The contents of a ‘workshop’ on sex and gender being taught to civil servants has been leaked to Times columnist Janice Turner. It’s a combination of anti-scientific nonsense and ignorance of the law.
Here are some facts I learnt by watching an “inclusion workshop” for civil servants. A brain in a jar “knows” if it is male or female and, if transplanted into the “wrong” body, would exhibit distress. This country has no legal sex-based rights. It is impossible to define what “woman” or even “female” means. There is zero conflict between women’s rights and trans rights, so beware colleagues asking too many questions; they’re probably bigots.
A:gender, “a network supporting all trans and intersex staff across government”, trains thousands of civil servants annually, from the NHS to the Cabinet Office, yet it forbids its presentations being recorded. Having endured 90 minutes of anti-scientific, legally fallacious twaddle, I can see why it avoids scrutiny.
Concerned women civil servants secretly taped and sent it to me, as they believe this “training” violates central principles of the civil service code: integrity, honesty, objectivity and impartiality. In particular it breaks the rule that they cannot frustrate policies once decisions are taken “by declining to take, or abstaining from, action which flows from these decisions”. It is their job to implement decisions, not to undermine them.
This A:gender session is conducted by Emma, who tells us she is intersex, having a vagina and uterus but XY chromosomes. She claims that as many people are intersex – 1.7% – as have green eyes. The more precise figure is about 0.018%. But intersex here is deployed to muddy the very idea that human sex is binary.
Indeed, the difference between sex (biology) and gender (a social construct) seems to confuse Emma. “You’d look at my nails and make-up and realise I am female,” she says. We are asked to position ourselves on spectrums of “woman-ness” and “man-ness” and told if some days we wake feeling more manly or womanly than others, we may be “gender fluid”.
Worth reading in full.

That’s in the Times?!
I’m stunned (I’m also not paying for a subscription to read the rest).
Retaining sanity involves sacrificing any contact with the MSM.
Sadly, we see the consequences of ignoring this advice all around us!
Isn’t the Times just reporting the insanity, in this case?
I mean, I’m no fan of the Times myself, but aren’t you shooting the messenger here? (Fortunately, in this case the messenger is guilty of other crimes and fully deserving of the bullet).
[Granted, you might just be expressing astonishment that the Times of all papers is exposing this kind of nonsense, that they have played their full part in promoting over the past few decades.]
Mark, you are absolutely correct. The writer, Janice Turner, is one of the more sane journalists in The Times. She is reporting what has been secretly taped and smuggled out by civil servants concerned at the rubbish they are being forcibly indoctrinated with.
Forcibly Indoctrinated!! Impossible, you cannot make intelligent people believe lies.
Times muppets.
In the film “Wipers Times (a ww1 publication by soldiers at the front), the founder is saying he wants to name the paper after a journal that is “a bit more truthful than the Mail”. Until such time as they get back to being a truthful journal that prints real news in the public interest (instead of for example pretending there are no legitimate concerns about big pharma’s “covid ‘vaccines’ “), they do not deserve your subscription.
When the great British public were faced with totalitarianism, mass detention, beatings and forced medical experiments they did not push back
Instead of standing up for themselves they went out and bought designer dogs
Sums the stupid f*cks up
If the majority are uneducated cretins then unfortunately we all get pulled down to their level, but there’s still a hell of a lot more bright informed people than they who make up the numbers of the lackeys of the Globalist Junta posing as an elected government.
Organise and get rid of them, the Sheeple will merely stand by and stare that’s what Sheep do.
They are of no consequence they will follow whoever is in charge.
Good point well made.
Your assessment of the majority of people is a good one, spirit of the wind.
I was at a large public event yesterday… and I have to say I came away feeling very defeatist.
I’ve been conscious of the infantilisation of adults for a while and have been watching in the periphery the unusual number of children being born with strange illnesses, but yesterday, even my partner noticed that our society is malfunctioning.
It was impossible to ignore the number of children – and adults – showing signs of autism. Others showing their support of the ‘latest thing’. The occasional man dressed as a woman. Many women dressed like men.
But what disappoints the most is the slack, carefree parenting of children. It’s a rare sight to see parents keeping their children close, safe and nuisance-free for other people.
We watched as a woman walked her child onto a road with fast-moving traffic. The mother was safe on the path but the boy of around 3yrs old was on the road inches away from the cars.
Another example was a family sitting on a riverbank. Young girl of around 5yrs stretching to pick a flower over the water. They sat back, didn’t give a toss about the high risk of her falling in.
There was a bandstand and I watched as a young family sat back and let their kids kick the back of the seats of people sitting in front of them. This went on even after the people complained.
I was utterly deflated by the end of the day.
All this said, it’s imperative that we keep the faith. Our biggest strength is positivity.
Autism…..are we allowed to mention Andrew Wakefield?
Just started reading Thiomersal by Sen RFK Jnr.
Got to the third chapter and I am questioning my role in giving out these vaccines for children. It was a huge list oc vaccines when I left general practice 10 years ago and I am horrified at how the vaccine program has expanded since ten.
I would question your role in giving out the poison in general, shame on you!
Not yet but soon, hopefully, when the dam bursts and the truth floods out. As the aunt of an MMR damaged young woman who will never even approach whatever potential she had until it was shut down by a needle at 13 months of age, I pray for Andrew’s vindication.
going along with the “latest thing” really is a disturbing sight when watching people undertake such behaviours. The times I have heard people say things like “you have to support ukraine” etc. 6 months ago they could not give a F about Ukraine and now to them its the most precious thing in the world. This behaviour is creepy.
