How Travelodge in Maidenhead gave sex attacker key to woman's room The woman, who woke to find Kyran Smith sexually assaulting her, branded a Β£30 reward offer

Jfc! Hotels need to fully step up to protect women guests, it's always so freaking vulnerable travelling alone. The way Travelodge have dealt with this is criminal. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

While I am against the prison industrial complex, and while I strongly believe societies should be judged by how they treat those who most harm the society itself, and that prison as a state body should be somewhere all bodies are safe... however, I won't shed tears over this news.

Join Cats Protection's call for cat breeding to be regulated across the UK Since 2021, cat breeding has been regulated in Scotland but the rest of the UK has no restrictions. This can lead to cats and kittens being sold by unscrupulous sellers, looking to make a quick profit...

I am never not in love with this beautiful city, from the minute I saw it.

As Mark Steel said, "Yes, gay Jews and female plumbers are well known to be supported by sectarian groups like al Qaeda and the Taliban. Just go to Afghanistan and you can't move for female plumbers."

β€˜How can I start again at 68?’ Maria has spent 50 years in the UK – and is fighting deportation She left the Netherlands for Britain in the 1970s at just 17. Now, after receiving a short suspended sentence, she faces removal to a country she hasn’t lived in for five decades or visited since 1999

How can deporting this poor woman (a carer) that has called the UK home for 50 years "be conducive to the public good,” or "in the public interest" ?
Our toxic Home Office strikes again.

Kansas has, overnight, invalidated the drivers’ licenses of trans people, a pointless cruelty that upends their lives

If Brits think β€œit won’t happen here” think again! Groups in the U.K. who want the same thing are routinely invited to consult with Labour and normalised in our press!

1. Numerous transgender people in Kansas are reporting that the state has sent them a letter demanding the immediate surrender of drivers licenses.

Those driving could be arrested, charged, and see privileges revoked.

"To be released"!?? Yes, literally makes it sound like they've been breeding them in a wildlife detention centre.

Absolutely, vote Labour for normative gender compliance for everyone and no trans people at all. Weird, scary shit wrapped up in safeguarding policy speak.

Here's the thing: I do some event planning at my job. I am literally organizing seating for our 500 person gala right fucking now.

Putting a man with a disability where he loudly calls out curse words and slurs *next to a microphone* does not happen accidentally. No fucking way.

Every broadcaster cutting every mention of β€œFree Palestine”, leading to everyone talking about it. Just seems counterproductive even to their weird objectives

Some children may indeed grow up to be trans men or trans women or gender diverse people of all rainbow coloured stripes and so what!

We should all be gender questioning!

25.02.2026 15:14 πŸ‘ 20 πŸ” 2 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

Being "gender questioning" is a natural state for young children & a perfectly normal response to a weird binary system that has rules over clothes, colours, toys, ways of speaking or sitting or eating, jobs, pay, safety, hobbies...based on recorded sex at birth.

A child or teenager getting a short or long haircut, or wearing trousers or a skirt, or wearing makeup or not, is not a medical matter or a safeguarding risk to anyone, they do not need to be referred to the psychologist. Ffs. These so-called gender criticals aren't critical of gender at all!

The guidance also can't get through about five words at a time without citing Cass. It also says schools should refrain from uniform rules or activities that instil gender stereotypes. If that were so then most of the rest of their guidance is surely null & void.

"social transition" medicalising, pathologising term used in new govt guidance for schools, currently under consultation. Seems to be saying that a pupil wearing clothing, hairstyle or using a nickname considered for the 'opposite gender' is a dangerous medical matter & safeguarding risk, to all.

Himpathy for Andrew Windsor everywhere you look! Literally couldn't make it up. Poor Andrew, and he's a father you know, he has daughters ffs! Won't somebody think of them.
