More on the betrayal of the Darlington nurses by their union. Joanna Williams at Spiked: This is clearly a victory for common sense. But it is worth asking why the eight women had to bring this case in the first place. The legal proceedings required time, effort and expense, as well as exacting a huge…

The managers at the Epsom and St Helier Hospitals NHS Trust have finally realised that it doesn’t look good, taking the side of a convicted trans paedophile who attacked and racially abused a nurse after she refused to use his precious female pronouns. A nurse threatened with the sack after she “misgendered” a transgender paedophile…

Samuel J Hyde, a couple of months back: The young people who chant for intifada and denounce Zionism with quasi-religious conviction do not believe themselves ignorant. They think themselves enlightened. The slogans that saturate social platforms – settler colonialism, decolonization, and the genocide libel – did not originate in the fevered minds of the naïve…

Suzanne Moore in the Telegraph on the Darlington nurses, confronted by a cross-dressing man in the women’s changing room: As you might expect, they turned to their union. One of them had been paying subs to Unison for 35 years. The response was not to side with the nurses, or even hear their case, but…

Full text: Very little media coverage of this, but here’s footage of a march in London today in support of the Iranian protesters and against the Islamic-fundamentalist cavemen holding their country to ransom. Packed with Iranian exiles and secularists, alongside English, US, and Israeli flags. Conspicuously absent were the Muslim activists and agitators who have…