When you see the england football team take the knee for BLM you do wonder if its now symbolises tax fraud considering the BLM organisations dodgy dealings that came to light etc.
I agree. Sitting on a bus, watching young mothers of children in pushchairs, I am deeply saddened to see them staring at their phones while their offspring sit staring vacantly at nothing, poor things. Often, it is us old grannies who engage with the children, smiling and waving and playing peek-a-boo.
The one thing I learnt during the lockups, was how many people in Britain would have gulibly accepted what BBC said and gone along with the Nazis (if they had been British).
I’m not sure why anyone would downvote you for this comment!
And somebody downvoted you for good measure!
Must be a bot or an effing moron?
OR it could be a bot designed by an effing moron?
Or “Keyboard Cowards”
And the worse thing of all is that we, the tax payer, are footing the bill for this shite. The trans mob – and that’s what they are, a bitter nasty, bullying, mob – are truly deranged.
“Minorities Rule! OK?”….but then tyranny has always been the rule of minorities!
But, at least they’ve levelled the playing field by asserting that blokes can be lesbians…
Well, I guess most blokes could be lesbians trapped in male bodies.
I am a genius, trapped in the body of a moron … or is it the other way around?
The problem are not the actual trans people, many rather stay “hidden”, but the self identified allies.
Indeed. The two or three gay men I have met all said they wish the whole movement would just shrivel up and die.
Gay Pride marches are notable for the majority, heterosexual ‘enlightened’ middle class couples with their kids in attendance.
They aren’t the trans mob though. By and large, in my experience, transsexuals just want to be left alone.
This is middle class Britain looking for a cause because they probably don’t have a fleeting interest in religion as they are far too educated to believe in something which can’t be proven.
I’m not religious, but I have huge respect for those who are (except Welby) and I value their, now eroded, Christian stewardship of the nations moral fibre.
Exactly – ther want to be lost alone and do their own thing. It’s not them causing this nonsense and as soon as sites like this realise and re-target the better.
Are we still talking about woke inclusion nonsense or are we back to covid. Or have we moved on to climate change? Or perhaps it’s monetary policy?
Those that deem to rule us are badly out of control. If we keep paying attention to them the damage will just get worse and worse.
Where does baking cakes for Ukraine come into it?
Or the “clap for the NHS”; and I don’t mean monkeypox?
I love this bit:
In other words:
Will the “Bigots” soon to be taking to the streets in their millions?
Plod will be well briefed and ready for them I’m sure
There won’t be enough coppers, they lost control of the London riots remember?
It was people power that actually stopped that.
The definition of a “group thinker” they don’t ask questions, they just gullibly think what they are told to think by someone in “authority”. In contrast, the sceptic is always asking questions, always searching for different ways to look at things.
“so beware colleagues asking too many questions; they’re probably bigots.”
INGSOC would be proud
Down, down, down we go as the planned Cultural Marxist deconstruction of everything carries on apace.
Bye Bye ‘Western Civilisation’ and the ‘Age of Reason’.
We are getting close to Sartre’s “Tabula Ras|” so effectively picked up and put into place by Pol Pot.
British government radio broadcasts on anything they can hook climate change to certainly have an “After the smashing of the Gang of Four” feel to them – featuring duckspeaking “experts” who gave up most of their own humanity years ago, who are there to demonise resistance (even “only” crimethink) by anyone else, and who sound like nothing more than automata reading out controlled messages for the Party.
This is going to get worse if the insane crown prince takes over the throne.
The ” insane Crown Prince” always a feature of a Monarchy in decline! Catherine the Great knew how to handle the problem.
“A:gender” is run from a Home Office email address. It has “members”. Its membership form refers to an unnamed “Business Manager”.
What is its legal status?
On its Sh*tter account it refers to itself as a “community”.
Is it a quango, a staff association, or what?
I pay taxes to fund this sh*t?
Aren’t heads of quangos supposed to be publicly identified?
PS In another of its Sh*tter posts, “A:gender” states “If you’re a trans man or a non-binary person with a cervix aged 25-64, you are eligible for cervical screening.” How much longer can this insane anti-female lying be allowed to continue? Only females have cervixes! Maybe we should underpay our taxes or something? We have to make clear somehow that we don’t consent.
The “Deep State” and its woke minions are out of control – politicians seem increasingly irrelevant to anything that happens in this sad country.
Most aren’t even told what is going on. Nadine Dorries ( ex Health Minister) when asked said she knew nothing about vaccine injuries or the inoperative compensation scheme.
Dorries, whether gazing with rapture and adoration, worthy of Teresa of Avila, upon the figure of her beloved Alexander in the Commons, or transmuting the boos of bystanders outside St. Paul’s into cheers for her hero, is deaf and blind to anything which suggests that the object of her devotion may be less than perfect. Even the encouragement of medical malpractice, and its subsequent denial, by her Government is disregarded.
She really ought to stick to writing unreadable novelettes and removing the BBC licence fee immediately. Anything else is beyond her, apart from the suppression of free speech, and professing ignorance of the matters you mention. She is the epitome of a Johnson groupie.
Is Johnson completely losing the plot? Would two doctors agree I wonder?
This is absolutely the key.
All government stupidity and abuse is enabled by funding. If the money didn’t exist, they wouldn’t have the power or resources to push anything on the population, be it insane inclusion nonsense, jabs, vax passports, subsidies for climate initiatives. None of it. The key is shrinking the state and taking away the money.
