Dr Rachel Saunders Good Law Project Absolutely. The legal basis for the cases is complete crap. They do not tell the truth to the people who give them money. They do not disclose their advice on the merits. Any organisation that litigated on that basis with public money would end up with people in jail.

1./ 🧵Race Grift in our Museums. A perfect example of how museums are now misrepresenting our history is an exhibition at the Hunterian University of Glasgow. 'Curating Discomfort' aims to "dismantle white supremacy" at Scotland's oldest public museum. Here's why it's total BS. 👉 1/of 9

Journalists I am begging you. Stop saying people are “banned” when what you really mean is “subject to the exact same rules as everyone else”. For example, “no men in the women’s game.” This is no more a “ban” than saying “no adults in the under 18s”! bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

This type of unlawful discrimination (undertaken, no doubt by people who think themselves to be ethical and good) is a shocking part of modern life. It (and similar types of cancellation, regardless of who it is for or against) needs stamping out immediately

“At this rate, grading will soon take the form of interpretive dance – a fitting symbol for a system that, in closing the awarding gap, opens the abyss.”

Of course he's at University of Stirling! We're happy to correct him - can the uni pass it on? The guidance IS NOT ABOUT CLOTHES. It says that a bloke in a dress cannot go into the women's because we have eyes & can see he's a man. He's free to cross-dress without incident in the men's.

There are no "competing views" on what the law means. There is the Supreme Court view, and that is the law. The government is being utterly disingenuous because it's too scared of activists to defend women's established legal protections to single-sex services and sports.

Aja gave a smart, comprehensive and impassioned answer to an wilfully naive question from David Aaronovitch. He has been playing this kind of faux-innocent game since the BBC scandal broke and if he can't bring himself to ingest and consider what Aja has said, I think we're all best

In the field of mental health, it seems to me that diagnosis is often just a playback of the symptoms. You feel depressed? You’ve got “depression”. You feel anxious? You’ve got “anxiety”. You feel you have issues with your gender? You’ve got “gender dysphoria”. This makes me

There is little evidence to support the practice of throwing women in the sea to see if they are witches. This is why I am pleased to announce that King’s College London will be leading a major new clinical trial in this vital area.

On this assinine argument, women were first admitted to university in the UK the first time one was smuggled into an Oxbridge college for a shag, possibly as early as 1249. Stick a blue plaque on Bailliol, quick!

Regardless of the truth or falsity of the claim, given that Trump has never been convicted of corruption it isn't surprising the BBC declined to broadcast slander. This guy needs to grow up.

A special place in the annals of cowardy custard infamy goes to the 13 who did not want their names made public. The types who would have been keen Stasi informants.

This is the long & the short of it, with the emphasis on the short. If a student of mine proposed this as a design for evaluating the efficacy of a treatment, their proposal would fail.
