The details of the rape charge Russell Brand was convicted of are as follows: A woman who had a threesome with him and put her tongue in his anus five minutes after meeting him (whilst in a relationship) later claimed that non-consensual anal sex occurred. As much as I’ve always disliked Brand, her account is dubious. There was no forensic evidence, no CCTV footage, no physical evidence of any sort and the report was made 20 years after the alleged incident took place. A more plausible explanation is that Brand, being the degenerate he is, used the woman for his pleasure, and rudely discarded her afterwards. Regretting a sexual encounter is not the same as rape. Brand faces 10-15 years for this charge alone (if her account is true, I am gladdened by the punishment). However, compare Brand’s case to that of Jameel Ahmed, a Pakistani in Bradford convicted of four counts of rape of a 12 year old girl. He was sentenced to just 8 years, and with the early release scheme he is likely out in a few years. In Ahmed’s case, unlike Brands, there was both forensic and physical evidence. 8 years. Britain has a two-tier justice system. It’s as simple as that.

I fully support an app exclusively for “trans, non-binary and gender diverse adults”. Create as many things exclusively for yourselves as you want. Stay in them for all I care. All I ask is the same courtesy is given to any app, space & event that is specifically “woman only”…

The allegations are from 19-27 years ago... That doesn't help the credibility. Muslim Pakistani r@pe gangs... meh... Russel Brand, convicted and off to prison. Not condoning his behavior, just the hypocrisy.

Keeping men out of women’s sports is common sense. Today I voted for that protection. Conservatives are leading the fight to protect our women and girls.

You've avoided nearly all of my questions, Norah, because you're literally incapable of answering them. Your mind is firmly closed to any evidence or facts that undermine your preferred narrative. You consider it immoral for anyone to even question you, even though you voluntarily and confidently entered this discussion. You're like a flat-earther. Nothing I or anyone else says to you will permeate your stubborn quasi-religious beliefs, because to change your mind would take away a core part of your self image, which is as somebody who is kinder and better and more righteous than the nasty people still advocating for the safety of women and girls. You repeat your thought-terminating clichés and unevidenced assertions, which I assume sound clever inside your echo chamber, but which, outside it, make you appear not only dim, but a total moral vacuum. Increased risk to females? Who cares. Women threatened by violence? Of course those poor trans-identified men lash out when they meet resistance! What is a gender identity? You can't really say, but like the flat-earther, you're sure it exists, because your tribe is held together by belief in it, and pride themselves on their blind faith in it. I keep waiting for a single gender ideologue or trans activist to truly engage with the facts, but all of you sheer away from them like horses from fireworks. It truly is like talking to cult members who're incapable of engaging in rational debate and just keep chanting the mantras, consigning all serious questions to the 'evil' bin. I've been told I'm on the wrong side of history thousands of times. By debating people like you, I've come to realise that your ilk's idea of the 'right side of history' means stripping women and girls' of their rights, excusing male violence against women, siding with those issuing death and rape threats and attempting to suppress critical thought and freedom of speech. Maybe, like the flat-earthers, you genuinely think history will vindicate you. I believe people will look back on this period and analyse your arguments, not because they admire them, but because they're trying to fathom how so many supposedly intelligent people fell, hook, line and sinker for a bunch of vacuous, post-modern, pseudo-intellectual cobblers, while being completely indifferent to the real world harm they were enabling.

Stop paying these utterly useless unions who do not have your backs ladies
The nurses' union is not obliged to help nurses, it seems.

Everyone can tell by looking at this photo that this person is a man. But he calls himself a “transgender woman”. According to Australia’s sex discrimination act, looking like a man is a protected characteristic of being a “transgender woman”. In 3 weeks, he will be released from prison for his second attempted rape conviction. And because he claims to be a woman, the law is on his side to go into woman only spaces. To some people, apparently this is progress, and they will indulge the lie. Everyone else can be punished for not.

Let's not forget who is ultimately responsible for handing out those millions of visas to people to come to Britain since 2021 to do low paid, low skilled work - and bring their many dependants - while young Brits were left to rot on the welfare scrap heap. This wasn't just economic madness, set to cost British taxpayers BILLIONS over decades, it was an immoral act directly contradicting the clear and expressed wishes of the British people for lower migration. The person responsible was the then PM @BorisJohnson. Shame on you.

Been reading gleeful comments about Sandie Peggie losing, calling her a vile bigot. They’re missing point. She could be living embodiment of female Alf Garnet, but that doesn’t disqualify her from expecting single sex facilities to be single sex. Upton was not biological female

Nurses like Sandie should be allowed to do their job caring for patients, not subjected to witch hunts for defending their basic rights to privacy and dignity. This ruling on her union’s failures to support her (not about single-sex spaces where she has already won) is disapppointing but takes nothing away from Sandie’s courage in standing up not just for herself but for women’s rights. The usual suspects will twist the outcome to attack her after what she’s been through but she is braver and better than them. Either way, the next Conservative government will put a stop to this nonsense. The NHS should support its nurses, and regulators should focus on what actually matters: professional standards and patient safety not silly fads.
The dismissal today of Sandie Peggie’s case against the Royal College of Nursing should concern every healthcare professional who believes in biological reality. Bethany Hutchison, President of the Darlington Nursing Union, said: “Sandie’s story shows why healthcare professionals need a union that understands their convictions before a crisis begins. “The court’s decision does not erase the fears and lawful beliefs of nurses who believe their union may not represent them robustly when disputes involve biological sex and gender identity. “Sandie’s experience shows how vulnerable a nurse can become when trust in union representation breaks down. “Gender-critical nurses deserve representation from a union whose starting point is clear: biological sex is real, freedom of belief matters, and lawful single-sex protections must be defended. “The Darlington Nursing Union exists to provide that representation. We will stand firmly alongside our members, seek early and effective resolutions, and defend them robustly if a dispute escalates. "Our members should never have to question whether their union shares a commitment to defending their lawful rights." Join the Darlington Nursing Union by contacting [email protected]

Sandie Peggie objected to sharing a female changing room with a trans doctor, got suspended, and asked her union for help. Now a tribunal has thrown out her claim against the Royal College of Nursing. Seems too me that is a blatant attack on women's rights?

This is a woman who was in a female only change area, at midnight. She was there unexpectedly following a menstrual flood. She didn’t enter a space that was never meant for her. She reacted to an awful situation, that the vast majority of women would have found so traumatising. How exactly would you have advised she respond?

The union made their case quite early, by financially supporting the male protagonist. Absolutely shameful.
