfect slice of 1980s British satire that topped the charts by mocking exactly the kind of song it became. “Cluck cluck, chicken, cluck cluck...”

@SandN17 The most delicious biscuit in the world!!

@JenKteach Unsalted butter,caster sugar and plain flour. All you need for delicious shortbread😋

Today is #WorldBakingDay Nothing beats the smell of a proper British bake filling the kitchen! I’ve got my trusty Be-Ro book open (the one with the faded cover that’s been in the family for decades) and I’m channelling my amazing baker granny who taught me everything I know. xx You don’t need to be a fancy pastry chef to join in. Just a bag of flour, some butter, sugar, and a bit of British spirit! Baking has deep roots in the UK, by the Middle Ages it had already become a commercial trade with strict regulations on how bread was baked and sold. Fast-forward to 1843 and Birmingham chemist Alfred Bird (1811–1878) invented the world’s first baking powder, giving us all those lovely light sponges and cakes we love today. And during wartime rationing, British home bakers got incredibly creative, inventing “war cakes” using clever substitutions like applesauce instead of eggs and sugar. That’s the spirit of World Baking Day, created to spread the joy of baking to everyone, especially those who don’t bake very often or are just starting out. Here are some genuine British classics that always go down a treat: Victoria Sponge – the queen of cakes, proper jam and buttercream Scones with clotted cream and strawberry jam (Devon or Cornwall debate welcome!) Shortbread – melt-in-the-mouth perfection Lemon Drizzle – zesty, moist, and impossible to resist Rock Cakes or Gingerbread for that old-school touch Whether you’re knocking up a tray of fairy cakes with the kids, attempting a spotted dick, or just whipping up some scones for afternoon tea, today’s the day to get your pinny on and have a go. What are you baking today? Drop your classic below! #BritishBaking #BeRo #GrannyRecipes
