It's fascinating to watch commentators who sat completely silently for a decade as the Conservative Government changed its leader four times in a row mid-term, now suddenly discover such a keen interest in the concepts of 'mandates' and 'legitimacy'

Whenever Trump puts a medal round someone’s neck my brain goes “goodness gracious now then now then was that you out there playing in the World Cup wow how’s about that then?” and I’m not going to disagree with it.

Not speaking ill of the dead is just yet another way that arseholes have decided there mustn’t ever be consequences for doing horrible shit. No. You do hateful stuff, people get to hate you.

Amnesty International put out a major report documenting the influence of UK based anti trans gender critical organizations and their funding. Within hours, GC groups threatened defamation lawsuits and Amnesty was forced to pull it down. Proving the point they're anti rights. Anyways, here it is.

And there it is. JK Rowling personally and publicly offering to bankroll litigation against Amnesty International using her massive wealth.

A screenshot of a social media thread on X (formerly Twitter) featuring two posts by J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling). ​The first post reads: 'Should any of the women's organisations targeted by @AmnestyUK's recent 'anti-rights' blacklist wish to take legal action, applications can be made to the JK Rowling Women's Fund. jkrwf.org'. ​This first post includes a quote post from the account Trans Widows’ Voices. (@transwidows) that says: 'Whilst I understand the detriment to Beira's Place is real, and focussing on @jk_rowling get clicks it's a shame that mainstream press coverage of the Amnesty debacle is not also focussing on us smaller groups listed who do ...' ​The second post, a reply in the thread by J.K. Rowling, reads: 'Gay men's organisations named on the list are welcome to contact me through my website. While the JK Rowling's Fund was set up to support women, JK Rowling herself is more than happy to donate to your legal fighting fund.'"

I’m old enough to remember when Farage was paid £40k to speak at a conference for Nomad Capitalist, a company that gets passports for (albeit wealthy) economic migrants, facilitating the global mobility he often campaigns against.
