🤔 👇 Perhaps as a “proud British Jew” Ed forgot that the Torah explicitly bans the consumption of pork for all Jewish people. Or perhaps he’s not always a proud Jew, British or otherwise…

Losing Dolly Parton and Gloria Steinem back-to-back feels like we’re saying goodbye to a whole generation of trailblazers so close to each other.

Kathleen Stock is already covering her tracks. All her Jason Arday videos where she mocked him, called him an equality and diversity hire, and bragged about demolishing him: Deleted. I expect @TheTimes and all the others are currently very busy doing the same. And what will our so-called equality watchdog the @EHRC say about the Arday affair? And @bphillipsonMP - who has championed terfs Scum. @Ofcom @IpsoNews

The world is full of men who have lost jobs in disgrace, sometimes several times over and bounced back. They're all a certain type of man though. It seems it's just easier to overlook things some do than others.

I can now say I've seen Cats (it wasn't on my agenda as a child and I would have been too much of a snob for it as a younger adult, so I'm glad to have seen it at this point in my life): juliarank.substack.com/p/rev…

British media has gone full mask off. A man who was so deeply racist, endangering minorities with his bile is now “marmite”, “brave”, refusing not to “virtue signal” and a champion of “free speech”. Just say you quietly envied his unchecked racism and agreed with him.

There are some mighty weird feminists out there. Eulogising a racist/ domestic abuser/ paedophilia enthusiast is a shitshow of the highest order.

I'm not a trans man but I also think "feminine hygiene" is a dreadful, outdated euphemism for tampons and towels. Call them what they are FGS.

Waitrose drops ‘feminine’ label from tampons after trans complaint. Why does everyone allow themselves to be bullied by trans activists? So fed up of this stuff. Ignoring the majority for a loud vicious minority telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/07…