If not, they take our money to create jobs to supposedly solve problems real or fabricated, which in any case will be pointless because bureaucrats don’t solve problems. You end up paying a bunch of people dedicated to creating a bureaucracy that you don’t need for the sole purpose of justifying their own jobs.
The modern state has become an exercise in insanity. We give them money for them to control us and abuse us. We pay the state to turn us into its slaves. Bloody nuts.
I don’t actually ‘give’ them money – they just take from my pensions and the rent I recieve from my house.
I have no say in the matter of tax or what it is spent on. Or should I say squandered on?
Actually I tried the “Brain in a jar” experiment myself. Turns out only 1% of the brains I transplanted into surrogate bodies have gender dysphoria. Who would have thunk it?
Did you use the Cabinet’s brains for that experiments? I have often wondered where they are to be found!
This is looking at the issue of humans allegedly being born into the wrong sex body.
What is clearly significantly more widespread is people being born into the wrong species’ body – they are a sheep’s brain in a human body, and would be far more happy in a field chewing the grass, pissing when they feel like it and with shit smeared all around their arse. And running away when anyone comes into their field or even close to the fence.
Why are we paying for this?
I’d ask all Sceptics to look on https://www.civilservicejobs.service.gov.uk go to the HR section and read the job descriptions
Then for any you can’t work out what they are going to do that is worthwhile, write to your MP and ask why we’re paying for this in a time when we need to get government spending down so we can lower taxes and allow people to afford food and power this winter.
MPs sign off the supply estimates. They need to be held accountable for what they are paying for.
Worth repeating, because it’s relevant here. And bear in mind that this is after 12 years of “Conservative” government.
NHS Hiring Even More £60,000 Equality and Inclusion Managers
Dr Nick Watts, the “Chief Sustainability Officer” of the NHS. Based in [high wage] London, he “leads the Greener NHS team across the country”.
Tbh, I think we have travelled past the point of no return. Opponents of big government always pointed out that there comes a point at which so many people are dependent on government either for a wage or for welfare that there is no possibility of cutting government back.
they want the majority working for the state in some capacity, greater control
How do you think successive governments keep managing to announce low rates of unemployment in the country.
We don’t make anything. No coal mines. No shipyards. Barely any steelworks. Barely any aerospace.
They have to mop up those numbers somehow.
That was one of the tactics – another was to shift people onto incapacity benefits.
AAAAARRRRGHHHH – don’t get me started on incapacity benefits!!!!!
Alcoholics and drug addicts were all on incapacity benefits – all it did was give them more money to spend on their addictions!!!
The Doc I worked for and myself always said that there should be three levels of benefits:
sickness benefit – for those who were truly ill and genuinely unable to work
unemployment benefit
unemployable benefit to be paid at a lower rate than unemployment benefit.
I am sure many on here know people who fall into the latter category.
Not only the Whitehall and Westminster mob but there is the duplication of all the bloody ministries in Scotland plus Wales and Northern Ireland, which WE are paying for.
It should be flat illegal to indoctrinate civil servants, and all government employees, in anything.
This poison started with the “anti-racist” crap, because it’s always the supposedly less controversial stuff that pokes the camel’s nose under the tent flap.
Mentally soft people just thought “it’s not indoctrination, it’s just about basic niceness and “justice””. but it absolutely is indoctrination, and the people pushing it always have an agenda.
After the “anti-racists” came the feminists and the sexual fetish identity lobbyists, then the climate alarmists. Along the way, all the corporate “charities” put their noses into the trough. I might have missed a few out.
After banning this sort of thing for government employees, consideration should be given to banning it for corporations above a set size. For individuals and small businesses, liberty means they should be free to waste their money on this kind of nonsense if they choose, but experience has taught us that once corporations become very big, they need to be controlled as quasi-governmental, and liberty no longer applies.
Where that size limit should be set is a matter for political debate. Certainly any corporation that operates in more than one country should be tightly controlled.
Controlled by whom? The quasi-governmental groups you suggest are the very people championing diversity. And as you note, it didn’t begin with transphobia. It began with affirmative action disguised as some notion of decency. We now have jobs only nonwhites can apply for.
How much of your life are you prepared to relinquish to police these people? Wouldn’t it be simpler just to defund them. The corporations wouldn’t survive a switch to small government. They are hopeless too.
Our great sin is doing nothing as various governments took ever more power. Now we have non-criminal hate incidents, a direct descendent of the smoking bans (also a legal activity).
It is the comfort people have with being ruled that is dangerous. That’s what we need to change.
I have come to view the extension of liberty arguments to the big corporations as a fatal error in the resistance to big government.
“How much of your life are you prepared to relinquish to police these people? Wouldn’t it be simpler just to defund them. The corporations wouldn’t survive a switch to small government. They are hopeless too.”
Too much of a faith-based assertion for me. If we are to leave controlling the big corporations until they somehow wither away with the reduction in the size of government, that will never happen. The big corporations are and have always been a huge part of the problem.
Of course, there can be no solution without the accession to political power of people who believe in liberty, that applies at least as much to shrinking government as it does to controlling the big corporations.
Imo we need a movement that is strongly supportive of everything that promotes liberty, self-reliance and conservatism with a small c. Family, faith, small and family businesses and farming. That includes both deregulating to remove the advantages big business gains from big government, but also actively discriminating against those big corporations in many ways, not letting them exploit liberty arguments.
I wish I had bookmarked the article from someone who described Putin’s managed emergence of the state over corporatism.
It almost sounds ominous, but it’s not possible to have a democracy without a state. Nor is it possible to have a democracy with commercially contaminated state.
