Irony is dead. Satirists, throw down your pens in despair. Writers of dark comedy, train for an alternative career. You'll never compete.
Powerful men use the law to intimidate women theyโve abused into silence.
But itโs time to flip the fear. Help us to fund cases that turn the tables on these men, empower women to speak out โ and get justice:

Jolyon Maugham, the director of the GLP, has a history of harassing women that campaign for sex based rights.
This includes Sarah Phillimore who has had to take legal action against him. crowdjustice.com/case/protectioโฆ

The thing about psychopaths is that they often boast about their psychopathic behaviour. They just can't seem to help it. Brand is even more revolting than I thought, and I thought he was pretty revolting.
Even if Russell Brand wasn't guilty of r*pe, I'd still be happy with his conviction and whatever sentence he gets on the grounds of it being justice for his childhood dog.
I mean, he wrote the below extract himself. As if he thought people would think: "Oh that's mean, but what a refreshingly honest chap he is!"
If he could do this to a defenceless animal and laugh about it years later, it tells you a lot about his treatment of those around him who he saw as vulnerable.
What an evil prick. Fuck him.
There seems to be an outbreak of men seemingly quite distressed to learn that another man is going to be sent to prison for rape and sexual assaults he committed years ago. It's as though they think time should erase the wrongdoing. I wonder why they're all so worried. ๐ค

Helen can't make out why disabled kids don't lose their disabilities at age 18. It's a puzzle.
Look at this chart ๐
Many if not most of the children on DLA will go onto PIP.
Around half of children who get DLA become NEETs.
Thereโs a clear path from child DLA to PIP to a lifetime on benefits.
We must change this.

๐จ SIX DOGS AND THREE RABBITS LEFT TO DIE IN FILTH - OWNERS SMILED AND LAUGHED
Six dogs and three rabbits died agonising deaths from starvation and dehydration inside a filthy County Durham home, where an RSPCA inspector was met with a โstrong smell of deathโ โ and occupants who appeared to find the situation funny.
Nathan Race, 38, and Jade Race, 36, also known as Boyd, left the animals without food or water for at least three days.
Dead dogs lay decomposing or mummified inside filthy crates. Three rabbits were found in plastic hutches buried beneath thick layers of mouldy waste. Empty bowls, overflowing faeces, rubbish and thousands of flies painted a horrifying picture of neglect.
One dog, Mila, had chewed her way out of her cage before dying in the living room. Investigators believed a toilet containing a small amount of dirty water was the only water source she could reach.
The cruelty extended to another property in West Cornforth, where nine ferrets were kept in dirty, barren cages without water or enrichment. Birds had filthy drinking water and damaged feathers, while reptiles lacked lighting.
A young rabbit, Midnight, was so emaciated that her bones felt sharp beneath her skin. Two young dogs, Nova and Oreo, were also underweight and neglected.
When asked what animals needed from their owners, Nathan and Jade answered: โAttention, food, water, love.โ
Yet nine animals were dead, and others had been left suffering.
At Durham Crown Court on 31 July, Nathan was handed a 20-month suspended prison sentence, 180 hours of unpaid work and 30 rehabilitation activity days.
Jade received a 12-month suspended prison sentence and 40 rehabilitation activity days.
Both were banned from keeping animals for life.
Neither went straight to prison.
Thankfully, surviving dogs Nova and Oreo and rabbit Midnight recovered and found new homes. The birds were transferred to wildlife facilities, while exotic animals were placed in specialist care.
Nine animals paid with their lives. Their owners received suspended sentences.

I don't know whether that poor Chapman bloke had some disability, psychiatric illness, personality disorder, or whether he was on drink or drugs, but what I would like to know is why was he allowed to own a crossbow?

What has happened to us? Yesterday, a man got into a tiger enclosure, for whatever reason, and someone's instinctive reaction was to film it and put it on social media. And it hasn't been taken down. This didn't used to be normal.

If I was one for generalising, rather than taking people as individuals I'd be tempted to think that we deserve everything that's coming to us.

There's 2.5 jobseekers for every job vacancy in the UK, and most of those jobs are in the South, where out of work people are not. This is why they say that we can't afford pensioners. There's not too many pensioners, there's too few jobs, therefore too few taxpayers.

