Simon Green - New Revelations
New revelations came to light yesterday about LGBTQI+ author Simon Green thanks to a concerned member of Twitter.
As previously reported, Green was cancelled from appearing at a book signing at Saint John Fisher School in Purley after concerned parents wrote to the Archdiocese to point out that Green's books are largely comprised of blasphemy and gay porn.
Green threw a fit on Twitter and attempted to rally the gay outrage troops and this worked to a large extent.
The techniques are, by now, familiar. One tactic is compelled speech, which can force you to say something that you believe isn't true to force you to act or speak against your own conscience. Like the Christian doctor who was struck off for referring refusing to use a transgender woman's pronouns or the academics who have been hounded out of their institutions for stating something most people throughout all of human history have believed to be true: that there is a real difference between the sexes. This is something that isn't merely subjective belief, but a scientifically accurate fact.
The message this sends is that we should not trust our senses or our own reason: it is pure gaslighting and a risky business, particularly for children, because it asks you to acclimatise to repeatedly betraying what you think is right. It makes us vulnerable as individuals and as a society, a society full of people who don't trust themselves is necessarily servile to something. It's an infantilised society of people that need a crutch to lean on and a crutch can be provided by ideology.
We are seeing the reality of this increasingly as the numbers of people de-transitioning continues to sky-rocket, and they are angry at the obvious betrayal of those in professional positions who went along with their perceived need for transitioning rather than pointing out the truth of their impossibly irrational position.
Orwell dramatized the centrality of this at the end of 1984. When his interrogators are holding up four fingers, Winston Smith must not only say that he sees five fingers he must also believe it. History, reason, the basis of rights the integrity of your own perception these are all pretty fundamental things.
Today we see these basics continually attacked and the focus appears to always be on children.
Men like Green appear determined to expose young children to adult sexuality. The definition of this activity is grooming.
And it is becoming increasingly prevelant pushed by the LGBTQI+ lobby:
Now we discover that author Simon James Green has a history of antagonism with the Catholic Church. Was his sexually graphic rewrite of the Lord’s Prayer just misunderstood? Should Catholic schools have to promote his work? Must the Archdiocese of Southwark apologise?The Royal College of Nursing have just deleted this tweet after I called them out.

They are hosting a “drag event” for children as young as “0”.@theRCN - In what way is this relevant to your work? Why should children be exposed to potential sexualisation or sexist stereotypes? pic.twitter.com/RoAsId4Geq
We begin in 2010, as the UK prepared to host the visit of Pope Benedict XVI. Catholics will remember the hostility in some quarters to the visit. One example was a hateful memorandum written by some dim bulbs at the @FCO - it led to an official apology: https://t.co/DtvWwJQkMx 2/

Jim Murphy MP, Labour’s cabinet member tasked with preparing for the visit, described this piece of Establishment anti-Catholicism as "absolutely despicable. It's vile, it's insulting, it's an embarrassment". What did @simonjamesgreen make of it? Turns out he was a fan: 3/ pic.twitter.com/yJcQzUkG0o

That wasn’t @simonjamesgreen’s only thought regarding the visit of Pope Benedict XVI. He had others, some of which (“religious nuts… fairy tales”) suggested his hostility had a broader range of targets than just Pope Benedict XVI. 4/ pic.twitter.com/xmXeCTCuKw

Perhaps his supporters will say that this run of anti-papal sentiment (seasoned with good old-fashioned anti-Catholicism) was a matter of the passion of the moment. After all, surely he must value Catholic schools, given his distress at not being able to speak at one? 5/

Well, it turns out he doesn’t. It turns out that @NEULondon @NEUnion has teachers out striking for someone who doesn’t think their school – or indeed any faith school – should exist. Catholic schools, Muslim schools… Simon can’t even… 6/ pic.twitter.com/Poe1aMBLUR

Indeed, turns out that @simonjamesgreen is so robust in his convictions that he doesn’t even think the Catholic Church should be in the UK. Been some centuries since banning Catholicism was a popular policy! Perhaps he could counter that he wants to kick out Evangelicals too? 7/ pic.twitter.com/EbjELP6iGs

In recent weeks there’s been obfuscation and no small amount of rank dishonesty. @simonjamesgreen’s tweets help to clear some of that away – & since he likes having his writings circulated, one can only hope that he’ll approve of this thread. But back to the beginning… 8/

That version of the Lord’s Prayer he wrote. We were told the context justified it, it betokened no authorial hostility, no blasphemous or parodic intent. What does @simonjamesgreen think of Catholics who have such concerns? Well, unsurprisingly, there are tweet for that too: 9/ pic.twitter.com/PGy6bNVWjp

David Kurten, Heritage Party Leader, has now posted a video about this issue:A final reflection: that an invitation was issued in error can be excused. That, because the error would not be admitted, a school has been rocked by strikes as children try to prepare for important exams … that is less easy to forgive. God bless @RC_Southwark for standing firm.
