The roll call of the institutions who were going to ignore/wait it out is long and ignoble. It includes the Girl Guides whose remit is young women and girls. They allow boys to use female spaces including dormitories without informing the parents. Their stance is unlawful and begs many questions about safeguarding. https://www.gbnews.com/news/girlguiding-trans-supreme-court-gender-ruling
It remains to be seen if these institutions continue to act unlawfully or if they decide in face of clear guidance, that they were misled and will now obey the law as it has always been.
But I'm sorry to hear about the Birmingham strike. And very sorry to hear about the BTP and their failure to understand what biological sex means. The MET is even worse. Plain lying about it. I was glad to read the Reindorf article. And I agree with You about the medical procedures. I can only hope that Scotland and her schools learn the lesson that females are females.
I'm glad to see Reeves actions against Shein.
I should've known people would commit fraud when working at home.
The situation of America's defense industry is very awful. Good article by Michael Brown in Foreign Affairs about what it will take to fix it.
Paddy looks great, as always.
And, as always, TY for Your work. Another fine roundup of articles for us. TYTY, Michelle.
Paddy down at the pub....He seems a bit young! Lol. Great roundup up! It is more sad then funny to watch the institutions grapple with the FWS ruling. I cannot imagine being a young child and being forced to use unisex multi stall tolets. I really feel bad for those kids. It is really hard to stomach the continued denial of the violent messages from the trans community toward women. I still haven't gotten over Maria Mcloughlin having to call her assaulter "she" on the stand. It isn't like women in the UK have somehow been protected from violence by trans id'd men.
Enjoy your Spring! We are having a great week and the cats are soaking up the sun!
He enjoyed the pub, once we were sat outside. He made friends (briefly) with a terrier. The Twice Brewed Inn is actually v pleasant on a lovely Spring day. It can be a bit wind swept. It is just off Hadrian's Wall. They have their own brewery. https://twicebrewedinn.co.uk/
And continual denial of who is behaving badly does irk to put it mildly.
The institutions should have applied more common sense.
Obviously, the US trans movement has punched far above its weight, as their loud, persistent voices have cowered public officials and media into compliance. Survey graphs have shown that even with the recent spike in people (nearly always girls) deeming themselves trans, they constitute only 2% at most.
But seeing the lunacy in Britain, I wonder if the trans population is higher there. Or is it simply that the media and officials are even more the captives of DEI/wokeness?
Crazy demands from literal crazy people. But my fave was "A duty for the British Government to offer asylum to trans and nonbinary people from countries oppressing them, starting with the United States of America." This is a howler as the author of the list (not a mere signatory), one Ryan Castellucci, is a US ex-Pat! But, you can have him and I'd not oppose the emigration of others.
Yes it is the demands. People are saying that they should appear on the front page of every newspaper so that people can actually understand the craziness. Wasn't Willow Liquorice a signatory as well.
The UK is in deep self imposed shit that’s simply incomprehensible from the other side of the pond. I do understand that the exact same view of the US is probably felt by those overseas. What I simply don’t understand is the lack of freedom of speech, the kowtowing to Muslim immigrants and especially the seeming tolerance of the rape of your daughters. What the fuck has happened to the country of Shakespeare and Churchill? When will you show some pride in your long heritage?
SHort answer is that people are and much that is reported in the US, particularly on right leaning sites but also in places like the NYT is hyperbolic and exaggerated.
People in the UK are totally bemused by the US and the lack of free speech, the deportation of tourists, the lack of due process, the firing of most of the top Pentagon staff, the stripping of books from library shelves etc etc And of course there is the Ethnic Studies Curriculum which has taught a generation of children that they are living an overly oppressive state which can not be fixed and must be overthrown.
With freedom of speech in the UK, it is more freedom to protest and whether or not certain online speech was incitement to riot. 40% of the FSU's case load has been to do with GC and the UK Supreme Court has said that the GC pov was correct.
