Ginger beer and fruit and nuts

Posted on December 03, 2025 by

We miss the days when this was parody, not “progressive” ideology.

But we are where we are.

And hey, it’s great news that their adult roles are still open to all.

      On the (SPIT) Biased Broadcasting Colonial news at lunchtime they took great pains to point out that a male nursery care worker named Chan had been prosecuted and found guilty of multiple gross sexual offences against children in his care at the nursery he works at

      They were extremely explicit in describing the actions of this despicable sick individual informing viewers that he had taken multiple videos of his sick perverted and deviant actions against the children on his and the nurseries tablets

      The newsreader and outside reporter were very solemn and serious as they should be in reporting these atrocious and serious attacks on extremely vulnerable and trusting little children

      But the irony that this organisation the bbc has been complicit and instrumental in covering up multiple accusations and claims of sexual assaults on children and adults escapes no one , and the FACT that they are the biggest proponents and producers of FAKE women in the shape of DRAG artistes programmes is NOT suspicious at all

      DRAG artistes who are also porn artists invited into schools by fuckwit politicians to read stories to vulnerable innocent children

      I also notice they were extremely quick and eager to name and photograph this deviant pervert on the national news but they appear to have missed naming and photographing the deviant pervert from the pride organisation prosecuted for his sexual crimes

    “3 December 2025
    National Federation of Women’s Institutes updates membership rules in light of Supreme Court judgment

    In April, the Supreme Court in the UK ruled that the legal definition of a woman under the Equality Act (2010) refers only to biological sex. Since the ruling, we have reviewed our long-held practice and membership policy to ensure we are compliant with the law. Today (Wednesday, 3 December), we have announced we can no longer legally offer formal membership to transgender women in light of this judgment. However, we will bring forward programmes to continue to extend fellowship, sisterhood, and support to transgender women.”

    LECTURER BRANDED AS ‘TRANSPHOBIC’ OVER HARRY POTTER LAB MUSIC

    Claims that a university lecturer was “transphobic” for playing Harry Potter soundtracks in his laboratory classes have been dismissed.

    Dr John Baird — Senior Lecturer of Zoology at the University of Aberdeen — was under investigation for over a year after four postgraduate students alleged he was a racist, bigot, homophobe, misogynist and transphobe, despite having never attended his classes

    The academic regularly posts content on social media critical of transgender ideology and shares gender-critical comments from the likes of JK Rowling, Sharron Davies, Sex Matters and Kathleen Stock.

    ‘PREPOSTEROUS’

    Announcing on X that he had “been cleared of all accusations”, Dr Baird said: “The evidence was preposterous and I should never have been investigated.”

    He explained: “Highlights included that I play Harry Potter music in my teaching labs, which I do. I was asked directly by the external HR company who were employed to interview me, why I played it — I burst out laughing.

    “I play it because my students love Harry Potter and it sets a nice vibe in the lab, which builds a bridge between me and the students.”

    Dr Baird, who said he had been subject to death threats over the issue, added he was glad to report that “bar the odd activist, my students are the loveliest and brightest young people anyone could have the privilege to meet”.

    DEBATE

    A spokesperson for the university commented: “Individuals have the right to hold and express their beliefs, even if those beliefs may be opposed by others, without fear of censorship or reprisal.

    “Debate is an important part of university culture. Forums for discussions should be conducted in the context of our values of openness and mutual respect.”

    Earlier this year, it was reported that university staff and students across the UK have suffered “extreme personal consequences” for upholding the reality of biological sex.

    In an analysis of 130 responses to a call for evidence hosted on University College London’s website, cited barriers to research included “self-censorship and chilling effects” (58 per cent), “bullying, harassment and ostracism” (42 per cent) and “institutional policies and training” (32 per cent).

      …good old ‘Granite City’…so many snowflakes scared of a ‘soundtrack’ now?

