also just in general maybe dunking on people for being virgins is something most of us should have left behind in high school.

Like... why is it a good thing to have had sex? why is it a bad thing to not have had sex? and do these norms have any negative effects we should be concerned about? (yes)

2. This doesn't mean the IA process doesn't work! Quite the opposite. It has forced the government to be transparent about the fact that its anti-immigration agenda means higher taxes/worse public services *according to its own analysis*.

That's why they tried to avoid publishing this.

A couple of explanatory points.

1. This does not mean the policy is illegal! The Equality Act does not stop govt doing things that hurt people with protected characteristics. It just requires them to justify that by reference to other policy objectives -here reducing net migration.

The Spectator’s cocaine cannot possibly be so good as to outweigh how evil they are, even under an entirely debauched bacchanalia calculus, for so many London elites to attend that garden party. That’s simply impossible.

The Spectator has never been profitable, it cannot stop losing money. If a system is what it does, the Spectator cannot be understood to function as a profit-generating company; its function is to spread gutter fascist propaganda amongst its lay readership and politicians, money is no object