Western politics is almost terminally contaminated by corporatism, in large part thanks to Blair and Obama although, we can’t ignore the military/industrial complex that’s been a profitable enterprise for corporations for hundreds of years. However, Blair threw the doors wide open and Obama followed suit as soon as he took power in the US.
This an over simplification, I know.
My point being, however, the commentator outlined Putin’s philosophy of ensuring the state remained at arms length from corporations and oligarchs. Which is probably why we don’t hear him objecting to the west seizing Oligarch’s assets over the war. They are a pain in the arse as far as he’s concerned.
The whole thing is hugely complex but what the commentator described was that, whilst the west declines into tyrannical fascism, Putin understands not to even get close to encouraging it.
My friend who lives in Russia tells me the freedoms Russians enjoy is far beyond those of the supposedly free USA never mind the over regulated UK.
A comment (possibly a reference to that same article you mentioned here) I saw the other day suggested that the difference between the US sphere states and Russia/China is that in the latter the deep state keeps the oligarchs in check (with Putin’s achievement having been to enable the Russian deep state to put the Russia oligarchs back in their box after the 1990s, as you suggest), while in the US sphere the deep state dances to the oligarchs’ tunes, via their corporate and media power and consequent political power.
It’s all ridiculous of course, but I can’t help but have a small wry smile, knowing that decades of aggresive feminism – having to listen constantly to how fantastic women are and how awful men are – has resulted in women not being allowed to be called women. There’s an amusing, twisted, irony right there.
Women had to be aggressive in some cases because we were not being listened to. Now, it seems to me, men have gone into a ‘if you can’t beat them, join them’ mentality, in order to start belittling women all over again. Why don’t I hear anything about trans men then? I know they exist, but is it because they don’t have the same agenda?
As a woman who had to fight very hard in a male dominated workplace in the 70s and onwards, I feel our hard won rights are now being deliberately downgraded, and, worse, women are aiding and abetting it. They should be ashamed of themselves – but then, if they are part of the facebook/twitter/instagram world their brains are probably mush and incapable of original though.
I suspect that what you have got is the direct result of your fight…
My wife worked up from being an unqualified dental assistant in the late 70’s to running one of the largest nurse training university department in the country, with 60 lecturers reporting to her.
She was encouraged over several years to apply for the job of Vice Chancellor of the university, but she knew it would be detrimental to our home life.
She never felt oppressed by males, or marginalised when it came to anything to do with her career because she was a woman.
Personally, I worked for a number of women who were good enough to move up the corporate ladder but I can’t think of one who didn’t value their family more than their career.
‘Twisted’ is the problem, not in any way the solution; it is unwise to take pleasure from it.
I’ve spent over 50 years having to listen to what a disgusting human being I am by the rabid feminists that became the mainstream, while most other women sat idly by and said and did nothing. I’m afraid you reap what you sow.
I up-ticked you because/even though i identify as a heterosexual female aka woman! You are right.
That centre bog door looks like it’s for spike proteins and viruses only.
I asked my civil service nephew if he had done any of these ‘courses’, oh yes he said we had to do something like that online, I think.
Diversion and inclusion is a major element of civil service training, done at least annually. It now includes “unconscious bias”, a concept that has no scientific basis whatsoever.
These things don’t need facts, however. They are there to remind the easily cowed there is some rule they must be aware of. A rule they must obey. For those drawn to the public sector, where perceived security is the driving force, they are a captive audience perfect for this very kind of brainwashing. They are generally mentally weak people to begin with.
These types of courses are common at UK universities. I used to work with a Spanish chap who commented that the black students had the lowest attendance at undergraduate lab practicals and when they did attend they failed to take any notes. it took her until the following to send him an email asking him to attend a meeting regarding the matter, to which he declined. The next day, the HR bods came to the lab looking for him to discuss the matter.
To cut a long story short , he quit his job that same day and now works for a biotech start up on 5 times the money.
Whether working for the civil service or higher education I can tell you that for a lot of people the constant blathering on about minorities , lgbtqxyz , sexism etc aren’t far off the psychological torture inflicted on us during the covid scam and can actually cause mental illness.
Not in nurse education faculties they’re not.
Preaching to a course of midwives that men can have babies would have them rolling in the isles.
At the universities I’ve worked at ( UK) any nurse training was separate to the stem departments
Did we not see a few weeks ago A British university is teaching it’s midwifery students how to care for males giving birth…
Just last week hubby was sent pre-surgery paperwork to complete and the forms asked when his last smear test was and if he could be pregnant 🤦♀️
It is illegal to indoctrinate Civil Servants – but that doesn’t seem to have any effect. Note that the politicians are NOT the civil servant’s managers – the civil servants are specifically meant to be independent of politics. So complaining to the politicians is pointless.
I am reminded of the US Supreme Court case Worcester v. Georgia, 31 U.S. (6 Pet.) 515 (1832), in which the court ruled that the Indian nations were in fact nations, and could not be oppressed by individual states. The president at the time (Andrew Jackson – no friend of the Indians) said:
“John Marshall (the Chief Justice) has made his decision; now let him enforce it!”
It looks like the Civil Service are now saying this to the politicians…..
I’ve been warning about this waste of tax-payer money for the last few years – ‘inclusivity workshops’ that are mandatory for civil service staff and they’re taken off the job for two and a half hours to have their heads pumped full of BS. They’re confronted by pro-BLM messages when booting up their computers and constantly trained about behavioural expectations.
Is it any surprise the country is rotting from the inside out?
