The lack of any real appetite to understand what went so very wrong during lockdown continues to astonish me. I suppose a lot of people making the decision to start and run that process would not come out of any real investigation positively.

This misreporting by @politico gets to the heart of the covid response disaster. If governments had not suspended free speech, and the media not abetted devastating takedowns of scientists for the crime of contradicting government scientists, so much harm could have been avoided.

You mean men, men who claim to be women. You are a national broadcaster that consistently obfuscates facts around sex because you’ve taken an ideological position the public overwhelmingly rejects. This isn’t news, it’s propaganda.

‘This is all very complicated. Should we lock up double rapists wearing wigs with a bunch of vulnerable women? People just don’t understand how complex this is. On the one hand, doing so would be inhumane and unlawful. On the other, he’s wearing pink leggings.’

Once again, the Scottish government has been trounced in court.
I do not know why John Swinney is so keen to put male murderers in women's jails but it is now clear that doing so is unlawful.

The Scottish government is responsible for this sexual assault. The Supreme Court has confirmed women’s right to single sex spaces, a ruling the SNP continues to flout. If the victim wishes to sue, jkrwf.org can assist with all costs.
NEW: Police Scotland say a 38 year old prisoner has been arrested and charged after a sexual assault on a woman within HMP Greenock.

In the latest episode of David Starkey Talks @LiamHalligan brilliantly dismantles the Covid Inquiry circus that has earned the lawyers staffing it hundreds of millions of pounds in order to reach a conclusion that was already the conventional wisdom of the establishment, and also happens to be completely wrong.
What a wasted opportunity actually to properly examine the devastating impact of lockdown on our society, which we're all paying for and for which we will continue to pay for the rest of our lives.
But we cannot expect the lanyard class to scrutinise itself, can we now?

How can anybody look at these two lines and say the terrible pain of lockdown was necessary?
The Covid inquiry says 23,000 lives could have been saved had Britain locked down a week earlier.
But this ignores a major counterfactual: Sweden.

The Sandie Peggie employment tribunal is currently exposing, as perhaps no court case to date has, the issue of class as it relates to the top-down imposition of gender identity ideology in the workplace.
'Diversity officer' Isla Bumba has now admitted in court that she didn't bother consulting the 1992 regulations guaranteeing single-sex spaces when she told a trans-identified male, Dr Beth Upton, to use the female changing room at the hospital where he was working. Bumba justified this decision with comments that I assume sounded really clever and convincing, inside her own head.
'I don’t know anything about Beth’s body. I didn’t at the time. I don’t now. I don’t need to know. But it wouldn’t be something that I would ever have the information of exactly what she is made of, biologically.'
Kate Searle, a consultant in emergency medicine, backed Bumba up, expressing outrage on the witness stand that anyone would be so insensitive as to ask about Upton's chromosomes.
‘I could only imagine how upsetting and invasive a question that would be for Beth, and also not relevant to a colleague to ask another colleague. Beth identifies as female, and it does not matter what her chromosomes are to her.’
In Bumba and Searle's world, a belief that gender identity trumps biological sex is proof you're intellectually and morally superior to women like Sandie Peggie, so I'd imagine it's come as a shock to discover, in a blaze of public and press scrutiny, just how idiotic and cruel they appear to people outside their dinner party circle.
When Upton, a 6' tall, 28-year-old ex-rugby playing male, claimed that a petite 50-year-old female nurse was making him feel 'unsafe', his word appears to have been taken as gospel. Searle, Bumba and management fell over themselves to coddle the middle-class doctor who shared their voguish post-modern views on gender. What did Sandie matter? She's just one of those ghastly uninformed bigots who still thinks sex is real and important - so embarrassingly gauche and simplistic! Whisper it - she probably drinks red wine with chicken, too.
According to @tribunaltweets, an emotional Searle blurted out on the stand 'I am kind.' This is not something genuinely kind people need to say. Genuinely kind people don't find themselves compelled to explain in court why they helped whip up a witch-hunt against a woman whose only crime was wanting to change her clothes without a man watching.
Well, the nurse who was supposed to shuffle off in disgrace wasn't having it. Sandie Peggie refused to be sacrificed on the altar of elitist ideologues who believe themselves to be higher and better than she is. She fought back, for herself and for every other woman who's currently being silenced, persecuted and punished by a smug management class that preens itself on its virtue while imposing rampantly misogynistic policies on its workforce.
Sandie Peggie is a heroine. The woman NHS Fife thought they could treat abominably without any consequences to themselves has succeeded in shining the brightest spotlight yet upon the brain rot and compassion deficit suffered by supposedly intelligent people when they embrace gender identity ideology. Women everywhere owe her a debt of thanks. Whatever the outcome of this tribunal, Sandie Peggie has already won.

Language is the essence of understanding our decisions. ‘Assisted dying’ is the service currently provided by palliative care, mostly provided by underfunded hospices, supported not by state but by charitable donations. Assisted suicide, state sanctioned killing is different.

Tomorrow - Sunday 9th March - is "Covid Reflection Day". The UK government is urging us - and I'm quoting from the official blurb - to "come together to remember those who lost their lives since the pandemic began and to honour the tireless work and acts of kindness shown during this unprecedented time”.
Now lockdown was indeed a time when many of us showed the best of British - looking out for our neighbours and helping others.
But lockdown was also an absolutely cataclysmic policy mistake, that did far more harm than good - harm in terms of mental health, child development, education more broadly, the massive expansion of NHS waiting lists and so-called “deaths of despair” linked to the vast economic damage of lockdown, a two year period when the UK government borrowed and spent almost £500 billion pounds. And for what?
Five years on from the start of lockdown, British officialdom - and much of the political and media class - remains determinedly blind to the lockdown catastrophe.
Far more than a "Day of Reflection", we need a tough, hard-headed appraisal of how our pandemic responses led to such tragic consequences.
I would urge everyone to read the searing essay in today's @Telegraph by my Planet Normal Co-presenter @AllisonPearson and Molly Kingsley @lensiseethrough - who set up the parent campaign group @UsforThemUK
This is a brave, thoroughly evidence-based and extremely important counter-punch to the ongoing and dangerous groupthink that insists the UK's lockdown - including the closure of schools and shift of the NHS to a covid-only service - was a good idea.
It most emphatically was not. What it was, in fact, was the UK's most significant policy blunder in decades, the practical, psychological and financial burden of which will bear heavily on this country for many years to come.
Oh - and our ongoing Covid-inquiry, which began in June 2023, estimated price tag £200m and counting, has become an out-of-control lawyers' bonanza, paid for by you.
Backwards-looking and ridiculously bureaucratic, the UK Covid Inquiry remains implacably determined to avoid addressing the question that really matters: were we right to lockdown the way we did and faced with another pandemic, should we do so again?
Please read and share Allison and Molly's excellent essay.

Five years ago today and my only regret is that I didn't speak out sooner. To every girl and woman who's paid a heavy price for fighting to retain their rights and boundaries, to every person striving to halt an appalling medical experiment on minors, I salute you. We will win.
Dress however you please.
Call yourself whatever you like.
Sleep with any consenting adult who’ll have you.
Live your best life in peace and security.
But force women out of their jobs for stating that sex is real?
