The Fight Against Violence Towards Women Didn't End with the Suffragettes The suffragettes fought for far more than the right to vote. They challenged a society that expected women to stay silent, accept inequality, and tolerate injustice.

If you think Labour’s viciously transphobic schools “guidance” will not affect your child, because they are not trans, you are wrong. The Rights Respecting School is dead. This will affect all children in every school in the UK. If one child’s human rights are violated, it is a RRS for no-one.

This seems to be a problem with a lot of the planning applications around new datacentres in Scotland. The blurb talks about harnessing local renewables but the details show that the significant investment needed to do that just isn't there. It's greenwashing, and it needs called out.

Joining the chorus of disapproval for the under-16s social media ban. There *is* unhealthy usage and ill-effects in this age group, but this is the equivalent of dealing with school shootings by banning children from schools. Fix the platforms.