Chins up, fellow wrinklies. It seems that the people resenting us getting a decent pension are nothing but a loud minority. Most younguns are a decent bunch.
This cheered me up. There's been a constant stream of generational war-mongering propaganda trying to convince the young that their grandparents are sponging off them. People aren't buying it.

This๐ So very much this, that I'm hopping up and down in a manner quite unbecoming of an old woman jabbing my finger at it. ๐
This is a post for any progressive left-wingers out there who havenโt completely entrenched themselves in a belief system they canโt reverse out of.
I used to be part of your tribe, and I still believe many of the things you do.
I want a fairer more peaceful world. Racism is wrong. I want us to protect the planet. I think itโs obscene that some people are unimaginably rich while others are dirt poor. And I recognise that the more unequal societies become, the more dangerous and divided they become.
You see, I agree with all that stuff. Itโs not hard to admit it.
But these days Greta Thunberg wears a keffiyeh and even a balaclava sometimes. Dale Vince wears a keffiyeh. Zack Polanski of the Green Party seems more concerned about helping men who believe they are women gain access to womenโs spaces than he does about ecological crises.
Identity politics is divisive. Gender ideology is poisonous and harms children and womenโs rights.
And hereโs the thing: you donโt have to buy into any of that crap to still want a better world.
If there are reasonable progressives reading this and thinking, โItโs true. I hate some of the stuff my tribe is doing,โ then you can leave it behind. You donโt have to become a raving right-winger. Itโs not a zero sum game. You can just return to the centre ground.
You donโt have to agree with me either. I do have some reactionary views. But Iโve not lost the plot. I am always willing to hear the views of others and reconsider my opinions.
But the time is long overdue to call out beliefs that are simply nuts, sideline them, and get back to what progress was supposed to be about: creating a freer, fairer society for the vast majority of ordinary people. Education, good jobs, a country built on shared values, rights and responsibilities.
Not using identity as a weapon. Not demanding that one group surrender its rights for another. And not dragging vulnerable kids into a vortex of gender confusion that will have consequences for the rest of their lives.
So come on, reasonable people. Ask yourself some questions. Question your own side as fiercely as you question the other.
Letโs stop playing the algorithmic game, stop retreating into our tribes, and get back to some form of sanity.

๐จ SHOOK A TINY DOG TO DEATH & WAS HANDED A COMMUNITY SENTENCE
๐จ CLYNTON NICOLAS HAGEN, 32
๐ EAST CALDER, WEST LOTHIAN ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ณ๓ ฃ๓ ด๓ ฟ
Ollie was a tiny chihuahua - deeply loved by his owner Kara Davies, a cancer survivor. Ollie was her strength, her comfort, her safe place. He gave her unconditional love and helped her rebuild her life.
On 15 June 2024, Kara left for work.
An hour later, her thenโpartner Clynton Nicolas Hagen called and told her to come home because โsomething had happened to Ollie.โ
When she arrived, Hagen placed Ollie in her arms. He was unresponsive and not breathing.
Kara and her father rushed him to the vet - but it was too late.
A postโmortem revealed Ollie had been violently shaken to death, suffering a fatal brain haemorrhage.
The Scottish SPCA confirmed Hagenโs actions caused immense suffering and a traumatic death.
โ๏ธ THE SENTENCE (Livingston Sheriff Court, 13 August 2026)
Hagen pleaded guilty to causing unnecessary suffering resulting in Ollieโs death.
He received:
โ Fiveโyear ban on owning or keeping animals
โ 250 hours unpaid work
โ No prison term
He walked free after killing a dog with his bare hands.
Letโs be clear: Clynton Hagen is not a man - heโs a coward and a brute.
He shook a tiny dog so violently that Ollieโs brain haemorrhaged.
He didnโt slip up. He didnโt โlose control.โ
He killed a defenceless animal - and the justice system let him walk free.
Scotlandโs maximum sentence for animal cruelty is five years in prison. Yet Hagen got community service.
This is a disgrace.
It makes a mockery of the law and of every promise made to protect animals from suffering.
๐พ JUSTICE FOR OLLIE
Ollieโs death must never be forgotten.
Share his story.
Speak out for stronger sentences.
Demand lifetime bans for animal killers.
Because Ollie mattered.
And Clynton Hagen should never be allowed near another animal again.
