Standing for election is a big decision. I may not agree with every candidate who calls to the door but they deserve to met with respect. Conversation ensues and maybe minds are changed in either direction. Best of luck to Jose and all those who take the plunge.

A win for the Netherlands!!!

'Arguably, the hate-speech bill is guilty of breaching that sacred partition too. Gardaí have no more right to turn up at the door to police our opinions than protesters do.'

A look at the misinformation being spread about the Cass Review. Well worth a listen for anyone concerned about misinformation or interested in how poor research was discriminatory against gender distressed children who were given a lower quality of care: bbc.co.uk/programmes/p0h…

A women's health policy that doesn't know what a woman is. In good company with @nwci
