Trevor Kavanagh in The Sun: National Conversation is being gagged...

Wasn't it "In the thick of it" that did a press conference and really intelligent thoughtful questions from "the sun" and the "Hare and Hounds" and the "what is your favourite colour" from the Telegraph/Guardian. Made me think of that.

Another excellent piece, following Hope's article in The Sun last week.

I don't care which publication it's in (I'm actually embarrassed by The Guardian and BBC/Independent) as long as it's out.

I remember an old journalism tutor praising some of the tabloids for their writing - and this is a great piece.

More, please!

hello out there

We do live in strange times.

Today's the day I stopped lurking, wrote to me mp and even filled in some consultation thingy.

We're living in a world where the so called quality papers refuse to report news - and so we're left with the tabloid papers telling the story.

Its the sign of a very intelligent person who can get across complex ideas in a simple way to a non sophisticated audience

^ this, it takes real skill & intelligence to be able to do it. It was definitely the best introduction to the issue that I’ve read.

Excellent article. Thank you, Trevor Kavanaugh.

Wow what a clear and concise article. Well done!

My world is rocked - how is it that I am agreeing with the Sun commentary and am repelled and infuriated by the bloody Guardian that we have got for years?

Exactly. The only way the article could have been improved was if it exhorted everyone to fill in the government consultation on the GRA and ended with a direct link to the FPFW guidance booklet fairplayforwomen.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/FPFW-printable-guide-1.pdf

Yes really good article, thank you Trevor Kavanagh. This whole business has well and truly brought me down from my high Guardian reading horse.

I NEVER read the sun but got the car washed today and flicked through it while I waited as the only reading material there. I could not believe my eyes when I saw this article.

I think anyone with a modicum of common sense, realism or rational though is right leaning these days, because the modern left have lost their damn minds.

Mumfun

Me too. There are days when I am so down because my faith in certain organisations and institutions and media outlets has been so rocked.

It makes me laugh when TRAs refer to us as Right Wing. So not true

That is a good article.

I hadn't seen the interview with SG. Showed herself up a bit by just repeating "transgirls" are girls

Great writing by Trevor Kavanagh. Covers all the issues in a short accessible article. Great piece to share with friends to let them understand what going on.

The whole situation has been such a great wakeup to me that totalitarianism comes from the left as well as the right. Never thought women would be so let down by the Guardian and the Labour Party. Owen Jones and Ruth Hunt are an absolute disgrace and I hope they both get their just desserts in the end.

Bloody hell, those links below the article...

Really well written article.

And everything he's written is true and can be verified. Good article to wake up to indeed.

It is a good article.

TK has always been a great writer - stripping down the nonsense in a way that people can understand.

I've met TK a time or two. He is a good bloke.

And how embarrassing for the government, BBC and the guardian that the Sun has a better grip on reality and women’s rights than any of them.

This really is the weirdest thing to wake up to...Never in my wildest imaginings have I ever seen myself praising the Sun for anything but this morning, I am.
I have a feeling it's going to be a busy week.

Yesterday, celebrated author and trans surgery pioneer Jan Morris, 92, pleaded for calm. “People need to be kinder to each other,” she said.

How to make a non-statement.

Good article! And how embarrassing for the government, BBC and the guardian that the Sun has a better grip on reality and women’s rights than any of them. Fuck me there’s a sentence I never thought I’d construct.

God Susie Green is thick 🙄

What I hate most of all about this whole thing is the absolute shut down of debate.

Agree 100% with everything we say or do, just pushes people further apart

Concise and to the point. Thank you, Trevor.
