The four-legged-animal-beater-in-chief is still banging on over at less visited social platform Bluesky – the failing X copycat for lefties who couldn’t stand Musk’s reign. Jolyon’s Bluesky bio urges followers to “fight the power,” rather than uhh, fight the foxes…
In response to news that the Scottish Parliament – in line with the recent Supreme Court judgement – will designate male or female facilities by biological sex, Maugham posted: “Everyone’s getting sued. A huge bonus for lawyers – and a massive deadweight on the economy.” It’s also good news for the Good Law Project…
Jolyon’s crowdfunder to flap at the Supreme Court’s Equalities Act ruling has already racked up a cool £400,000 – despite precisely zero prospect of the challenge having any success. And this despite their last nine crowdfunded cases having lost…
Jolyon has himself implied defeat is on the way: “we must also point out that the Supreme Court has revealed a readiness on the part of our courts to disapply, in the case of trans people, normal legal and procedural safeguards.” The kimono-d KC rounded off his incensed rant over on X by declaring that “every anti-abortionist is also a transphobe.” The money keeps pouring in for this time-wasting lawfare…
Speaking on Times Radio, former Home Secretary David Blunkett spoke about overdiagnosis of mental problems:
“Let’s distinguish those who are really severely mentally ill, diagnosed with things that require prolonged medical and diagnostic treatment. My wife and I talk about this a lot, because she’s a retired GP, about the fact that you can be sad without being ill. You can be momentarily depressed because your boyfriend or girlfriend’s just thrown you and you’re not mentally ill. You can even have mild issues, which can be dealt with with the right kind of support, but it doesn’t make you mentally ill. So we’ve got a real task, I think, to get the psychology, if you like, of this over. But there are things where you definitely need medical intervention, and there are other things where you need good friends, you need good connectivity, and you need a job.”