Is there pride in British heritage? Yes, a lot of people have taken quiet pride that unlike the Trump administration, Starmer has not labelled Ukraine the aggressor. Nor has Britain proved to be a fairweather friend. It does still honour its obligations under the 1994 Budapest memorandum, something that the US and indeed Russia have repudiated.
When will the US return to the principles of Teddy Roosevelt? FDR? Eisenhower ? ANd even JFK? Where is the US's Edward Murrow?
"What the **** has happened to the country of Shakespeare and Churchill? When will you show some pride in your long heritage?"
You just put your finger on the problem. Latter day Churchills and Shakespeares do not suffer the rape gang horrors and have estates to avoid the misery of the hoi polloi. Always were like that. And here in the land of Albion's seed, our American elites are insulated from the miseries of the 80%. The elites are unbothered by the horde of aliens moving illegally into America, or the loss of jobs to China. Why? Because they themselves make nothing, they simply finance everything. Wall Street, hedge funds, banks, and they live in fine communities away from flyover, they are all above the fray. Those folks hoover up the money the rest of America generates.
To us Churchill and Shakespeare are Britain. To Britain, Harvard, Yale and the Ivies. Wall Street, Manhattan, Connecticut, and California are America. Flyover country is not what the British see on their news. And the denizens of Birmingham don't exist to us in the US. The displacement by immigrant hordes who do not share in British values is not something we hear about - We are told to be ashamed about picking up Anti-American muzzies and shipping them out without a full blown jury trial. There is a reason Marx, Engels and that lot were so successful at exploiting class differences. It is human nature to exist in different means, but it is a crime when government promotes, enhances, and mandates those circumstances.
But denizens of Birmingham are the ones who are most likely to be talked about on the right media because Brum is where the large population of Asians are. It is where you have several of 'independents' elected. The Muslim population, particularly that with political power is v much concentrated in certain urban areas. There was a recent book about the white working class which divides the country up and helps to explain things. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/books/non-fiction/review-underdogs-joel-budd/
It is more the deportation of tourists who arrived and then had their phones randomly checked in the US for anti-Trump slogans which worries people. Things get blown out of proportion.
Come now Michelle, two folks were refused admission or readmission as they were or likely were violating the terms of the general visa they used/attempted to use. They were working which is prohibited on that visa. And the two teenage Krauts? No hotel reservations. And per border officials they had admitted they were going to try to work in the US. The general visa does not permit. Oh, and per the Telegraph article, this sort border control has existed for longer than a decade. Not a recent development.
The only information of phone searching (and computer searching) was about a haughty and sniveling French "researcher" (who no doubt looked like John Kerry - Its a US joke, Michelle). He was stopped at the entry point and had his digital stuff searched. Apparently he harbored hostility to US budget cuts and furloughing of purported scientists in the US government or maybe funds for Ivy League university research grants. His phone/computer had texts which disclosed this hostility. Why would a sane country permit a guy like that in? We are trying to get the Gaza-loving jerks out.
Oh, and the money shot in the article comes, as usual, at the end. This is "Le Monde" after all: "Trump has been making a series of shocking announcements targeting the scientific community, including brutal budget cuts and the censorship of certain subjects in publically funded research." Shocking!!!! Brutal!!! Censorship? (Huh? WTF, what censorship? Cutting out funding for drag queen story hour in Iraq?). We are $37 Trillion in National Debt, but no cuts are permitted anywhere, especially when it might impact a whining Frog miscreant.
Don't fall for the media line. You are better than that.
Make sure the TDS, which is a worldwide phenomenon, does not infect thinking.
But these are the stories which are getting reported over here.
I do not doubt they are happening. I suspect it is no more widespread than usual.
It is v much like the protesting outside abortion clinics (several US states apparently have the same/similar prohibitions). It can make a great story on a slow news day.
The US voted for Trump. I hope he makes a success of it because the alternative is too horrible to contemplate.
