Dear readers, please note that , in the piece above abut the FWS judgment, I wrongly said that the two bonkers tribunal judgments were Sandie Peggie and Jennifer Melle. That should be Sandie Peggie and Maria Kelly. Jennifer's case has not yet got to a hearing.
A little before midnight Feb 11th I wrote to The Guardian:
"Whatever happened to “facts are sacred”?
A community in Tumbler Ridge experienced senseless violence when a troubled young man killed eight people and himself. But The Guardian seems to be more interested in ideological obfuscation than factual reporting; by describing him as “an 18-year old woman with a history of mental health problems” the paper does no service to either the victims, the traumatised community, or to the truth."
When I looked at the on-line report at breakfast, 8 hours later, without any flagging of their correction, the report had been changed to:
"as an 18-year old with a history of mental health problems."
Still slipped a "her" (possessive adjective, by the way, NOT a pronoun).
The editor did NOT flag the correction, though a footnote did point out a correction of a different aspect of the report.
Well done having a go at them and it looks like you (and probably others) had some effect. As I said in the piece, the police talking about a 'gunperson' should have alerted them to what was going on!! My Chambers dictionary has loads of letters you can add to the noun 'gun' (gunman, gunboat etc) but it doesn't include 'gunperson'!! I'm afraid that the Guardian is, as Mr Menno says, off with the woo!! I recall at the time of the Wee Spa man exposing himself in the women's locker room incident, if you recall that, they started off saying it was made up, then, when it was realised that the man was on the sex offenders' register, they simply stopped reporting it!
Ffs! 🤬🤬🤬 I’m afraid Im struggling to string a coherent sentence together after that lot. I did know about most of the pieces individually but seeing it all together! And £500 to bribe children to take part in a mass poisoning and destruction of their bodies. It’s beyond evil. Thank goodness for the KJK piece. It helped me to calm down (amazingly). What a bunch of pretentious crap. So we’re all unkind are we? P*** off Coleman and Lithgow you pair of prats.
When I was on an NHS Research Ethics Committee, that "incentive" alone would have been enough to get the proposal sent back with "No, that is not going to happen".
Your post shows the ludicrousness of "gunperson". If a sex-neutral term was needed, any of the following would do; suspect; shooter; killer; murderer (since there is no way is is less than murder when children are the victims). There was no need on the part of the Canadian police to invent the ridiculous neologism "gunperson", other than either a) virtue signalling, or b) a sneaky way of transmitting "It's a man!" I don't know enough about the RCMP to know whether they are likely to be trying to get around the risible trans-affirmative laws in place there, though
I think it is probable that the Mounties are off with the woo...and yes, I know what song that reminds us all of!! I am hoping that Meghan Kelly will cover this!
Actually I'm wrong - in the famous Monty Python song it is the lumberjack who is off with the woo and not the Mounties. Nowadays I think the Mounties would keep singing.
Yes. Mia Hughes is also based in Canada! And I think Kara Dansky will be looking closely at this. Karen Davis has done a bit which I will listen to today.

I’m sure we all knew what you meant 🙂
Not all my readers are as clued up as you, Petal 😃

WTF is WRONG with The Guardian?
Hi Patricia

But, again, well done plugging away at them

I agree with all of that, TT and then there is the irony of the Staes having to fund free speech groups!!!!
Dusty

Hear hear, Jeremy
I am hoping the JR challenge will lead to the disclosure of the names of those on the Ethics Committee who approved the trial.
As you know my FOI request was fobbed off.
Dusty
Exactly. I just don’t see how this can be allowed to stand. Here’s hoping that there’ll be a challenge from Sex Matters or others.
There is the challenge from James Esses, Keira Bell ands Bayswater?
Hopefully Sex Matters and others will intervene.
Dusty
Of course. I was thinking of the £500 bribe but if the challenge is successful, that would solve it.
Hi TT. Yes I think the £500 bribe will presumably be wrapped into the claimants' case.
I am hoping that the claimants are going for an interim injunction to pause the trial - I am dying to see the details of the claim!!!
Dusty
Are we likely to?
Yes, that offer to pay the children! I can't find words to express how I feel about it. You keep thinking it can't get any worse, and then it does...
Hear hear, Peedacanio
Exactly

Dusty
I'm looking forward to more in-depth analysis from those who know, too.
Yes. Mia Hughes is also based in Canada! And I think Kara Dansky will be looking closely at this. Karen Davis has done a bit which I will listen to today.
Dusty
I said yesterday ‘ gunperson in a dress ‘ led us all to exactly who it was
You did.
We’re not fuckin thick Jeremy , and the twats in ‘power ‘ should stop treating as such
Us
Even my wife, who is still at the "reasonable trans" stage said without prompting "That's going to be another tranny, isn't it?"
Reasonable trans stage !! Jeremy beat her up 😂😂!,
I hope everyone reading that knows me and knows I’m joking
She's getting there. (I can't say too much because of her employer.)

It’s a bit long but I’m pissed off so I don’t care
Just been watching toussie tv , htf can a British citizen ( no matter what you think of him ) be hounded out of Britain by islamists
Dusty just delete this but I’m fucking furious and needed to vent 🤬
And I don’t care how many names he has or how many houses abroad he has , he’s been warning us of this shit for years
Hi Petal
You're right TR should not be hounded out of Britain - it's outrageous!
