"If this is not suitable to talk about with a group of adults, how can it possibly be suitable to talk about in schools?"

Get ALL political messaging out of public services: police, nhs, education & transport for starters. Treat everyone with respect equally & simply do the job paid to do, away from ideologies & rainbow lanyards.
Hopefully in next few days legal action will launch against both @wiltshirepolice and the @policeconduct regarding their contemptuous flouting of the Northumbria JR ruling. @Glinner is right - this will take years to undo. We can do it.

I have found her!!! This is the genius behind the We Do Not Care club!!
Club members,
Here is my contribution:
We Do Not Care if you don’t like looking at our legs. Shaving once a month is plenty. If that.

I will not be lectured on women’s rights by any man, least of all the type who would have drowned me as a witch in the 1600s, locked me in an asylum for being outspoken in the 1800s, or lobotomised me in the 1950s for refusing to submit and obey.
Fuck off.

People in The Guardian referring to rape of children as part of a "culture war" shows their priorities. You either believe in the safeguarding of women and girls or you don't.

To paraphrase Marie Shear: feminism is the radical notion that women, too, are humans with rights.

A woman is a human female, as set out by the Equality Act.
A coward is a bloke who beats up women, or a bloke who excuses it.
Shocking Response
Today in the Chamber it was confirmed that a woman is a woman.
This madness continues every day I am here.
I asked the Minister if a woman could have a penis.
Her non-answer was shocking.
Only @reformparty_uk will end this madness.

The Victorian times in Britain wasn’t *that* long ago in terms of history so it’s interesting to me to think we’ve only had female only toilets in public spaces since then.
When women first wanted to break free from what is known as the “urinary leash” and have public toilets for girls and women - it was met with enormous resistance.
Men used to smash the toilets up so that women couldn’t use them, to prove a point that women shouldn’t have these spaces, some would complain that it’s going to cause too much of an inconvenience in society.
Today, some men who pretend to be women also make the claim that having female only spaces is too much of an inconvenience to society.
So I think there’s always been a problem with women having female only spaces.

A fellow teacher is currently undergoing treatment for stage 4 brain cancer & trying to raise funds for a treatment that's not available on the NHS. He has three lovely children & a wife who need as much time as possible with their Dad. A donation or share of the link below would be really appreciated.

I'm going out, said Wolf, I want to get a box of Cadbury's. But it's absolutely pouring down, said Old Fox. Why don't I make you something instead. There's some chocolate cake left over from Sunday. I don't care about cake and I don't care about wet, said Wolf, fed up with January, never ends, need some proper chocolates in a proper box with a proper ribbon.

I absolutely refuse to have Nigel Farage's hateful, plummy, divisive voice in my living space, so am not watching #bbcqt
But I would like to hug the man in the red jumper for saying it like it is.
"Migrants, illegal or legal, weren't responsible for austerity. That was the Conservative government. Migrants were not responsible for Brexit. Migrants were not responsible for Liz Truss' failure of leadership."
Brilliant audience contribution 👏

A flag has not been flying anywhere at all ever to remember the thousands of women who have lost their lives to male violence every year.
A flag has been flying above the City Chambers today to mark Transgender Day of Remembrance, a day to remember people who have lost their lives in acts of transgender violence #TDOR #TransDayofRemembrance
