Another good article from Janice 👏🏻

That is a very very good article.

Stand by for smoke bombs, Janice.

Excellently

I see the attempts to bully her into shutting up went well.

An excellent article which I will save for future reference,

That is extremely well-written and to the point.

Two things out of many excellent points:

1. I am glad she stated what Professor Whittle said. While welcome that Whittle acknowledged thereafter that it was appropriate, changing the online copy of the Guardian erases the fact that Whittle said it for future readers.

1. I am glad that Janice says that she makes these arguments because women cannot risk their livelihoods by making them. But the visibility of the issues relies on women who have risked abuse and their jobs to make the arguments. Janice Turner is one reason I buy the Times.

One more point: the correct data from GIDS. Good to see in print.

Superb.

Thanks Janice.

Brilliant and important. At least someone is writing about the completely inappropriate conversation around suicide.

Great article Janice. Awful that you’ve been subjected to such a horrible slur.

An excellent article. Janice is one of the main reasons why I have taken out an online subscription for The Times.

I wonder if her bosses are aware of not only how many new subscriptions her work has led to, but how many of those switched over from The Guardian. Not only poaching customers from your rival but persuading them to pay to read?

Give Janice Turner a raise, is what I'm saying.

Email to the Times Editor to make the point? They won't publish it but a show of support might be good. I'm going to.

We need bags. Bags that list:

I stand with...

Maybe we need readily updatable ones with digital displays - but we need something.

The whistleblowers of major scandals have been predominantly female. Janice is showing courage even tho' she has already been targeted in such an abhorrent way.

Good idea citykat think I’ll do that. Great article and one of her strongest yet - when will some of the media outlets do the same - BBC especially.

Another great article. Well done Janice.

This past year, since Maria Miller’s women and equalities committee report, must have been gruelling for many trans people. I feel huge compassion for those stuck in the crossfire of a vicious debate. But Mrs Miller is to gender what David Cameron was to Brexit. She created a toxic, divisive mess then left others to clear up. In ignoring concerns from women’s groups, listening only to trans lobbyists, she recommended far-reaching legal changes including self-identification and an end to single-sex spaces, thus rewriting the definitions of “man” and “woman”.

This !!!!

A good article and comments underneath are excellent.

What does Jackie Doyle-Price, the UK’s first Minister for Suicide Prevention have to say about the suicide stats?

This is a sensible, calm and rather important piece by @VictoriaPeckham, who has been appallingly traduced and deserves total support

Editor of the Jewish Chronicle.

Brilliant article. Will buy a paper copy today too.

Here's someone taking issue with Janice:

It is contemptible.

Yeah, they got owned though, didn't they? By the facts.

They more they post, the more unhinged they look.