"It is more the deportation of tourists who arrived and then had their phones randomly checked in the US for anti-Trump slogans which worries people. "
I'd like some proof of this. Not simply anecdote or claim. Not saying did not happen, but I rather doubt it. I doubt it so much I am prepared to call it without further evidence as false.
In about 1980 a buddy and I island hopped in the Caribbean. One stop we made was on St. Maarten. A rumor of a nude beach on the French side of the island (the other side being Dutch) was the attraction. Given that we were, while not true bums (we were each gainfully employed as environmental scientists), slightly vagabond-ish and had no reservation we were denied entry. We both liked to eyeball the potential rooms before signing up, we'd not arranged anything. We were stuck in the airport until we could get the owner of a guest house on the phone line to assure the border control guy that we did have a room reserved now and had real money to pay for it!
BTW, we did make the nude beach - after dark to reconnoiter. We managed to disturb 3 or 4 of the local constabulary hiding in the weeds. They accused us of awaiting a shipment of illegal drugs and we were detained for a couple hours, then permitted to return to our hotel. I think they were actually awaiting their own deliveries, but we sensed karma was against us and did not return to that beach, the loss of seeing lithe French babes being our loss.
These are the tropes which are selling. It is easier to sell them a story which has elements they want to market.
For example the Cinderella trope tends to be popular. The bad boy redeemed is much less popular after Me too than it was. There are always fashions in publishing.
Another absolutely amazing report on rounding up all that’s going on In_Plain_Sight‼️
Here in the USA states it’s:
BCD (ie., Behind _Closed_Doors), alongside, LL&(m)L (ie., Lies_Lies&-more_Lies) with greater & greater division of social classes that continue their NTSH (ie., Nothing To See Here).
It’s a literally a combination of Nazi Germany & yes, then once done a tossing of the damaged goods (ie., people who are relegated to await their fate, much like the early Christians placed in the metaphorical but ABSOLUTELY very real hypogeum after the faux tech/med/not-scientists *or* researchers are finished with their experimental research).
The list of poor white people (ESPECIALLY males). & the demographic of those who have no voice & find advocates who dare merely to inquire- the AI marks them & theirs with a big red ❌. The pharmacists, the put upon PCPs, nurses & medical aides, are taking & it’s NOT good.
Fear rules as it has always when society labels & create layers of chaos so detection is nearly impossible.
I took my husband to the quote world renowned UPMC ER on 4/6.
Beyond surreal. We left after 6+ hours w/ a sheaf of AI misspelled mishmash of papers that were akin to my scrape of inventory from the lemonade stand I ran I our suburban neighborhood in the early 1970’s.
They said my husband had not had a stroke (this is genetic) but while none of his symptoms warranted the AI Viz double cscan - I was ignored when I asked what it was & the reason for doing the procedure. No answer, just a glare. One of the 3 questions I had the audacity to ask outside of asking the er drs her name — the other 2 were non answers— the state of the actual ER sliding door closet, was littered with old pieces of syringes & gloves, ++; & the“room” w/ wired for ambient AI to essentially eavesdrop for science— I read several papers delivered to me email as we waited.
I looked at his UPMC epic EHRs for an entirely different reason a week later. The AI Viz was designed to flag lg vessel occlusion— it did catch he had 50% occlusion bilaterally in the vertebral carotid arteries but all the ER told us is he should go to the vertigo clinic to do head exercises.
AI is phenomenal at generating results if queried correctly & what it generated SAID it was a big deal, especially given his age, health issues & family history— it provided v specific insights to pursue. Going to essentially research
gymnastics was NOT amongst the recommendations ‼️
As the “Dr” reported had REPORTED all was fine, I asked about his bloodwork— again all fine — NOT ‼️ He is borderline diabetic & post quadruple bypass (7/2008) which was nowhere in his EHRS — we monitor our records closely- for naught — AI’s are for rich elites pretending they are not a bunch of Hitlers.
