One thing none of the senior BBC journalists who are effectively telling us all (mostly uppity women of a certain age) to pipe down seem to have taken on board:
A broadcaster and news service that persistently refers to male murderers and sex offenders as women will not be trusted in any of its other reporting. It doesn’t matter how wonderful so many of its programmes may be. The BBC has committed an enormous, unforgivable breach of trust.
In the past 24 hours we have been lectured by a string of senior BBC journalists who - even now - refuse to accept that the BBC has for years been an instrument of genderist propaganda - and who certainly cannot face the awful truth of how this happened. It was not unfortunate mistakes by juniors. It was BBC policy - mandated from the top.

Let’s face it, if GB News had faked a video clip like Panorama, you can be sure that the BBC’s defenders would be screaming for Ofcom to take its broadcasting licence away.
Hypocrites & charlatans the lot of them.
This has happened far too many times.
Litigation will finally put an end to this.
Many clinicians need to be behind bars.
I will be on campus at @UCLA this Thursday, November 13th. Drop by and say hi, if you like.
I visited UCLA around this time last year, and this happened.
Since then, the gender clinic at CHLA has been shut down, and Clementine is suing the health professionals involved!
It’s good to see that the tide has finally turned against the sanctimonious BBC.
Only the BBC can save itself. I've written for tomo's @thetimes on how resignations aren't a fix: the BBC needs to confront the governance & editorial failures that have made it so vulnerable to unrepresentative groupthink on issues like sex and gender.

It’s right that Tim Davie and Deborah Turness have finally taken responsibility and resigned from the BBC. But let’s be honest, this has been a catalogue of serious failures that runs far deeper.
The Prescott report exposed institutional bias that cannot be swept away with two resignations - strong action must be taken on all the issues it raised. The culture at the BBC has not yet changed.
BBC Arabic must be brought under urgent control. The BBC’s US and Middle East coverage needs a full overhaul. And on basic matters of biology, the corporation can no longer allow its output to be shaped by a cabal of ideological activists.
The new leadership must now deliver genuine reform of the culture of the BBC, top to bottom - because it should not expect the public to keep funding it through a compulsory licence fee unless it can finally demonstrate true impartiality.
Now the head of the BBC has announced his resignation journalistic standards have improved already.

BBC director general Tim Davie and News CEO Deborah Turness have resigned following the revelations of BBC bias by the Telegraph.
Good but they should be the first of many. The BBC is now a national disgrace.

1./ 🧵The BBC's Trans Scandal.
The censoring of trans issues by LGBTQ+ activists at the BBC is symptomatic of a bigger failure by the mainstream media: groupthink. A perfect example is the influence of that most pompous of lard-arses ex-MP John Nicolson.

This is really dangerous territory.
All the progressives who will undoubtedly celebrate this, as Joey Barton is one of their political opponents, are not thinking ahead (no shock there).
When their views and opinions are against the government of the day they will face this.
All governments tend towards restricting free speech.
I'm glad I pay to support The Free Speech Union.

The 1.5°C target has NO scientific merit.
The idea that a global mean temperature 1.5°C or 2°C higher than it was during the coldest epoch in the last 10,000 years is catastrophic is as equally laughable.
The United Nations has been recycling the same garbage for 37 years.
The hard truth is that the world has failed to ensure global warming remains below 1.5°C.
We need a paradigm shift to limit a temporary overshoot’s magnitude & duration & quickly drive it down.

So just to be clear, it's completely ok to edit politician's speeches, but never ok for women presenters to silently express the views of the majority of people by highlighting the absurdity of Orwellian language-policing...? (Only *women* can and do get pregnant).

This is not journalism. Any 'journalist' describing Tommy Robinson as ‘far-right’ is a political activist who can safely have all their opinions dismissed.
The BBC is a rotten festering carbuncle on the soul of this nation. Pure poison.

The Tommy Robinson verdict is a win for us all in curbing the excesses of the grossly oversized controlling state.
No matter what you think of him.

If internet pornography had never developed and become so widespread, the modern transgender phenomenon fueled by autogynephilic transsexuals would have never taken off. It would have remained an extreme statistical outlier only pursued by those with the most severe pathology.
