I'd question why someone would want to link to the KKK, LGB Alliance, Stormfront, or similar. 

Wasn't aware of LGB Alliance, just read up on them and can't really see why you have put them in the same category as the other two. Are their views really that extreme? Would have thought quite a few people would share them.

Yeah. They're literally a hate group designed to bully trans people. Their founders and prominent allies stand around supporting people who quote Mein Kampf positively:

Well that article doesn't mention LGB a or any of their founders so I'll have to take your word for it. As they are a legal organization and a registered charity I would expect they could be linked to for political discussion (not that I'm going to, this subject is a real can of worms!).

He's suggesting you should be able to link to contentious websites to discuss different views, (obviously not out and out nazi sites).

Well here's another:
https://www.thepinknews.com/2020/04/03/lgb-alliance-neo-nazi-homophobia-spinster-death-head-charity-commission/

that links them to neo-nazis, and their founders have said positive things about "Posie Parker" who was referenced as the organiser of the rally where Mein Kampf was directly quoted.

They post a lot of the sort of insidious, first-level hate speech stuff that's equivalent to "puppet of the Jewish bankers", while hanging out with the people who post the equivalents of the blood libel.

woah.

If mentioning his job is insulting then a lot of you here are triggered by the mention of what you do .

Would be better if you felt the shame before accepting the job.

It's always been the case in our media, at least in my lifetime. Farage on his own has had more appearances on Question Time than everyone involved with the Green Party altogether. Not to mention T*mmy R*b*ns*n and similar.

do you know what the various offers & declines for appearances are - unless you do there's more than media bias  there's also probably commentary bias.

Only in her early 40s as well. That's some pretty rough news.

I know she'll get great treatment and if they've caught it early, that helps with survival rates, but still.

That link does not show what you said it does. The reported views are gender critcal, a viewpoint protected in law and consistent with the uk equality acts. 

Mein Kampf is quoted in the context of someone accusing  trans activists of telling a big lie

jeremy spelling mistake has been shooting his gob off

Quote

 earning more than £100,000, and he said: "I am aware that it is not huge salary in our area if you have a mortgage to pay."

as someone brought up in the neighbouring constituency  i know hes right about how much many people in farnham, guilford, etc earn. full on commuter belt with  bankers, spooks and civil servants (as abuilding trade I  once  [about 1980] worked on a big  posh house [with servants quarters] just outside of farnham, where the owner was a doctor who had been the queens doctor). lots of houses round there with servants quarters.

[Neil]

also lots of rich rock stars round there, spelling mistake's constituency i know has eric clapton, phil collins & more living in it. (i know that cos i once went to a party at claptons). also most of status quo, i once worked at parfitt's house, and penelope keiths too.

The hardest part is the length of time it take to get referred by your GP. Once you get referred to a hospital, I've found the treatment is really fast and efficient, using both NHS and private treatment centres (when referred by the NHS)

i reckon the hardest part is getting an appointment with your gp. 😛

Saying that Mein Kampf is quoted so as to describe a target minority in the same way as Hitler described the Jews isn't a good thing?