The ER Dr released him AFTER he was brought: apple juice, a bag of potato chips & a package of CHOCOLATE CHIP cookies 🍪 ‼️
NO ONE remotely with any “power” cares whatsoever.
And those those in the mid-
line (ie., I’m fine & mine are
fine), remain essentially gluttons spending their retirement money as if they’re back in high school. These are the INDIFFERENT, believing that they have no responsibility to the least, the lost, & the lame.
Bravo to you, Michelle, you are at least both willing & able to gather information that is of true importance & value, vetting it & generously sharing your findings 🙏
The oppressed are a growing problem because the “Drs-scientists-researchers” are w/out conscience for their implementation of the ACA is w/ intent bankrupting everyday individuals, stressing the very patience of GOD.
This evil forces families into making them choose to offer themselves as lab rats in order to have food for their children—
WHERE are the few, the proud & the brave? Gorging themselves on food & fun & willing ignore the cries of HUMANS .
Operation paperclip is alive & well. The nazi twiddling of human genes & the known prediction of the head researchers to simply toss out any that are not in their “narrative” of converging technology.
There is *NO* controlling authority whatsoever.
It is mind boggling the 3 dominant groups that CMU, in the very specific, wrote about in an NSF DOE/DOD article in 2002 has been accomplished.
I am going to post it & see who can read & critically think (just 5 of the 490 pages).
Premeditated- 💯 They set out to create & have seamlessly completed & they just move forward w/o a peep from the quote “powers that be”.
The OPPRESSED being stepped over ala the parable of the Good Samaritan by the soulless INDIFFERENT & it absolutely is the hell of Dante & there are no churches because they are filled with the legalistic hypocrites making money from the tormenters & hide behind their cathedrals w/o crosses but with Starbucks aplenty & sell books that their leaders wrote right in God’s house.
This is dark because this is dark & more frightening than I could have ever imagined when I moved here 3 decades ago leaving the genesis of this very satanic plan of saying it was for good things & yet I could find nothing to vet the answers, excuses & then outright lies by the scientists, researchers, venture capitalists, the senate policy makers++
What is befalling our world is preplanned & yes the astra codex is the keeper of that highway & Bari Weiss is also the keeper of another type of highway.
The internet is not complex but like any haunted house— it’s just knowing what is real & what is not & then of course what is so intention fashioned that it becomes indistinguishable even to the trained eye.
PS My notes app ask my “permission” to paste into “safari” —- all smoke & mirrors. Give Paddy a hug for me 🙏
SOrry to hear you had such a terrible experience with your local hospital. Hopefully your husband is doing better now.
I don't think AI is as good as they pretend.
And it is so frustrating when you feel like you are a tiny cog in a system rather than a person who lives and breathes.
A&E here is never fun either. Computer systems promise much and deliver little.
Paddy did enjoy the pub. He eventually settled. We sat outside and the sun shone which was lovely. On a good day, Hadrian's Wall is beautiful. We were at the Twice Brewed Inn https://twicebrewedinn.co.uk/ My husband had a couple of pints of the charmingly named 'All of My Friends are dead' beer.
Thank you Michelle! This is not the exception but the rule. I’ve lost 50 lbs & there’s no one in the gastrointestinal endocrine vascular arena because it’s rare & genetic & my son will not live to see his next birthday. It’s personal for sure but I advocate for others & regardless of how polite, respectful ++ it’s one of seven areas chosen by the Obama admin to trade medmal reform for healthcare reform. This is real - I find until it is someone’s own family (father mother son daughter etc) turning away is the response.
I used to truly believe that the majority of people had some moral compass — & the major news outlets here, had investigative journalism & printed articles that actually
reported some of the seriously bad events in the schools. 2009 teachers knew an 8th grade girl was being mercilessly bullied on MySpace- her mother found her in her bedroom closet dead having killed herself. My daughter turned the 3 girls in & our neighbor’s daughter set up death threats against my daughter — that neighbor’s father was/is an fbi agent.
