Thanks Dusty, we all knew this was coming, but seeing it in black and white really is terrifying. I’m more terrified for children than anything, how many more will be sucked into a fetish cult? Your song choice says it all.
On a lighter note, I’m pleasantly surprised to see that the Green manifesto is less insane than we expected. 😁
Kia ora from NZ Liz! We’re in full winter, keeping warm and dreaming big TERF dreams - putting them into action with rallies/speaking and writing. Much love to you, as ever xx #NEVERSurrender
Excellent, justifiably angry analysis of labour’s bonkers manifesto, Dusty. I am spitting feathers about this. How the f*ck are they going to implement Cass & ban conversion therapy at the same time? I’ve sent a piece of my mind to Bristol’s Women’s Voice for their hustings ban on KJK; in fact, I’ve sent several tweets, including Radical Cartoons article, not that it will do any good. Loved the Katie Hopkins video; she makes more sense than the Greens or the labour party. I vividly remember the ‘Eve of Destruction’; I was at school when I first heard it & it still has the power to chill. Thanks for all your hard work, Dusty. It is much appreciated. #BeMorePorcupine
I would contrast their commitment to implement Cass not only as you say to their commitment to bring in a conversion therapy ban but also their failure to refer to the situation in schools. There are outstanding pieces of draft education guidance and we'll have to see what they say about them but I am concerned that they have not referred to them! I can see a bit of a scrap coming up between West Streeting and Dodds.
Well done re Bristol Women's Voice - outrageous!
Hopkins video was superb - 'powered by penguins farting' 😂
I was amazed at how relevant Eve of Destruction remains!!
Agreed, Dusty; the situation in schools is particularly urgent. Unfortunately, the political parties have shedloads of money to influence the public. We will all do our bit to help spread the word and #BeMorePorcupine.
The Labour policy of protecting women’s spaces whilst advocating a form of self ID was summed up by Orwell “ doublethink means the power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one’s mind simultaneously and accepting both of them”.

Hi TT
I haven't got to the Greens yet but I think there may be a difference between the UK Greens and the la la Scottish Greens?
The Lib Dem one is off with the woo woo!!
Dusty
You do realise I was referring to the Katie Hopkins version of the Green manifesto. 😁
OH no I missed that completely (since I haven't read the Green manifesto yet) 😂😂😂
I was thinking - really!! Not insane?? 😂
Dusty
😆 I must write out 100 times ‘ the internet doesn’t do irony or nuance.’
Entirely my fault, TT missing the nuance 😊
Eating insects 😂
Dusty
‘Eating insects’. Are you taking the Micky? As a porcupine, they’re one of my favourite sources of protein.
I had a little chat about this with my Labour candidate for York Outer. He didn’t seem that interested 😟
Hi Lyndsey
I'm afraid that doesn't surprise me! And I speak as a former Labour loyalist! Stonewall have done their work well!!! 😒
You have reminded me that I need to send my gender questions to our candidates here!
Dusty
I’m politically homeless! Maybe I’ll just write “Fuck off the lot of ya!” On the ballot paper. At least my conscience will be clear! 🤣
It may well be that some Terfs will have to do that as you say, Lyndsey.
There are some smaller parties that are sympathetic - I hope to move on to other manifestoes.
Dusty
I'm going to make Monday Manifesto reading day!! Gulp!!
There is a lot to be said for a one page manifesto (PoW) 😂
You're right - Michelle's korero is pure fire! #BringtheLightning #MWK #WomenWILLSpeak
Thanks, Rex and what an amazing speech by Michelle 😊
Dusty
Greetings from Terf island, Rex. Hope you’re well and fighting fit.
Kia ora from NZ Liz! We’re in full winter, keeping warm and dreaming big TERF dreams - putting them into action with rallies/speaking and writing. Much love to you, as ever xx #NEVERSurrender
Love your work and thanks for all you are doing.
Thank you TT, great handle! I won’t ever stop until every tranny is back in their lane.
Brilliant! #neversurrender.

Great quote, TT, that's going in the next update 😊
