The Bible literally says that a woman can be created from a man’s rib, Janet.
Telegraph and Mail journalist Janet Murray on Facebook: Apparently the Church of England has ordained its first 'transgender woman' - following a 'gender transition'.
Now, I'm no biblical scholar. But I did go to a faith school, study compulsory RE until I was 16, and get an 'A' in Religious Studies (back when that was the top grade). So I'm scratching my head here.
Genesis says God created humankind "male and female". Where does the Bible say that men can become women? Sarah Jones is a man, not a woman.

The main answer is separate infrastructure. But it's also mutual respect - cyclists should give priority to pedestrians; pedestrians should recognise that cyclists passing them with 1.5 metres of space didn't "nearly hit them" even if they didn't hear their bell & that both deserve to travel safely.

Suggested ground rules for the ‘debate’ on 'bad' cycling 🧵: 1) Cyclists or cycling advocates are not collectively responsible for the bad behaviour of individuals. What’s your actual point? You want less cycling or rules that have that effect? Be clear.

Lowe going even lower. An official carrying out the policies of an elected government is threatened with imprisonment. What's going on here is deeply disturbing.
Rupert Lowe

A high-ranking official in the Home Office is today ordering where to send those invaders that arrived in Portsmouth last night.

Which is the next Piddington, or Epping, or Crowborough, or Thetford?

I want that man or woman to know that if they give the order to place hundreds of unvetted young men into a British community, then a Restore Britain Government will aim to prosecute them.

This is retrospective.

If we win power, and we're already the fourth largest political party through membership, that official will be dragged through the courts.

With prison the ultimate aim.

Currently, we are fourth favourite with the bookmakers to win the most seats well ahead of the Lib Dems and the Greens. For a six month old party, that is impressive.

But we need more.

Lend us your support and give this threat real teeth.

That official needs to know that there will be consequences for their actions.

Not in 2029, but now. Today. 2026.

That is what Restore Britain is promising the British people.

Consequences.
