“‘Shame on you!’ Furious bystanders heckle Met chief Mark Rowley”
How is it Mark Rowley’s fault, when Jewish communities all over the West have their own Jewish “Volunteer Vigilantes” security forces called “Shomrim” to protect them? If ordinary British people tried to organize groups like this, they would be arrested for “extremism” or called “far right Nazis”. Instead, we are forced to fund Jewish protection forces, while punished and prevented if we try to organize our own!

“This isn’t just a crisis for British Jews. It’s a crisis for Britain”
No, it isn’t a crisis for Britain. Mass Third World Invasion is a crisis for Britain, and for every Western nation.
“Lord Hermer ‘committed treason’ with witch hunt against British troops”
Tom Tugendhat is absolutely right. The crime of treason in British law, treasonously removed by treasonous Blair, must be re-instated and Hermer & Cronies charged.
“Behavioural scientists have been allowed to shape climate and public health policy to a degree that represents one of the defining institutional mistakes of the century, argues John Ridgway”
it was NOT a mistake. It was wilful. Cameron-Clegg formalised and expanded a programme which, so far as we know, had been dormant before. They explicitly intended to change the political debate in their leftist, globalist, state control way.
it has continued to grow.
I am in two minds whether a Reform administration should immediately abolish it or should it give another five years during which the brain washers can undo some of the damage they have caused.
“Two thirds of UK teenagers to have mental health problem by 2030”
Is it something to do with the schooling they get?
So they’ll be in a majority. This means it will be abnormal to not have a ‘mental health problem’. It will be normal.
The formerly aggressive question: What’s your problem? will become a polite opening for conversation.
A natural ignorance of arithmetic or reading used to be considered problems that we sought to educate out of children. It’s about time we took the same approach to other ‘problems’.
No, it’s something to do with all the MONEY & FREE STUFF they get, and their mothers get, and the Never-Having-to-Get-a-Job permission they get, and the “You-Can-Commit-As-Many-Crimes-As-You-Want-And-Not-Be-Punished permission they get.
This man isn’t getting nearly enough exposure, despite the fact he’s intent on exposing himself to the max. Well, his massive silicone bangers, anyway. I wonder if a female lecturer came to work with a ginormous dildo hiding in plain sight underneath her skirt would get the same level of tolerance and affirmation. What Oxford Uni is doing is enabling a man whose hobby is autogynephilia to publicly broadcast his fetish and expect everyone around him to play a supporting role in his degenerate fantasy.
The irony is that even a woman shouldn’t be allowed to wear a neckline that low for work because surely an appropriate dress code and levels of professionalism ought to be adhered to at all times. Oxford Uni, shame on you. You’re quite rightly a laughing stock;
”Cross-dressing men are a cultural litmus test for tolerance: very funny when we are free to laugh at them, and bloody terrifying when we are not.
Oxford University biochemist Matt Rattley is the sort of man in a dress we are not supposed to snigger at. A tutor at the proudly inclusive St Hilda’s College, Oxford, he takes ‘bringing his whole self to work’ several cup sizes further,… Read more »
I reckon he’s doing it because he can, and he’s deliberately taking it to the absurd to illustrate a point (or 2 points, if you want to be pedantic).
Shades of Kayla Lemieux, the Canadian teacher with size Z prosthetics who, it turns out, was holding the campus authorities up to ridicule.
I wonder if he was the inspiration for Mr Rattley, perhaps? The resulting paralysis of the administration, this has caused, certainly seems similar…
Yes, I was minded of that Canadian teacher dude as well, and I also thought it must be a prank to showcase how ridiculously woke the school was in allowing him to go on like that. However, I think many people based this idea on assumptions and I’m not sure he ever went on record to confirm what his motivations were. Somebody else was asking that and this is what Grok said, but I’m assuming Mr Rattley’s motivation for behaving this way is because he’s an attention-seeking autogyneaphile perv, until proven otherwise;
”Kayla Lemieux (now Kerry Lemieux) wore the large prosthetic breasts and female presentation only at school. Outside, including neighborhood walks, the person presented as male without them.
There’s no confirmed evidence it was a prank to “prove a point” or mock the school board. That’s an unverified rumor from anonymous online claims (e.g., 4chan/student speculation). Lemieux has consistently claimed the breasts were real due to a medical condition (gigantomastia) and denied being transgender or wearing prosthetics. NY Post/Toronto Sun reports only confirm the selective presentation at school vs. male outside it.
Lemieux is not still doing this. Reports from 2023 onward (NY Post, Toronto Sun) show he dropped… Read more »
Further confirmation that diversity is more weakness than strength, from woke Canada
( 2mins );
”A leaked Canadian military report is a warning to the entire Western world. A platoon that was 83% permanent residents devolved into ethnic infighting, showed open contempt for authority, and more than half failed basic training. But remember… diversity is our strength.”
