Am I ever wrong? Yes, just like everyone else.
Do I have doubts? Yes of course, I wouldn’t trust anyone who didn’t.

They 'are coming for our questionnaires' . . . this has got to be one of the most comical lunacy in the whole sinister piece. Absolutely deranged - do they not hear themselves . . . ?

Given, this is exactly how Starmer crow-barred his way into leadership I’m not surprised that Wesley is attempting the same - it is also just as painfully duplicitous.

According to the article, MAS is ‘considered less gender critical’ than her predecessor. . .
Really? She may not be quite as unhinged - though only just - but I’ve not seen anything from her that suggests she’s any less anti-trans. . .

‘Unless the minister acts erratically’ not something I’m completely comfortable relying upon.
That said, assuming no erratic acts, good riddance, so, so happy to see her go!

Surely the relevant guidance is the 2011 EHRC guidance, which promotes inclusion. The interim guidance was withdrawn and The Baroness' segregationist text is still (technically) unknown and certainly not law.

I assume of course she'll be donating to Robin Ince as she makes it clear that she'll donate to a cause where someone has lost their job because of their beliefs. . .

Oh dear, I did hold a slim - very slim - hope that despite all the noise that MAS would be more pragmatic, but nope it looks like she is just as much as an unthinking rabid anti-trans zealot as the rest of them. Count down another 4 years I guess. . .

Oh, I see, yes I fully agree with you, my concern was that they wouldn't even bother to contest it at all which would all the anti-trans lot free reign to make up anything about it.

Ok, noted, but why bother funding the LGB without the T groups in the first place - how would that helped in restraining the supreme court?

As far as I’m concerned it is discrimination to refer to a trans person in the way they have been if they don’t do the same for whomever the bigot question who is raising the stink. It isn’t equal treatment nor is it ‘not taking sides’. . .

Surely at the very least this shows that in a Green Party with support increasing and a Labour Party where support is collapsing, there is nothing lost in being trans positive and nothing to gain in being anti-trans.

Exactly, none of this is a revenge. The most she’ll get response-wise will be a shrug. . .

How is this ‘taking revenge’? They don’t want to be with her spitefulness, so she’s just doing Christmas without them. . ? I’m not sure they’re going to feel roundly defeated by this so-called ‘revenge’.
And ah yes ‘revenge’ that well known method of getting people to forgive all your prejudices.

Ah yes I see now I thought she lost the appeal, but I see with the deep pockets she has access to she can keep on coming back over and over again.

I wonder if Richard is paid in real terms on a like-for-like* basis any less than he was in 2008?
*Manifestly he had a different role with his own named show back then whereas now he is a rotational relief presenter for GMB so a literal comparison would be meaningless.

My understanding is the post/article was changed - in my recollection ‘virus’ was used originally. (Though the way it was phrased was done in a dog-whistle way so that if in doubt could refer the notion of trans-inclusion (I won’t use their phrase) becoming policy in institutions).