In my debating society I recently had an interesting run in with some modern brainwashed teenager viewpoints. It was very illuminating and the key takeaways were:
1) Gender is entirely a social construct.
2) Humans are not animals. (What are they then? They didn’t know)
I started to see how and why Bret Weinstein got into hot water at Evergreen. They made me feel like an arcane conservative for expressing the most basic and obvious truths.
So there is a systematic attack in progress on Western peoples. Their humanity is being stripped from them coldly and deliberately and I think the motive is that a dehumanised and fractured society that doesn’t even know how to be human is a very weak society that is easy to control. And a race/trans/gender/culture war is much better for the technocrats and financial bosses than a class war, which would see their heads on pikes in very short order.
All we need to do to protect ourselves is to continue being human and see their manipulative little games for what they are. Yes many many people will be suckered into this and many already have been. But I do believe that humanity is much stronger than these people realise. You can brainwash some teenagers with some social media influencers or however the fuck they’ve done it, but we’ve been around for hundreds of thousands of years and we will prevail over these cancerous little fucks I’m sure.
“I started to see how and why Bret Weinstein got into hot water at Evergreen. They made me feel like an arcane conservative for expressing the most basic and obvious truths.”
Welcome to the western Cultural Revolution.
“And a race/trans/gender/culture war is much better for the technocrats and financial bosses than a class war, which would see their heads on pikes in very short order.”
Class war was waged vigorously and enthusiastically for a century prior to the collapse of the state socialist model in the late C20th. It didn’t work then. Why should it work this time?
Class hatred has led to societies every bit as mass murderously totalitarian as race-hatred and religious intolerance ever did.
It was a simple class war then. Now it’s a concerted effort to transform humanity by numerous coordinated, confrontational means.
Yes, trying to negotiate this minefield too.
My teenagers have had to learn to survive in two worlds, mine which hopefuly revolves around observation, rational deduction and old science, and that in the schools which promote the new scientific way of little factual content and only approved beliefs. Interesting encounter with one of their friends who was struggling with understanding science homework. Gave potted summary of underlying principles, sprinkled with a few examples to illustrate various chemical properties. Child had clearly never heard any of this fundamental knowledge, from a teacher, ever. I knew things were bad, but hadn’t realised quite how fact-free school science had become.
Debating societies in schools seem to have died out, too, I guess it is too risky to have two sides to a debate nowadays. That will be next term’s mission, mwah haha ……
My eldest, a millennial (and everything that goes with that) has taken another route. She’s a magical thinker, believes in astrology, describes herself as religious and says she prays everyday. She believes in manifesting your own reality, purifying toxins from your body and evil spirits. Although this should be anathema to me as an erstwhile rationalist, I’m actually supportive of it. I used to scoff at magical thinking and believe I was an enlightened scientific thinker. The last two years has demonstrated where scientific thinking gets us. I was listening to Mattias Desmet being interviewed yesterday and his thesis is that it is mechanistic enlightenment thinking that lead to the ‘free floating anxiety’ that made the covid ‘mass formation’ possible. And he also said that all of the great scientific minds of the 20th century arrived at the end of their lives with the position that language ‘could only be used for poetry’ – in other words don’t bother trying to explain reality, just write poems about it. That’s what my daughter seems to be doing and I’m up for that now. So it’s possible that the millennials will confound expectations and become wizards and witches rather that the lobotomised transhuman drones we suspect they will. I’d rather live amongst witches than drones.
“When a man stops believing in God,” said GK Chesterton, “he doesn’t then believe in nothing, he believes anything.”
There was a saying, there are more things in heaven and earth than ever came out of a bottle….
The free floating anxiety has permeated through a large section of the population, but particularly in the under 30s. They seem to have no anchor in reality, their social activities just seem to leave them even more anxious. In my day we went to the pub to talk, no background music, relaxing place to have discussions that could be serious or banter. Nowadays a pub is a raucous high stress noisy environment, where’s the relaxation, the connection with others? No-one is actually fully “there” any more, in the moment, the real world has become merely a backdrop for the virtual existence.
After a lifetime of atheism, my old man turned to religion after my Mum died. I understood why when I thought about it.
Whilst the ‘scientist’s’ among us preach that there is no scientific evidence of God, science itself is required to be wrong.
Science only ever produces falsifiable theories, never absolute fact. Religion is therefore a theory which remains to be falsified.
Numerous scientists are religious.
I have been saying this for years. Children are naturally rebellious. They can be indoctrinated with climate and trans nonsense, but eventually they will rebel against conformist dogma, which climate change and trans etc. teachings will eventually be.
I echo your thoughts. My young religious certainties are definitely not so certain.
Better move to Pendle Hill then.
Yes a terrible cancerous growth has appeared and it infects all levels of society; I’m unsure whether this is a global phenomenon or just in the west. I do get the very strong impression that we are living in a dying civilisation.
We are going through a time some would hope is equivalent to the enlightenment.
Except that, the enlightenment evolved spontaneously, it wasn’t designed.
What we are now facing is people who imagine they are clever enough to manage a new dawn.
It won’t end well.
No it won’t end well. But I was listening to the brilliant Neil Oliver yesterday and he made a really good point: the industrial scale atrocities of the 20th century were carried out by people who themselves had witnessed earlier horrors. The survivors of WW1 became the perpetrators of WW2 etc. This lot have never seen horror, so do they really have it in them to take their sick fantasies to their logical conclusion? I doubt it. Maybe that’s why they backed out of the covid scam?
