This article is primarily about males with trans identities not being able to use female toilets anymore. The hyperbole is off the scale. As we all know there are multiple sets of toilets at universities. So retain single sex female & male provision and convert a few to mixed sex. A non issue.

he first reference to #Orwell describing the Observer as 'the enemy of nonsense' is in a tv commercial featuring Edward Lear's nonsense poetry to advertise the newspaper. Watch the tv commercial www.hatads.org.uk/catalogue/re... and read my analysis www.darcymoore.net/2025/11/27/t...

Uhhh, this man who works for the @economist.com is publicly declaring he intends to violate the law and enter women's bathrooms and changing rooms? Creepy and dangerous.

Men proudly asserting that they have no respect for women's boundaries and privacy is patriarchal supremacy in a nutshell and demonstrates why we need laws to ensure women have female-only spaces.

Well, who could have predicted that?

Mixed-gender changing rooms 'magnet' for sexual predators, according to new report www.lbc.co.uk/article/mixe...

"A country that deprives its young ones of education in their mother tongue has denied them access to the deepest and most authentic sources of knowledge."

'Trans rights' giving virulent misogynists a place to peddle their hatred of women is one of the ugliest attacks on women's rights I've seen in my lifetime. Every time I encounter a male 'trans ally' I'm disgusted by their deep-rooted contempt. Like seeing Andrew Tate draped in a pink and blue flag.

One of the bleakest things about living in the UK right now is that the country is full of people who, if their community is given something nice, will just destroy it for no reason. I really don’t know how you fix that.

When do trans identifying men who commit sexual offences suddenly stop being trans women? Is it during the offence? Immediately afterwards? Are they women while fantasising about sexual offences? If it can be forfeited who decides? And who decides their identity can be retained? THEY'RE MEN! FFS.

BP to scrap paid rest breaks and most bank holiday bonuses for forecourt staff. Changes to employee benefits would cut take-home pay by at least 6.25%. Would exec pay and dividends be cut? No chance. Hard-won rights eroded as corporations rule without ever being elected. Back to Victorian times.

I have just worked out *happy dance* why #Orwell is listed at a farm in Kent on the 1921 Census. Oddly, two pages of parchment from 1754 read at Kew (National Archives) were the key. More anon.

It appears that the source of the Observer’s #Orwell tagline may well be a 1980s tv commercial. #TheEnemyofNonsense www.darcymoore.net/2025/11/27/t...

Good thing on BlueSky is it’s free of ‘forest city’ lobbyists Still just dreamt up by two yimby-concrete-the-land businessmen, seeking credibility and government ie taxpayer-funded legal-financial backing. Call it out. They can’t survive without government subsidies. In fact most on x can’t.

They have failed to look at what the power dynamic was that made the Mayorship feel like an abusive, undemocratic system. And so haven't taken any steps to fix it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4gp...

Bristol Council Audit Committee - 25th November, 2025 Attached is my statement. I think politicians in Bristol have fundamentally failed to look at why the Mayoral system was so unpleasant, and have assumed that moving to a committee system would be better.

Russia is reshaping monuments in occupied Ukraine — restoring Soviet-era sites, adding new symbols, and erasing Ukrainian memorials — to cast the invasion as the latest chapter in a shared “historic mission” and legitimize its rule. meduza.io/en/feature/2...
