I know it is just the law and all that , but it still jars to see ‘Graham Linehan cleared of harassment’ when I think of just how much he has harassed (and spread lies about) friends of mine and never been shy of bothering me either .

Not the ‘UK’ folks. The right to a jury trial was abolished here in the north of Ireland years ago. The imperial boomerang at work
The UK has gone from "We need to enshrine the right to jury trial in a British Bill of Rights" to "We need to abolish jury trial" in the space of about 3 years.

Jury trials could be scrapped except in most serious cases
Only cases of alleged murder, rape or manslaughter will be decided by a jury under new proposals to cut court backlogs.

Regarding all trans people being "activists": When a state is at war with its own population(s), any citizen can become an "enemy combatant" in the eyes of the government.

1. A landmark study was just published in The Journal of Pediatrics.
It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT.
It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse.

When the media and government move to demonise a minority it’s always noticeable how that minority gets denied the concept of including children or minors, as she was 17 at the time.

If phones = rest at work, good. The real lack of productivity (if that even exists - I don't believe it is real) comes from forcing people to work past 60 years of age. That's why the NHS needs more money too, to keep people who should be enjoying their retirement working when their body wants rest.
Not saying people stare at their phones like zombies, but there was a pretty life-changing product launch in 2007
