❤️ My beautiful boy deserves to be remembered with love, not hate. ❤️
Yesterday, a Coventry fan used a photograph of Bradley to taunt Sunderland supporters.
As Bradley’s mam, this is heartbreaking, especially as it’s one of my favourite photographs of him. Just look at that smile.
I remember that day like it was yesterday. He was so happy, having so much fun. Those moments were precious because they were few and far between. So much of Bradley’s short life was spent battling cancer and enduring treatments no child should ever face.
To see such a beautiful memory used in such a cruel way really does make my heart hurt. 💔
We are a football-loving family who follow Sunderland home and away. I’m all for football banter, but surely mocking a child who died from cancer is not banter?
I hope the club takes appropriate action and the young lad’s family help him understand how hurtful his actions were. I don’t want hatred directed towards him, so please please don't, just for him to learn from this.
Behind that photograph is a little boy who was loved beyond measure and a family who miss him every day.
Thank you to everyone who has defended Bradley and shown us so much love. It means more than you know. ❤️
What some people don’t realise is that Bradley’s story didn’t end when his life did.
Because of Bradley, children’s lives are being saved, hundreds of families have received vital support, and children facing unimaginable battles are being given hope.
Through Super Brad’s Pad, families can escape hospital life, spend precious time together and make memories that last forever.
That is Bradley’s legacy. The difference my little boy continues to make in this world. No amount of cruelty will ever take that away.
So rather than let this photograph be remembered for hatred, I want it remembered for what it truly represents.
My beautiful little boy, enjoying one of the happiest days of his life, with the biggest smile on his face. 💙
That is how I want the world to remember him.
#CancerHasNoColours ❤️💙🤍💚🩷🖤🧡

In 2025, the UK paid for over 1,000 mentally ill women to have their breasts cut off, because someone convinced them it would make them men.
This is utterly dystopian - and yet it barely makes headlines.

This is outrageous
I’ve uncovered more than £1 million of your money going from the Ministry of Justice straight to pro-immigration charities.
Charities that campaign against border controls and help illegal immigrants stay in Britain.
This must stop. The Ministry of Justice exists to serve the British people, not to act as a cash machine for left-wing lawyers.

Here's an astonishing stat: Just over half of all visas granted to care workers in 2023 were sponsored by employers that have since lost their licences, mostly due to fraud or abuse. That’s ~200,000 people once you include dependants. None of them have had their visas revoked.

Cardinal Jean-Marc Aveline, Archbishop of Marseille and President of the French Bishops' Conference, has confirmed that churches were forcibly entered during the violent riots that swept through the French city on October 17.
He urged an end to the violence, declaring: “Our city and our country deserve better than this.”

🚨Breaking🚨
Last year, the NHS spent £6.5m on over 1,000 double mastectomies for women identifying as men.
British taxpayers are funding the mutilation of healthy body parts belonging to mentally-ill women.
These procedures must be eradicated.

This is an important story.
But perhaps the bigger story here is why it took so long for a mainstream publication - now two - to report on a male Oxford University lecturer wearing giant prosthetic breasts to work.
An editor said to me on Friday: “I can’t believe this story hasn’t been covered in the mainstream press.”
YES!!! I said.
Behind the scenes, I’d been pushing hard to get a national newspaper to take it.
In the end, I published two pieces on my [Un]Captured website - including three separate complaint letters I’d been sent - before the story gained national coverage.
I wasn’t paid for that work. There was no guarantee I ever would be.
The depressing thing is that journalists like me, @nickwallis and @jo_bartosch through @TERF_Times are increasingly having to build independent platforms to get these stories heard.
This is one of the world’s leading universities, FFS.
A lecturer wearing large prosthetic breasts at work. Women describing distress but feeling afraid to complain. Written complaints - and questions about how they were handled.
Clearly matters of public interest.
I’m glad the @Telegraph and @DailyMail have covered it. But I fear the BBC and Guardian will continue to ignore stories like this while giving plenty of space to promoting the ideas that make women afraid to speak up.
What a sorry state of affairs for journalism.
Thank you to everyone who has supported me through Buy Me a Coffee. It makes this reporting possible.

