The Daily Mailhas launched what they’re calling “woke watch” and asked followers on Twitter (er… sorry X) to report egregious wokeness to a specially created email address.
A reporter for the paper has asked followers to report “shocking examples of wokeism” in order for the paper to write about them on their online platform.
The examples include,
“Has your school gone pronoun mad” and “Worried you’ve lost your freedom of speech at your university?”
The Daily Mail and Mailonline have run a slew of anti-woke stories, which attract hundreds of comments and no doubt thousands of readers.
Just typing “Pronoun” into the Mailonline’s search, reveals there are 876 articles that include mentions of pronouns. The latest takes a swipe at Leeds University’s latest 12-page trans inclusion policy.
🚨 We’re on the hunt for shocking examples of wokeism as part of The Mail’s new ‘Woke Watch’.
Has your school gone pronouns mad?
Worried you’ve lost your freedom of speech at your university?
Time is up for Dan Wootton at the Daily Mail after the paper said it would investigate the former columnist.
MailOnline has suspended Dan Wootton while they conduct an investigation into recent allegations made against him. Wootton, who holds the position of executive editor and presenter of the GB News show ‘Dan Wootton Tonight,’ has been accused of paying for videos featuring sexual activity during his time as the former executive editor of The Sun and a showbiz journalist.
The allegations came to light after his ex-partner publicly disclosed them last month. As a result, his twice-weekly column for MailOnline, which he has held since 2021, has not been published since the allegations surfaced.
Not working for the MailOnline for the foreseeable future
DMG media, the parent company of MailOnline, stated that Wootton would not be working with them for the foreseeable future. A spokesperson for the company confirmed that they are taking the allegations seriously and are conducting an independent investigation into the matter.
The investigation is also being pursued by Wootton’s former employers at News UK, where he served as a celebrity journalist for over a decade.
Wootton has not directly addressed the allegations, but on his GB News show, he described them as part of a “smear campaign” on social media by “nefarious players with an axe to grind.” He acknowledged that, as a journalist, he is uncomfortable being the subject of the story but asserted that his show maintains no spin, bias, or censorship.
Wootton, known for breaking the story of Megxit while working for The Sun, has been a presenter at GB News and a columnist for MailOnline since leaving the tabloid.
There’s no doubt that you’re never too far away from a Pride event in the UK. To find out a bit more about each pride taking place this weekend, click on the link below.
The first Pride event in the UK, known as the UK’s first official Gay Pride Rally, took place in London on July 1, 1972.
When was the first pride in the UK?
The event, organized by the Gay Liberation Front, saw around 2,000 participants marching from Trafalgar Square to Hyde Park. It was a significant milestone in the LGBTQ+ rights movement and marked the beginning of an annual tradition of Pride celebrations in the UK.
Since then, Pride events have grown in size, visibility, and importance, spreading to various cities and regions across the country. At last count, there were over 170 prides in the UK. The UK boasts two of the largest prides events in the world in London and Brighton.
What can you expect from a Pride in the UK?
Attending a Pride event is a unique and vibrant experience that offers a wide range of activities and celebrations. While each Pride event may have its own distinct features, here are some common elements you can expect:
LGBTQ+ Parades or March: Pride events often kick off with a colourful parade or march, where participants walk, dance, and celebrate through the streets. The parade showcases a diverse range of LGBTQ+ individuals, community organizations, allies, and floats representing different causes.
What should I take to a Pride event?
1) Raincoat

Pack a raincoat. I know it’s not sexy – make it a Vivienne Westwood if you have to, but the British weather can not be relied upon to be good. Make sure it has a hood – hair straighteners won’t work in the middle of a field in a portaloo.
2) Battery Powerpack
Smartphones are amazing at capturing the moment whether it’s through pictures, face time or you being able to update your social about who’s doing who. The only problem is the battery never lasts long enough. So grab a power source.
3) Medication
Only the legal sort. Take painkillers. Nothing kills the moment than a stinking hideous headache caused by whatever this year’s headliner is supposed to be. Also take any meds you take on a daily basis. Take a 24 hour supply – just in case you don’t go back to yours.
4) Secret Tenner
Stuff it in your pants, or your socks or secret it away somewhere else. You’ll never know when it might come in handy.
5) Uber
If you find yourself in a place you don’t know summon an Uber cab. If your area doesn’t yet have Uber then make sure you know the local cab firm’s telephone number or download their app. Make sure you have enough battery on your phone to make that call.
6) Sun protection

Despite the fact that it’s overcast you can still get burnt to buggery so make sure you wear sunblock. If you’re looking for a sunblock that doesn’t go all white and sticky so you look like a sweaty pig – we suggest Image Skincare Prevention + daily matt moisturiser – expensive but well worth the extra.
7) Condoms and lube
You might get lucky so bring some protection and you might even get lucky with more than one person so bring lots. If you don’t use them – share them with your mates – make sure they’re protected too!
If you end up at someone else’s place you might want to bring a spare pair of undies – you know so the walk of shame isn’t so Ewwww.
9) Antibacterial lotion
The last thing you want to do is pick up a bug from one of the many thousands of people who will attend Pride, so pick up some anti-bacterial lotion. Many of the portaloos provided at pride will also have anti-bacterial handwash for free.
The UK is home to over 170 pride events, you can find them listed over at THEPRIDESHOP’s handy pride calendar and this weekend there are 14 pride events to choose from West Lothian to Belfast to Hull.

