Most of us have pathologically useless parents who don't care to learn about protecting us properly, but this dogshit really takes the cake.

Well done everyone who had "reasonable concerns", you should see the exclusive set of countries the UK is now joining:"citing evidence that overseas firms were limiting travel to the UK for transgender employees over fears they would be unable to use facilities at airports and train stations safely"
NEW: Dozens of Labour MPs have written to Peter Kyle warning that upcoming regulations on how to implement rules on gender recognition could cause chaos, including significant potential costs and a “minefield” of competing legal rights.

As Zohran has pointed out, these NYC billionares have already spent waaaaaaay more on attack ads against him than he ever would have taxed them in four years.
They're trying to apply the classic conservative tactic of "I am willing to hurt myself to hurt someone I don't like more." but trying to make it appeal to the left by targeting rich people, and it just seems so fucking stupid because it's obvious that rich people dgaf about bus fare.

Multiple media outlets on at me to talk about the "CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS IS HAPPENING TO DISABLED PEOPLE" of the week, the kid who worked unpaid in Waitrose.

But just 3 weeks ago you were all lauding Reeve's plans to force under 21s into similar placements. So no thanks

Further to this - and once again I am doing the basic research that political journalists should have done six months ago - Lam said on the record in Parliament that this *does* apply to pensions/pensioners.

As well as all of these awful cases, it also seems to outlaw anybody who saves a lot of money and then lives off their savings for 6 months, since their *income* would drop below £38k. Does it similarly also deport SAHMs who live off their husbands income (even if that income is six figures)?
Almost nobody in the Cons Party or beyond it had noticed that the Shadow Home Secretary with two other frontbenchers and 5 backbenchers tabled a bill in May to deport 3 million people - stripping almost every pensioner, parent or nurse who did not take out citizenship of their right to live here

It is absolutely that infuriating. Higher Ed is slow moving institution. And it sat right up real quick for the tech companies. It wasn't the faculty. We can't make much happen unless it is on a geological timespan. I don't how long it took the admin to start shilling genAI, but it was FAST. Months?
Universities across the world seeing this:

"its only wrong 45% of the time!!
Lets buy free licenses for our students, staff and faculty!!
Lets lock into contracts with rapacious predatory AI companies with shitty technofascist politics, sucking up water and jacking up electricity prices!!"

Elon Musk couldn’t figure out how to make a pop tart without hurting himself
one thing thats kinda crazy to get your head around is not that the musk and thiel masters of the universe are ungrateful for the vast public infrastructure, public funding of research, and robust systems of laws and rules that made their wealth possible. it's that theyre too dumb to understand it

no Democrat who would vote for these to be their Congressional leaders deserves your vote
Anyway, Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer still cannot decide whether a team of corrupt sexual harassing bigots with low approval ratings and who are actively collaborating with the Trump regime are better for New York City than the duly elected Democratic nominee.

'The University of Derby has reported itself to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) after sending letters that revealed which staff members were at risk of redundancy.'

Adding insult to injury.

A blaring red warning signal for the rule of law; a President declaring “we’re just gonna kill people” without a trial or even a shred of due process.
Trump: "I don't think we're necessarily going to ask for a declaration of war, I think we're just gonna kill people that are bringing drugs into our country. We're going to kill them. They're going to be, like dead."

If you're upset about what Trump's doing to the east wing of the White House, wait till you find out what he's doing to the Constitution.

A lot of people outside the UK positing the name of Soldier F. They know his name because it is in Hansard. If you are in the UK, you best not utter it.

Who the state protects tells you everything about that state & they have protected him from the minute he started shooting innocent people

At least part of the reason Cat's getting away with it is that #CelebrityTraitors has a Big Dog problem. Obsessed with old "clever" mostly white men, overlooking Nick Mohammed's brain and Cat Burns' quiet betrayals.
Joe Wilkinson is SO close with his theory.

Yes, lying low until the last possible moment until it's no longer tenable to do is, indeed, exactly what a traitor would do.

The thing is, Joe, it's not the last possible moment yet... Cat's still doing it ^_^