The people who ordered the atrocities of WW1 weren’t the ones to actually conduct them. They were invariably younger recruits who enjoyed the sadistic pleasures of making people scream.
Have no doubts, there are lots just itching to be recruited to inflict pain on others.
Some friends came down with their 12 year old granddaughter to stay with us last weekend. Her grandmother mentioned that she had discovered that the child couldn’t remember the order of the months of the year. She was utterly appalled. The child is not particularly bright, but you’d think that information would have been drummed into her skull by that age. It was an eyeopener to us all. They were totally embarrassed by it. You wonder what the hell they DO teach them.
Gender is a linguistic (grammatical) concept – masculine vs feminine vs neuter, animate vs inanimate. Sex is a biological concept. There are only two sexes, with a small number of anomalies. That these “teenager viewpoints” are incapable of grasping this simple concept is quite telling.
It’s very telling and I was taken aback by it even though I knew fully about the mass indoctrination going on for some years now. These were intelligent and thoughtful kids (the kind of kids who join a debating society!) but their world and self view is seriously messed up. I have to take my hat off to the people who did this. It’s wickedly ingenious to feed this to young people as their politics, and thus prevent them from being actually politically minded. Bravo, the New World Order!
Personally, I laugh my way through discussions like these with our youth and am at pains to humiliate them.
Whereas I gently try to put across to them that they’ve been had, and try to pull them on to the side of truth!
Classic divide and conquer, except in this case the object of the exercise is to increase the permutations on the denominator with all this gender bollocks to create as many small groups to attack as possible
It’s the most devious form of it ever devised.
Not altogether off at a tangent: I just bought something using Paypal and at “click to pay” time was asked whether I would like to make a donation to the LGBT Foundation Ltd.
Seriously, can’t gays get on and do whatever they like to do with each other without trying to tap me for money to pay them?
Yep: getting to be like buying a bottle of wine at Adnam’s!
Corporates now part of the “Stakeholder Capitalist” Ruling Elites project as planned by Lynne R. ( helps take what little responsibility is left off politicians who are just left to strut about, front the ‘current thing” and clean up!
Currently this is starving the plebs and wrecking their lives, mass jabbing, busting the economy with paper money, poking the Russian bear and of course the “Great Reset” ( by appointment to HRH the POW).
Never give to charity!
Charities have now been employed by governments as lobby groups. When a government wants support, it simply picks the charity it has funded for that purpose.
It’s also a money making scam. It’s known only a fraction of contributions reach the subject of the charity, having paid innumerable office and support staff their salaries, and corrupt government officials their cut along the way.
The more you give, the more people they can employ, and the better the unemployment figures look.
With the exception of the RNLI
Never give money to charities.
You’re a massive homophobic fascist if you won’t turn your pockets out for the cause!
Ah! but what if you have blue eyes?
Then you are probably an Aryan, and hence racist….
A friend of mine works for the local housing association. Now, this is about 15 years ago, but for some time he spent almost more time on training courses than at work! And in those times it was classroom, with sandwich lunch, and sometimes even at a nice conference centre!
At least our tax money is not being wasted on this anymore, with it all being online.
Isn’t it ironic that the mentally ill and their enablers cannot define ‘woman’ yet want to ‘transition’/enable those who want to ‘transition’ into something they cannot define. One feels compelled to ask: Then how do you know you are a woman if you cannot even define what it is that makes a woman a woman?
The position is self-defeating on every level.
Regarding ‘gender’ and ‘gender fluidity,’ it is objectively the case that a biological male cannot be a female (and vice versa), that ‘gender’ deals with certain traits within the binary framework of male and female, can only be understood within this binary context, and thus cannot be broadened in a non-arbitrary fashion, nor can it be separated from sex. ‘Gender’ is thus parasitic on the binary framework, without which it would have no existence as a concept.
To attempt to ‘broaden’ ‘gender’ can only result in arbitrariness and a conflict with reality.
Of course, the only place where you see transgenderism is in the Royal Navy and the MoD. All ships are female but some clearly identify as male, e.g. HMS Prince of Wales or HMS Hermes.
The old type 23 frigates were all named after Dukes!
Most are still in service, some with the Chilean navy.
“Old” being relative. They were new when my company was involved with EH101 in the 1990’s which was to be located on the Type 23, not sure of the projected lifetime of the Type 23.
This Emma needs to put herself on an idiot scale – which we need to extend the scale to cope with her – and then she can work out which days she doesn’t wake up with an idiotic thoughts.
Every managaer above middle layers, sack them.
Won’t happen because this current government is corrupt, weak, and doesn’t care about anything except how much swill they get in their trough.
Sorry? Who is going to sack them? The politicians can’t – they are NOT in charge of the Civil Service.
The Civil Service is meant to be independent, and answerable to it’s own managers. They are the woke people driving this idiocy – and they are independent – there is no one in charge of them.
Obviously this dragging things into the sewer is horrible and it is noble to care about one’s culture but this battle was lost a hundred years ago. There was an afterglow for fifty years after that and then copius CIA mind control drugs and influences. We are here and the situation is a dire one and the threats that we face would rather that we were distracted by transgender bathrooms. These endless discussions about ‘culture wars’ are utterly futile and in my experience they are conducted by people who find this a convenient way of avoiding discussion of higher more pressing matters.
There are men, women and mentally ill people.
That is it.
If you are a man and you think you are a woman you are mentally ill.
If you are a man and believe you are Napoleon, a badger or a space alien you are mentally ill.
I’m personally convinced that homosexuality is a form of mental illness but the perverts in the ruling class like to take a sausage up the bum so they legalised that one.
All the rest of the sex based mental illness being mainstreamed was only a matter of time following the legalisation of homo mental illness.
Obsessions with sexuality and androgyny are a sign of the end of cultures. Don’t be alarmed. It isn’t as if there is any surprise when it comes to the grim prognosis about the West. Our culture will pass away but we won’t. Like Jesus said, heaven and earth shall pass away but my kingdom shall not pass away.
Cultural Marxism at the farm,sowing lies and seeding discontent and confusion, the insult all taxpayer funded, but why?.
Answer, retrench, slash big government, bin HR departments across the civil service, defund, de unionize and end this mind bleed insanity.
This all stems from the homo revolution.
The homos won everything they wanted and all the parasite ruling classes know this, they also know that anyone resisting the homos had their careers damaged if not destroyed.
So the parasites see these new perverts and they are betting that they will win everything that they want as well, so rather than standing up and resisting they are cheer leading because they think to do so will help their careers.
The ruling parasites will champion any form of sexual degeneration, nothing is off limits to them.
Sadly the voting public are so f~~king dense they will keep voting for them no matter what.
Why can’t we have a black transgender queen? Preferably a lady wiith one arm who likes to weave baskets.
It is nice to have an environment where everyone feels welcome but this is just a smokescreen. Hannah Arendt commented, almost a hundred years ago that the British civil service tests not for ability but for compliance. Just be clear about the nature of reality.
It isn’t anything unusual. When I was a student we had a gay guy who would drill holes in the walls of toilets and then when you were squatting down he would push his penis through. I never hated him because that was his drive. But he never went on to make a big political point of it.
I hope you whacked him on the bell end with the toilet brush (preferably hard bristle).
👍👍👍
There is still some hope for humanity. I just watched the start of the Hungary v England game, where Hungarian adults have to take 10 kids with them to be allowed in as some sort of punishment for not being woke a few games ago.
Hungary did not take the knee, England did, all the kids booed and the knee taking was abruptly cut short.
Go on Hungary, you make me proud!
“Taking the Knee” – are they really still doing this?
Yes! The woke pundits just had a little half time whinge about it
“Apparently we are being told some Hungarian children booed the England players taking the knee”
Of course they’re all shaking their heads in disgust and completely missing the point!
These people are so indoctrinated that they think if you object to ‘taking the knee’ you must be opposed to the fair and equal treatment of black people. It simply doesn’t occur to these lunatics that it is the very idea that black people are treated unfairly that is in question. It is one big question-begging exercise. It is assumed, without so much as a paragraph of argumentation, that black people suffer from unfair treatment in a systemic sense, and the whole tawdry spectacle of bending the knee for a contrived problem continues unabated, and we embarrass ourselves a bit more as a society and nation every time this absurd, demeaning ritual takes place.
Exactly. And according to the first rule of wokery, if you do not agree with them and their taking the knee, then you must automatically be racist.
Will they ever learn that you can’t MAKE somebody think something?
Racism – objecting to your race being replaced by other races in your own homeland.
Racism is a crime that only white Europeans can commit.
Southgate’s official response was “I can’t believe anybody would boo, why would anybody think that way? These children are too young to think that for themselves so they’re being influenced by others”
The irony completely lost on the woke clown!
Children objecting to an exhibition of racism?
How dare they!
it is interesting that southgate and co are criticising fans from another country, at the end of the day hungry is a sovereign country and as such can boo if they wish. Booing in itself is not racist and is pretty common sound at sporting events. After all, when footballers tried the knee bending at Millwall they also got booed as well.
You have never lived in Asia and observed the ‘racism’ directed at the Chinese and/or Japanese by all other races out there
We’ve now got the two female presenters (it is C4 after all) wanting to talk to Southgate about the kids booing issue. I don’t think the penny is ever going to drop with these arseholes
Rugby has largely dropped knee taking, not that it was popular anyway, the Irish lads refused point blank to kneel.
Maro Itoje has recently announced he would no longer sing Sweet Chariot because of it’s racist underpinnings.
In other words, he’s sung it for the last 15 years without bothering to consider the lyrics, and it’s done him no harm whatsoever as he’s a regular England player (arguably one of the very best).
F’kin dickheads, the lot of them – virtue signalling sportsmen in this instance.
I wish football would follow suit. I see sport as many generations before me have, as a form of escapism from the shite we deal with in our daily lives. If you mix politics and sport, you just get politics so leave it out of sport!
I do hope that they all have the number plates with green flashes on their sponsor provided cars? All the better to VS when out and about amongst us morons.
Mothers and Fathers
A few months ago I was out planting trees and a friend of mine who was working with us and who was about 6 months pregnant at the time, suddenly lost her sight in one eye. She is now a few weeks of the birth and has still only partially recovered her sight in that eye. There are worries that this eye problem could be a sign of potential pre-eclampsia. She remains in remarkably high spirits but we are all very worried for her and hoping that indeed it all works out OK.
Never mind all the tosh and balderdash about whether you feel womanly or manly?
Never mind whether you paint your nails or wear a skirt or trousers.
Being a woman is being that side of humanity that my friend is in, suffering the problems of a difficult pregnancy. Nobody born male will ever be in that position.
Being male is looking after and caring for the women-folk who are valiantly bringing the next generation into this world and need all the care and support we can give them.
Never mind defining male or female; woman or man;
The essential issue is;
MOTHERS & FATHERS
As men we are in total agreement, but we are not allowed to provide for and care for our women as that is considered sexist, fascist and demeaning.