The UK’s government has apologised over what it called, “egregious” policies that banned gay and lesbian people from working in the armed forces.
The government issued a formal apology for the mistreatment of LGBT veterans, following the release of an independent review investigating the military’s ban on LGBT personnel before 2000.
The review, presented in Parliament, was initiated by the Ministry of Defence and the Office for Veterans Affairs and chaired by Lord Etherton. Its focus was to examine the experiences of individuals affected by the ban on homosexuality in the Armed Forces between 1967 and 2000.
Unacceptable and regrettable
Previously, the government acknowledged that the treatment of LGBT personnel and veterans before 2000 was completely unacceptable and regrettable. The report by Lord Etherton revealed that investigations into individuals’ sexuality were intrusive and invasive, resulting in severe and long-lasting impacts on the lives of veterans and their families.
The government’s unwavering commitment to supporting veterans and the LGBT community was highlighted in the review. The Prime Minister and Defence Secretary offered a formal apology in the House of Commons today to all those who suffered under the ban.
The review focused on three main areas: the impact of the historical policy on affected individuals and their future lives, the accessibility of veterans’ services for LGBT people, and the full recognition and acceptance of LGBT veterans as valued members of the armed forces.
Sunak expressed deep remorse
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak expressed deep remorse, acknowledging that the ban on LGBT individuals serving in the military until 2000 was a failure of the British state, lagging far behind the country’s laws. He recognized the immense suffering endured by many who faced sexual abuse, violence, and homophobic bullying while courageously serving their nation.
Defence Secretary Ben Wallace was pleased that the review shed light on a shameful chapter in the Armed Forces’ history, acknowledging the denial of tolerance and values to many who served.
Restoring medals, pension rights
Within the review, 49 recommendations were made, including the restoration of withheld medals, clarification of pension rights, and the presentation of the Veterans Badge, among others. The government accepted these recommendations in principle and committed to collaborating with LGBT veterans to ensure the appropriate implementation of restorative measures.
Minister for Veterans’ Affairs Johnny Mercer viewed the apology as a historic moment to address past wrongs and honor the extraordinary service of LGBT veterans. He also emphasized the need to enhance support services for veterans impacted by the issues raised in the review.
Minister for Defence, People, Veterans, and Service Families, Dr. Andrew Murrison, acknowledged the wrongdoing and pledged to study the review’s recommendations to determine the government’s response.
Since 2000, the government has made significant strides in removing barriers and implementing initiatives to improve the experience of LGBT personnel. These include providing guides for parents of LGBT children, delivering LGBT allies training, and offering Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP).
The establishment of the Office for Veterans’ Affairs has also expanded support for all veterans as they transition out of the Armed Forces.
The review is a crucial part of the Government’s Veterans Strategy Action Plan, demonstrating its commitment to compassionately address historical hurt and disadvantage experienced by sections of the veteran community.
Furthermore, the government has extended the Home Office’s disregard and pardons scheme to ensure the expungement of convictions for same-sex sexual offences.
To support those impacted by the ban and today’s announcement, the Office for Veterans’ Affairs is providing £250,000 to LGBT organizations for offering support services to affected veterans. This is in addition to the £45,000 funding provided last year to help gather evidence for the review.
Craig Jones MBE, Executive Chair, and Caroline Paige, Chief Executive of Fighting With Pride, expressed relief that the voices of those who suffered under this abhorrent policy are finally heard and their truth acknowledged. They view the government’s apology as a significant step toward providing substantial reparations and ending this unjust and dishonourable chapter in history.
Hollywood actor Kevin Spacey couldn’t hold back his tears as he was acquitted of all charges in his sexual assault trial in London. The jurors at Southwark Crown Court returned not guilty verdicts for nine sexual offence charges involving four men from incidents spanning between 2001 and 2013. The deliberations took more than 12 hours, and Mr. Spacey expressed gratitude to the jury for their thorough examination of the evidence.
Outside the court, the Oscar winner humbly spoke about his feelings after the verdict, acknowledging that there was a lot for him to process. He thanked the jury for their careful consideration of all the facts and evidence before reaching their decision. The actor also expressed his appreciation to the courthouse staff and security for their support during the trial.
During the emotional moment when the verdict was read, Mr. Spacey placed his hand on his chest and mouthed “thank you” twice to the jurors as they left the room. The trial involved seven counts of sexual assault, one count of causing a person to engage in sexual activity without consent, and one count of causing a person to engage in penetrative sexual activity without consent, all of which he was acquitted of.
During the trial, the jurors firmly rejected the prosecution’s claims against Mr. Spacey. The allegations included accusations that he had “aggressively” grabbed three men by the crotch and performed a sexual act on another man while he was asleep in his flat. However, the jury did not find sufficient evidence to support these claims.
