“In the last year of the Conservative Government alone, 115 prisoners were released in error, including a series of serious offenders.

“At no point did this fact ever make the front pages of British newspapers, or lead news bulletins on the BBC.”

Tees Valley mayor Lord (Ben) Houchen promised renewal. Instead, Britain’s biggest regeneration project has turned into a taxpayer-funded scandal - enriching a few local businessmen while leaving public bodies on the brink.

Or to put it another way, both Nigel Farage and Zack Polanski will have reasons to celebrate if Labour introduce an ultra-hardline asylum policy modelled on an unpopular Danish government which is allied with the centre-right. Polanski will get more Lab recruits, and that increases Farage's lead.

2️⃣The BBC isn't alone in referring to male criminals as women, or using female pronouns to describe them, when they claim to have a female "gender identity".
Women rarely commit violent or sexual crimes, so this practice gives a totally false impression.
No one can change sex, despite appearances.

1️⃣Wouldn't normally share anything from GB news, but listening to Peter talking BS, I had to.
This was because BBC News is accused of not making the sex of criminal perpetrators or sports people clear when they claim to have a gender identity, so confusing the audience.

Curious when you provide a link to information someone - a US journalist - asks for they block you for it. It was about someone else insisting LGB Alliance members are 80% hetero so perhaps it didn’t fit the narrative. Maybe me rounding up to 80% from 79% LGB didn’t help… 🤷🏻‍♀️

The professor referred to ‘pregnant women’ whereas her script changed it to ‘pregnant people’. The BBC needs to explain why a group of internal staff are allowed to twist the narrative. We can all see what they are trying to normalise.
BBC: “It is the duty of presenters to be careful to remain neutral around such contentious subjects,”

But the phrase ‘pregnant people’ is itself not neutral, perhaps to avoid the appearance of bias the BBC should just stick to facts, only women get pregnant.

Whatever your political persuasion, whatever your ethical boundaries, surely there is point beyond which the sheer misery inflicted upon ordinary people by exploitative bastards like Andrew Milne should make us question how society ought to protect itself from such people.
Shocking article in the Sheffield Tribune. A solicitor, Andrew Milne, buying up freeholds of houses and then making (false) threats to the leaseholders to bully them into buying the freehold at a huge premium.

This is a vital step in recognising the role violent porn plays in shaping attitudes and driving dangerous behaviours, as well as regulating an industry that promotes and profits from VAWG.

Despite the Supreme Court confirming that sex in the Equality Act means biological sex, the Scottish government has gone to the Court of Sessions, insisting it has a right to imprison men who identify as women in women's prisons.
There is no such right.
