Do you think this is unambiguous enough?
I want all information that is legally accessible that mentions me, is/is relating to my interview/the recording of that/the search warrant executed on me/my police caution. Basically everything you have on me that you can legally send about my case I want.

Why I want to be councillor
Hi, I’m Astrid and I am running to be selected as a GPEW councillor in Brighton. I love this city a lot, the community is amazing. One of my first experiences in the city was when I was moving here and someone was transphobic to me. This alone would be awful, but someone in the city stepped up and defended me. This stuck with me and I think is what Brighton is about: sticking up for people who feel unable to speak. I’ve dedicated my life to trying to make this city better.

Unfortunately, Brighton isn’t a perfect city. I believe the community here is excellent and worth fighting for, but so many institutions are failing people. I had a mental health crisis and during this got served a Section 21 notice. I was, however, one of the lucky ones. When I went to Mill View twice pleading for help, I got put into a trial with a group called Venture People, meant to help people before a crisis. This person went into the council building begging for help for me, and there was nothing from the council except an argument with them. This group and Southdown helped me out of this crisis, but the idea the council only steps in when a bailiff is on your door is abhorrent. We need to do better with housing, and in a pre-emptive manner. Groups like the Young Persons Group run by Southdown also need our help. These services are precious but really stretched.

My main goal as a councillor is to listen to people and fix their problems. Many people will say “stop the boats”, but if you dig deeper, they have so many problems that lead them to that. We need to find their problems and dig for solutions.

It's okay to be gay. You don't need to be so rattled about being gay, just don't hurt other members of the community! 🏳️‍🌈

A new copypasta dropped 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 (the Tommy Robinson “I’m not gay I have gay friends” copypasta)
IT'S TIME TO ADDRESS THE TROLLS
I love living in their heads rent free.
I get sent all sorts of things to post from many people, from many different backgrounds and orientations, things like this gay love advert on YouTube with 'No Age Limit'.
So rather than address the fact YouTube is actually advertising "no age limit gay sex' that minors have access to, they would sooner post about whatever appears in my feed or whatever people send to me TO DISTRACT AND TROLL.
I don't give a fuck, trolls will always troll. You are all so predictable, you all like to steer a narrative rather than address the actual issue.
Because you are pro child mutilating pro child abusing wankers.
You are degenerate and EVIL.And I will continue exposing your EVIL LGBTQ+ degeneracy.
Just so you all know, I get adverts on YouTube to donate to the building of a new mosque, I get adverts asking me to donate to Gazans in Palestine.
Do you think I want to donate to the building of new mosques, or donate to well fed plump Gazans who have not been genocided?
Of course not!!!!
But they appear in my feeds regardless.
Why?
Because I research whats going on in the world, the algorithm thinks that's what I want to see as an advertisement.
That's what algorithms do.
If any of you think I want to donate to thebuilding of a new command and control centre (a mosque) you are obviously RETARDED.
But trolls generally are RETARDED.
Have fun with this post you kiddie fiddling left wing wet wipes

Met police tweet:

Two thirds of officers and staff surveyed agree that this policy is needed. We think the majority of the public would also agree.
 
There have been calls going back a number of years for the role of Freemasonry in policing to be properly addressed, including as a recommendation in the report of the Daniel Morgan Independent Panel. 

We strongly believe that failing to act on these calls would further damage trust not only among the public but also other officers and staff.
 
Victims should be able to know that when they report allegations to us, the officers investigating have been transparent about any potential conflicts of interest. 

Similarly, officers and staff should be able to know that when they report wrongdoing by colleagues it will be investigated on its merits with no opportunity for secret loyalties to play any part.
 
We must prioritise the maintenance of vital trust and confidence over any organisation’s desire to maintain secrecy.

When people say the BBC is biased, this is what we mean. When a report attacks trans people, its the highlighted post, when a report accepts trans people are being failed, its hidden.

Screenshot of a document titled “GRC Application Criteria” listing four numbered points about Astrid: she is over 18, has a confirmed history of gender incongruence from childhood/adolescence, has lived as female since 2023 and continues to do so, and intends to live in her affirmed gender for the rest of her life. Below, a “Recommendations” section states the writer is happy to support Astrid’s application for a gender recognition certificate in her affirmed female gender.

Clear as day. Court rules Dr Upton should have been discriminated against because of her gender from same sex spaces. Even if temporary, that is a clear stance trans women shouldn't be counted as cis women in complaint proceedings. Yes some of the more wild shit got tossed, but don't spin this.
The first respondent harassed the claimant contrary to section 26(1) of the Equality Act 2010 ("the Act") by:
(a) failing to revoke the grant of permission to the second respondent to use the female staff changing room of the Emergency Department of Victoria Hospital, Kirkcaldy from on and after 16 September 2023 until the claimant returned to work on 14 April 2024 when rota arrangements were made such that the claimant and second respondent were not working together at the same time, as a result of which the second respondent entered the said changing room when the claimant was present on 25 October 2023 and the claimant entered it when the second respondent was present for a period over midnight on 24-25 December 2023;

A screenshot of an online form titled "I need help with something else." Below this, a yellow warning banner reads: "Do not submit medical queries on this page." The main content area has a text box labeled "Briefly describe your admin query." Within this box, the following text is visible: "Under my GDPR right to access, I would like the following data please: - The individuals that opened my medical records, the entity they belong to, and where logged, the reason within the last year - Any data that was added or removed about me within the last year and, where possible, the person who did - Any communication where possible between WellBN and NHS Sussex about me within the last year If giving more data is easier than getting these bits alone, I am happy to filter myself." Below the text box, it says "10 characters remaining." At the bottom of the form, there are two buttons: "Back" and "Continue."

A three-panel comic strip in black and white.

Panel 1: A cartoon character with dog ears and dark hair, wearing a simple white outfit, holds a small bong. Their expression is slightly downcast.

Panel 2: The same character, now with wide, startled eyes and a shocked expression, has a speech bubble pointing to them that says, "STOP! YOU CAN'T HIT THAT! IT'S THE PUPPY WEED!"

Panel 3: The character's head has been replaced with the realistic head of a small puppy, looking directly at the viewer with wide eyes. They still hold the bong, and a speech bubble next to them says, "... the what?"
