Daily Mail RICHARD LITTLEJOHN: I've always admired Linda Bellos, and it's outrageous that she should be dragged to court for vowing to defend herself against violent trans activists

Blimey, lots of good points from Richard Littlejohn. Good to see in the mainstream media.

12thGuelph · 31/08/2018 09:09

Sorry, this Richard Littlejohn?

LangCleg · 31/08/2018 09:12

the militant ‘trans’ lobby is now the most bigoted, intolerant pressure group in modern Britain

Nail, meet head.

Procrastinator1 · 31/08/2018 09:13

Oh no, I now think I might have agreed with Michael Winner on something.

Charliethefeminist · 31/08/2018 09:14

I know, it's so v frustrating, we all bloody know it, but most journalists don't have the guts to say it.

Charliethefeminist · 31/08/2018 09:15

Didn't he die? I thought he died

Charliethefeminist · 31/08/2018 09:17

He did die, but oddly, he was a Ben Goldacre doppelganger in his youth

Yes Michael Winner passed away - a couple of years ago now.

Richard Littlejohn wrote another good piece on this subject a little while ago. I remember it being linked to and, again, many people being shocked at agreeing with him.

This made me chuckle...

Love it

Mrbatmun · 31/08/2018 09:30

Well the TRAs will have a field day with it because its Richard Littlejohn, but yep, I agree with that article. We are probably in agreement that the sky is blue as well. I am going to save that pic @terryleather Smile

Ironically, isnt that Linda Bellos, one of 'The Lesbians', in that Winner/Littlejohn video linked above?!

ImPreCis · 31/08/2018 09:32

Weird times when I am agreeing with not only journalists but also publications that I wouldn’t have given headspace to a year ago.
Let down by my politics and media of choice (looking at you Labour, Green and Grauniad).

Charliethefeminist · 31/08/2018 09:33

This piece makes a very nice match with the Economist piece. Two points on the spectrum of transactivism, the persecution of women and the horror inflicted on children.

Charliethefeminist · 31/08/2018 09:33

I say nice. I mean they aren't pot dogs. But hope you get me.

Should be renamed Stop Funding Facts.

Wow, they think that an article defending a woman who is being prosecuted for saying that she would defend herself if she was attacked, is 'hate'?

FlippinFumin · 31/08/2018 09:40

I read the piece about Jan Morris first, as I could not bring myself to read anything by Littlejohn. What a brilliant person, interesting, and I must go find more so her obituary isnt just 'Sex Change Author Dies'.

Anyway, I read the other piece. Trans Taliban, he gave us that, we gave him the rest. Thank you for writing it though Richard, please write more about this. There is loads of stuff here, I understand you have to be careful, but please consider writing about David Challoner and bringing that to a wider audience. Especially the Green Party calling us women 'non men'. Thank you.

Looks like Linda Bellos to me.

What is it that Michael 'calm down dear' Winner was actually referring to? What did Littlejohn say that was so offensive.

12thGuelph · 31/08/2018 09:49

That was my point, yeah, with Mr I've Always Admired Linda Bellos.

Charliethefeminist · 31/08/2018 09:52

Winner was pretty awful to women wasn't he. Little surprised no one agrees with me about him and Ben Goldacre.

Mrbatmun · 31/08/2018 09:54

From the article:

But although we’re diametric opposites on most issues, I’ve always admired her conviction, passion, honesty and willingness to speak her mind, regardless of what the hell anyone else thinks.

What's your point @12thGuelph

Also Michael Winner was pretty well known for being a big old sexist twat, but I agree with what he is saying in that video. How can that be? Shock It's a mind fuck innit?!

BeUpStanding · 31/08/2018 09:59

Just when I think the world can't get any weirder, I find myself agreeing with every word of a Richard Littlejohn column! Bloody hell

FlippinFumin · 31/08/2018 10:07

I wonder if the left feel conflicted at all? I mean I am on the left but I know where I stand, firmly with women and children first.

Surely they must be thinking 'Linda Bellos, isn't she one of us? What on earth has she done so dispicable? Threatened to defend herself you say? Is that a crime now?'

Come on you fucking lefties, wake up and stop being woke! Linda Bellos is one of us, she is on the good side. Look at who you are defending, are they on the good side? Have they always been on the good side? Have they fucking fought your fights with you like Linda has? Do they even give a fuck about any policy that doesn't front and centre trans rights? My God sometimes I am so angry with you all, fucking wake up!

HotRocker · 31/08/2018 10:11

My gosh, a Richard Littlejohn article I agree with, we really are living in the upsidedown.

MnerXX · 31/08/2018 10:12

OMG, Richard Littlejohn absolutely nailed it. Shock Confused Grin

A really well crafted and thought out article. Trans taliban made me chuckle.
