@JTPatchett
I’m in our Newcastle home, with my two little boys who go to school in Kent.
We’re having new windows fitted by a local firm and the eldest asked me today “Daddy, why aren’t the men speaking English?”
@WitchyMcWitch
I can’t really understand the discourse around this. One side will simply not engage in honest conversation around it. How are we supposed to engage with the adult equivalent of “you smell of poo”?
@joenellist
A rainbow badge “programme”?
One so big that it needed someone to head communications?
That’s utterly shameful. If anyone ever criticises NHS funding then your non-job and ludicrous work should be used in the rebuttal.

But you’re the only one claiming that those are him.

has always been his account, and hasn’t been protected, hidden or deleted.

Anyone who worries about this man having the wrong words assigned to him, rather than the rapes he wants to commit, has some serious issues to deal with.
Normal people aren’t playing along with your game here,
@raceyemu
Yes, someone who worked their way from the mining village in Northumberland to run a division if a major bank while he and his acolytes went on marches and changed nothing.
@ItIsHoeMath
@FrenchieSnores
But you aren’t, you are arrogantly assuming that if they knew what you know that they would feel as you do.
Your view is insular and parochial, you need to get out and see more of the world.
@Leedsqueers
I see you pro-paedophile boys are hiding every reply from normal people.
You’ll be masturbating yourselves silly won’t you, thinking about how you get to abuse a woman in public.
@ThomasWillett9
You’re endlessly abusive to women, they’re under no obligation to facilitate this.
Bullying someone until they block you and then criticising them for it is sadly about par for the course with you boys.
@raceyemu
And for the state, too, and a huge number of businesses who were only able to grow and develop thanks to the services I provided.
Even socialist states need banks, this disdain for a service so central to the economy is a strange one.
@Poppy_yyyyyyyy
I think that some people are concentrating on the fact that she spent thousands of dollars getting her makeup done, and that this formed a large part of why she was upset.
I prefer to concentrate on the fact that her husband physically assaulted and humiliated her, which is
@EddieIzzardLab
Coming out? I saw you a fair few times in the ‘90s and 2000s and you were absolutely clear that you were a standard male man who liked wearing women’s clothes.
What are you claiming you “came out” as 30 Years ago?
@samsmith
@madison__phipps
Could you give me some tips on how to work on my narcissism? I’m very talented, and highly paid, but just can’t get the hang of this desperately craving attention thing.
@joenellist
It’s not manufactured, I’m just never going to accept any complaints about NHS funding when money is wasted on performative bullshit like this.
You should be ashamed of getting paid for this grift.
@thomasforth
For those who don’t know, it comes from the phrase “I can’t let you do that, it’d be more than my job’s worth” meaning they are disingenuously claiming that they’d love to help but are unable as it would lose them their job.
@Stopphoningme
She’s brilliant, isn’t she? By doing nothing more than reading out the things that you boys say and do she reveals you to be perverts, bullies, and unemployable losers.
Damned by your own words.
@MujerGuerrera78
@Sorelle_Arduino
Women shouldn’t have to boycott it to have it remain female only, but still, they should probably boycott it, and tell the management why.
Boycott, picket, inform the local papers.
@ohohohfelicity
@teresamaryclark
She was caught out in an absolutely egregious lie, and lacks the grace and humility to either accept that or apologize.
The “denigration” was a set of corrections from actual experts in the area, not a self-aggrandizing clerk.
@HazelAppleyard_
One of the many negative outcomes of internet 2.0 and social media is that people like this can find others who feel the same and they can then encourage each other to the point that they feel this sort of thing is acceptable.
@MxVivianWulf
Yes, women can, in good faith, disagree about how best to proceed regarding women’s rights, and even what their rights should be.
That in no way justifies creepy men trying to get involved.
@authenticTERF
@theyasminbenoit
The “ace” community seems very fluid about what a sexuality means. So much so that it’s possibly just another cry for attention by narcissists with nothing else to commend them.
@GyllKing
Because it’s a minority pretending to be women and invading female-only spaces, sports and services.
Alleging that these perverts should be given free rein as they are few is like saying I shouldn’t complain if someone breaks into my house and lays only a relatively small turd.
@RedCollectiveUK
That’ll be because Israel was responding to an invasion and a pogrom, and saw “innocent” Gazans dancing in the streets in celebration and spitting on the dead bodies.
Gaza chose this.
@SayeedaWarsi
@ShabanaMahmood
Why would her being a Muslim be so important to you?
This need that you and others have to see Muslims take positions of power is a problem.
@KirstyStevo48
@MForstater
How? If someone is upset at another person’s protected characteristic that’s their own issue to deal with.
If I say that transwomen are men and should not be allowed into female spaces that’s not a problem.
@zoesqwilliams
Disciples? You’ve said some very stupid things about allowing men into women’s sports and about the tran representation on women’s hour and are rightly being mocked for it.
