Yesterday I was wondering if there were any trade unions not in thrall to gender ideology. Well, certainly not the UCU. The University and College Union (UCU) today (Monday 26 May) overwhelmingly voted to stand with the trans community. Delegates attending the union's congress backed four motions (44,45,46,47) that committed the union to fight back…

The attacks on JK Rowling by Good Law Project buffoon Jolyon Maugham on social media (Bluesky and X) have now made it onto the pages of the Times – though they portray it as a feud when it's really all Jolyon throwing the insults and Rowling responding. And this. Maugham also posted on social media…

Is this really the best @UKLabour can do? No explanation given, no recognition that women have arranged annual leave/ help with caring responsibilities, no acknowledgement that local CLPs and Women's branches want to be represented in policy discussions. #WomensVoices #Lab2025 pic.twitter.com/GGAHuC10VS — Ann Henderson (@AnnDHenderson) May 26, 2025 https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js The postponement – aka cancellation –…

I posted about the cancellation of Klezmer band Oi Va Voi last week. Here's Nicole Lampert at the JC – Cancelled for klezmer, celebrated for terror: This is the tale of two bands.

From Seattle to Blackpool. On a similar theme – that belief in the biological reality of two sexes is a far-right ideology – here we are at the Fire Brigades Union annual conference. Delegates attending the annual conference of the Fire Brigades Union (FBU) in Blackpool this week will be asked to vote on an…

DMWOK – Don't Mess With Our Kids – “a religious group that promotes a two gender ideology.” I’m not sure if we hate the mainstream media enough?! ABC Seattle just covered #dontmesswithourkids (and police) being violently attacked by Antifa & Transtifa — they just called DMWOK “a religious group that promotes a two gender ideology.”…

This is shocking. From the Telegraph: Two trans patients a day are having their penises removed on the NHS, The Telegraph can reveal. So that would be men. "Trans patients" kind of prejudges the issue. Troubled men – or boys – who are under the delusion that having their penises removed would somehow be a good…

The case of the Jewish man collared by the Met for offending Hezbollah fans….Brendan O'Neill at the Spectator: If you cheer such an eliminationist group, such a vile Jew-hating outfit, then it is the duty of every good Brit to offend you. To mock you and ridicule you and say ‘beep, beep’ to piss you…

You assumed, perhaps, that the days of violent men being housed in women's prisons north of the border were over, post Isla Bryson. You should have a word with Jayney Sutherley. She had her release from jail delayed by more than two years because of accusations of transphobia by a man housed – for murder…

On North Korea's unfortunate new warship launch: The Daily NK view: North Korea’s public acknowledgment of a catastrophic destroyer launch failure this week offers a rare glimpse into both the regime’s naval ambitions and its technological limitations. When Kim Jong Un’s second 5,000-ton destroyer became unbalanced and punctured during its launch at Chongjin port, the…
