Look: I really don’t want to become “that guy who posts doggy pics”. But I couldn’t resist sharing this one. Just two wee pals, off for a wander.

- I’ve seen various posts on here today defending *paedophilia* - yes, that’s right, it’s not a typo, actual paedophilia - as a “sexual orientation” which should be forgiven as it “can’t be helped”. I’m sorry, but what in the ever loving f*ck? Inclusion is important. All lawful
- I dare anyone to watch the 46 seconds of Carini v Khelif in the Olympic boxing and not feel intense discomfort at what you’re watching. An XY individual with years of elevated testosterone battering an XX female is not sport, whatever it says on the former’s passport.
- Oh. My. God. Seriously. Is there nothing, no act of such unspeakable cruelty, that you would actually decry? Is anything ok as long as it fits your narrative? We are watching actual horror here, and you and Ross are apologising for it. 🤷♂️
- To my horror, I have discovered that all of the doors in my house have been hung in such a way as to inhibit the natural flow of air. I’m basically living in a death trap."If a door is hung in such a way that it is inhibiting the natural flow of air" Cutting edge science here in Scotland ladies and gents. 🤡🤪🤡🤪🤡🤪🤡🤪🤡🤪
00:00 - I spend a lot of time on here defending the judiciary. But sentencing like this makes it difficult. These are not victimless crimes, and need to be treated far more seriously. We can’t jail people for heat of moment posts that incite violence yet not for premeditated activityHULL: Paedophile, Neil Smith, 49, who admitted making 'disgusting' Category A video & images of girls being raped, has walked free from court. Judge: "I take into account the effect an immediate sentence would have on you, particularly your loved ones" hulldailymail.co.uk/news/hull-east…
- An open letter to @BorisJohnson and @pritipatel , approved by all Office Bearers of @FacultyScot Please stop the denigration of the legal profession.
- Replying to @e_mmarussellDr Cass is a consultant paediatrician. What qualifications do you have to offer this commentary on her report? The importance of the issues at stake here means that knee jerk reactions must be avoided, and that calm, informed voices are required.
- Yep. That’s how it is. If you supported this, you chose to put men’s rights over women’s. Not trans rights. Men’s rights. The ability of men - who *are not trans* - to choose their “best life” at the expense of women. That’s what you’ve done. I hope you’re proud.My advice. Don’t justify the unjustifiable. Just say youmade a choice. Picked a side. Decided who was expendable and who was collateral damage. But never tell a survivor of male violence that you feel their pain. Just tell them other things mattered more. And live with your pick.
- You might not like Murdo. You might dislike his politics, perhaps intensely. But he’s bang on the money, here. If Mr Tennant had come out with that rant even five years ago, he’d have been filleted. Now, he’s feted. What a time to be alive, eh?A privileged white male celebrity telling a black woman standing up for the rights of women & girls to ‘shut up’ - and being applauded for it - is peak 2024
- Mr Nicholson. This is being sub-tweeted a lot, & you may not be seeing it. So let me address you directly: for you to refer to one of UK’s leading equality KCs in this way is disgraceful; & for you to comment on a case where you testified before judgment is spectacularly unwise.
- This unhinged rant, posted just a month ago and accusing an MP of being a “horrible human being” for expressing lawful beliefs and standing up for women’s rights, came from someone that was just about to stand trial for, &has now been convicted *of rape*. wiltshire.police.uk/news/wiltshire…rosie duffield claims she isn't transphobic. let's take a moment to outline why that's a lie, she's a massive transphobe, and she's also just a horrible human being. 1/16
- Biologically and legally inept. I do not, indeed cannot, become a woman simply by wanting to be to be one; and the suggestion to the contrary is bizarre to the point of being offensive.
- The fantastic thing about the modern world is that actors who know literally nothing about anything are able to school parents about what’s appropriate for their children. Yay.
"The actor said that it was 'condescending' for adults to question whether such a life-changing decision was in a child’s best interests." One started hormone treatment a week after deciding she was transgender and actor replied “Wow, that’s amazing.” thetimes.co.uk/article/c6a100…
