We have made the decision to cancel this show, as we are an inclusive venue and this [show] does not align with our overall values."

Not that inclusive though.

Oh the irony. Or coppery. Or Silvery. (I know it's been done before but I like it)

Good old Dicky Dawkins. (TRIGGER WARNING*: this links to a GB News article, but just for once I agree with it.)
*IRONY WARNING: this is ironic.

I hate to sound like a Faragista, but this is getting bloody ridiculous. It's about time the no-platformers and cancel-warriors were stood up to. I hope Linehan sues the arse off them, and wins.

So this is something I came across on the platform formerly known as Twitter:

"The Church of England won't marry a homosexual couple, as it's "incompatible with scripture". But they WILL marry a homosexual couple if one of them "transitions" to the opposite sex and gets a GRC."

Never has my flabber been so gasted.

'To insult a trans woman without being discriminatory, female-specific slurs should be used instead, the tribunal suggested.'

So by this bizarre logic we shouldn't call a man, or indeed a trans man, a cunt.

Surely the whole point of insulting someone is to insult them as best you can, if that means "misgendering" somebody for that purpose all the better.

And that it's ok to call a woman a cunt, because somehow that isn't discriminatory, or it is but only in the way that the tribunal thinks is ok.

The trans activist movement really should avoid sports. Nothing reminds people that males are not females quite like watching one beat at the other in a physical activity.
