Mainly meltdown
Guido Fawkes on the pompous absurdity and absurd pomposity of Mr Maugham:
Jolyon Maugham has been having quite the weekend – mainly consisting of a meltdown over Wes Streeting’s decision to continue the ban on puberty blockers being given to children. He issued advice to every trans family: Evacuate the UK now…
The fox-beater has been barraging Wes Streeting with tens of “questions” including such killer takedowns as: Why are puberty blockers still allowed to be used in clinical trials but not outside of them? To be fair to Jolyon, he isn’t a medical expert…
Last night Jolyon threw off the blinders of privilege and declared himself in possession of the “skeleton key” to “a whole new moral universe” thanks to his trans work.
Someone should do a new comedy series: Yes Barrister.
Well, that key could well be for the ignition of the engines of a spaceship, in which he can fly off and visit as many unverses as he likes; moral, immoral, up, down and sideways.
He could also fly into a womens’ washroom or two (hundred) and hold court therein as if it was the Old Bailey. That would qualify him IMHO in his own right, as a Privy Counsel.
Hard to overlook the parallels to born-again types declaring themselves as “sinners” who have “found salvation.”
To where does he advise UK trans people to flee? It’s not the UK is the only, and not the first, country to put the brakes on youth gender medicine. I suppose Canada is still holding out, and parts of the U.S.
Reminds me of the “Brexit Couple” on TV news the day after Labour’s election win. They were leaving the UK for Australia. You know, the land down under that has 5 out 6 state governments and the federal government, all held by Labor.
Or the Canadian (?) couple who moved their family to Russia to flee the decadence of progressive culture, only to find themselves stuck in a country where they don’t speak the language, they were unprepared for the Russian winter, and the Government froze their funds in a Russian bank because it turns out Russia doesn’t especially want or trust fuckwits either.
Or the woman I knew who left Seattle for the midwest to raise her son in a wholesome environment…he turned into an antisemitic racist hanging around with the kids in his school. At least he didn’t join a gang, right?
