"The EHRC’s exclusionary interim guidance has had a devastating impact on trans people’s lives"

“Now the guidance has been withdrawn, so should the exclusionary policies that organisations rashly implemented in its aftermath. If not, they could find themselves in hot water.”

EHRC withdraws interim guidance encouraging trans exclusion

After six months of confusion and delay, the EHRC has taken down interim guidance rushed out in April. But the damage has already been done.

One of the earliest examples of bar jokes is
Sumerian (c. 4500-1900 BC), and it features a dog:
"A dog walked into a tavern and said, 'I can't see a thing. I'll open this one!" [1] The humor of it is probably related to the Sumer way of life and has been lost, but the words remain.

To put it in blunt terms, judges across multiple cases have essentially taken the line that their strongly held popular prejudices cannot possibly conflict with the law, which must instead be read in their light.

How is this repeatedly made into a policy issue - by *all* parties - when the blunt fact of the matter is that grown adults who are obliged to pay for their own education, and relentlessly pursued to repay their loans, should be able to study whatever the fuck they want.

So your contention is that the overwhelming white, elderly, liberal, pacifist protesters in London yesterday were doing jihadist chants in the Arabic language? You're going to need to provide video evidence for that claim because it is profoundly implausible

Is there any evidence that the old grannies and vicars on the Palestine Action deproscription demos have been doing the Khaybar chant? Because it seems pretty unlikely, frankly.

The consensus across the political-media class is fascism is the answer to facsism. What is being disputed is which briefcases will be the ones imposing it: Reform briefcases, Tory briefcases, or Labour briefcases

Seeing a lot of responses to this saying "great, they can arrest the people outside asylum hotels!" which feels like a canny gotcha but is ultimately just an endorsement of the basic premise of the policy.

BREAKING: The Home Office is giving police new powers to restrict repeat protests like pro-Palestine marches.

Police can consider the ‘cumulative impact’ of protests on an area and could ban the protest / force it to move elsewhere.

Home Secretary tells Sky News that “there is a gap in the law” when it comes to frequent, repeated protests on the same issue. Hence she will be giving police greater powers to move them to another location or time.
