As shocking as the wrongful conviction in the case of the sub-postmistress is that this country puts in prison eight months pregnant women convicted of a non-violent crime.

I should have guessed that the reason Pompeii is all over BBC news programmes today is because there's an upcoming BBC documentary on it.
A plug a day keeps the real news away.

The idea that you may not be able to take (some) decisions about your own healthcare because you're under 25, while potentially being a qualified professional competent to make the same decisions about someone else, is inherently absurd.

In a few minutes of Tom Swarbrick I heard him say 'Nobody dies of old age. The only person in history to have 'old age' on their death certificate was the Queen'.
The cause of death on my 102 year old father's death certificate was given as 'old age'.
What a 🀑

Ha. One transphobe has blocked me, the other is still spouting nonsense. Discussing these issues with such people is as futile as trying to explain quantum physics to a dog.

I think it was Quentin Crisp who said that in England it takes a long time to make friends with people but once you have you can never get rid of them.

Solidarity to all of the Trans people in the UK facing immense hostility.

Remember, most normal people do not harbor the cruelty displayed on this hell-site. I know it is scant consolation. But still worth keeping in mind.

This is 'holistic' gibberish from Victoria Atkins. I have several different conditions and they're all being treated by the . Not all by the same doctors/departments obviously because there are specialisms in medicine.

Robinson says the Today podcast allows for longer, more reflective interviews with politicians. But that could be done on itself if they removed all the pop and film features and other One Show style dross - along with daily plugs for the podcast. BBC Radio 4 Today

The idea that someone cannot make autonomous decisions about their own life below the age of 25 is a direct threat to the autonomy of all young people. What separates gender from access to abortion or the right to vote?

This is a very dangerous and harmful proposal.

Roy Cropper and I appear to be wearing exactly the same check shirt tonight which is very slightly worrying. At least my cardigan is a different colour.

seemingly not going to interview a trans person about the Cass report, an exclusionary approach that is all too common.

I could stomach only a small part of Tom Swarbrick on his transgender hobbyhorse this afternoon but it's extraordinary how people like him have the overweening arrogance to argue with a trans person about what it means to be trans and to question their own lived experience.

Avoided Shelagh Fogarty because what's being said today about trans children is almost triggering to use a modern term. It's so close to the ignorant, bigoted nonsense once said about gay people and which cast such a dark shadow over my teenage years long ago.

Just switched to and caught a bit of Rishi - Laughing Boy - Sunak saying his mother ran a pharmacy and he used to work in her shop as a boy. I wonder if by any chance his Dad was a GP?
