"But If You Fancy It, Just Be Someone Else Instead..."

Strange way to 'love the game' by playing in a category you know full well you don't belong in. 

Predictably, the cult members are up in arms at what they perceive as unfair criticism, claiming - like chess and other non-physical sports - that he has no competitive advantage over a real woman, but is that the point, he's still taking away the chance for a woman to have a place by co,peting in the wrong category, isn't he?

Now Do All The Other Organisations....

....because they are all at it!
Arts Council England has been accused of abandoning artistic excellence in favour of bureaucratic box-ticking after a damning review found it was attempting to 'change society' rather than support great art.

It's hardly the only institution to have been captured, is it? We know the Left's MO, don't we? 

1. Identify a respected institution.

2. kill it. 

3. gut it. 

4. wear its carcass as a skin suit, while demanding respect.;

The watchdog, which hands out more than £450million a year in public funding, came under fire in a report by Baroness Hodge, the former Labour culture minister, who was asked to examine how the quango distributes its money. Baroness Hodge wrote that she felt the initiative led to organisations feeling forced to 'tick all the ACE boxes to secure funding', and suggested the strategy be replaced with 'a new, less prescriptive' model. Her review concluded that the organisation had drifted away from its founding purpose, with evidence suggesting that art itself had been pushed into the background.

That was the point of it, Hodge.

A Dreadful Familiarity...

That's what struck me about the Bondi Beach terrorist massacre, as I read about it over brerakfast in York at the weekend. All the hallmarks we have come to expect fromn the attack itself to the aftermath and the authorities scrambling to excuse their own part in allowing it to happen...
The alleged gunmen were a 50-year-old, who was shot by police and died at the scene, and his 24-year-old son, who suffered critical injuries and was taken to hospital under police guard where he remained on Tuesday. The 24-year-old was in a coma but regained consciousness on Tuesday, NSW police confirmed. Media have identified them as Naveed Akram and his father, Sajid Akram. Naveed Akram is an Australian-born citizen, the home affairs minister, Tony Burke, said. His father arrived in 1998 on a student visa, transferred in 2001 to a partner visa and, after trips overseas, had been on resident return visas three times. The prime minister, Anthony Albanese, said the son first came to the attention of the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation (Asio) in October 2019. He was examined “on the basis of being associated with others”. New South Wales police and the director general of Asio, Mike Burgess, said one of the shooters was known to authorities, “but not in an immediate threat perspective”.
Muslims, taken in by a country and repaying it with slaughter, coming to the notice of the authorities but crucially, never enough enough notice to prevent their murderous hatred from finding expression, bevause of that peculiar sensitivity rtowards this murderous cult that infests every Western government. And then the police, arriving too late to do any good, as always. Ah, yes, the police:
 

As if that's supposed to help...
Some witnesses have suggested police were too slow to disarm the two gunmen, who killed 15 people and injured dozens in Australia's most famous beach on Sunday. "There are two officers in critical care... at the moment," Chris Minns said after sustained questioning from reporters. "They weren't shot in the back as they were running away. They were shot in the front."

The point being they shouldn't have been shot at all. Aren't we always told we have no need to protect ourselves, because a paid and professional force stands ready to do it for us? Yet how often it seems that's worse than useless when it comes to the crunch.

Well, Rev, You Know What They Say Happens When You Assume

Letters in tthe 'Guardian' can be illuminating. Here's one from Rev Dr Michael Fox:
Twenty years ago, while making a documentary on politics for the Open University, I interviewed a group of 15-year-olds at a school in Moss Side, Manchester. The school had selected a mixed group of children, half identifying as white British, half as second-generation immigrant. Against my expectations, when discussing immigration, the children of immigrants strongly expressed views similar to those now espoused by Ms Mahmood. “The country is full,” one of them said. I assumed at the time that the children were reflecting the views and language of their parents, with such factors in play as a desire to “fit in” their host country and to identify with the perceived values of their neighbours, a kind of “self-othering” as a natural response to the trauma of migration. Conversely, the white British children were open and accepting of immigrants.

Oh dear, how awkward, Rev! But why, apart from the obvious, did you assume it would be different? 

