The Supreme Court may have ruled that trans 'women' are legally men, but someone really needs to tell Britain's libraries, which have been transformed into trans indoctrination hubs, says Lucy Marsh.

Do Democrats enjoy losing elections? It seems so as they double down on their obsession with migrant criminals. Witness the clown-world antics this week as a US Senator tries to bring 'home' a deported violent gangster.

Is the end of 'non-crime hate incidents' in sight? The Opposition is tabling an amendment to scrap them. This is something we all need to get behind ? so please use the FSU's template to tell your MP to vote for it.

Yvette Cooper will publish a "league table" of "offences committed by foreign criminals living in the UK while awaiting deportation". The problem is that some nationalities are more likely to be deported than others.

Fur Free Activist Faces Animal Abuser Naomi Campbell

Dublin

Fur Free Activists asked Naomi Campbell some choice questions about her questionable choices in Dublin on Wednesday. She didn’t comment.
She did look briefly at the poster of a mutilated fox with the words “Ban Irish Fur Farms”.
Fur Industry at work
Fur Industry at work

Ireland currently has at least 5 fur factory farms that cage over 170,000 animals for their entire lives in wire mesh. These animals are denied their rights, suffer greatly and are killed in gross fashion just for gross fashion. Worldwide this happens to billions of animals. Self mutilation, Cannibalism and Stereotypies are just some of the symptoms that these animals exhibit. Animals who are killed by trapping can await days to die. Animals are also rounded up off the streets to be killed for this industry.

Naomi didn’t appear to care. Naomi has made a career out of following one camera flashbulb to the next. She is famous for being part in an anti fur photo shoot in the mid nineties, before deciding to wear fur on the catwalks shortly after. She seems to confuse moral value with monetary value.

On Wednesday, she entered the Westbury Hotel off Grafton St wearing a white fur coat. When she came out again she had taken it off but the fur coat was part of her luggage.

With Naomi was Ali Hewson, wife of Paul David Hewson (Bono). Ali is known to be part of the noble work in Chernobyl, is a patron of the Chernobyl Children’s Project International and has protested against Sellafield. It can only be assumed that Ali has never invited Naomi to partake in any of these causes because to date Naomi is not listed as a Nuclear Power Plant owner.

Sample Letter:
Dear Mr. *******,

Please do all you can to ensure that the outlawing of fur farming is included in the proposed new Animal Welfare Bill. Alternatively please propose a separate legislation to outlaw fur farming in Ireland.
I believe that fur farming is one of the biggest animal welfare/rights issues in Ireland.

I fully support the stand that Fur Factory Farming should be outlawed immediately on the grounds of cruelty to animals and rights violations. Keeping an animal trapped in a small wire mesh cage for their entire life until they are killed by anal electrocution or gassing to death is not acceptable and should stop as soon as possible. Pretending our weak animal welfare laws are appropriate will not ensure this abuse ceases. Only outlawing fur factory farming will. Please give this matter your full attention. I will look forward to your reply.

Yours Sincerely,
_______________

By "it" I mean the line " It can only be assumed that Ali has never invited Naomi to partake in any of these causes because to date Naomi is not listed as a Nuclear Power Plant owner."

Wonderful wonderful rhetoric! Will be using that in my next Enlish class as an example! You witty sod you!
