Every time I open a can of kidney beans I am reminded of the time when I googled "can you freeze kidney beans?" and found a forum thread that started with somebody asking exactly this question and ended with everybody calling each other a c***.

A new chemo drug is to be offered to children as young as ten who truly believe they have cancer. The drugs may affect brain or bone development but not enough research exists to say for sure. The children will have chemo for two years then may - or may not - be followed up to

I cannot believe I came to Parliament to have to point out that we should NEVER use experimental/irreversible drugs *in trials on children under 13* which halt their puberty. But I will because I need to be able to sleep at night.

Re bias on @BBCRadio4 @BBCWomansHour Here's the tally of trans-activist guests as opposed to gender sceptical guests. It's not up to date as I stopped counting at this point (Jan 2024). But it shows how our voices have been outnumbered.

Lucky that the BBC wasn’t policing facial expressions for signs of personal views when Jeremy Paxman was at Newsnight. Either that or it just has different rules for female presenters.

Just a reminder of where this ideology will take you if you succumb to its seductive appeal.
I see it very differently! This plan is focused on the wrong issues -on the presenting symptoms, compliance & punishment. Instead we need a focus on child development, the differences between adolescence female & male brain maturation, & our growing understanding of neuroscience.

Thoroughly depressing article. All the eduvoices that have led to this carnage are present in England too, and we need to be constantly vigilant to prevent them getting anywhere near the levers of power. https://t.co/L1ekkNvPc5

This is terrifyingly accurate
@cierzo1 PEx will always have been reviewed by governors and is subject to independent review. Typically persistent disruptive behaviour will look something like: disrupts lesson, warned, continues to disrupt, given detentionDT, fails to attend, disrupts again, collected from class to DT

Years ago I did a benefit appeal for a client with Downs Syndrome. He was so suggestible he agreed with the benefits assessor that he could successfully navigate across town. I got the same positive answer when I asked if he could fly an aeroplane
😭A TRAGEDY Every person with Down's syndrome would be eligible for assisted suicide under this Bill, according to Ken Ross, Founding Officer at the National Down Syndrome Policy Group. This Bill is a national tragedy in the making.

Have just complained to @SkyNews about @kvittozzi's piece this morning, in which she referred to "pregnant people." Discussing a medical scandal that affects ONLY women, she refuses (or Sky's style guide refuses to let her) use the the word "woman". We. Are. Being. Erased.
