*bullshit*. What really happens:
1. Hamas sterrorists walk towards an IDF post.
2. The IDF fire warning shots.
3. Hamas show bodies of terrorists killed elsewhere.
4. Hamas sell the BBC a fake story.
5. The BBC run it as a headline.Rinse and repeat.https://t.co/UkD6o0yhgL

Victory to the Darlington nurses
According to the Mail:
Eight pioneering nurses who formed their own union to defend the rights of women have won a landmark battle for a female-only changing room.
The Darlington nurses launched a legal action saying transgender policies put them at risk, deprived them of dignity and breached their human rights.
They claimed a biological male colleague identifying as a woman called Rose stared at their breasts as they were getting undressed and lingered too long in the changing room. One nurse had a panic attack after Rose repeatedly asked when they were alone, ‘Are you getting changed yet?’
Now, with their case heading to the courts, Health Secretary Wes Streeting has intervened, ordering Darlington Memorial Hospital to give the women their own room.
Good for Streeting.
The Darlington nurses sued their NHS trust a year ago, winning overwhelming support across the country. ‘Millions of women stand with them,’ said J.K.Rowling.
Their victory comes after it emerged last week that NHS chiefs have been forced to rip up their pro-trans guidance after it was rendered illegal by the Supreme Court.
The NHS Confederation, which represents trusts, has quietly withdrawn guidance telling hospitals that they should allow trans people to use their chosen lavatories and changing rooms.
A senior NHS England official visited Darlington Memorial Hospital unannounced last week and described the changing facilities for female staff as ‘inadequate’.
The official apologised to one of the Darlington nurses, promising to act ‘with speed’ by providing male, female and gender-neutral changing rooms, adding: ‘We want you to feel comfortable and safe.’
The salutary effects of the Supreme Court ruling….

Israel as scapegoat
Douglas Murray – whose book On Democracies and Death Cults: Israel, Hamas and the Future of the West was published in April – talks to Brendan O'Neill at Spiked:
We see young people from Britain to Australia, Canada and America, who really don’t have a dog in the fight, accuse the Israelis of things like colonialism, genocide and white supremacy – all of which are offences that these young people in particular have been told that they themselves are guilty of. As I wrote in my last book, The War on the West, it is unclear what you are to do, as a generation taught that you are guilty of crimes for which you have no responsibility. It is an unsolvable situation. But the Jewish State presents an answer – a scapegoat on to which you can project all the crimes you were told you were guilty of.
See also, On Settler Colonialism – from Adam Kirsch:
But what if there were a country where settler colonialism could be challenged with more than words? Where all the evils attributed to it – from "emptiness" and "not-enoughness" to economic inequality, global warming, and genocide – could be given a human face? Best of all, what if that settler colonial society were small and endangered enough that destroying it seemed like a realistic policy rather than a utopian dream? Such a country would be the perfect focus for all the moral passion and rhetorical violence that fuels the ideology of settler colonialism. It would be a country one could hate virtuously – especially if it were home to a people whom Western civilization has traditionally considered it virtuous to hate.

The Palestinian Authority advises Hamas
tinians—while also shifting responsibility for the claimed 55,000 deaths in Gaza onto Hamas.
Despite this, recent polls indicate that Hamas remains significantly more popular than Fatah, especially since the October 7 attack elevated Hamas terrorists to the status of Palestinian icons. According to surveys conducted in May 2025, 59% of West Bank Palestinians still believe that the October 7 assault on Israel was the "correct decision" [PSR]. In the hate-saturated Palestinian consciousness, their one day of glory, in which they raped, tortured, burned families alive, and murdered nearly 1200 Jews, was worth the cost of 55,000 Gazans lives.

Prevent threats
ed that people who worry about islamic terrorism are themselves terrorists."
It's not been doing too well, Prevent. It was the subject of a damning report two years ago after its failure to stop Axel Rudakubana, the Southport killer, who was referred to it on three separate occasions. Perhaps if he'd expressed concern over immigration the threat posed by his radicalisation might have been taken more seriously.

The awful badness of cisnormativity
ootball, and doesn't like dolls and girly things, then…*shrug*. So what? If you grow out of it after puberty, fine. If you don't grow out of it after puberty, fine. Maybe you're lesbian, maybe you're not. Whatever. You'll find your own path.
The new way: if you're a girl who likes cars and playing football, and doesn't like dolls and girly things, then…this means that you're a boy. That's because real girls don't like cars and playing football, and do like dolls and girly things. So you need to transition. First the puberty blockers, then the hormone replacement, and then, very likely, the surgical mutilation. You'll be sterile, your sex life will be problematic at best, and you'll require constant medical attention for the rest of your (shortened) life.
It's not hard to see which side here is governed by "societal expectations" and gender stereotypes.

town to another – but there is no restriction on what they can show, what they can see and what they can film when they're on location. There is no suggestion at all that any of those people are under any political influence."
This is utter rubbish, sadly.
Hamas's tight – and often violent – control over journalists has been well known for years. How on earth can the BBC claim not to know this?
From last month – Gaza journalists speak out about Hamas intimidation, threats, assaults.

The BBC’s wider failure to properly report on events in Gaza
From a Times report on the problems facing BBC Verify, and the ongoing war of words with the White House:
Despite the focus on Verify, some consider the criticism it faces to be a symptom of the BBC’s wider failure to properly report on events in Gaza.
“No one turns to Verify after it has done a bit of geo-locating and says ‘The wool has now fallen from my eyes and I can see clearly’,” said one senior journalist.
“Hamas is a body that routinely lies and executes people it doesn’t like, but we treat them as if they’re of equal status to a democratically elected government that runs an open society. Impartiality does not mean neutrality — it means truthfulness.”
John Ware, the former BBC Panorama reporter, called the broadcaster’s coverage of events in Gaza “quite timid”.
“[No] programme has spent any time in the Palestinian Authority, looking at the official outlets, which almost daily spew out the most revolting antisemitic tropes,” said Ware.
For the BBC only one side is guilty of spewing hatred, and it isn't the Palestinians.