I’m so glad to vicariously share in your story & it is truly *wonderful*!
things BEFORE the www became the place of divide & concur
And because late yesterday, the EHRC did issue its interim guidance. https://www.equalityhumanrights.com/media-centre/interim-update-practical-implications-uk-supreme-court-judgment
The roll call of the institutions who were going to ignore/wait it out is long and ignoble. It includes the Girl Guides whose remit is young women and girls. They allow boys to use female spaces including dormitories without informing the parents. Their stance is unlawful and begs many questions about safeguarding. https://www.gbnews.com/news/girlguiding-trans-supreme-court-gender-ruling
It remains to be seen if these institutions continue to act unlawfully or if they decide in face of clear guidance, that they were misled and will now obey the law as it has always been.
Hello Northumberland! Good to see You again.
But I'm sorry to hear about the Birmingham strike. And very sorry to hear about the BTP and their failure to understand what biological sex means. The MET is even worse. Plain lying about it. I was glad to read the Reindorf article. And I agree with You about the medical procedures. I can only hope that Scotland and her schools learn the lesson that females are females.
I'm glad to see Reeves actions against Shein.
I should've known people would commit fraud when working at home.
The situation of America's defense industry is very awful. Good article by Michael Brown in Foreign Affairs about what it will take to fix it.
Paddy looks great, as always.
And, as always, TY for Your work. Another fine roundup of articles for us. TYTY, Michelle.
Always a pleasure to see JT.
It does get worse. This is an article about various law firms who are supposed to be experts: https://www.rollonfriday.com/news-content/exclusive-law-firms-get-sex-muddle-over-supreme-court-verdict
There are several wry comments about hallucinations.
Reindorf is not going to take prisoners.
TY, Michelle. Interesting article.
This one is also good from Peter Daly, the solicitor who has done so much to ensure that woman means adult human female. It explains the red flags and where companies and others have gone wrong. https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/women-scotland-v-scottish-ministers-seven-red-flags-peter-daly-oew2e

It is about 1%. It is more capture and loud voices. Many people in the media know someone who is trans or who has a trans child.

Always know the story behind the story as it is often more interesting.

They said my husband had not had a stroke (this is genetic) but while none of his symptoms warranted the AI Viz double cscan - I was ignored when I asked what it was & the reason for doing the procedure. No answer, just a glare. One of the 3 questions I had the audacity to ask outside of asking the er drs her name — the other 2 were non answers— the state of the actual ER sliding door closet, was littered with old pieces of syringes & gloves, ++; & the“room” w/ wired for ambient AI to essentially eavesdrop for science— I read several papers delivered to me email as we waited.
I looked at his UPMC epic EHRs for an entirely different reason a week later. The AI Viz was designed to flag lg vessel occlusion— it did catch he had 50% occlusion bilaterally in the vertebral carotid arteries but all the ER told us is he should go to the vertigo clinic to do head exercises.
AI is phenomenal at generating results if queried correctly & what it generated SAID it was a big deal, especially given his age, health issues & family history— it provided v specific insights to pursue. Going to essentially research
gymnastics was NOT amongst the recommendations ‼️
As the “Dr” reported had REPORTED all was fine, I asked about his bloodwork— again all fine — NOT ‼️ He is borderline diabetic & post quadruple bypass (7/2008) which was nowhere in his EHRS — we monitor our records closely- for naught — AI’s are for rich elites pretending they are not a bunch of Hitlers.
The ER Dr released him AFTER he was brought: apple juice, a bag of potato chips & a package of CHOCOLATE CHIP cookies 🍪 ‼️
NO ONE remotely with any “power” cares whatsoever.
