The State is now lecturing Irish families that hugging your grandkids needs “consent education”
yet Ireland's GRA allows a man to legally falsify his sex and misrepresent his marriage as a same-sex union without his wife’s consent or knowledge.
Consent matters, and concealment is a violation. In Ireland, the ability to withhold consent in the most fundamental of contracts has been legislated out of existence.
Pathologising normal family affection as the problem is a vile distraction.

Hugging your grandchildren is predatory, but putting male r*pists in women's prisons is just progress. Welcome to the Emerald Isle!

Had a feeling the floodgates will open. I hope they come forward. He should never be released.

Last night, I put forward a motion at Barnet Council to introduce layers of safeguarding and a presumption against children in care being referred to the puberty blockers trial.
Labour and Green councillors voted unanimously against it.
Shameful.

NEWS: Ruth Coppinger's Non-Binary and Intersex Recognition Bill is up for debate today. The Countess wrote to all TDs urging them to reject this Trojan Horse bill, which is another attempt to collapse the gender ground. This bill changes the fundamental principle of a birth certificate, an accurate record of the facts of a birth, into an ideological one. This undermines women's rights and child safeguarding. People with DSDs have repeatedly asked not to be used as political pawns by trans rights activists. Vote No.

🚨 In just ONE day, Big Brother has received 7,138 Ofcom complaints relating to Omar’s treatment of Rhianna. #BBUK
This is the third highest number of complaints for a single incident in the history of Big Brother, after Jade & Roxanne. It is in the top 10 most complained about reality TV moments ever, already.

Valdo Calocane killed Barnaby Webber, Grace O’Malley-Kumar and Ian Coates.
He escaped murder charges and was found guilty of manslaughter by diminished responsibility.
Now he could be released as early as January - less than four years after he killed them.
He should never walk free.

That needs to be a compilation video made of every single interaction with Omar and Rihanna and then it needs to be shown in schools to teach girls. This is what a coercive, Manipulative and gaslighting relationship looks like and how to stay away from it.

The way Omar acts towards Rihanna and the way he speaks about her and no less the way he speaks TO her is actually, insanely, concerning. I’m not being dramatic when I say any psychologist working on this show should be asking production to remove him #BBUK

Incel. Red Pill. Red flag. Abuse.
Call it whatever you want, but this is unacceptable behaviour, and has been going on for weeks.
If ITV, Rhianna or her family/friends don't report him, then he will continue to do it to other girls, and we all know how that ends.

Leics Police are still trying to hide the advice given to Watson by his superiors about continuing to harass people with anonymous accounts. Been fighting an FOI with them for some time.
My legal team would probably advise against posting about Watson. But stuff that, and here’s why.
I hate him. Whilst a serving officer with @leicspolice, he began to stalk me, my wife, my friends, my family. He used his position to investigate and report me for wife beating, battery, fraud, perjury, incitement to murder, and international terrorism. Astonishingly, he hid behind sock accounts at the suggestion of his sergeant.
He threatened media platforms (including @TalkTV) with legal action if I mentioned him. When I wrote about him in @TheCriticMag, detectives @LincsPolice threatened me with arrest.
When he was eventually thrown out of @leicspolice for Gross Misconduct…he promptly ran off to @LincsPolice to claim that the dismissal was a criminal act, perpetrated by me. Naturally, Lincolnshire detectives gave me a criminal record.
We are now due back at the High Court in an attempt to correct this.
I see Watson has been busily deleting posts. But that’s not my style. I stand by every word, every post. Watson is a man. Watson is a liar. Watson is a monster. @Nobodyuo7m

This is what an abusive relationship actually looks like.
Not shouting, screaming or swearing. Not physical abuse.
The quiet, slow manipulation that takes place in plain sight, and not one person is brave enough to stand up to him and stop it.

I’d like to add that I don’t personally think this is acceptable. What we witnessed was coercive abuse and manipulation. I’m glad they aired it, but they now need to put a stop to it, and make an example of it. Coercive control is literally illegal in this country and we are watching it unfold in real time. ITV need to react NOW. #BBUK
🚨 ITV have shared a statement about Omar’s behaviour towards Rhianna in the Big Brother House, following viewer complaints. #BBUK
"All Housemates receive Respect and Inclusion training and an extensive briefing from the Big Brother Senior team to prepare them for living in the House and to set out Big Brother’s expectations for appropriate behaviour and language.
Housemates are monitored 24 hours a day and any instances of inappropriate behaviour are responded to appropriately. Welfare and safeguarding are prioritised throughout the production, with a dedicated welfare team available to support Housemates before, during and after their time in the House."

🚨 Women’s Aid have responded to the ‘controlling behaviour being platformed on Big Brother.’ #BBUK
“Not only does Big Brother risk minimising survivors’ experiences, it also risks presenting abuse as a form of entertainment. We must do better to call out and reject abuse as soon as we see it, so women and children can learn the signs and themselves feel confident in speaking up and seeking safety.”
