What a surprise that Liddle would have been such a big supporter of genital inspections for children. Every terf accusation is a confession

Snigdha@snig.bsky.social · 2d ago

Your reminder Rod Liddle not only said he couldn't have become a teacher because he "could not remotely conceive of not trying to shag the kids" in The Spectator, but he also wrote laws banning child pornography are "absurd" in The Guardian. Abhorrent.

Burnham has appointed TWO MEMBERS OF THE HOUSE OF LORDS to the *Equalities* Office. You couldn’t make it up.

Biological essentialism, whether based on race or gender, is a fascist project, and all those pushing it are doing fascist work, and choking on dog shit is the best outcome for them

Your reminder that the German legal academy did not merely go along with the Nazis. Leading legal theorists provided the intellectual and legal scaffolding for dismantling the democratic institutions of the Weimar Republic, and they actively aided the Nazis in pushing völkische Rechtslehre.

Oh wow what a shock that the former mercenary with the Nazi tattoo who uses "gay" and the r-word as insults and has a history of violence towards women also is facing accusations of sexual assault. If only there had been some warning signs.
