Stay ahead of the news; buy the Eye.

There are plenty of weird Corbynites in Bristol who think they know better than centre-left voters. Then there are the Greens, who actually hate feminists but have got the support of young adults who consider themselves cool. And then there are the sad Wetherspoons partriots. Crazy mix.

"Back in the day...they were mostly pre-pubertile boys who felt that they were girls. Left to their own devices, because we didn't have hormone treatments and the internet and all the rest then, most of them grew out of it and became gay men" - Hilary Cass 15th Feb '26

Accept children as they are.

Donald Trump and Liz Truss

I just saw this posted (elsewhere) with the heading 'The Slug and Lettuce' and I genuinely guffawed.

Grim.

Gender pay gap won't close until 2056, warns Trades Union Congress The average woman employee

Gender pay gap won't close for another 30 years.

Myth of equality used to hike women's state pension age.

Women hold 69% of low-paid & insecure jobs.

Women hit first by benefit cuts, wage freezes, two-child benefit cap. More likely to be unpaid carers.

Why are govt policies loaded against women?

😂

Laughing and crying and then laughing some more

My surname is of Viking origin. I wonder if the Reform lot think that the Anglo-Saxons (themselves from across the water) should have tried much harder to turn back the Viking small boats?

I’m on the edge of Somerset. It’s been like living inside a car wash.

Menfolk who maybe don’t want to vaccinate, please google “orchitis”.

It occurs in 20-30% of post-pubertal boys and men who contract mumps.

Withered old cunt is a very strange expression to use when you’re talking about a vile middle-aged man. Plenty of ways to denigrate Bezos with showing us an unpleasant attitude to older women. How about festering dick, pestilent cock or dried-up scrotum?

This woman in Crowborough who took down flags is a hero and I hope she's ok.

Books, museums and languages can ‘delay dementia by five years’

A study has found that an intellectually active lifestyle cuts the risk of Alzheimer’s by nearly 40 per cent

Cartoon. Person says to other person „We invented a robot that answers questions.“, adding, „we just have to feed it 10 baby giraffes a day“. The other person asks „But it answers the questions correctly?“ Person responds „Oh my goodness, no. No no no no no.“ By Aram J. French Appropriated due to missing alt text

I just think gun ownership should be banned full stop!

It also states that children should not be able to use the facilities allocated to the opposite sex.

The cult is those who subscribe to gender identity beliefs, along with those who don’t believe but go along with it for an easy life.

18 years for someone who committed that many crimes is not enough. He’ll be out on license in 12 years, and filling his computers with child abused images again. The only consolation is knowing what a dreadful time he faces in prison.

Hard disagree.

JK Rowling supports charities which prioritise women and children. It’s not surprising many men have no respect for that.

JK Rowling & The Philanthropist's Tome - Platinum Media Group

After Elton John, she’s the UK’s biggest philanthropist. www.platinummediagroup.co.uk/dynamic/2025...

Exactly. It sounds like a load of adults tiptoed on eggshells around this child and prioritised affirming his gender delusion. Ensuring the family was gun-free would have been the number one health intervention for this community.

UK loses measles elimination status Decision made after outbreaks in 2024, when there were nearly 3,000 cases in England and Wales.

UK has lost its official status as a country that has achieved elimination of measles, as vaccination rates have fallen below the 95% required to achieve herd immunity. So sad, and likely due vaccine misinformation. If you haven't already, get your kids vaccinated ASAP. www.bbc.com/news/article...

It's almost like being fabulously rich doesn't make you happy or well adjusted. It's almost like it makes you sad and lonely. And leaves you forever casting about for scapegoats to offset your deep self-loathing. Thank you Jim Ratcliffe and Elon Musk for these important life lessons.

Violence is NOT a genderless phenomenon. 93% of homicides are committed by males. More than 99% of sexual violence crimes are perpetrated by males. It’s doing a gross disservice to us women to promote the idea that our level of criminality is the same as men’s.
