Those bin collectors are asking for their pay NOT to be reduced and people on this plague island are saying that they should be grateful for a job and deserve minimum wage. The population of this country can be so miserable. Let the rats frolic.

cannot believe we used to be beacon of progressive LGBT rights in the early 21st Century: Introducing GRCs Civil Partnerhsips Equal Adoption Rights Equality Act itself Equal Marriage what deeply depressing and regressive nation we have become

Until now, sex in law has been assumed to be based on your birth certificate (which can be amended by a GRC). The Supreme Court ruling changing it to "biological sex", a much messier definition which isn't binary, without a definition introduces huge uncertainty to the law.

what about the definition of man

Solidarity with trans people, now and forever.

Fuck off J.K. Rowling you do not speak for gay people You are a STRAIGHT WOMAN and you don’t get to weaponise us against trans people, you rancid bigot Clean the mould off your walls and stop trying to talk for us JK ROWLING = homophobe

I am really saddened by the level of vitriol and hatred being directed toward the trans community. We are losing our common humanity. How hard is it to treat people with kindness and respect? Trans people are human beings — and they deserve to live in dignity.

Friendly reminder that Nelson Mandela, anti-apartheid activist, first President of South Africa and a political giant to millions around the world, was on a US terror watch list until 2008.

Imagine if everyone involved had this level of urgency and outrage about the genocide being perpetrated by these soldiers and the litany of war crimes. Not chants about them. What a pathetic world we live in.

My favourite thing about this country is that 'you can't take money from millionaires, they might leave' is considered a more valid and compelling argument than 'you can't take money from disabled people, they might die'.

That’s a bomb about every 8 minutes, every hour, for 24 straight hours. On a starving civilian population, trapped in a strip of land the size of Philadelphia. After nearly two years of relentless attacks. The scale of Israel’s violence and atrocities is staggering.

Why have the main trade unions in this country never called for a general strike over Gaza?

It is completely insane how the political class along with the media, has turned a Football fan ban into a Jews versus Muslims rhetoric. All encouraged by the Prime Minister. To the point that Muslims living in Birmingham are being called Islamists on national news channels.