And those those in the mid-
line (ie., I’m fine & mine are
fine), remain essentially gluttons spending their retirement money as if they’re back in high school. These are the INDIFFERENT, believing that they have no responsibility to the least, the lost, & the lame.
Bravo to you, Michelle, you are at least both willing & able to gather information that is of true importance & value, vetting it & generously sharing your findings 🙏
The oppressed are a growing problem because the “Drs-scientists-researchers” are w/out conscience for their implementation of the ACA is w/ intent bankrupting everyday individuals, stressing the very patience of GOD.
This evil forces families into making them choose to offer themselves as lab rats in order to have food for their children—
WHERE are the few, the proud & the brave? Gorging themselves on food & fun & willing ignore the cries of HUMANS .
Operation paperclip is alive & well. The nazi twiddling of human genes & the known prediction of the head researchers to simply toss out any that are not in their “narrative” of converging technology.
There is *NO* controlling authority whatsoever.
It is mind boggling the 3 dominant groups that CMU, in the very specific, wrote about in an NSF DOE/DOD article in 2002 has been accomplished.
I am going to post it & see who can read & critically think (just 5 of the 490 pages).
Premeditated- 💯 They set out to create & have seamlessly completed & they just move forward w/o a peep from the quote “powers that be”.
The OPPRESSED being stepped over ala the parable of the Good Samaritan by the soulless INDIFFERENT & it absolutely is the hell of Dante & there are no churches because they are filled with the legalistic hypocrites making money from the tormenters & hide behind their cathedrals w/o crosses but with Starbucks aplenty & sell books that their leaders wrote right in God’s house.
This is dark because this is dark & more frightening than I could have ever imagined when I moved here 3 decades ago leaving the genesis of this very satanic plan of saying it was for good things & yet I could find nothing to vet the answers, excuses & then outright lies by the scientists, researchers, venture capitalists, the senate policy makers++
What is befalling our world is preplanned & yes the astra codex is the keeper of that highway & Bari Weiss is also the keeper of another type of highway.
The internet is not complex but like any haunted house— it’s just knowing what is real & what is not & then of course what is so intention fashioned that it becomes indistinguishable even to the trained eye.
PS My notes app ask my “permission” to paste into “safari” —- all smoke & mirrors. Give Paddy a hug for me 🙏
SOrry to hear you had such a terrible experience with your local hospital. Hopefully your husband is doing better now.
I don't think AI is as good as they pretend.
And it is so frustrating when you feel like you are a tiny cog in a system rather than a person who lives and breathes.
A&E here is never fun either. Computer systems promise much and deliver little.
Paddy did enjoy the pub. He eventually settled. We sat outside and the sun shone which was lovely. On a good day, Hadrian's Wall is beautiful. We were at the Twice Brewed Inn https://twicebrewedinn.co.uk/ My husband had a couple of pints of the charmingly named 'All of My Friends are dead' beer.
Thank you Michelle! This is not the exception but the rule. I’ve lost 50 lbs & there’s no one in the gastrointestinal endocrine vascular arena because it’s rare & genetic & my son will not live to see his next birthday. It’s personal for sure but I advocate for others & regardless of how polite, respectful ++ it’s one of seven areas chosen by the Obama admin to trade medmal reform for healthcare reform. This is real - I find until it is someone’s own family (father mother son daughter etc) turning away is the response.
I used to truly believe that the majority of people had some moral compass — & the major news outlets here, had investigative journalism & printed articles that actually
reported some of the seriously bad events in the schools. 2009 teachers knew an 8th grade girl was being mercilessly bullied on MySpace- her mother found her in her bedroom closet dead having killed herself. My daughter turned the 3 girls in & our neighbor’s daughter set up death threats against my daughter — that neighbor’s father was/is an fbi agent.
I’m so glad to vicariously share in your story & it is truly *wonderful*!
things BEFORE the www became the place of divide & concur
PS I truly reread & edit b4 I post— substack has become even more difficult! 🍻