As a (non-Conservative) son-in-law of a former Conservative home secretary, the late Robert Carr, who took the decision to admit refugees from Idi Amin’s Uganda in 1972, I have always found it unthinkable that some more recent Tory holders of that office have abandoned the compassion he personified in favour of a “drawbridge” mentality.

A drawbridge is something you pull up when you're under attack, Rev...

A Warning, If You're Considering Donating Your Body To Medical Science...

 ...which my father did, and his father befote him. It's well handled, the service they throw every year for the relatives to attend is very thankful, and you have the warm feeling that you are in some way helping medical science make advances.

Well, think again:


Yes, this is the US, but who'd want to bet some Dr Frankenstein isn't trying the same thing over here. So uncle Frank's cadaver may not be training the next intake of lifesaving A&E surgeons after all, but rather assisting an NHS plastic surgeon to make uncle Arthur a more superficially authentic 'woman'.

The Only Surprise Here Is It's Not The Met!

 If you were asked, it would be a toss up between the Met or the WMP, the two worst police forces in the land:

A police chief has been told to go back to Parliament amid claims he provided 'shoddy evidence' while explaining the decision behind a ban on Maccabi Tel Aviv fans attending an Aston Villa match last month.
The Home Affairs Select Committee has written to West Midlands Chief Constable Craig Guildford to provide 'further evidence' amid claims he misled MPs when he appeared in front of the committee on December 1. 
Daily Mail understands it is the first time a Chief Constable has been recalled to Parliament in this way.
You'd think they'd be more competent liars, at least wouldn't you? Or is it all just a publicity stunt?

Ruining Every Aspect Of The Justice System...

 ...that seems to be David Lamentable's real goal:

Childhood criminal records could be wiped under plans being considered by David Lammy. The Justice Secretary is considering simplifying the current system to prevent people from being affected by petty crimes in later life. It comes after evidence showed that people in their 50s, 60s, and 70s still had offences of street fighting and bike thefts in their youth disclosed to employers.

So not content with plans to ensure the safeguard of a jury of your peers isn't available to you in the future, he wants to ensure that employers can't avoid hiring people they wouldn't hire if they knew their background? 

Rachel de Souza, the Children's Commissioner, previously said judges should have the power to wipe criminal records of people who had 'done their time' for silly crimes committed as a child. Last year a 13-year-old girl admitted to threatening violent behaviour after she kicked a glass door at an asylum hotel. The offence will stay on her record for life and will be disclosed if she works in a job with children.

As it should be, no doubt. In modern Britain, being less than welcoming of the new Predator Classes is the greatest crime of all, isn't it? So much so that the filth will hunt YOU down if you object too strongly:.

Tell Us Again How Diverse Students Are The Key To The NHS, Labour...

 ...we need to keep hearing it as the evidence against mounts up and up:

A newly qualified doctor who pocketed £10,000 in benefits while studying medicine has been suspended from treating patients. Dr Ramkali Kaur, 28, illegally claimed housing benefit, income support and carer's allowance for two years while completing her five-year degree at Queen Mary University of London.

And when she was caugght bang to rights, she simply hastily donned the Cloak of Victimhood!

She later lied about the fraud to a senior consultant and attempted to shift the blame onto an 'overbearing' female relative, alleging the woman promised to cancel her welfare claims but instead let them run on and even intercepted her post.

Yeah, yeah, tell us another one… 

A Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service panel has now found her guilty of misconduct and suspended her for four months, despite her protestations that she had been the victim of family pressure and financial hardship.
In her evidence, Kaur told of her upbringing in a deprived area of Birmingham and how she had been the only one in her family to be accepted into a 'prestigious and highly competitive' Grammar School.

A ‘deprived’ area, eh? 

For the GMC Ms Lousie Cowen said: 'Dr Kaur's conduct was of a repeated nature and showed a reckless disregard for professional standards. Her dishonesty was significant and she has provided only limited evidence of remediation, having not attended any courses on probity.'

Would any courses have workedon someone like this anyway? 

But Kaur's counsel Mr Andrew Faux said: 'This is a young doctor from very challenging background who has clearly made mistakes and had to grow up very quickly in the face of those mistakes.She then put her head in the sand and hoped things would go away, a response that continued through until the meeting in October 2022. The risk of Dr Kaur repeating her actions is low.''

Just the sort of attitude you want in a doctor - just ignore reality and ir'll go away!
