‼️🇵🇸🇬🇧PLEASE SHARE! This is not my video but I was there on Saturday - I saw how the police were acting towards peaceful protesters. It’s completely unacceptable! Every week we walk and chant and the protests are always peaceful but then the police act as if we are criminals. They’re the ones who aren’t peaceful.

Share this ! This is Manchester, St Peter’s square Saturday 10th Feb

The more people that now about this the better. The police worldwide need taking down.

Defunding? They need abolishing.

At least in the UK they don't have guns usually, or f--- knows how bad it would be.

Another day another perverted man trying to hide from being identified as an abuser by hiding behind a pronoun

By Genevieve Gluck. December 9, 2023

A trans-identified male and his partner have been sentenced to a combined total of 16 years and 9 months in prison for their roles in the horrific sexual abuse of a 4 year-old boy. Naomi O’Brien, born Nathan, reportedly encouraged his lover, Jonathan Walker, to sexually abuse the toddler.

content warning - sexual abuse of young children

Walker and O’Brien were arrested earlier this year after a complex, joint investigation undertaken by the Greater Manchester Police and the South Wales Police. The UK authorities had first become aware of the situation after being tipped off by the FBI, who had discovered that Walker was sharing disturbing images of child rape through messaging application Kik.

With O’Brien’s explicit direction, Walker sexually assaulted the young boy and filmed himself performing sex acts in front of the boy. He recorded the sickening abuse and shared the videos with pedophiles online. In addition to raping the toddler, Walker had also been downloading horrific videos of children and babies being abused and raped.

Investigators analyzed chat logs containing messages exchanged between Walker and O’Brien that indicated their sexual interest in children. O’Brien was discovered to have encouraged and aided Walker in sexually abusing the young victim on several occasions in March 2023.

Walker, 33, was found guilty of sexually abusing the 4-year-old boy, along with engaging in sexual activity in the presence of a child and possession of indecent images. He was sentenced to 12-and-a-half years in prison, while O’Brien, 31, pleaded guilty to multiple counts including intentionally encouraging and assisting another to commit a sexual assault against a child, intentionally encouraging and assisting another to engage in sexual activity in the presence of a child, and engaging in sexual activity in the presence of a child.

For his crimes, O’Brien was sentenced at Manchester’s Minshull Street Crown Court to 4 years and 3 months in prison, with a 4 years and 4 months Sexual Harm Prevention Order and Sex Offender Notification Requirements for life.

Disturbingly, O’Brien was referred to as a “woman” and “female” by police.

“Following a tenacious and lengthy investigation of 1,865 messages, our dedicated team was able to prove that the female suspects’ chats were not simply a case of role play or fantasy – she had knowledge that the male had an interest in sexually abusing a young boy on the direction of her,” said Detective Inspector Zoe Marsden, of the Greater Manchester Police’s Online Child Abuse Investigation Team, while referring to O’Brien as a “female” and using feminine pronouns for him.

“This is a significant result for what is a very vulnerable and innocent 4-year-old child who was subjected to multiple counts of abuse, but also for all other children in the community who could have been subject to similar offending by a predatory female who was inciting others to commit acts of sexual harm against the most vulnerable in society,” Marsden added.

O’Brien frequently posted highly sexualized images of himself on his public social media profiles, where he uses the name Morgan Naomi Clarke, and appeared to work in the sex trade.

Following the announcement of his sentencing, multiple news outlets reporting on the case took lead from the police and referred to O’Brien as a “woman” or as “female.” The BBC labeled O’Brien a “predatory woman,” as has The Oldham Times. The UK Sex Offenders Database has also listed O’Brien as a woman, having used the information that was provided by the Greater Manchester Police to the public.

On Facebook and Instagram, O’Brien had regularly shared photos of himself in women’s lingerie. In some instances, O’Brien can be seen pretending to be a young girl as part of a pornographic schoolgirl aesthetic. One such photo from March 2020 depicts O’Brien in a girl’s school uniform, tagged with the term “ddlgprincess,” a reference to the incestuous fetish subculture known as “Daddy Dom-Little Girl.”

