My remarks over a ‘dog in a frock’ plunged me into a Kafkaesque nightmare

Lesbian social worker Elizabeth Pitt was reported by council colleagues for ‘gender-critical views’ – kickstarting a 10-month legal battle

It started with a dachshund in a dress, and ended with a legal case that has cost taxpayers thousands. Elizabeth Pitt, 63, a social worker, has won her 10-month legal battle against Cambridgeshire County Council for harassment and direct discrimination, after she was investigated for being transphobic.

“The whole thing has been a Kafkaesque nightmare,” she says. “I didn’t want to complain about anything, I just wanted to get on with my job. These people accusing me of transphobia thought they needed sympathy and empathy but in fact it was my rights which were being impinged. This all comes down to basic common sense.”

WARMINGTON: Jagmeet Singh blaming Pierre Poilievre for protester comment spin of the week

Instead of owning up to his own overreaction to benign protesters at Parliament Hill, Jagmeet Singh is now trying to dump it on political opponents who had nothing to do with it.
That whole spectacle was created by Singh and Singh alone.

But now suddenly Pierre Poilievre is to blame for Jagmeet Singh’s bizarre square-off with protesters in Ottawa?

Cops ‘find explosives’ in car near Trump rally on Long Island after second assassination attempt

Police reportedly found ‘explosives’ in car near former President Donald Trump’s rally site on Long Island ahead of his speech Wednesday evening.

Hoax? Some clarity … sorta