      …I’ve seen the Harry Potter films but never got round to reading the books….too many in the TBR pile as it is…I do wonder though, will the books come with the warning, as per the scary-wary Girlguiding update, and state ‘Please take care when reading’…?

    Somewhat o/t I’d have put it in the last thread but it’s moved on already.

    Could someone advise me on the best way to get the nearest thing to a “none of the above” on a ballot form? I don’t want to just scrawl a big X all over it or write none of the above on it I don’t want to just stay at home either. I want to officially register as far as I can that I’m there in the polling booth but decline to vote for any of them without it being dismissed as a spoiled ballot as if I’d written “vote Mickey Mouse” on it.

    Advice gratefully appreciated.

    “Your Party suspend trans former Scottish Greens council candidate after police probe revealed
    Exclusive: Eryn, or Evan, Browning had already been suspended from the Scottish Greens due to a police probe into alleged sexual misconduct and now he has been turfed out of Your Party as well.

    Jeremy Corbyn’s fledgling far-left Your Party has moved to suspend a trans former Scottish Greens council candidate who had already been turfed out the Greens over sexual misconduct allegations. Eryn, or Evan, Browning took to the stage at Your Party’s first conference.

    Browning – a biological man who identifies as a woman – was criticised on social media after he accused two sitting MPs of transphobia and was threatened with legal action. He also didn’t reveal his allegedly shad past to party bigwigs before signing up to attend the summit, and has now been suspended until further notice.”

      “Browning’s social media includes the description “trans woman & proud lesbian.” A number of women claimed that he had previously messaged them with sexually inappropriate comments, with screenshots provided as evidence. One of them claimed she was 13 when Browning wrote a sexually explicit message and told her he was 16.”

      …interesting…that the BBC, recently, when reporting these types of stories, I’ve seen them use the describing prefix of ‘a biological male who identifies as a woman’…have they finally understood that sharing real-world facts are relevant and important?

    Surely they could lighten their hearts simply by dropping the word “Girl” from their name? That would allow them to open their doors to everyone. It would be way more inclusive than maintaining outdated stereotypes.

    For the love of suffering Jesus, when are we going to understand what this is, what it has always been and always will be? When is society going to stop pretending that these men are in need of understanding when we understand them only too well. These men have paraphilias and/or fetishes. They are sexual in nature and are, therefore, damaging and dangerous to females of any age, but, particularly, little girls. Cross-dressing is a fetish. It is a sexual fetish.

    They are not harmless. They harm all females’ sense of self. If you suffered from a debilitating habit, such as anorexia or bulimia or spitting incessantly in public, those around you, and hopefully, you, yourself, would seek help. These men do not want help. What they have is pleasurable to them, regardless of the harm it does to others, so they create a fiction around it and make themselves appear vulnerable and victimized.

    The very act of participating in girl guiding and other female pursuits gives them a sexual kick. The act of transgressing and breaching female boundaries is a huge turn-on for them. Anyone who even tries to convince me that these men do not know what they are doing may provoke a severe backlash. They feed their addiction with pornography like a heroin addict feeds his or her addiction with methadone, pretending that it has some therapeutic effect, and society is complicit.

      You are completely correct, Lorna Campbell. What on earth stops our MSPs, MPs, NHS, universities etc etc ad nauseam, seeing the truth?

      No-one who goes along with this “be kind” to transvestite fetishists will ever get my vote.

        Hi Sarah, I really do not believe that any of them actually believes the hype – well maybe the nutty Greens do. What motivates others is a mixed bag of corruption, but I do think that many of those in positions of power and influence – and those with the money to push this stuff – are themselves embroiled in it. Not all of them because many will be cowards, but many will be projecting their own, hidden agendas on to ‘trans’ identified people because they recognize themselves

        The hope and the aim are to normalize what is aberrant sexual behaviours at the expense of children, women, gay people and animals. I know it’s blunt, but it is the truth. I recall a policeman in the vice section saying that every sexual crime is fuelled by pornography and pornography is found in every sexual offender’s home. There is pornography for every taste, no matter how illegal that taste may be at the moment.