The prosecutors had argued that Mr. Spacey’s actions left the four complainants feeling “small, diminished, and worthless.” But the jurors carefully considered the evidence presented and ultimately did not find the allegations convincing.
Throughout the trial, Mr. Spacey vehemently denied all charges, describing the accusations against him as “weak,” “madness,” and a “stab in the back.” His 64th birthday fell during the course of the proceedings. The actor maintained his innocence, and the jury’s verdict cleared him of all the sexual assault charges brought against him.
By law, all complainants are entitled to life-long anonymity.
The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) expressed its respect for the jury’s decision regarding the case. In a statement, a spokesperson emphasized that the role of the CPS is not to determine a person’s guilt in a criminal offence.
Instead, their responsibility is to conduct fair, independent, and objective assessments to determine whether charges should be brought forward.
The trial, which lasted nearly four weeks, featured the testimonies of multiple witnesses, including Mr. Spacey himself. Throughout the proceedings, the jury carefully considered the evidence presented before reaching their verdict. The outcome of the trial concluded with the actor being cleared of all charges, highlighting the importance of a thorough and impartial legal process.
At the age of 56, Sinéad O’Connor, the renowned Irish singer and activist, has passed away. In an official statement, her family expressed deep sorrow as they announced the loss of their beloved Sinéad. They have requested privacy during this challenging time as they, along with her friends, cope with the devastating news.
Sinéad O’Connor gained worldwide fame for her iconic single “Nothing Compares 2 U,” released in 1990, which topped the charts in numerous countries. Her extraordinary talent in music was unparalleled, earning her admiration and love from fans all over the globe. Taoiseach (Irish PM) Leo Varadkar paid tribute to her, acknowledging the universal appeal of her music and recognizing her unparalleled artistic abilities.
Throughout her career, Sinéad O’Connor was known for her candid and vocal stance on social and political issues. She released a total of 10 studio albums, leaving a significant impact on the music industry and society as a whole. Her legacy as a singer and activist will be remembered and cherished by many.
Sinéad O’Connor’s musical journey began with the release of her debut album, “The Lion and the Cobra,” in 1987. This album achieved notable success, entering the top 40 charts both in the UK and the US, setting the stage for her rising career.
Her subsequent album, “I Do Not Want What I Haven’t Got,” proved to be a pivotal moment in her career. Released as her second studio album, it featured the unforgettable track “Nothing Compares 2 U.” The song struck a chord with audiences worldwide and quickly climbed to the number one spot on the charts. The album’s massive success solidified Sinéad O’Connor’s status as an internationally acclaimed artist and marked a defining moment in her musical legacy.
Last year, the Dublin singer experienced a devastating loss when her 17-year-old son Shane passed away, just days after being reported missing. In the aftermath of his death, she took to social media to share the heart-wrenching news, revealing that he had chosen to put an end to his struggles on Earth. She urged others not to follow his path, emphasizing the importance of seeking help and support during difficult times.
In 2018, she underwent a personal transformation by converting to Islam and adopting the name Shuhada’, while continuing to perform under her birth name in her music career.
One of the most notable events in her career occurred in 1992 when she appeared as a guest performer on the US TV show “Saturday Night Live.” During her performance, she shocked the world by tearing up a picture of Pope John Paul II as an act of protest against the Catholic Church. Following an acapella rendition of Bob Marley’s “War,” she boldly addressed the camera, stating “fight the real enemy,” further highlighting her stance against the Church’s actions.
The incident led to severe consequences, with broadcaster NBC banning her for life and sparking protests against her in the United States. Despite the backlash, she remained unapologetic, declaring in a 2021 interview with the New York Times that she had no regrets about her actions and found the act to be brilliant in its expression of her beliefs.
Many years ago, Sinead actually identified as part of the LGBT+ community when she came out and then went back in again. She said in an interview with Entertainment Weekly that she was three-quarters heterosexual.

Studland Bay has a dedicated gay section which, whether you like it or not, has unsurprisingly become a popular cruising ground. Many voyeurists take to the dunes for a little slap and tickle of the bait and tackle before taking a cheeky skinny dip in the sea.

Brighton is Immersive and inclusive

Their experience turned out to be nothing short of fantastically liberating. The couple found themselves in the company of like-minded individuals who embraced their nakedness with ease. However, what sets this beach apart is the non-intrusive nature of nudism. While many may choose to bare it all, the beach creates an atmosphere where everyone is welcome, regardless of whether they decide to stay clothed or disrobed.
Such an inclusive environment allowed the couple to truly immerse themselves in the moment, free from any pressure or judgment. This way, they could truly enjoy the experience and let their day unfold naturally, just like the sea waves lapping at the shore.
Ultimately, Brighton’s naturist beach proved to be a place where visitors could find freedom, acceptance, and the power to choose how they want to experience it—truly a gem among the coastal beauty of Sussex!
