Nicola Sturgeon?s sudden fall from grace over her mad trans policies reminds us how flimsy woke ideology really is. With a little pressure, it could all collapse very suddenly.

How the Unvaccinated Got It Right Wed Feb 01, 2023 13:00 | Robin Koerner
Whatever the risks associated with a Covid infection on the one hand, and the 'vaccine' on the other, the vaccination policy enabled massive human rights violations of the 'unvaccinated', endorsed by the 'vaccinated'.

Why Are Male Prisoners in Scotland Identifying as Women? Wed Feb 01, 2023 11:00 | Jane Dough
Why are hardened male prisoners in Scotland identifying as women? The answer is because the SNP's progressive reforms of women's prisons have turned them into much more attractive places than men's prisons.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4The first chapter of Veterans For Peace in the United Kingdom is now a reality. On a dreary “Easter Monday” afternoon in a working class section of London, England, veterans, allies, friends and families gathered for the inaugural event of Veterans For Peace UK. The Guiseppe Conlon Catholic Worker House hosted the event in the sanctuary of an old church draped with banners proclaiming peace and justice. British and Scottish veterans, young and old, fresh from their first official meeting as a VFP chapter, testified in word and song that they will go to war no more.

A hundred thousand welcomes to Peaceland
Now even the UK political mainstream is beginning to admit that a going to war in Afghanistan was - after all - a really stupid idea. (We told you so, didn’t the word “Afghanistan” ring any alarm bells?)
Meanwhile, war is glorified certainly more than even before in my lifetime, with all UK soldiers automatically labelled as “heroes” in the tabloid press. While their bravery is beyond doubt, the blanket use of subjective terms like “hero” really has no place in a newspaper that claims to report facts. Anyone who questions the wisdom of sending “our boys” (and girls) to Afghanistan finds themselves marginalised, lumped together with the jihadi nutters and their poppy-burning stunts. Compare this with civilian attitudes to the Army’s deployment in Northern Ireland during “The Troubles,” when a fairly big cross section of mainland UK opinion (especially in London, which bore the brunt of Troubles-related bombings in the UK,) weren’t afraid to say they felt their Army’s continuing presence in the Province was a bad idea.
