E pur si muove. What courage.
It’s quite surreal to note the last appearance of Prof Lord Robert Winston on the BBC was on the 14 Oct 2021. A long-running BBC presenter of science programmes and regular contributor to several shows, yet no where to be seen on the state broadcaster after stating this fact:

This guy wants you to know that there is no science which shows he has an advantage over women.

@shylockh George Carlin 1990: "There's a condition in combat—most people know about it. It's when a fighting person's nervous system has been stressed to its absolute peak and maximum. Can't take any more input. The nervous system has either snapped or is about to snap. In the First World

Setting an early record for the highest number of idiotic statements in a single tweet. Is it the internet that has enabled people to become so completely detached from physical reality?
I genuinely wonder why it's so difficult for some people to understand that to be a "man" or "woman" is a social experience. It's not a biological one. Trans people's existence is literally proof of this. Any trans person who "passes" gets treated just like any other person

It’s women controlling the circumstances under which they risk having babies. We got a choice. And we stopped dying.
Reminds me of one of the best charts of all time: The plummeting rate of women who die in childbirth.

Exactly this. Sometimes the wrong people do the right things, because the right people are so bedazzled by their own virtue that they can’t see straight.
@nick_sutcliffe Yes, it is. Let me help you "make sense" of it: Because we've spent years begging the left to care about the women in prison being raped by male convicts in their cells, and they won't even acknowledge them. Trump may be a pig, but he ordered male inmates out of women's federal

@cmwilliams99 @ForWomenScot @LWDScotland Males are a disproportionate risk to females compared to other females. That’s the grim reality & it’s utterly dishonest to pretend otherwise. UK crime stats for you.

My quote of the year was sent in by a listener to @TimesRadio. It’s from C S Lewis and warns of the danger of a government of do-gooders. I’d not heard it before but it’s beautifully phrased, and a bit of a foretelling of modern politics.

I’ve been digging into the early history of the hijab, and now I can’t unsee what I learned. Yes, many women today wear it willingly and sincerely, but the foundation on which it originally stood is deeply skewed. Historically, veiling wasn’t just about “modesty before God.” It

It’s fairly well known that Mao Zedong’s so-called Great Leap Forward (1958–1962) ended in the greatest man-made famine in human history—some 45 million dead, fields littered with corpses, villages emptied by hunger, and the sound of chewing bark mistaken for the crackle of

A man having an F marker for sex on official documents does not make him a woman, it makes the documents incorrect. Even if he paid the government to do it.

Precisely this. Their not sharing the results tells us all we need to know.
The research was reviewed by York University: it was found to be of very poor quality and there was no compelling evidence to support medical transition of children. If medical transition of children was this amazing wonderful thing, then no one would block investigation of the

Every year at #Michaelmas, I reshare this post in the hope that someone may recognise the statue of St. Michael, stolen from atop our village war memorial in June 2019. I will never give up hope that one day it may be returned to us. Please do keep sharing this! #HeritageCrime
Can you help? This beautiful bronze statue of Saint Michael the Archangel, dedicated to those servicemen & women who gave their lives fighting for their country, has been stolen from atop the war memorial in our #Bedfordshire village. Please retweet & help us find Saint Michael!