@JoPhoenix1
@zoesqwilliams
It very clearly wasn’t “uncritical” either, and if it had been, that would have been fine. Why can’t a woman’s program just celebrate a woman winning her case?
@SCynic1
One of the things I used to hold so dear in England was the idea that the state and its agents would generally leave us alone unless they absolutely had to intervene.
No-one could ask you to identify yourself, stop you going about your day, or demand any papers.
@SayeedaWarsi
You seem to struggle with both the idea that people can find your religion repellant and that this is an acceptable point of view.
Your right to practice your religion does not come with the right to make anyone else view Islam as a positive force in the world.
@codegician
@m7mdkurd
I understand that right now it’s more like an underground Venice, and Hamas have taken to using gondolas to get around and singing Eduardo di Capua.
@izzie_kathryn3
@marycatedelvey
Then why are you all crying, all the time, about how life is so unfair?
Why can none of you hold down a proper job? Why do you all have begging pages, and have meltdowns when someone won’t pretend that you are women?
@miffythegamer
@NicolaAdamsOBE
It’s strange how you think being this unpleasant and patronising to a female Olympian is either acceptable or helpful to your cause.
It’s almost as though the cause is just an excuse you use to abuse women.
@davecrossx
@baddienut
You are lying. You know that you have met transwomen who want to enter female single-sex spaces.
This dishonesty is endemic amongst trans activists and is one reason why normal people won’t tolerate them in our communities.
@StephenORahilly
Nicely put.
Out of all the possible explanations for the information that’s available I think that yours is by far the most plausible.
It’s also something that we’ve seen before, several times.
@keybehaviours
@Keir_Starmer
It’s hard to believe, he’s suddenly acting exactly like his previous statements predicted.
Who could have seen that coming?
@ZJemptv
Telling people to refer to men as “she” will have been a large part of that.
Them realising that it was part of trying to normalise allowing males into female single-sex spaces was most of the rest.
@lecanardnoir
I can’t agree. I’m very familiar with the prosecutor’s fallacy, and the myriad statistical errors made in court cases, but that’s not what was used here. She was caught watching the latest baby die, doing nothing, and with the alarms strangely turned off.
@iordananndra
It’s positive news, she’s a strong supporter of women’s rights, and despite claims to the contrary, hasn’t said or done anything against ladyboys.
@CllrMegBirchall
They’ve accurately captured what you wrote.
You’ve made clear that you think supporting women’s legally protected single sex spaces is transphobic, and that women who advocate for it should face censure.
@femmehonnete1
Gently and politely explain that they are wrong, offer them therapy, and have the law deal with it precisely the way they would deal with a banker from Cricklewood who claimed to be Napoleon.
@dalmorgan
So the far worse murders in Rwanda, Yemen, Syriacand Ukraine bothered you less, but this much smaller conflict, the one involving the Jewish state is worse?
That’s quite telling.
@billybragg
Lineker didn’t express so much as a single word of empathy for the victims of the pogrom.
His first tweet after it was the following day and was about football.
@ThomasWillett9
No-ones stopping them. For some reason though they can’t leave their fetish to one side for long enough to use the right toilet when they need to go.
@SheaChristie3
@Specsavers
They probably use sex-based pronouns, like most people, which is perfectly reasonable.
Asking them to pretend that you are a woman is no different to telling them you’re the king and must be addressed as “your majesty.”
@HadleyFreeman
@thetimes
The volume of support for this is depressing. So many people (male and female) employing sophistry and lies to justify allowing males into female sports.
@LeaveHeardAlone
@TerfHermione
A cheek swab is dehumanising, but being watched urinating into a cup for frequent doping tests isn’t?
You people are morons.
@stephenwhittle
@Jeeveso2
@Klopps_Mug
Sex in biology refers to gamete support, and two gametes means two sexes.
You’re clearly someone who never really got science, so please don’t pretend that you can just pontificate on it from a standpoint of such ignorance.
@stephenwhittle
And that excuses people like you conspiring to drive her out of her career?
I’d say it demonstrates why troons are not welcome in decent communities, you can’t even see a case like this without wanting to make yourselves the victims.
@purplechrain
Citation needed.
The only studies that suggest women accept ladyboys in female spaces tend to be those where normal respondents don’t understand which people are transwomen and which are transmen.
@MarkSeddon1962
The important difference is that the Ukrainian army are not holding hostages in the basement of this hospital or using it as a centre of military operations.
@Docstockk
Referring to those with concerns as “right wing” is pretty poor. You do that to diminish the importance of their concerns.
People have seen videos of the rioting, pictures of the people setting the bus on fire and confronting the police. Haven’t you?
@jess_do_it_x
@jk_rowling
That doesn’t seem likely. When it comes to deciding who to abuse you guys seem to have no problem working out who the women are.
