Toronto Prof And Scots Tory Targetted By Language Vandals
One of my least favourite UK politicians is the current Leader of the Scottish Conservatives.
Not so much because she’s a lesbian – as we see in Germany’s AFD, a lesbian can be patriotic and talk sense – but because the Scottish woman is essentially a liberal, not a conservative at all.

Yet today I must speak up in her defence, after some drivel made its way onto The Independent’s pages this month, from a very weird individual, named Yas Necati, attacking Davidson because, for all her wayward views, she can still talk like a normal person. –
Ruth Davidson’s solution to the current mess that is our Government is that the party needs to “get over its current nervous breakdown” – and I quote word for word – “and man up a little bit.”
So what’s wrong with that, I hear readers echoing my response! A point of view about her party, not one we might agree with, but phrased in terms everyone can follow.
WRONG!
Nutjob Necati goes at once into hyper-shrill mode.
What’s the uptight wacko on about?
Oh, it’s ‘Man Up!’
…I guess Davidson’s solution to those struggling with child benefit, coming to terms with being sexually assaulted or at risk of being deported might just be to “man up” as well?
Good grief.
So a phrase the meaning of which is effective in communication, is perfectly clear, and which is in common use throughout the English-speaking world. must be abhorred because some abnormal would prefer us to say ‘Person Up!’ – as if by using the normal-talk phrase we are affronting women?
BTW, I don’t use ‘abnormal’ lightly to describe Nutjob Necati. A paragraph about her/his/its/their background is attached by The Independent, viz.
Yas Necati is an apprentice at The Independent and the London Evening Standard. They previously worked as a campaigner…
WHAT? ‘is?’ ‘they?’ ‘a?’
Something far wrong there – singular verbs and a plural subject? A suggestion of split personality? Schizo? Who knows?
But it gets even more demented, a deranged shrill shriek against Davidson for – wait for it…
…her reference to the Conservative Party having a “nervous breakdown.”
I don’t even really know where to start with this. Is she implying that mentally illness makes you incompetent? Is she saying that in order to get over mental health issues we all need to simply “man up”? Is she suggesting that someone having a nervous breakdown is unfit to continue with their job?
I don’t know if Davidson is implying or suggesting any of those things, but given what we know about nervous breakdowns…
—
…Nervous (or mental) breakdown is a term used to describe a period of intense mental distress. During this period, you’re unable to function in your everyday life….

….they probably DO impair competence!
So at least suspension from one’s work duties might well be a sensible step to take if a nervous breakdown is under way.
The way far-left sexual misfits are trying to force us into their own bizarre PC vocabulary is of course not unique to this ‘person.’ ( I’d say man or woman but that’s impossible, because I don’t – and possibly it doesn’t! – know!)
We have the scandalous situation at Toronto University, where a perfectly competent professor faces possible dismissal because he won’t be bullied by transgender freaks into using ‘gender-neutral’ pronouns.

Under a new law (Bill C-16) in Turdostan, cretinous Canadian college bosses may indeed be entitled to fire Professor Jordan Peterson, but to his great credit he’s not budging.
Jordan Peterson and the transgender wars
But back to Nutjob, whose final paragraphs expose the essential purpose behind its ranting against Ruth Davidson. .
…I suppose she feels she can say whatever she wants, because she’s a woman and she’s queer, and therefore in her eyes she’s not like those other party members.
OMG.
