GDP could fall by as much as 8% next year, exceeding the depth of the recession that followed the financial crisis in one of the worst-ever peacetime capitulations for the economy. However, the gloomy figures were criticised by respected economists Paul Krugman, a former winner of the Nobel prize in economics, and Andrew Sentance, a former member of the bank’s interest rate-setting committee, who said they were too severe.

According to the Bank’s analysis, house prices could fall by 30% and the unemployment rate could increase from its current level of 4.1% to about 7.5%, while interest rates could be forced to rise as inflation increased to 6.5%.

The report, which was peer reviewed and took three years to compile, sets out the scale of the problems as well as evidence-driven solutions. The food system also fails to properly nourish billions of people. More than 820 million people went hungry last year, according to the UN Food and Agriculture Organisation, while a third of all people did not get enough vitamins.

At the same time, 600 million people were classed as obese and 2 billion overweight, with serious consequences for their health. On top of this, more than 1 billion tonnes of food is wasted every year, a third of the total produced. “The global food system is broken,” said Tim Benton, professor of population ecology, at the University of Leeds, who is a member of one of the expert editorial groups which produced the report.

The Left has since taken sexuality to a whole new level with the expansion of that agenda to now include people who think, or who simply claim, they are the opposite gender – or that they have no gender at all, despite the long-established biological and genetic facts that there are just two sexes of humans, males and females. It’s bad enough that the Left has convinced a sizeable number of Americans that, science be damned, someone can ‘claim’ to be something – anything – they want to be. But this goofy, anti-science agenda actually made it into public policy during the Obama administration.

But now the Trump White House is set to return some rationality into how the government officially views the definition of a man and a woman as part of official policy. As reported by Breitbart News and others, the administration is reportedly set to establish a legal definition of gender under Title IX which would be premised on a person’s birth gender, according to a memo leaked to The New York Times. Make no mistake, figuring out a person’s gender is about as simple a concept as there is. If you can’t tell by a person’s physical attributes, a simple lab test will do the trick.

There are 1.4 million Americans who ‘identify’ as a different gender, but the Left-wing Obama regime purposely blew up the traditional means of identifying gender so that 310 million Americans would have to conform to them instead.

Now, the Left is anything but compliant. Already, liberals in blue states are set to pass legislation that will allow parents to designate their child with a ‘third’ gender option – “non-binary” – meaning no gender at all, which is an obvious and purposeful lie. And wouldn’t you just know it, California is going to lead the way.

The bottom line here is that no matter how out of their minds the Left gets over this issue, mammalian biology is not subject to one’s feelings or even debate: Newborns are either going to be boys or girls, period. The Trump administration is simply recognizing that reality.

Language is a powerful, yet under-recognized, tool in the game of politics and government. It’s simple: By controlling the words people use to talk about gender identity, propagandists ultimately gain control of the narrative — and further, are able to influence the way people think and feel about gender identity. George Orwell illustrated the power of language in ‘1984’, a dystopian fiction novel about an authoritarian regime that uses linguistic manipulation to further its agenda.

From 1984:

“The Ministry of Peace concerns itself with war, the Ministry of Truth with lies, the Ministry of Love with torture and the Ministry of Plenty with starvation. These contradictions are not accidental, nor do they result from ordinary hypocrisy: they are deliberate exercises in doublethink”

Orwell, famously, was a left-winger himself — and it is truly ironic that the modern Left is using the concept of doublethink as inspiration for their game of political chess. Orwell was keenly aware of the fact that language plays a substantial role in our thoughts and opinions.

According to Academic Rights Watch, a Swedish publication that publishes its articles in Swedish, toxic feminists are rabidly demanding that Germund Hesslow, who holds dual PhDs in philosophy and neurophysiology, be fired for expressing what they claim is “anti-feminism” and “transphobia” – again, all for merely pointing out that men are different than women.

To finally see a man fully embrace his manhood and stand up to cultural terrorism in the form of toxic feminism truly is a breath of fresh air, even if it’s only happening across the pond. Perhaps Hesslow’s bold reprisal against the evil Marxist agenda taking place at his institution of employment will spark other men to do the same.

“The systematic vilification and demonization of males is part of the feminist strategy of raising women by lowering men, by convincing people that women are good and men are bad,” writes Philip Carl Salzman for the Frontier Centre for Public Policy about the true agenda of feminism. “All males, whatever their individual qualities, are reduced to a common set of evil characteristics, while all females are celebrated as sensitive, smart, and strong.”

They also believe that men can get pregnant, not all women have vaginas, and that men’s restrooms should have tampon machines. These twisted delusions are all openly advocated by Leftists who obviously don’t realize how incredibly stupid they sound to normal people.

It wasn’t long ago that society would have simply called the psych ward on these people and had them committed for treatment. Now, they run Netflix and turn every TV show and movie into a transgender propaganda production while parading children around in whored-up wardrobes as transgenders, applauding the twisted sexualization of children to the delight of Leftists.

