"But don’t expect any apologies or recompense for the stolen medals, lost places, injured bodies and humiliation experienced by thousands of female athletes. So far at least, the IOC hasn’t acknowledged its own fault in allowing women to be punched in the face by men."

I asked chatgpt a series of questions honing in on different issues. I recommend you do the same if you are interested. Sources ONS and census can all be checked.
Bottom line - the assertion is open to many caveats but that does not undermine the core arguments in the article.

Interesting Q. Chatgpt got this from ONS & census:
Simple per-capita comparison:
UK ~1 reported trans homicide per year ~262,000 trans people that’s roughly 3.8 trans homicides per 1,000,000 trans people per year.
UK General homicide rate is 10 per million.
But there are a great many caveats.

Great news & good luck to the BBC. However it still needs to address its bias regarding sex vs gender identity. Parts of the BBC have been instrumental in exposing the scandal of gender affirming medicine but it has also left a trail of evidence which will count against it in a future inquiry.

Great piece. This paragraph in particular absolutely nails it.

Love it. I’m stealing that. From now on, when I’m forced to block the worst of the worst on X, I’ll remember that on Bluesky, those same people have already pre-emptively blocked themselves.

Immigration isn’t the root cause of Britain’s decline. But the attention system makes it feel like the cause because it’s the most emotionally loaded explanation. Until we fix that distortion, politics will keep treating symptoms, not causes.

So the issue isn’t “people are sheeple.” The issue is:
real decline → emotional stress → algorithmic amplification → misdiagnosis → hollow policy responses → no improvement → more stress.
This cycle keeps feeding itself. That’s the core problem.

I hope so but there are so many issues & the back log is too great. All the regulatory bodies need radical overhaul including the electoral commission. GBNews. Cryptocurrency & dark money. I just don't see any evidence that the govt has even thought about tackling these issues. I hope I am wrong.

I think this reply to Melanie Field from Michael Foran is well worth a read:
