The website of a gender critical group, Sex Matters, was blocked on a Great Western Railway train’s WiFi, with AI scanners flagging it for “terrorism and hate”. The Mail more.
Sex Matters, a self-described “human-rights organisation that campaigns for clarity on sex in law and policy”, campaigns for “easy and safe” conversations about what it calls “ordinary truth” biology.
But the group’s website was blocked on a Great Western Railway train “because it’s associated with the terrorism and hate category”, a page blocker said.
GWR said that the page was blocked because AI scanners had deemed it ‘adult’ content, likely due to the repetition of the word ‘sex’.
It was not clear why the page was flagged for “terrorism and hate”.
A GWR spokesperson told the Telegraph they have “asked [their] supplier to review the tagging of the site to ensure it has been correctly categorised”.
GWR has not confirmed whether the technology they use is set up to filter out gender-critical content.
Sex Matters is a group “informing public debate by undertaking research and analysis”.
According to their website, their vision is for an “easy and safe” way to speak about biological differences [between men and women] while respecting “belief in gender ideology”.
They argue “it has become dangerous to speak the truth” about biological sex and laws thereof are “unclear and misinterpreted”.
They also claim that “replacing” sex with “gender identity” in various institutions “undermines everyone’s human rights”.
But not all agree with the group’s aims. The People’s History Museum faced backlash and apologised after allowing the group to hold a board meeting on its premises in July.
Internet users called the group “hateful” and trans-exclusive, prompting the museum to say sorry.

Some questions I would like to be asked of Cummings today
1 Was the dictatorship aware of the dubious circumstances under which Drosten’s PCR paper was reviewed and published?
2 What is the false positive rate for the PCR test?
3 If you do not know the answer to 2 do you accept that at no point did the dictatorship ever know the true level of covid infections in the UK?
I’d like to hear from the authors of the pre-2020 pandemic response plan that was thrown in the bin
Even were the questions you pose asked, Cummings, no stranger to self-promotion and making up “the facts” to fit his narrative, appears not even on nodding terms with truth or candour. Answers, if any, would probably blame someone else.
And as much to the point: what number of cycles was used to determine positive cases??
According to the live blog published on YouTube by Channel4 News, very early in his testimony (at 09:56), “Cummings claims he is not a smart man”, and I’ve no doubt that he did this with the precise intention of avoiding specific technical questions like these. His testimony will almost certainly stick to “who said what to who and when”, where his testimony cannot easily be challenged..
Exactly the kind of question, clear, simple, and to the point, that no one in the main stream media ever asked.
Disturbing incident this morning
When I woke up there was a severed human head in my bed
There was a note attached which sad ‘Died of the Indian variant. Get vaccinated Matt’
I think it is some kind of message but from whom?
LOL – excellent!!
Next trip to LA, I’m going to pitch some movie ideas..
‘They cannot be serious’… even the most devout Covidians would surely take issue with that one??
‘Ratioed’ ? (Not a Twitter user)
More comments than likes. It’s generally a sign of disagreement.
90% then, thank you.
i didnt know either thank you .am enjoying the twitter comments very much
I’d love to know how anyone can claim lockdowns “had a very modest role in producing economic damage” when at a minimum all of hospitality + tourism has been closed down for most of the past year.
Because it depends how you calculate GDP. If you count dole money and “stimulus” freebies, as we do and presumably California does, then it looks as though “production” isn’t dropping much
Of course, this is patently nonsense, since those are explicitly covering up for the exact opposite of production. And yet economists claim that any money that the State can see changing hands represents productivity, because if they can see it, they can steal it.
A gross amount of government funny money being doled out in blue states has had the effect of keeping the workforce from working.
Because they lie for a living and deny reality, e.g. you can change your sex and men competing against women is equality.
My best guess is the people behind this report, are literally living in LaLa Land. Have they been to some of the poorer neighbourhoods, had a walk around and talked to business owners?
I suppose there is some small crumb of comfort in seeing and knowing that print media in the USA publish as much supine, biased, and just plain wrong bollocks, as do our own; bribed as they are with tens of millions of taxpayer money, disbursed for Government propaganda/advertising space.
The U.S. media is probably even worse than in the UK from what I’ve seen and heard over the last five years. Most of the news outlets are nothing more than the propaganda wing of the Democrat party.
But alternative media in the US is well established.
Noah Smith is the Neil Ferguson of economic commentary.
Never knowingly correct.
These people are masters in trying to look like they have an argument (hence all the charts and references), which is all the gullible that want to believe need to see.
every day I type ‘astrazeneca vaccine’ into google and then press ‘news’
usually all the articles are about how the rollout is going, how doctors are saying the side-effects are small etc
until today
every story is about deaths by stroke or bloodclot, especially younger people
Probably to get people onto the RNA trojan-horse.
I think AZ is just first. I’m not having a vaccine but if I did it would be AZ over the mRNA ones.
I think they are likely much of a muchness, but with AZ you get the added bonus of the adenovirus which can lead to short term autoimmune attack, as well as the other short and longer term risks of all of them resulting from the spike protein.
US post that worth considering before placing any faith in any of them.
glad you won’t either . i will never get any of them . i read the a z is also genetically engineered ,
no way . is gates, gates = poison alert ! no thanks
Venice Beach has always been a bit eclectic, which is what most love about it, but apparently it’s not doing too well at the moment.

The LA Times was an odd paper even when owned by the Chandlers. Now its just a rich guys vanity project. The rich guy is a medial bio-tech billionaire. Enough said. Like the San Francisco Chronicle the LA Times ceased being a serious newspaper about a decade ago. I’d put it in the same league as the Huffington Post as a source of real information.
The actual effect of the lockdown in LA has been catastrophic. The economy was very weak before 2020, the city has been losing well paying employment for more than a decade. Add to that out of control crime and a de-facto collapse of city government and its almost back to same level of social dysfunction as before the riots in 1992.
The lockdown turned a serious crisis into a real catastrophe.
The LA Times is the mouthpiece for the Woke Brigade in Los Angeles. It has been a propaganda rag of the worst sort throughout this whole affair. So, it is not surprising it would still be running narrative for the Covidian cultists in LA county. But, on the ground, people are under no illusions that this shit show has been a disaster for the state, and that our Winter death rate was among the highest in the world anyway. The very day after the CDC loosened its guidelines, the old normal has come right back, masks largely gone except in the most Covidian haunts … and this in spite of the Governor dragging his feat about ending the restrictions, now set for June 15.
