It was a tongue-in-cheek comment.

Does anyone know what he means...?
I'm sure he doesn't

We used to think Priti Patel was bad.
If only we'd known how good it was back then 🤣

262,000 trans people were recorded in the 2021 UK census.
Trans & cis are scientific terms used & understood for centuries. Humans can also be trans & cis. Most people tend to live as their sex designated at birth but for some this is impossible, so they change.
It's not for us to be judgemental.

Good to hear someone in a position where they're likely to be listened to, tell it like it is. We can all see what's happened here in the UK & other countries. Some laws need repealing so people can once again peacefully protest against our government which is dragging its feet on this issue.

The term 'trans identifying men' is not recognised by anyone in the trans community, nor is it understood by the wider public. It was coined by gender critics (GCs) in an attempt to belittle & degrade the experience of people who transition from their birth sex.
Trans women are women, not men.

I don't want to change.
My computer works fine on Windows 10 and it won't take Windows 11, so they say.
I'm sticking with what I know, and what works well.

There's UKIP as well? I thought they'd morphed into Reform.
What do they stand for now we've left the EU?

Rory Stewart spelled out some of the problems very clearly on Radio 4 PM this evening. He has a lot of experience in this area, unlike Trump who has no idea & doesn't care anyway, so long as he gets the glory & the Nobel Peace Prize next year.

I regret that English became the default language in the USA.
If they spoke Spanish, or any other language, they'd have a lot less influence over us (although maybe more in Spain!)
At last old fartage couldn't go over there giving speeches as they wouldn't understand a word he said.

How solid is UK abortion legislation? Could it be as easily overturned as it was in the US?

This is such a good article. Everyone should read it.

jalumi.bsky.social @jallumi.bsky.social · 1d

Have they stated all these things too?
Definitely sounds like Farage is a US Republican mouthpiece, or perhaps a billionaire's puppet?

What is he on about?
"We're going to win a war like nobody has won a war before" 😂
Fyi Trump, wars have been fought, won & lost for millennia.