The convicted sex offender also ran an OnlyFans account and sold sex through the website AdultWork under the moniker TS Taboo Goddess. O’Brien shared pornographic content of himself on OnlyFans while using hashtags related to the “age play community,” used to connote adults who have a sexual interest in pretending to be children.

“I am a pro-domme, have been since young and ‘innocent,'” reads O’Brien’s Adult Work bio. “No limits, Daddy. The more debauched, the better.”

On his X account, O’Brien shared a brief video of himself watching pornography that appears to depict minors with another man. The pornography is digitally rendered, and the ages of the characters depicted are unclear. Yet O’Brien tagged the clip with terms such as “teen,” “barely legal” and “no limits.”

In 2015 O’Brien was positively profiled by The Sun for his attempts to win a national beauty pageant, Miss Transgender UK. During the interview, O’Brien stated that he began identifying as transgender at the age of 21.

“It wasn’t until my late teens that I had the opportunity to dress as a girl as often as possible. When I did this I felt more confident and happy, I felt like the person I always wanted to be. It wasn’t until I was 21 that I realized I could live fulfilled this way and gained the bravery to change my body and my life,” O’Brien told the outlet.

O’Brien was similarly spotlighted by Caters TV for his bid to win the beauty pageant in a video produced by the program. In the clip, O’Brien cautioned viewers against discrimination.

Special thank you to Dalton Report for his contribution in bringing this case to light.

A Tragic Ambush: The Murders of Nicola Hughes and Fiona Bone and the Subsequent Trial of Dale Cregan

On the morning of September 18, 2012, Greater Manchester was shaken to its core by a heinous act that would forever mar the annals of British policing history. Nicola Hughes, aged 23, and Fiona Bone, aged 32, two dedicated officers of the Greater Manchester Police (GMP), were brutally murdered in what appeared to be a meticulously planned ambush by a man later identified as Dale Cregan.

Mason Greenwood

A statement issued by Manchester United football club has declared that the investigative element of the Mason Greenwood internal enquiry is complete and a decision on his future with the club would be made very soon.

This near-pointless press release was almost immediately followed by an article from The Athletic which revealed CEO Richard Arnold has reportedly already told senior staff that Greenwood will be returning to United.

If Greenwood was getting moved on, this statement would have said that, so The Athletic's article does tally. There was also this shit phrasing midway through the document:

Manchester United has a responsibility to expect high standards of behaviour from players. While Greenwood was not tried in a court of law, he was charged by Greater Manchester Police for offences - acts for which there is related video and audio evidence.

Is it criminality if someone isn't found guilty? Perhaps not, but GMP and the CPS wouldn't casually 'nick' someone for attempted rape, engaging in controlling and coercive behaviour, and assault occasioning actual bodily harm if they weren't pretty sure they had a solid case.

Scott Patterson - Republic of Mancunia - raised some of the shit opinions we've all seen floating around on social media sites.

Why the fuck should I have to support another club? I've been to matches. I watch games. I support the the mens, womens and youth sides. I watch associated content. I've bought shirts and other merch. I subscribe to MUTV...

We have all made mistakes, but some are worse than others, and the charges levelled at MG are definitely amongst the worst. MG was not tried or convicted however, so he should be allowed to get on with life, but the club shouldn't grant him the privilege of being a United player.

Yeah, the police couldn't assess video and audio footage to check it's not fake 🧐

4. She might have forgiven him, but in October 2022 Mason Greenwood was re-arrested by Greater Manchester Police for breaching his bail. The terms? Not to make contact or attempt to contact the victim. Abusers often attempt to make contact, to repent or coerce. The CPS was rightly concerned by this possibility.

To clarify, I'm not saying that did happen, because i'm not an idiot who wants a libel suit against me, but it's public knowledge that he was arrested and the terms of his bail agreement.

5. There is, and hopefully the father has matured and apologised and won't commit any of the alleged offences ever again.

6. He's a footballer who was tipped to be a generational talent. If United bin him off, other teams will 100% sign him. Also, why does he have a right to play football for a living? Is the ordinary world of work below him? Could he not be a tradesman, or work in retail, perform an office job?

There's also a bonus one: 7. Who are you to judge him? I'm a man who has never abused or assaulted a partner in my life. I've made mistakes, as have we all. Too many people are out there accusing others of being 'holier than thou' but honestly, how low is the fucking bar if attempted rape, coercion, and ABH are seen as mistakes and not major red flags?!

