Goldfinch on teazel! 😍 Taken at the weekend at RSPB Ham Wall in Somerset. 😊🐦

It’s good that this clip is being seen and discussed. It allows people to weigh up the respective sides of the issue, and to evaluate the quality of arguments, the strength of evidence, and the extent to which each side relies on emotive and evidence-based arguments.

You know that terrible line of argument against SRY screening/sex testing that goes 'You're seeking to impose stereotypical notions of femininity!' It's nonsense, ofc, because being SRY-negative is not a 'notion of femininity', It's an extremely accurate criterion of sex.

Excellent letter in the Times today from Lord nigel biggar. Abortion up to birth is indeed a breath away from infanticide – quite literally. And to grant immunity from prosecution for such an act would have a bloody mass of unintended consequences (but by no means unforeseen).

"It should be clear to all men that women using female facilities have not consented for them to come in, and that they are likely to feel humiliated if they do."

This is a very important case with wide reaching implications. If Allison wins her case against Stonewall, the law will regard them as joint tortfeasors for going after her job. That could in principle bring a swift end to cancel culture.

It's a strange idea - that a low rate of 'bad things' happening to women in female spaces is evidence *against* the need for them.

This scene!!

Evidence begins on Wednesday in Newcastle See more details on the hearing and thank you to everyone who has stood with the nurses. They need your support now more than ever. christianconcern.com/ccpressrelease… dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1…

When I got arrested in 2017, one of the tweets shown to me as evidence was a picture of a bag of crisps. There was no secret meaning or innuendo. It was literally just a bag of crisps. “Full English Breakfast” flavour or something, IIRC.

6/ A further, as yet unaddressed, complication is the fact the NCHI transformed private police intelligence into something that could be disclosed on an enhanced DBS check. I believe this is still true, and the fact police still record NCHIs still means vexatious reports can harm

Terrific short video by Mark Goodacre on why the historical Jesus matters. Also, why I decided to write a historical Jesus book of my own Whispers of Revolution.

Police Metropolitan Police saying they are not going to investigate Non Crime Hate Incidents is smoke and mirrors. They don't investigate them they just record them. They investigated me and Graham and Helen for "crime".

Melani is back with a very important and beautiful message to women today. This is the You Are Not Alone Edition. These messages are different from her normal ones, but they are so, SO important and powerful. ❤️🙏 Please share, and pass this message on to women who need to

Thank you to all these brilliant & brave nurses. I support them 100%. No males in Female spaces under any circumstances, ever!

The discussion around NCHI is a distraction. The real evil remains the ‘victim’ based perception that mandates the recording of hate incidents AND crimes. A system now shown beyond doubt to be at the mercy of hijack by the mentally ill and the malicious, so long as they can claim

I came for the usual laughs but this time I got pathos, felt like an intruder but ended up with a lump in my throat.

Again, this is shameful — it’s absolutely the job of the House of Lords to scrutinise legislation, and it can reject legislation if it wants to. The Commons can use the Parliament Acts to pass this deadly legislation if they want to.

💯The solution to suffering at the end of life is proper investment in palliative care, rather than assisted suicide, according to Professor Nicola Ranger, General Secretary and Chief Executive of the Royal College of Nursing.
