Just think about the colossal resources this country has wasted on being transphobic and making trans people’s lives a misery all for scenarios terfs made up in their heads

Are cis people paying attention to what Andy Burnham is doing to trans people or are you still too excited over his message of 'hope'? Like, today. Do you see what has happened *today*?

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... I can't really describe how evil and cruel this is. I can't really describe how this is one of the most awful policies I've ever heard, and how much it will hurt people. I don't even really have the words.

I’m going to sound like a fucking gammon now. When I was a kid you went to your GP, got a prescription, went to the chemist, waited a bit and got your tablets. Now your prescription is sent to the chemist and they take 4-5 days to process it. It’s a bit shit really.

Melanie probably slightly better but I preferred Shaun. I hated that Charleston with a burning passion. Total mess. #Strictly

That seems right. Hope Melanie goes, the first ever Charleston that I've thoroughly hated.

So Kai can be a huge Trump supporter, appear on GB News and praise it as "very honest" but Bethany's "Protect the Dolls" t-shirt is blurred out. Fuck the BBC.

Obviously, I hope that this person can recover from their injuries. However, it's very important to underline that the tiger has done *nothing* wrong here and, if it gets killed, that would be utterly immoral. news.sky.com/share/13570660

I never NEVER want to be the type of person who makes life harder for workmen doing things that cause inconvenience. But a wee bit of give and take wouldn't hurt. Came into the shop this morning and there's workies filling out a huge hole in front of our neighbour's unit.

Sending love to my Jewish friends today. The events of and since October 7th three years ago have unleashed a wave of anti-semitism that is truly terrifying people and making Jews feel unsafe in their homes, schools, and workplaces. We have to do better at supporting our Jewish communities.

I am really sick of the current string of bigots who cannot hack people pointing out their bigotry. “Errr, you can’t actually say we’re eroding your rights because if we were doing that we would be wrong, and Bad People, so you’re obviously mistaken! I’m a Good Person.” Uh-huh?

Poor Amy is still a bit stoned from the sedative we gave her before taking her to the vet. Have had to stop her falling off the chair arm twice in 5 minutes. Have moved so she can have the full chair for safety purposes.

In the vet with Amy. She needs an ultrasound as she may have a heart murmur. I’m sure it’s all fine back there but anxiety has set in while I’m sitting in the waiting room.

I recommend that people take a bar of chocolate to Auschwitz. When you come out you feel tired, weak, lost and almost unreal. You need something to bring you back to normality. But clearly I should have been recommending a flask of tea to avoid the coffee shop prices. That’s the important message.

When it's time to renew my car insurance it won't be with AXA. Been on hold with the repeated message "Your estimated wait time is less than 10 minutes". I'm over 20 minutes in. And they aren't even my insurer. They've just refused to engage with our insurer so I'm trying to sort it out.

My mum never liked Martina Navratilova - thought she was a great player but a bully. She was an MS society volunteer and said JKR used her money to control people and organizations. Very vaguely knew the Proclaimers through the SNP - thought they were pricks. Clearly she could sniff a TERF out.

There are masked men stopping access to crucial infrastructure, thugs protesting at hotels because there's some brown kids staying there, RNLI volunteers being given security advice because of the threat of violence and the government's priority is giving Mayors the right to charge tourists more.

The word "genocide" should never be applied easily or quickly. But it's hard to think of a word other than "genocidal" to describe the imagery and words used by Ben Gvir. And given he's a senior member of the Israeli government, it's hard not to apply that to the entire government.