Just remember: According to the Left, all men are bad and all women must be believed, but there’s no such thing as a man or a woman, so even their own assertions are self-contradictory. (A sure sign of an intellectually lazy framework that doesn’t hold up to scrutiny.)

It was a sickening and utterly horrifying display at GMA that tried to glamorize the sexualization of young children – and particularly young boys who, like “Desmond is Amazing,” are now being taught by conscience-seared cretins like Andrew and Wendy Napoles to believe that they’re “females” trapped inside male bodies, and thus need to dress like stereotypical drag performers at bars and strip clubs.

While the GMA co-hosts, the three adult drag queens they brought on the show as a “surprise” for “Desmond is Amazing,” and the entire audience all cheered at this nauseating display of what can only be described as pro-pedophilia propaganda, the sane world looks on and asks: Why aren’t Andrew and Wendy Napoles in prison for abusing and exploiting a child under their care?

Nobody with any sort of decency and morality will find a young boy dressed in provocative drag “cute,” as is the message now being conveyed. It’s child abuse, period, and someone needs to take a stand against it so it doesn’t continue to spread like the cancer that it truly is.

The truth of the matter is that teaching children about transgenderism, or worse, encouraging them to become transgenders, is both child abuse and sexual assault against minors. And those who do such wickedness, including Andrew and Wendy Napoles, deserve to be investigated for these crimes against innocent children.

The meeting went ahead, but Mrs Montague became so angry at her treatment that she later wrote a letter of complaint to the school, moved her five-year-old son out – and is now threatening legal action claiming victimisation. She said last night: ‘Given the nature of my complaints it was obviously a deliberate act to wear the T-shirt. I believe it was intended to belittle my views and intimidate me into silence.’

Parents were invited to join their children for a celebration of ‘the rainbow things that make them and their families special’. Mrs Montague declined and asked that her son be excused as the event ‘promoted gay lifestyles’ that conflicted with her Christian beliefs.

She says her request was refused. Mrs Montague said: ‘I thought this was completely unreasonable. Schools are supposed to be tolerant of different faiths as well as different sexualities. Within our faith we teach that a man and a woman together is what makes a family, but in my eyes the school were promoting a different type of lifestyle to the pupils. Our children were being indoctrinated with values that they do not need to taught at such a young age.’

Andrea Williams, chief executive of the Christian Legal Centre, said: ‘A particular agenda is being forced on to children inside school gates and parents are being given no means to ensure that they are being taught in line with their religious and philosophical beliefs.’

She also found out that teachers had given her daughter – who wanted to identify as male – a boy’s name and referred to her using male pronouns at school without her parents’ knowledge. Lisa, who says her daughter is a lesbian and only claimed to be transgender after being bullied for being gay, also demanded teachers stop treating her as a boy and revert to using her girl’s name.

At a meeting at the school in January Lisa was told her attempt to find an alternative therapist was akin to ‘conversion therapy’ – a psychological practice of trying to change a person’s sexual orientation. Days later Lisa received a ‘terrifying’ email from Child and Adult Services stating that her daughter was deemed to be at risk. Further warnings said the teenager could be placed in a ‘child protection plan’. ‘I was reduced to tears because we were being treated like criminals when we were trying to protect our daughter,’ Lisa said.

‘My daughter felt rejected as a lesbian, so she turned to the internet for answers and was sucked in by these social media sites selling her a lie that there are young people born in the wrong body.’ However, after emails between Lisa and a social worker, during which the mother-of-one explained her concerns about the NHS therapy her daughter had received, the local authority closed the case. The school has also reverted to using the teenager’s real name.

The word 'womxn' in the Urban Dictionary is described as: 'A spelling of "women" that is a more progressive term that not only sheds light on the prejudice, discrimination, and institutional barriers womxn have faced, but to also show that womxn are not the extension of men (as hinted by the classic Bible story) but their own free and separate entities. More intersectional than "womyn" because it includes trans-women and women of color.' 

Mrs May will reportedly take personal responsibility for persuading voters to back her deal and will warn her party to put aside divisions and listen to the people, who she will claim are fed up with Brexit and want to “move on”. If MPs don’t support the deal, negotiated over 18 months and signed off on Sunday in Brussels, it will cause further “division and uncertainty”, Mrs May is set to tell Parliament.

After the meeting in Brussels this weekend, Mrs May appealed for support before the “significant” vote in parliament. “On it will depend whether we move forward together into a brighter future or open the door to yet more division and uncertainty,” she said. “The British people don’t want to spend any more time arguing about Brexit. They want a good deal done that fulfils the vote and allows us to come together again as a country.”

Critics have argued Mrs May’s deal could lock the UK to EU rules and institutions for decades to come, and over the weekend, French premier Emmanuel Macron claimed that the “Irish backstop” would be used to keep the UK in customs union if French ships are not allowed access to UK waters.
