#SeeItSayItIgnoreIt: Rape as “Non-Emergency”

The attempted classification of rape as a ‘non-emergency’ would be shocking in any Western democracy; but in 21st-century Britain, the home of Magna Carta, it now appears the right to justice is too much to ask.

Thoughtcrime Britain

Isabel Vaughan-Spruce must have presented quite a challenge for the officers: a lone, middle-aged Catholic woman, armed with a double-barrelled surname, silently thinking forbidden thoughts.

Trans Women: The Patriarchy’s Ultimate Victory

Having spent most of my life under the impression that the patriarchy is a myth, I think I’m beginning to see the light.

Bright Horizons: Taking a Dim View of Girls

Bright Horizons sparked outrage with a pamphlet which offers advice on raising “children who identify as female.” It encouraged parents to stop using ‘gender-influenced’ terms like princess and tomboy.

Predictably, this week’s Australia Day celebrations were mired by protest. There were calls, not just to change the date of ‘Invasion Day’ or ‘Survival Day’ as the rebrands have it, but to abolish the ‘Celebration of genocide’ altogether.

Shamima Begum: BBC’s First Jihadi Correspondent

It is of course impossible to gauge what proportion of the BBC’s diversity quota is allocated for returning jihadis, but what is clear from Begum’s series is that the current thinking at Broadcasting House is that it’s “best to be ahead of the game.”

Salman Rushdie: The Hour is Late

Salman Rushdie: The Hour is Late

For all the bluster and promises from Tory HQ, none have the stomach for it. Which means, until there is a sea change in Britain, and the West more broadly, the next attack is a matter of when, not if.
