Currently dealing with M.E. but that should go away soon right..? o.0 Until then, I will plan my artist retreat, house-boast style life, with many strange pets, plants and comedy nights.

Here’s what he’s missing:
We have a president calling immigrants “garbage” and affordability a hoax, a DOD secretary cosplaying war games with no accountability, a VP saying it’s “reasonable” to not want neighbors who speak another language, and a Speaker who believes women are inferior.
The GOP.

NOT my Britain!
My family, as with so many others, started with someone fleeing poverty & working at the bottom of the social ladder so beloved of 'The Upper Class'.
Today generations later we have become cornerstones of the country in business, arts & sciences.
War claimed many of us.
Proud of us.

I am so angry. This can only get worse- 1000s of charities will follow suit- women and girl groups across the country will simply cease because they don't have the resources to fight in court. This does NOT protect women or girls, it is an attack on Women and Girls as well as the Trans Community.
First the Girl Guides and now another venerable British institution is bullied (and capitulates) into discrimination against their will by another fine British institution: the pure bigotry of a small cabal of the meddling rich and a craven media whipping up a moral panic

BOOM! The 100,000 signatures threshold was passed for this petition. Why this should be of interest for non-British citizens?
