has interesting views on Russia and Ukraine:

Daly has consistently voted against resolutions that have been critical of Vladimir Putin's Russia. She said that, while she has not supported Vladimir Putin, she is "an unapologetic opponent of the rampant Russophobia that prevails and only benefits the military-industrial complex". A clip from a European parliament speech by Daly was broadcast on Russian state media Rossiya 1 and Channel One Russia, where a presenter and a guest said it was "evidence that western politicians were coming around to the Kremlin point of view on the Ukraine invasion". For her statements about the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the Security Service of Ukraine added Daly to a list of public figures it regards as spreading Russian disinformation and propaganda. Daly responded by accusing Ukraine's government of a "smear campaign against international figures who refuse to toe the line"…

ht among themselves trying to catch just one more person.”

The worst? Clothing with English text.

On March 22, a Chongjin resident named Kim was stopped by an enforcement squad while out with his 7-year-old child, who was wearing clothing with English text printed on it. The squad detained Kim and his child for three hours before calling them to the city’s Socialist Patriotic Youth League office for another two hours of questioning….

“Clothing with English text is popular among young people, so when enforcement squads are around, they take backstreets to avoid getting caught,” the source said. “People will ultimately wear what they want, no matter how much you try forcing them to dress according to socialist lifestyles.”

North Korean authorities target “capitalist delinquent” clothing as an ideological test. Their primary targets are people not wearing badges with portraits of late leaders Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il, along with those wearing jeans or clothing with English text.

Those caught face consequences ranging from writing self-criticism letters to public shaming via local broadcasts. In severe cases, they’re sentenced to forced labor.

t 94 pupils at state primary schools were suspended or permanently excluded for transphobia and homophobia in 2022-23.

These included 10 pupils from year one and three from year two, where the maximum age is seven.

One of these included a child of nursery age, the data show.

Helen Joyce, director of advocacy at Sex Matters, said: “Every once in a while, the extremes of gender ideology throw up a story that seems too crazy to believe, and a toddler being suspended from nursery for so-called ‘transphobia’ or homophobia is one such example.

“Worse still, this is not an isolated case. Apparently 13 four and five-year-olds were suspended or permanently excluded from school for the same reason.

“Teachers and school leaders involved in this insanity should be ashamed of themselves for projecting adult concepts and beliefs onto such young children.

“It’s unforgivable for children’s vital early education to be so traumatically disrupted by school leaders who prioritise activists’ demands over their charges’ wellbeing.”

Added:

This is totalitarian insanity. If you think small children should be punished for being able to recognise sex, you are a dangerous zealot who should be nowhere near kids or in any position of authority over them. https://t.co/IZI0sP58ss

You don't have to buy the whole Marxist schtick to get this.

Hamas – which is a proscribed terrorist organisation in the UK – orchestrated and carried out the biggest atrocity against Jews since the Holocaust on October 7 2023.

An internal BBC review found “serious flaws” in the making of the documentary, which was pulled from iPlayer shortly after broadcast.

Referring to the scandal, Lord Mann said: “Heads should roll. And the heads that roll shouldn’t just be the little heads. You know that’s always the danger with organisations the size of the BBC. Oh hey, there’s something wrong, let’s get rid of a few of the people at the bottom. No, let’s get rid of some at the top, would be my view.

“Someone at the top should carry the can. It’s not acceptable and I’ve been in there several times, I’ve offered them training, they’ve never accepted it. I think there’s often an arrogance there.”

Also, from an interview in the Sunday Times today with Danny Cohen, former BBC director of Television:

For years after he left the BBC, Cohen was careful not to criticise his former employer publicly. The Hamas attacks of October 7, 2023, changed this. “I didn’t feel I had a choice,” Cohen says, making clear that he is speaking in a personal capacity. “If I’d said nothing, I’d probably look back in ten years’ time and think I let myself and my community down by not speaking up.”

After the massacre the BBC did not describe the Hamas gunmen as terrorists. Then, last month, the broadcaster showed a documentary, Gaza: How to Survive a Warzone, about the conflict in the region. Hours after it went out it emerged that the 13-year-old boy who narrated it was the son of a minister in the Hamas government. The BBC subsequently removed the documentary from iPlayer.

“It’s been a disastrous moment for the BBC, and they’ve had to acknowledge very significant failures of journalism and oversight,” Cohen says. “Very senior people at the BBC saw the doc before it went out and didn’t ask enough questions.” He doesn’t name her, but he means Deborah Turness, the chief executive of BBC News. Cohen has been calling for an independent inquiry into the BBC’s coverage of the conflict.

“That is not an isolated moment — it’s an issue of systemic bias,” he argues, pointing to all the corrections — 80 in the first five months of the war — made by the BBC’s Arabic news channel after complaints of anti-Israeli bias. “The BBC continues to put defending the reputation of the BBC above transparency.”

Was it an issue when he was at the BBC? “I think there has always been a problem, but nothing on the scale it is now.”

ters, for example in prisons and sports. If Donald Trump says that the earth is round, should Leftists claim it is flat just to avoid being on the same side as him? This kind of tribal thinking has been horribly damaging to the Left. The idiotic positions that the Democrats took on these issues helped to gift the election to Trump. Mainstream politicians of all stripes need to learn from this that denying observable facts about the world is dangerous.”

For years now Sullivan has refused to be silenced by gender militants who have bullied and threatened her online. Instead she has continued to focus on “biological truth” and has striven – not always successfully – to staunch the tide of “ideological capture”, which has seen LGBTQ+ networks within our key organisations mount successful, sustained campaigns to change the culture within them.

“As a result, an atmosphere of fear has been created making people scared to speak out against or even discuss issues surrounding gender,” she says. “Bad decisions have been made by management because they have erroneously assumed these highly vocal activists represent far greater numbers than they do.”

Yet she still insists on recording gender identity:

“Sex and gender identity are distinct characteristics and are not interchangeable,” has always been her message. “But unfortunately people in a great many organisations don’t understand data collection as a discipline and have been taking advice from other people who don’t understand it either; the result is a mess. We need – we have a responsibility – to record both sex and gender identity.”

But why? The whole notion of gender identity is deluded – it's not a thing: it's a creature invented by trans activists. And including questions about gender identity will surely only add to the confusion, and replicate the disaster of the ONS survey where people not understanding what they were being asked led to the absurd "finding" that there more trans people in areas of high immigrant population. Everyone knows their sex – even if some try to deny or obfuscate – but only people versed in gender ideology have any idea what "gender identity" is supposed to mean.

Ah well. It's a big step forward anyway…
