It's annoying, that degree inflation has made jobs demand a masters degree when one isn't needed. Back in 1990 when I was a student a masters was unusual, now it isn't. But an employer will just select on "Have they got a masters" and exclude people whose degrees predate degree inflation.

Thinking further on this. Actions of British schools and teachers towards trans pupils may be legal, but are squarely "I was only following orders" behaviour. Any participating in this must be named and shamed, and be aware that when this is over, so are their careers. bsky.app/profile/fier...

The Labour government has caused a quiet exodus of trans Brits and their families for several years now. They may not fit your image of a refugee, but these people are the refugees who are getting out early.

This is interesting, though not as a journalist. We've seen a lot of panic through Trans Rescue. We've told people to get out if they can. Our point however is to ensure that people in a panic have a clear path and accurate information. With bad information, people end up in bad situations.

It's the mildly frustratimg thing about taking a big data approach to mapping anti-trans activity, that a lot of people don't umderstand what you are doing.

Year so far use of the word "Transgender" across all British news media. The Daily Mail is split between their .co.uk and .com addresses because their RSS feed changed the URLs it served mid time period. They are *obsessed* with us.

I am sad to be so despondent about the UK. It has nothing to offer me, economically, socially, or politically. Poor jobs, poor housing, social services broken, people like me are now segregated, and my pension to be worthless. Not safe, not viable. Doesn't matter who I vote for.

I keep saying that for whatever reason, people treat transphobia as a "lesser" sort of prejudice. Not a "real" prejudice like racism. And that is FUCKED UP. Bigotry is bigotry. Transphobia is just as vile as racism, homophobia, antisemitism, Islamophobia, etc. bsky.app/profile/jenn...

The very idea of moving country is scary, so people seek comfort in reasons why they can't do it. A good example is Brexit. "I can't leave cos EU freedom of movement isn't possible any more". Ask yourself honestly. If EU FoM still existed would you really take it up, or find another reason not to?

Trans Rescue has a lot of scammers try it on. Over time we've become pretty good at spotting them. Every now and then I see ppl here and elsewhere innocently sharing appeals that set off my alarm bells. Difficult to march in and denounce them as scammers. But I wish people would do their homework.

Good to see this from a mainstream UK party. Is this the start of our long walk? I can't however overlook, the Lib Dems still have a TERF wing they're not prepared to deal with. If you held racist views as a Lib Dem you'd rightly be kicked out. If you're a transphobe you get to sit in the Lords.

I honestly can’t believe this is what has become acceptable in the U.K. why is he not being charged with hate crime? Twitter is a cesspit of antisemitism (and every other ism)
Calvin Robinson has posted an antisemitic diatribe on Twitter that reads “It is the Jews. It has always been the Jews.
Not all of them, but always them.
There is no avoiding this truth. Everything else is a distraction. Once you notice, you cannot unsee.
Marxism/Communism/Socialism, Bolshevism,
Feminism, Liberalism/Libertarianism,
Anarchism, Psychoanalysis, Critical Theories, Neoconservatism, Zionism.”Robinson’s next antisemitic post on twitter “There is no wonder our Lord did not mince his words when describing them:
"Brood of vipers" Matthew 3:7, Luke 3:7, Matthew 12:34 & 23:33.
"Of your father the devil" John 8:44
"killed the Lord Jesus and the prophets" 1
Thessalonians 2:14-16
"Synagogue of Satan" Revelation 2:9 & 3:9
St Paul knew them well:
"You suffered from your own people the same things those churches suffered from the Jews who killed the Lord Jesus and the prophets and also drove us out. They displease God and are hostile to everyone in their effort to keep us from speaking to the Gentiles so that they may be saved."

Amid the Piddington silliness,there's a genuine point to be made. We have an asylum problem, but it's not the numbers. It's that those who arrive wait far too long for procesing Thus we have a large backlog to house. This is squarely the fault of the politicians, not the asylum seekers. Thread...
