Yeeaah screw that respectability nonsense.
We're already treated worse than actual convicted sex offenders.
If they cared about optics, they'd be going after all of MSM that hates us.

No amount of "hiding" is going to be successful 6 out of 6 times of f**king.
If I didn't know how transphobic every rung of this country was, I'd find it hard to believe.

Powell is on the same team 🤷🏼‍♀️ they both subscribe to a right wing Labour under Blue Labour.

Was it a Freudian Slip that you forgot to mention her portfolio also includes equality & human rights?

They smashed one window. They didn't blow up the conference.
Worse happened in my local high street last week.

There are 0 feminists there.
Transphobia is sexism and demands limits on what a woman can be.
This is anathema to feminism.

Nothing says "we're a lefty party!" like threatening to cut funding and shut down universities for not banning anti-genocide protests.
This is the "free speech watchdog" who fined Sussex university, Brighton, for not being transphobic enough and not stamping out trans people protesting harder.

Universities risk sanctions over Gaza protests, watchdog says

Arif Ahmed says freedom of speech does not mean the freedom to harass and discriminate Jewish students.

Yup.
If you don't need a job or benefits or healthcare, then it's not mandatory!
This is like saying "clothes aren't mandatory" on the basis that it's legal so long as no-one looks at you.

But seriously.
This means only doomsday preppers who lock themselves up in a vault, and the obscenely rich won't technically need it.
But the footnote of "except those who go extremely far out of their way to live without interacting with the country at large" shouldn't need to be said.

Dw. They also said it'll spread to private services too.

So sure. If you want to be pedantic, people who intend to lock themselves in a bunker and grow potatoes in their own turds won't need one. So it's not "everyone" on a technicality.
But "except people who hide from government" should go without saying.

Let's fact check this fact check.
Full Fact:
It's not mandatory because retirees won't require it.

Here's the government's response which explains it will be required to interact with public services and access benefits.
Including pension.
i.e. retirees 🤔

Petition: Do not introduce Digital ID cards

Weird how media acts as is 40 Israeli hostages is an ungodly number, but never mentions that Israel still has at least 12,000 hostages, with >75 tortured to death.
2 years ago (*before* Gaza had any), Israel had about 6,000. They ICE'd at least 20,000 more since. Including more than 1,600 children.

Yeeaah this whole time it's not just been Gaza releasing hostages, it's been a hostage exchange.
Every time.
They also have about 10,000 from the West Bank.

Wtf.
He said that while on a diplomatic mission to India??
Surprised he didn't sell us out to the Empire and have us obliterated from the Deathstar.
