Help me out here? Aren’t these the same groups calling for freedom of speech and against cancel culture. It’s all so confusing.
Deny Accuse Reverse Victim and Offender
I’d not heard of this before. Most appropriate.
They aren’t pressure groups they are hate groups.
American here, please guys…don’t become a U.S. vassal state and try to get back into the EU if you can.
Our government won’t let us. 🥴
Because everyone is all about getting their information from a library… where is the closest library… how about we google that - oh looky here trans folk and porn is everywhere now!
Dear Evangelicals: Get. Fucked. Immediately.
This is one of many reasons that I want the US to stop being respected internationally. Their culture has some horrible issues that they don’t need to spread around. We’ve got plenty of home-grown awfulness, thanks all the same.
Unfortunately it requires our government to take a strong position. To actually stand up publicly and tell the people of the UK. We will not tollerarate this return to the fascist playback used before ww2.
Without that librarians and soon store keepers etc will constantly face the threats and attacks of extremists groups. Claiming the same anti DEI and equality shit happening in doge.
Much like anti abortion protesters try to intimidated those that disagree with them protesting clinics etc.
That is exactly what is being attempted here. Racism prejudice and fear for the future is being weaponised by the right. If our gov dose not stand up to the actions now. The attempts in the US to override the legal system etc will follow. Reform or a reunigghting of the people who support it will turn into a trump like administration.
We saw the start of this when Boris tried to shut down parliment illegally. The attacks on the echr are the UK equiv of the claim we saw leading up to trump 1. IE the supreme Court has become political. Gaining the power to take control. Our right is doing the same by trying to eject us from the courts mandate.

Just as they say they do not want Sharia law in the UK, we should not support the spread of other extremist religious laws
And let’s not forget that the Guardian has had no qualms to participate in transphobic witchhunting for years. No matter what hand-wringing they now do, they share a part of the responsibility for it coming this far and probably won’t stop pushing transphobia either…
The moral high grounding of liberal minded people is one of the reasons right wing populists are gaining ground globally. Rather than slamming the Guardian for not always aligning 100% with your views, why not see if the content of the actual article is worth your fury.
Bullshit. Liberals won’t fight for anything and thats why the Nazis are coming back.
Guardian-reading lefty here. You got any links to actual transphobic articles in the Guardian itself? I’ve been reading it for years, and have never noticed anything like that, particularly it being a stance. Would be very disappointed in them if so.
That link says that there have been 1100 articles in the Guardian, and also well-known right wing rags the Times, Mail and Telegraph, “most of” which are attacks. Bizarre to group those four papers together; one of them is very much not like the others. I would believe it of the other three, of course.
Here is some news coverage of what’s going on in the Guardian. Mind, some of the articles are a little older, but the overall situation hasn’t improved. The only thing that has changed is the normalization of the transphobic content the Guardian has put out over the years.
