About time imo [[https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cx2ln31g8gvo https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cx2ln31g8gvo]]

Yes, the article currently on the BBC website uses female pronouns and there is no indication that HH is male. I did see a version of the article that avoided pronouns, so I assume they have changed it?

Interesting. Seems like there's an internal battle going on within the BBC about how to report on stories involving trans identifying people

If they've altered an article aren't they supposed to let readers know?

BTW, what's in the water in Aberdeen? I remember eight years ago when David Challenor was found guilty on heinous charges of raping a child and the spotlight was turned on his son Aimee, who had not long before stood for the Deputy Leadership of the Green Party. One of the many unsavoury things that emerged was that Aimee made regular visits to Aberdeen to play at being an adult baby and a furry with what I think was another polycule.

Yes, that was a polycule of three.

Aimee Challenor, Nathaniel Knight (US), and a third member who lives/d in Aberdeen. Can't recall his name.

Probably to hide the grottyness of their sofa.

If you think the sofa is grotty, wait till you see the kitchen <boak>

Is this a parody because 😂

It is. Dame Katy always offers a bit of light relief in the Terf wars.

I disagree. This is not investigative journalism, it is reportage. Note they also did not mention the skin colour or nationality of the offender. Because those weren’t mentioned in the police statement either.

Show quote history

And yet they are usually mentioned in crime reports. No need to explain your opinion. We all know why you’re defending him.

Lalgarh · 17/07/2026 14:22

Channel 4 would probably would commission that. Them in their all inclusive progressive pomp thinking they are Pushing Back Boundaries like with the 🐕 ing stuff.

A couple of replies down is a photo said to be of all four polycule blokes: https://x.com/i/status/2077462103737208838

Lots of reasons to 🧐 but can anyone make the pillows make sense? They seem to be suspended in front of the men's arms on each side?

It's like a trans Sex & the City.

None of them are low profile. I was at a loose end and tried to find a picture of all four, without success, but there probably is one. #4 is Tabitha or Tabby. I'm not going to post a picture but there's one here. Tabby has the creepy headtilt off to a fine art. https://x.com/AnchoressT/status/2077008341012750361?s=20

I still think, while I suspect that is right, that they've then done a deeper dive into his online comms and the charge is to do with whatever they've found. Which should put the whole polycule in trouble....

Show quote history

Saw something on FB earlier that suggested FWS had handed Plod Scot a dossier after the ‘move along now, nothing to see here’ earlier refusal to arrest him, and that this had triggered the current situation. No way of verifying that, but considering some of the past rhetoric coming out the polycule, it does suggest that maybe there’s a bit more going on than we currently know about. Time will tell, I guess.

FaithHopeCarnage · 17/07/2026 14:00

Whilst we wait to find out what Herbert has actually been charged with, may I propose that he face an additional charge of crimes against the English language?

Wonder how many of these FOI requests were submitted during working time…

Sorry to digress slightly, but am I right in thinking that the now nationally famous "polycule" consists of three trans-identified men?

Presumably they all consider themselves lesbians?

Like that gun nut who murdered a man and also killed cats

Tabby looks like Robbie Coltrane in threatening psychopath mode 😳

Lins77 · 17/07/2026 13:36

I live in Aberdeen. Not sure why it has become some sort of tourist destination for weirdos 😕

lcakethereforeIam · 17/07/2026 13:35

When I hear someone is living in a polycule, I see them living in a spherical, multifaceted house like a dodecahedron. Which seems hi-tech and charming. Pity the reality is rather sleazy.

.gif doesn't offer much for polycule. Which is probably for the best.

Presumably “charged with bullshit” is Herbert, and “splashed all over the press for no reason” is Sophie Molly?

Euan claims to be a journalist so should be pleased to be splashed all over the press.

murasaki · 17/07/2026 13:26

I don't think he's been splashed all over the press that much at this point, has he? Just Herbert. Also, given he trades off putting himself out there, it's a bit rich.

I think he may be genuine on that front and have had it done. After all, the other two members of the polycule seemed, prior to this, to be more aggressive and still do, so I suspect he's the passive one of the three.

I really didn't want to think about that.

I don't really care what consenting adults get up to, but 🤢🤢🤢
