Supported by the Christian Legal Centre, the nurses have taken legal action against County Durham and Darlington NHS Foundation Trust on the grounds of sexual harassment and discrimination, after they were forced to undress in front of a male colleague who ‘identifies’ as a woman called 'Rose.'
” with the charity as a result of the complaint around self-harm and that the organisation had “reviewed” its policies.
The remainder criticised LGBT Youth Scotland, which receives more than £1 million per year in taxpayer funding and is active in hundreds of Scottish schools, for its stance in support of puberty blockers and promotion of gender ideology.
LGBT Youth Scotland last year issued a statement after the Cass Review describing gender-affirming medical treatments such as puberty blockers as “wonderful” despite safety concerns which led to them being banned.
The charity regulator said it had now been “satisfied” with actions taken by LGBT Youth Scotland as part of its inquiry, but it refused to state what these were.
So that's alright then.

As has been noted, this is more comprehensible than actual Judith Butler.
UNRWA, which cries about being a victim of “disinformation,” is a $1.5 billion Western-funded agency for Hamas propaganda.

I do believe he is committed to Nato.” Well, I do not believe the prime minister really believes this and I also believe he does not even expect you, the voters of Britain, to believe it either.
There is no evidence that Donald Trump is committed to Nato and plenty to support the contention that he doesn’t give a bucket of warm spit for the Atlantic alliance. Nor is it in any way obvious that Trump’s vision for an end to Russia’s war on Ukraine has anything in common with the analysis shared by Ukraine’s true friends, that the only acceptable peace deal is one led by, and acceptable to, the Ukrainians themselves. Indeed, all the evidence available to us indicates that Trump’s vision for “peace” requires the dismemberment of Ukraine and the carving up of its assets between Russia and, remarkably, the United States itself.
Starmer’s lies about Trump are so obvious they now have a kind of pantomime quality. We know that the prime minister knows he is not saying what he truly believes. It is a performance and in its way an audacious one….
The lie is important and risky and dangerous and, in the end, perversely admirable. Flattering Trump is unpleasant but more rewarding than telling the truth. The reality is that Trump is a man of negligible moral value whose administration is a shameful exercise in degrading the US on a daily basis. This truth is self-evident and hardly needs to be amplified by the prime minister.
For you deal with the president you get, not the one you dream of. Britain is not Athens to America’s Rome — and never was — but if Britain’s place is to be a kind of bridge between Europe and the US it follows that Britain cannot blow up the bridge itself. If you accept the prime minister’s strategic analysis, you have little choice but to accept his tactical untruths too.
For Starmer is not a newspaper columnist and the King’s ministers are not social media pundits. There is no need for Starmer to say what we know he must truly think about Trump, for doing so cannot advance the national interest. So the fiction is to be swallowed, though it must also be digested without any accompanying illusions….
The prime minister has played a limited hand as well as can be expected but his success is only relative and depends on voters understanding his motives. It is fine to reject choosing between the US and Europe right up until the moment when the bridge collapses. Push always comes to shove and the British people understand that this American administration cannot be trusted. They are not enemies yet but nor are they the friends they were.
For the time being though, Starmer’s noble lies still stand. They are in such plain sight, after all, that they can hardly be misunderstood except — the prime minister must hope — in the Oval Office itself. If you must lie, and sometimes you must, it may be best to lie bigly. This is a strange form of leadership but it is leadership nonetheless.
I very much doubt that Starmer sees any of this as a humiliation. He's a lawyer by training: he's used to this kind of necessary prevarication.
an style=”font-size: 11pt”>Additionally, the North Korean authorities have planned to disguise weapon shipments by exporting drone components through multiple channels for assembly at their final destinations, rather than shipping fully-assembled drones. According to the source, North Korea has frequently used this method for past arms exports.
Payment methods are also becoming more covert. North Korea particularly favors cryptocurrency payments, attempting to sell arms using Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Monero to avoid transaction tracking.
North Korea further evades international surveillance by using overseas front companies to complicate transaction trails.
“Munitions Industry Department officials quietly boast that selling drones while circumventing sanctions is their specialty,” the source said. “They’re constantly developing new methods to avoid international detection.”
This is not good news.
t: 40px”>The BBC cannot help itself – and taking its cues from news channels that support the ‘resistance’, it jumped swiftly into action. The end product was a piece written by Jon Donnison that relied on two grieving fathers – both with children who were killed in the Israeli strikes.
Jon Donnison, has a long history of ‘missteps‘ when it comes to reporting on Israel. And this piece is a classic of its type:
The truth, as Collier goes on to demonstrate, is that the BBC presented this as a case of two innocent and grieving families torn apart by Israeli army thuggery, when in fact these were two terrorist households precisely targeted by the IDF.
The BBC even let one father talk about how the children wanted to grow up to be doctors. The Hamas PR agency could not have scripted it any better. The BBC may just as well be spokespeople for the Gazan terrorists.
Too many red lines have been crossed. It goes way beyond just the BBC – and it is spreading poison deep into the veins of British society. We need an urgent independent inquiry set up NOW to investigate just how deeply our own media organisations have been turned into propaganda arms of radical Islamic terror groups.
That's "Jenny" Harvey, he's part of Unison's trans network…he writes trans inclusion policies for them…

The continuing US love affair with Putin:
Sir Keir Starmer's plan for an international force to support a ceasefire in Ukraine has been dismissed as "a posture and a pose" by Donald Trump's special envoy.
Steve Witkoff said the idea was based on a "simplistic" notion of the UK prime minister and other European leaders thinking "we have all got to be like Winston Churchill".
In an interview with pro-Trump journalist Tucker Carlson, Witkoff praised Vladimir Putin, saying he "liked" the Russian president.
"I don't regard Putin as a bad guy," he said. "He's super smart."
Witkoff, who met Putin 10 days ago, said the Russian president had been "gracious" and "straight up" with him. Putin told him, he added, that he had prayed for Trump after an assassination attempt against him last year. He also said Putin had commissioned a portrait of the US president as a gift and Trump was "clearly touched by it".
During the interview, Witkoff repeated various Russian arguments, including that Ukraine was "a false country" and asked when the world would recognise occupied Ukrainian territory as Russian.
Witkoff is leading the US ceasefire negotiations with both Russia and Ukraine but he was unable to name the five regions of Ukraine either annexed or partially occupied by Russian forces.
Another of Trump's army of incompetents.
sympathetic voices saying, “In these difficult times, even maintaining appearances is challenging.”
In reality, “formalism” has become chronic in North Korea. The authorities impose unrealistic demands, forcing those on the ground to obsess over ceremonies and procedures. Local officials, working with limited resources, have simply been going through the motions of implementing directives.
Meanwhile, the Workers’ Party continues to pressure local officials to reduce their “formalistic working attitude,” creating a disconnect.
They have to do things a certain way, implementing party directives, yet they have to do it spontaneously. It's a hard one…but they'll get there in the end. True freedom comes with obeying the party. "Freedom is slavery".