      Definitely. Are women and kids are being placed at risk? If so then it is time to remove this ideology from public funded bodies, children’s organisations etc. The ideologues and the politicians who enabled them need removed from post.

      ” its time the mad folk moved on”

      Well, that might necessarily include all the parliamentarians who enacted gender ideology legislation as well as the elites heading up thousands of public and commercial institutions who implemented it into their everyday operational ‘guidelines’, many of whom still appear to support the ideology in spite of the UKSC ruling.

    I don’t think that both the WI and the Guides regret the stance they have taken at all. I think if they were really bothered about the issue they would simply have delayed till the EHRC guidelines came out.
    I suspect they are simply glad in the most case to not have to pretend boys are girls, particularly the WI which tends to be slightly older and pretty dismissive of the whole issue.
    The continuing rollback of the whole trans ideology issue across the nation is accelerating.
    The transphobia threats don’t work any longer and folk are not too scare to say its nonsense, which is not the same as calling for violence.

      I rad that this morning. Somebody needs to be calling out the employer for suggesting that the complainant use an accessible toilet. Accessible toilets exist so that physically disabled people can play an equal part in society. They are not there to facilitate the wet dreams of those who insist they are a different sex to what they really are.

      So when the employer says “Leonardo remains a supportive and inclusive environment for all employees,” that is to put it as delicately as possible, complete bollocks.

    Or they know will receive lots of abusive messages from transactivists?
    I suspect the overwhelming number of parents support the ban.
    Banning boys from girls activities is not transphobia and TBF what are parents thinking of encouraging this thing in pre pubescent kids who simply don’t know themselves?
    Apparently there is a kid at the local primary who identifies as a cat and goes around attacking other kids, cos that’s what cats do. The parents asked the school to support this, and they did. Morons.

    “A woman has lost a discrimination claim against an aerospace firm over their toilet policy for transgender staff.

    Maria Kelly objected to trans women – biological males who identify as women – being allowed into the female toilets at Leonardo UK’s office in Edinburgh.

    Ms Kelly, an engineer, took action against her employer alleging harassment and direct and indirect sex discrimination in March 2023.

    But her complaint has been dismissed at an employment tribunal. It found Leonardo’s policy did not place females at a significant disadvantage compared with male staff.

    In her ruling, Judge Michelle Sutherland said the toilet policy was a “proportionate means of achieving a legitimate aim” to create an inclusive workplace environment for trans staff.

    She dismissed Ms Kelly’s argument that it was unfair to sacrifice the privacy of women, 20% of the workforce, for the interests of five transgender staff members, 0.5 % of the workforce.

    Judge Sutherland pointed out that only a single person, Ms Kelly, had raised a complaint – which amounted to 0.05% of the female workforce.”

        Marie, I think the West has always won on the hypocritical stakes – too willing to justify it’s actions as ‘civilised’ and the rest of the world as uncivilised but it ain’t that long ago when a man could sell his wife at a country market in England should she be not to his taste and of course , beat them up if they disobeyed them.
        The human race is quite disappointing really.

      • Hatey McHateface says:

        “it ain’t that long ago when a man could sell his wife at a country market in England should she be not to his taste”

        Are you sure it ain’t that long? Seriously?

        How long is it since a British man could douse his wife in paraffin and set her alight if she bored him?

        How long is it since some Brit lads could kill their sister if her exuberant behaviour stained the family’s so-called “honour”?

        How long is it since women protesting about being institutionally and religiously second-class people were being deliberately shot in the genitals by the “purity police”?

        You need to get a fecking grip.

  18. BLMac says:

    So we can conclude from reading the statement that the Girl Guides regret that they can no longer allow a person with a penis to share a tent, a changing room, etc with impressionable and vulnerable pubescent girls.

    That organisation should be banned from receiving any public funds until they have got rid of all the groomers.
