As we thought, Bercow does indeed have connections with LGBT lobbying groups - he is president of the Kaleidoscope Trust

YY, but it’s not just that: we’ve reached a position where politicians are deliberately trying to block discussion. Of locking rapists and paedophiles (necessary fucking disclaimer: not all transwomen are like that, obviously.) up with women and children. What the fuck.

scepticalwoman · 14/09/2018 14:14

A very good article. Protection of children and the population from paedophiles and sex offenders should be straightforward. #nodebate

How have we reached a position where politicians are frightened of stating this?

Thanks again James.

LangCleg · 14/09/2018 14:06

James is definitely getting crosser and crosser.

As does anyone who actually engages with this madness.

DereksSexyPyjamas · 14/09/2018 13:53

Good lord, he’s not pulling any punches, is he?

But even by the dismal standards of the trans debate, where supposedly responsible figures routinely shirk their duties to appease a small, aggressive group of activists and lobbyists, John Bercow’s decision strikes me as repulsive, a disgusting abdication of responsibility that brings shame on its author and his office.

Stickerladiesoftheworldunite · 14/09/2018 13:51

I spoke to Bercow once. I did not get a good vibe.

Thanks James. I remember John's words at the Pink News event, I think he cited Churchill.

This is all shades of wrong and in light of a major public consultation, so kudos to James for pursuing the truth.

^ Women (and children) are learning how little we have ever mattered.

Knicknackpaddyflak · 14/09/2018 13:36

I love the belief of these nutjobs that if they can just control people talking it about it the problem is going to magically go away. And that it's never going to come back and bite them on the bum.

BernardBlacksWineIcelolly · 14/09/2018 13:32

The State did not just put a rapist in a women’s jail, they put a convicted paedophile in prison with children

Angry

what the actual hell is going on?

Bercow is not going to move www.theguardian.com/politics/2011/nov/28/john-bercow-coat-of-arms

SwearyG · 14/09/2018 13:10

Bercow threw a reception for LGBT stakeholders a while back (may have been stonewall) and was derisive about people - women - who questioned trans dogma. There was a thread on here at the time. He is clearly not neutral on this matter.

TimeLady · 14/09/2018 13:10

Thank you, James, for not pulling any punches. I'm also encouraged to see that the comments are backing your disgust at Bercow's decision so far

Needmoresleep · 14/09/2018 13:07

Once saw Bercow in Sainsbury's struggling with a self-service till. "Unexpected item in the bagging area." A strange man.

Excellent article

JK writes very clearly. Very to the point. He is very good at drilling it down to the important point.

Off to look at Kaleidoscope Trust..........

God that’s good. Thank you JK. Oh and JKR as well for the tentative, perhaps accidental, but not yet rescinded, Like.
