Dr. Shahrar Ali, the Green Party’s former Deputy Leader, is suing the party for discrimination over his views on biological sex. In her piece for UnHerd, Joan Smith explores the landmark legal case that brings the simmering tensions over free speech and gender issues within political parties to the fore. Here’s an excerpt:
How did the Greens become so focused on trans rights that they’ve ended up in court? The question is at the heart of a landmark action brought by the party’s former Deputy Leader, Dr. Shahrar Ali, which is being heard this week. In what is believed to be the first civil case of its kind, he is claiming he suffered discrimination, hostility and victimisation because of his belief in biological sex.
Ali was sacked last year as the Greens’ spokesman on Policing and Domestic Safety after he was accused of breaking the party’s code of conduct. He was told that his “decision to champion a highly controversial position in the trans rights debate” was incompatible with the role. His offence? Arguing that sex is immutable, an opinion shared by most human beings who have ever lived.
He even believes – pause for gasps of horror – that a woman is an adult human female, and issued a statement to that effect when he ran for leader three years ago. That such statements can be characterised as “highly controversial” demonstrates how radically opinion within political parties – beyond just the Greens – has shifted in little more than a decade. …
People can believe whatever they like, but Ali’s case highlights what he calls a “fanatical clampdown on legitimate debate”. There have always been factions and disagreements within political parties, but the hostility faced by members with gender-critical views is unprecedented. During the Labour leadership contest in 2020, most of the candidates signed a ‘pledge’ threatening members who hold ‘transphobic’ views with expulsion.

I wonder if David McGrogan will read this?
Obviously as a conspiracy realist my only conclusion is that the FDA and CDC clearly have something to hide.
I wonder what that might be?
Well, on speculation, there was clearly something amiss with the methodology used by Pfizer trials in particular, that caused half the trial participants to quit before finishing! Around 50% of the participants did not complete the trials. Why might this have been? If it was illness, then can it be dismissed as coincidence that as much as half of them were too ill to continue after receiving the jab? These volunteers were surely being paid to put their health at risk for an unknown drug, so they would have been financially incentivized to continue!
Furthermore, the placebo group ended up being given the mRNA shot anyway. Is it any wonder they’re compelled to withhold such ridiculous methodologies and details?
For one, 14 y/o Maddie de Garay’s life was destroyed by that trial. They said it was all in her head and refused to pay for her treatment, despite promises made on the consent form.
Her parents should be prosecuted for child abuse. What kind of parent – who doesn’t have a serious ill or dying child who just might benefit from an experimental product – would volunteer their child to be experimented on?

“In conclusion, the results suggest the existence of a batch-dependent safety signal for the BNT162b2 vaccine, and more studies are warranted to explore this preliminary observation and its consequences.”

“The FDA and Vaccine Manufacturers Still Refuse to Show Us Their Work”
Come on lads! What could they possibly have to hide?
Nothing at all….It will all be clear and transparent in 75 years time!
The mantra of bigpharme as regards ALL new drugsand genetic therapies ie the modified (not messenger RNA – that would not work as it would be destroyed by the immune system) MRNA jabs, they need to know the 3 D’s –
Dosage.
Distribution (as in where, how and why throughout the body).
Duration.
All were and still are, unknown.
I’ll add a 4th to the list of D’s-
Deadliness.
By God we badly need a whistleblower genetic engineer from high up the bigpharma food chain.
Why has this not happened yet, -fear of retribution, threats, being paid for omerta. or maybe they’re quite happy with their work…
Sock Puppet Sunak assures us the jabs are safe.
There’s no need for transparency; assured quality or any information about structure and molecular weight.
The entirely trustworthy midget WEF puppet and PM-with-no-mandate (no medical qualifications whatsoever, but his Mum was a Pharmacist don’cha know) has declared they’re OK.
What more reassurance could anyone want.
FDA not fit for purpose, and covering their arses and those of Big Pharma