So, what next. Hopefully the outrage on socials - as well as criticism from journalists - will outweigh the support for Greenwood and spur some pundits and ex pros into speaking out, which will then pressure the club. Not holding out for the ex players though.

Richard Arnold - at the very very least - needs to do a press conference to answer questions about Greenwood's return. I hope he doesn't take the coward's route of just doing it and bringing the lad back. We need answers.

Beyond that, I simply want Greenwood gone (as if this post had suggested anything other than that). He can have a career, just not at United. This is a new era for us. We're representing on two fronts these days: men and women. We must be a club for all, and harbouring abusers does not make us a safe and fair club for all fans to support or players to play for.

Does this mean I didn't like CR7? Damn straight. Ryan Giggs? Correct. George Best? 3 for 3 here. Talent doesn't excuse you of bad actions, nor does money.

So fucking angry tonight. This is a colossal shitshow. I might have to stop supporting my boyhood club because we're willing to be morally bankrupt just to win a few more football matches. Fuck right off.

More important than my hurt feelings are the women who feel abandoned by the club they love. If you agree with my sentiments then please go and support the 'Female Fans against Greenwood's return' group on Twitter/X. They're taking a lot of heat and flak on social for taking a stand, but it's important that the club takes the opposition to Greenwood's return seriously, and the more support we can lend to these women the better.

#OTD in 1867 – The Escape that Sparked the Manchester Martyrs | Thomas Kelly and Timothy Deasy are rescued in a Fenian attack on a police van in Manchester during which a police sergeant is shot dead.

The Manchester Martyrs – William Philip Allen, Michael Larkin, and Michael O’Brien – were members of the Irish Republican Brotherhood, an organisation dedicated to ending British rule in Ireland. They were executed for the murder of a police officer in Manchester, England, in 1867, during an incident that became known as the Manchester Outrages. The trio were members of a group of 30–40 Fenians…

“Reporter Jack Hadfield says his intention was to question Labelle on his history, but, seeing that there were children present, delayed his line of questioning until the end of the event.” Ok it’s not often this blog praises men but Jack Hadfield was doing his job as a reporter and he was mindful of the children present. So of course a man in a dress, and maybe even a diaper, attacked him.

A British journalist has reported he was assaulted by Canadian trans activist and artist Sophie Labelle after attempting to confront him on his history of using children as reference models for fetish art.

On Sunday, February 26, transgender artist Sophie Labelle held an event at the Cockatoo Club, a cocktails and cabaret venue catering to Manchester’s gay community. Labelle was set to speak about trans activism as well as his comic book franchise, Assigned Male. 

Labelle’s visit was announced by the club through their Twitter, with the comment section rapidly being closed as dozens of concerned netizens replied to the post and tried to alert the venue to Labelle’s disturbing history with “diaper kink.”

Labelle first came under widespread controversy in February of 2021 after it was discovered that he had quietly been producing and distributing diaper fetish art on secret social media accounts, as well as on furry fetish site “FurAffinity.”

WafflesArt, Labelle’s now-deleted alternate online persona, was dedicated to the “adult baby/diaper lifestyle” and “diaper fur” fetish which published Labelle’s drawings of anthropomorphic baby animal characters modeling in diapers, onesies, and behaving like toddlers.

Labelle was also found to have been following many pornographic models who role-played as babies for sexual arousal. One such account followed by Labelle was of a model who called himself “Little Boy” and posted sexually suggestive photos and videos of himself in diapers and surrounded by children’s toys. The model would mimic masturbation while wearing a diaper, utilizing baby oil and lotion to lubricate himself.

But possibly the most disturbing revelation was the discovery that Labelle had been using photos of real babies as reference models for his fetish art. 

After backlash grew on social media, Labelle admitted to the art but asserted that he “refused to be shamed” for it, and also proclaimed himself a member of the “little” community — a person who role-plays as a child during sexual encounters. Labelle connected his fetish to his transgender identity.

Despite his history, Labelle has been regularly invited to speak amongst children, including at Canadian elementary schools. He’s also been visiting different venues internationally as part of his comic book tour, with the United Kingdom having been his latest destination. 

