he doctor on the phone outside the patient’s room, during which Ms Melle referred to the patient as “mister” and “he”.
She said she was discussing a catheter, for a male person, which needed to be removed, adding: “This was a real-life medical scenario that required accurate terminology to avoid any doubt between medical professionals.”
Overhearing Ms Melle, the patient who was born a man but identified as a woman, took issue with the male pronoun and title.
The nurse replied that she was “sorry I cannot refer to you as ‘her’ or ‘she’, as it’s against my faith and Christian values, but I can call you by your name”.
The patient began to verbally abuse the nurse, saying: “Imagine if I called you n—–? How about I call you n—–? Yes, black n—–.” The patient also lunged at her despite being restrained and threatened to make a complaint, she said.
However, it was Ms Melle who was investigated and disciplined by the hospital in October, with a final warning and a referral to the Nursing and Midwifery Council NMC).
She is now filing a legal claim, supported by Christian Legal Centre, against the Epsom and St Helier University Hospitals Trust for harassment, discrimination and human rights breaches.
It is understood that she will remain on full pay following her suspension.
Kemi Badenoch, the Conservative leader, said her treatment was “completely crazy”. Mrs Badenoch added: “She has my full support. It’s time the Government pulls its finger out and intervenes to make it clear no one should be punished at work for stating biological reality to paedophiles.”
Well exactly.
e wrong things; Twitter and toilets.’
Even more on the nose, the programme for the show contained an article that claimed that the real-life Joan ‘died for the right to crossdress’. It also declared ‘death before detransition’.
His inner circle — Mike Donilon especially — were so blindly loyal and informationally siloed they couldn’t absorb what was staring them in the face.
The Democrats, even as late as July, could have found a fresh candidate capable of taking on what they said was a vital moment for democracy’s survival. We might have avoided our current abyss…
Why didn’t they? That is a question that will reverberate through history. Wokeness was a factor. The only reason the embarrassingly mid Harris was made veep in the first place was to fill a slot Biden had already marked for a woman, and, in the wake of the Floyd murder, a black woman seemed the only option. Everyone, particularly Pelosi and Obama, knew Harris was a disaster about to happen, and her vice-presidency had the lowest approval ratings in history. Obama told friends directly that he thought she couldn’t win. The night after the epic debate, Pelosi gritted her teeth: “Oh my God. It’s going to be her.” So yes, identity before merit was a principle the Dems clung to even at the expense of marching off an electoral cliff….
But in the end, the story of 2024 is painfully, excruciatingly human. Biden’s prickly pride and long-nurtured insecurity, the insularity of his too-loyal circle, and the entitlement that comes from decades of public life at the top all led to collective tragedy. We are now living in the wake of this man’s fallibility and stubbornness. It’s a story we all know well in our private capacities: the tale of trying to get grandpa to give up his car keys before he drives into a ditch and hurts someone.
Well, welcome to the ditch. And the casualties are mounting.
The disasters were multiple: Biden's refusal to admit his problems, and the misplaced loyalty of his family and circle; the "requirement" for a black woman as veep; and, of course, the "wokeness" factor, and in particular the embrace by all sections of the Dems, and progressive America in general, of gender politics.
The youths just can't resist South Korean TV. From the Daily NK:
North Korea has recently intensified television inspections in the border city of Haeju to ensure locals are keeping their channels locked and avoiding South Korean television shows.
“Two young people in Haeju were recently caught watching South Korean shows on their home television. Since then, monitors have been inspecting more homes throughout various parts of South Hwanghae province,” a source in the province told Daily NK on recently….
The two youths had been watching a show on a new television in late February when, out of curiosity, they experimented with the dial and managed to pick up a South Korean channel. For several days afterward, they secretly watched South Korean shows when other family members were away from home.
The youths had intended to keep their activities secret, but one of them mentioned a South Korean show they had watched during a drinking party with friends. One of these friends reported the matter to the anti-socialist and non-socialist group.
As a result, both people were arrested and are currently being held by police for questioning.
“When you purchase a new television in North Korea, you must lock the set so it won’t display South Korean channels. However, South Korean channels are easily accessible in South Hwanghae province, and anyone can tune in by simply deactivating the lock. These two youths apparently did that out of curiosity,” the source explained.
Since the youths were caught watching South Korean television, Haeju authorities have allocated more resources to checking for foreign media consumption and deactivated channel locks.
“The authorities had been inspecting channel locks since early March when they caught some young people watching South Korean television. Since then, anti-socialist and non-socialist monitors have been visiting multiple neighborhood watch units daily to check channel locks and search for flash drives and SD cards,” the source said.
According to a Daily NK report last month that quoted a source inside the country, state security agents in Ungjin county (South Hwanghae province) and Hyesan (Ryanggang province) have been visiting families to ensure their channel locks are activated.
The Haeju youths arrested for watching South Korean television are expected to receive severe punishment.

Teenage boys are the hot topic now, after the Adolescence storm. It was a girl who was killed, though. Joan Smith at UnHerd:
A third of teenage girls don’t feel safe at school. That’s the headline finding from new research, showing that the proportion has more than doubled in four years. In 2019, 15% of year 9 girls felt unsafe, compared to 34% in 2023. The fact that girls as young as 13 are scared of going to school should surely shame a civilised country.
The experience of teenage boys is a hot topic at the moment, thanks to the Netflix drama Adolescence. The Prime Minister has an embarrassing habit of making policy based on what people happen to be talking about at any given time. And while the programme has focused attention on the plight of young boys being infected by the misogynistic ideologies of online influencers like Andrew Tate, the real victim of the show is the young girl who is stabbed to death as a result.
Adolescence 2, perhaps? The girl's tale. That might make the PM take notice.
That message is only reinforced by the push for “gender neutral” toilets, removing a single-sex space where girls could take refuge. Schools are clearly failing young women. Do we have to wait for another Netflix series before ministers decide that making schools safe for them is an urgent priority?
