The Bill Nighys are late this year, so it's good to see a few recent sightings.
Do your bit to help this amazing species:
– leave a cafe table & chair on the pavement
– if you have the budget, hang a bespoke navy suit outside your house
– keep your silk sock dispenser replenished

Susan Hall looks a dreadful candidate for Mayor but what business is it of Sadiq Khan's - a man, and a pretty contemptuous one at that - if a woman doesn't call herself a feminist? Bore off.

Indeed. I've also observed extreme progressives who love accusing everyone else of waging a 'culture war' are hysterically stoking one against Forbes, who, unlike them, intends to keep her religious views *out* of policy.

Important to note that Ross Greer is a Christian who believes trans people have the soul of the opposite sex in their bodies. Yet the media hasn’t touched this.

I have to figure out how to not to be the person who won the case, says Jo Phoenix, at the end of an engaging, very human talk. She’s a warrior. We owe her and every other woman who has gone through this harrowing legal process a huge debt.

Nina Welsch That goes for students as well, many of whom are not mature enough or interested in being intellectually challenged or want to engage in critical thinking

It's been really obvious too in 'the gender debate'. All those 'I know you're right but you could just say nothing' private messages alongside the public shamings. Because people know they're complicit in harm and doing nothing, and they hate the woman who reminds them.

Today Kate Forbes voted FOR Stage 1 of the Abortion Services (Safe Access Zones) bill. Humza Yousaf was absent. Just as he was for the final vote on equal marriage. So tell me again why Kate Forbes is being is vilified for her faith…

Everything in this 🧵. Everything.

So many people have convinced themselves they haven't been part of enabling this abuse of women because they just liked some tweets, just signed one letter, just shared some lies, just parroted some slogans, just backed one woman's abuser/ hounder over his target. 1/

Some sincerely oppose Kate Forbes because of her faith. Others, in what we might call the professional SNP, use this as cover. What really worries them is the prospect of a leader who demands results. They’ve been coasting for years. Forbes would mean shaping up or shipping out.

Anyway, it's been a long day, so here's a scone recipe in the style of Judith Butler.

One of the many upsides of Yousaf resigning is I won't have to continually watch that gif of him falling off a scooter much longer, which I admit I'm bored witless of.

HUMZA: THE BRIEFEST KING OF SCOTLAND
A Tragedy In Three Acts

Act 1
The Queen is brought down by the witches of the heath. She had sold her soul the *Misogynisti*the malevolent and childlike spirits of the Green Valley. The new King, mediocre and unfit for power, is cursed>

Humza Yousaf’s resignation speech bingo:

Racism blamed.
Not mentioning the Cass report.
Not mentioning GRR/identity politics.
Hot air about all he has achieved as FM with no specifics as to what.
Dig at Alba.
New leader must continue in progressive direction blah blah blah.

Thread.
