Fo anyone who does not realise. The French government has repeatedly offered to build FOR FREE a refugee processing centre in France and will allow UK Border Control officials to man it. The UK refuses because the Conservatives/Brexit Party
want and need the small boat crises

Dr Hilary Cass collaborated with US MAGA Republican fascist Ron De Santis according to this report...

Yesterday I said on Novara Media that I thought Cass's proposals looked like the worst of the Republican states' trans bans, now I know why...

Despite condemnation from international medical authorities and their own clinicians NHS England will no longer prescribe puberty blockers to trans kids. They will still prescribe them to cis kids, but kids will now have to go private or leave the country for care.

A transgender teenage girl was just stabbed 14 times at a party in the UK and had slurs yelled out at her. It appears she survived the attack.

The rising anti-trans extremism in the UK is terrifying.

'Punchlines about a tiny, powerless minority, who are disproportionately likely to be beaten, bullied, raped, rejected by families + denied employment, is heartless whoever is listening, whoever is in the room. It matters every time. It affects everyone.' inews.co.uk/opinion/rishi-…

'It is no wonder that hate crimes against trans people are on the rise, and in my opinion, politicians like Sunak and Badenoch have played a part in increasing anti-trans hostility with their policies, views and crass banter.'

In terms of 'general critical' rhetoric, what he said was relatively mild. Online, 'gender critical' people like Graham Linehan have been liking 'GC' tweets that refer to Brianna as a pervert, and Posie Parker has been calling her mother 'evil.'

That's how awful they are. 2/

It could turn out that the Rishi Sunak 'trans jibe' (as the media calls it) might be a bit of a watershed moment, where the UK general public gain some understanding of how cruel and inhumane 'gender critical' people have been to trans people and their familes for years, now. 1/

Other than refusing to apologise - what on earth is he doing smiling while talking about the murder of a teenage girl?

Rishi Sunak seems to be completely devoid of even the basic building blocks of emotional intelligence?

It was a 'joke'. They all laughed

Because unless you agree to point at people like me and say 'You can't have kids! You'll never be a real woman!' then you 'don't know what a woman is'. Ha ha

It's not 'trans issues', 'gender politics' or 'commenting on policy'. It's transphobia

'It's toying with the lives of trans people. Like they don't have the right to a little bit of dignity, even in death.'

Rishi Sunak's heinous transphobia in front of Brianna Ghey's mother at was nothing short of disturbing.

Sunak won't apologise.

Brianna Ghey's father, Peter Spooner:
'For the Prime Minister of our country to come out with degrading comments like he did...they are absolutely dehumanising '
'....I personally feel shocked by his comments and feel he should apologise for his comments.'

What happened today in parliament was shameful. It’s important to keep sharing this clip of Esther Ghey whose compassion & empathy is the exact opposite of that stupidity. Even if we fail Ghey’s humanity when faced with the most unbearable loss is what we should aspire to .

Trans people are not a cheap punchline. They are human beings who deserve to live happily and peacefully as they truly are.