🚨 EXCLUSIVE: “At first, I thought it was a joke - fancy dress. But this is everyday attire. His prosthetic boobs are enormous, exaggerated and cartoonish.”
I spoke to Oxford lecturers and a former student about their experiences of Matt Rattley - the bearded lecturer who wears prosthetic breasts to work and posts pictures on LinkedIn.
They described their discomfort, concerns about sexual harassment and fear of making a formal complaint.
I also obtained three separate written complaints to St Hilda’s, including one from a parent and a joint letter from three former students.
One signatory, leading clinical psychologist Dr Lucy Johnstone, told The Mail on Sunday:
“As a psychologist who has worked with women clients for many years, I do know that in all forms of harassment and abuse, you see denial by the perpetrator, silencing of the victims, and often collusion by institutions.”
The piece also includes comment from @LoudBonnet - the barrister who has represented Sandie Peggie.

Empowering young women to put a sack on their head because a man told them to.

NHS BRIBED THE WRONG DOCTOR
Dr Kim Holt (@drkimholt) was the designated doctor for children in care at St Ann's Hospital in Haringey. In 2007, she and three colleagues sent a formal written warning to Great Ormond Street Hospital (@GreatOrmondSt) management. Staff shortages. Poor record-keeping. A disaster waiting to happen.
The response was not to fix the clinic. It was to remove Dr Holt from her post and place her on four years of special leave.
When she refused to go quietly, the hospital offered her £80,000 with a gagging order attached. She turned it down. After Baby P died, the offer went up to £120,000. She turned that down too.
Six months after her warnings were ignored, a locum with no experience of the clinic examined Baby Peter Connelly. The signs of abuse were there. They were missed. Two days later, the child was dead.
The NHS Trust that ran the clinic eventually apologised. In writing. Four years later.
Dr Holt went back to work. She framed the apology letter and hung it on her wall.
She then founded Patients First to support the next generation of @NHS whistleblowers, because she knew there would be one.
There always is.

Yes. UK police FOIs show many forces record self-ID gender over birth sex for suspects, including rape/murder cases (e.g. Scarlet Blake recorded female). Media often uses preferred names/pronouns without noting male biology. Similar patterns appear in some prison stats and US reporting, distorting sex-based crime data. Practices vary by jurisdiction.

There are more slaves in the world now than ever before in history. Most of them sex slaves. Most of them in Asian, Middle Eastern, and African countries.
Unless someone is addressing that situation, I’m really not interested in hearing about slavery.
Pauline McNeil #2144 retweeted
I believe Prince Albert already apologised for the slave trade, about 160 years ago, so I hope we can take it as read.
Maybe try & do something about modern slavery.
Pauline McNeil #2144 retweeted
Well said Kemi.
Something that’s often overlooked as well is the heavy price paid in lives of Royal Navy sailors who died fighting to end the slave trade not to mention white Europeans were also taken from their lands to be sold into slavery.
One final point I’d like to make though and the more pertinent one is the fact that today in 2026 it’s estimated that over 50 million people around the world live as slaves today no one seems to care about that though.

I don't think we can or should police whether a man dresses in stereotypically feminine ways or a woman dresses in stereotypically masculine ways. I am not in favor of having fashion police. I am a liberal pluralist and I believe that people should be free to look/love/live as they choose as long as they do not violate the rights of others. If a female professor chooses to come to class dressed in a masculine three-piece suit, that's her choice. If a male professor chooses to have long hair and wear make-up, that's his choice. But the situation with Matt Rattley is qualitatively different in that his presentation is inappropriate and unprofessional in the same way that a clown costume or blackface would be inappropriate or unprofessional.