Attending the February 26 event in Manchester on behalf of independent media outlet Valiant News, reporter Jack Hadfield says his intention was to question Labelle on his history, but, seeing that there were children present, delayed his line of questioning until the end of the event.

Hadfield reported that Labelle made a number of inappropriate jokes during the event, despite the presence of children. 

At one point, the artist laughed about “invading” single-sex spaces. “They usually say like it’s a full-time thing but for most of us it’s a hobby. After a hard day of grooming children… I like to relax by going to the mall and waiting in line for the women’s restroom.”

Labelle also called Member of Parliament Miriam Cates the MP for “penis-town,” after the politician had criticized the Sheffield City Council for organizing a child-friendly event with Labelle at the central library. Cates had expressed concern over Labelle’s child-adjacent fetishes.

Following the talk, Hadfield entered the line to speak with Labelle one-on-one. He obliged Labelle’s request to stand aside and let him finish his book sales first, and waited until he and Labelle were virtually the only ones left in the room. In his report for Valiant News, Hadfield reports that Labelle became increasingly hostile as he attempted to ask his questions, but ultimately admitted to using photos of real children to draw his kink art.

Sensing tension, Hadfield attempted to leave the venue but Labelle pursued him, snatching his arm and demanding to see his photo identification. Hadfield managed to break free and darted down the street, but reports that Labelle was soon “on top” of him, grabbing at him and attempting to take direct photos of his face.

Hadfield explained that Labelle, who is physically larger than he is, tried to steal his notebook and made an effort to wrangle it away from him. Hadfield shouted for help during the altercation, and a female bystander near a bus stop witnessing the incident threatened to call the police for help, recognizing that Labelle was attacking Hadfield.

Facing the possibility of police presence, Labelle released Hadfield’s notebook but continued to film him closely, yelling at Hadfield and accusing him of “harassment.” The female bystander once again came to Hadfield’s defense, at which point Labelle turned his attention towards her and called her “transphobic.”

The female witness provided Hadfield with a statement confirming what had happened, the audio of which was uploaded to Twitter.

“I was just waiting at the bus stop. This man, blatantly a man as well, because all of that strength was just physically attacking you, and trying to take your work off you, grabbing you, pushing you about, dragging you down the street, and I’m not standing for that,” the witness says. “Anyone that uses things like that as an excuse. We’ve all been through shit, we’ve all got mental health issues in this day and age. There’s no excuse to use that to inflict violence on people. I don’t care if I’m called transphobic. I’m not going to stand there, I don’t even know which gender they see themselves as. I saw you being attacked, and I was going to step in.”

Speaking to Reduxx, Hadfield praises the bystander who stepped in to both defend him and offer her testimony to confirm the events as she had seen them, noting that the woman had been entirely unaware of the circumstances surrounding the attack.

“I was extremely thankful to the witness who was brave enough to stand up for me during the incident. She didn’t know any of the background, but just saw one human being attacking another,” Hadfield says. “After I explained the whole story, she was disgusted by Labelle’s behavior.”

Hadfield tells Reduxx he is currently weighing filing a police report, but has some concerns that police will instead make him a target due to his politics.

“I am probably going to seek expert advice before I come down one way or the other, but obviously that combined with the fact that I have seen a lot of support adds to the equation on reporting it.”

Hadfield explained he had not been anticipating a physical altercation to break out when he chose to cover the event, and that he had been surprised at the sudden escalation of events. 

“I was extremely surprised that I was attacked for simply asking tough questions. I now worry for the safety of anyone else, be they journalist or otherwise, who dares challenge someone like Labelle publicly.”

Following the incident, Labelle posted to his Facebook that he had been “harassed” by someone on the “far-right” who was “pretending to be a journalist” at his event. He also suggested he was planning on reporting Hadfield for harassment to police, though it is unclear if he has done so.

Labelle will be completing his UK tour with two final stops on March 4, one at Anglia Ruskin University in Cambridge, and another at the Catherine Wheel Pub in Norwich. Following the end of the tour, Labelle will be going on to visit Australia for similar events, and has stated he is planning on returning to the UK in June.