My stance is, suit yourself!
History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire..
interesting comparison if time and technology adjusted.
This week my local KFC has suddenly gone all LGBTQ+, and I suspect this affects other fast food outlets. The exhortations are overlaid on the muzak, trumpeting their support for and partnership deals with LGBT+ Limited. The staff haven’t a clue about how we got to this position, and I am not much more clued up. When I go into a KFC it’s because I want a bloomin’ chicken burger, not a word salad. The staff just want to serve me and take their wages, not participate in a fringe political movement which has radicalised a minority support group. This practice has diffused over from arts events; it’s almost impossible to fund, stage or attend any event these days unless it the event is arranged in partnership with BLM, LGBTQ+ or the Ukrainian Army, with logos and flags to match.
virtue signalling businesses are a pathetic sight, it would be interesting to note how many of these business operate in countries where being gay etc is either illegal or highly discouraged, in which case ethics mean zero when it comes to taking profits.
Why is a KFC like a woman? Because when you’re finished with the thighs and the breasts there’s a greasy box to throw your bone in
OMG 🤭
Transgenderism is simply a manifestation of body dysmorphia. It’s the same issue, with most of the same root causes, as anorexia. The crucial difference being that if we had a highly influential lobby, funded by government and applauded by the media, telling girls to starve themselves because their bodies are wrong and that is why they are unhappy, and providing stomach stapling on the NHS and applauding their brave choice to become unhealthily emaciated, we would all think the world had gone mad.
Watching the Jubilee concert in front of Buckingham Palace. AWESOME. The sheer talent we have in this country. INCREDIBLE. Music and sport is what unites us.
WHY are we allowing a power crazed elite to break it, break us? We CANNOT allow it. Can we stop it? YES WE CAN!!
Don’t stop spreading the truth.
I’m happy to be called a conspiracy theorist, nutter, tin foil hat wearer, if it changes ONE mind and WE ALL change ONE mind, we can turn the tide.
Let’s do it people. We are INDOMITABLE.
Apart from the Green propaganda, its been amazing, the Paddington bit was genius
Oh GOD!! You are SO right. Talk about priming for Phase Two Of the Great ReSchit. Oh…sorry…typo… you know what I mean…
LOVED the Paddington bit.
It was fucking horrendous. About 80% of acts were black and we had old Dicky A reminding us our planet is fucked. A real woke wankathon and nothing to do with the Queen.
Not about ‘a real woke wankathon.’
About the things that unite us like sport and music.
Like talent that makes these things globally awesome.
This is the point you’ve clearly missed in your purple mist.
You would do well to remember that being angry is like holding hot coals in your hand with the intent of hurling them at the object of your hate!
Who are you hurting mate?
Anger and hate ain’t gonna solve anything.
Most of the acts were black. All of the shite acts were black (except Rod Stewart who needs to just call it a day). Explain
Not that I NEED to explain. It’s your choice to educate yourself. However, in this instance I will indulge you because I haven’t quite finished my wine!
Enjoy. IF you can manage to watch the whole episode.

I got bored after 2 minutes when they were separated on eye colour. No niggers have blue eyes and the UK/wokery is all about pushing niggers as supreme
As was the Jubilee concert
Ooops my bad. Thought I was dealing with an adult!
Woke? But surely BJ’s government have got to promote their “British values” somehow?
Anyway, someone told me that white people who have black hair have some “black” ancestry way back, and that there are black Jews in Zimbabwe.
Talent?? Elton John and Diana Ross looking like excellent examples of the embalmer’s art?!! You’re ‘avin a larf
The irony!
“Science” was the “wokeness” of the 16th century that since that time and especially since the beginning of the epoch of mass anti-communication has expanded aggressively, establishing a “Don’t you dare criticise my attitude!” position in a large number of (albeit mostly male) minds.
That said, this is a mindf*ck – and no mere linguistic response, however well thought out and sane, is going to solve the issue and smell completely of roses. It’s easy to point out that “talking graphs to power” isn’t the solution, but, to be fair, making such an observation doesn’t itself provide a solution either. Nor is there a “meta” road. We need a revolution that is beyond language. OK, I said that using language but we need to say it using more than language.
Argh!
We live in evil and irrational times, a time of open state sponsored satanism. One of the biggest tasks of satanism is to pervert the minds of people, the younger the better.
As christianity decreases gradually, paganism increases gradually and with paganism comes the law of the jungle and all sorts of abominations and perversion, there is no right or wrong in it, there is no measure for anything.
Who is funding the ‘workshop?’
Us, the mugs called taxpayers
Years and years of Conservative governments and this tide of BS has just grown ever stronger.
When will the British public get the chance to vote for a truly right of centre government?
The Government could stop this lunatic propaganda. But it won’t.
I am afraid I am of the old school thinking, where there were men and women and nothing in between and I can’t get my head around all of the weird terms now, to describe what the gender of this person is over that one. In simple language, having to ask a person of undefined sex, if they have a period every month, to establish what they are, is confusing to me, because even if they get a period, or they don’t, they may think they are male, or something in between, or female – and how can you address that and how does it relate to how you might communicate with them on a level playing field where their sexual basis may not be compatible with yours?
I now refuse to answer form questions re “gender” and simply note that there is no scientific evidence that “gender” exists as separate from “sex”, and that as far as I am concerned it remains what it always was, a grammatical term. I then note that my SEX is male.
Just say no. Or “fuck off”, if that feels better 🙂
All to promote divide and rule.
Total rubbish, sack those that waste tax payers money on this nonsense!
