The experience of trans people in Britain is a glaring demonstration that taxonomical debates are never purely and simply that, but stop-gaps on a path to marginalisation and oppression. Anyone entertaining this stage will comply with what follows, so we might as well clarify what that is.

Miliband: "To the millions in this country.. who have been moved & outraged by the plight of the Palestinian people, we hear you. You were right" So scrap the proscription of Palestine Action. End all arms exports to Israel. Impose sanctions on the Israeli govt & economy.

Anyway, as much as we may mock, this is the wholly forseeable end-point of a system where universities are (a) deliberately starved of resources; (b) deliberately bereft of public mission and vocation; (c) deliberately placed in the hands of an intellecually/morally bankrupt management class.

The youngest person his pager attack killed was 9-year-old Fatima Abdullah, who had just started 4th grade. The pager was on a table when it went off and she picked it up to take to her dad. It exploded in her face and reports said it covered the room in her blood. She wanted to learn English.

This is a powerful way to extend the logic of your child being your property that is so popular in this country (why do you think they're so freaked out about trans kids). This makes kids legally about the same level as dogs. Very British but not exactly ideal for a society humans have to live in.

So scanning this, it looks like a proposal to roll out what they did in York, and I'm sure elsewhere, to everywhere. So no treatment unless you're suicidal or extremely complex needs, just signposting to existing inadequate and generic local MH services.

They genuinely can't see capitalism as an ideological position & that they're ideologues. For them capitalism is a given feature of the world, a natural facet like gravity & only other people with different 'unnatural' political preferences are ideologues, shirking the order of the universe

Diagnosis & treatment for me meant being able to envision a future where I can stay *in* work rather than eventual descent into burnout. The closest I got to 'once you're in the health system you're in the welfare system' was having my slow thyroid diagnosed & free prescriptions, is that bad now?

My cousin got me a ticket to the Wigan Roller Rink send-off tonight & I'm gonna cry seeing it go. It's been a couple of years now since I was able to get over there thanks to my back being so messed up and I wish now I'd just pushed through the pain. Feel so bad for the locals.

Big words from a guy who's never hosted his own Saturday night BBC1 snooker-themed gameshow www.ukgameshows.com/ukgs/Big_Break

If anything they've gone too easy on him here

At mine the actual lawyer staff members seemed to think I was a uni student and wanted to send me out for cigs. I was itching to shadow some proper legal work but once they realised I wouldn't be allowed to skivvy in the particular way they envisaged no one was interested.

Anyway the point I failed to make here is that however rosy-to-mildly-disappointing the work experience memories of those of us over say 35 are, they happened before the wholesale normalisation of gov funneling young workers into the maws of business as unpaid labour. Not a helpful comparison today.

Ironically I really wanted to go help our family friend in her new sweet shop but my mum put her foot down, somehow under the impression that if it was in an office it wouldn't be a total sack-off, and that cold-calling random businesses would build character.

I guess what I did learn is if you have nice middle-class professional parents with connections you can land the sort of well-planned and involved placements that are actually somewhat meaningful, but the pals who swung those were hardly looking down the barrel of a NEET life otherwise.

These things can only conceivably benefit the student if the employer has a comprehensive and well thought through work experience and 95% of companies do not. My current place puts effort into theirs and it involves a bunch of different staff and time and planning. That's not happening en masse!

I did work experience aged 15 in a solicitors office I picked out of the phone book. They had no idea what to do with me and dumped me in the post room to fuck up their photocopying and do mail runs for 2 weeks. Boring and depressing but they got minimal actual labour out of me.

You cannot cordially debate someone whose agenda is to remove the rights of various marginalised communities and then pretend you actually care about said communities The humanity of some should never be debatable. That should be a red line and the fact it needs to be said tells us a lot... 4/

The way reactionaries have been welcomed in mainstream circles including on the left even as they hardly hid their agenda should give us pause for thought Beyond the mainstreaming of reaction, it has also led to the delegitimisation of anti-racist and anti-fascist politics seen as "polarising" 3/

The Kathleen Stocks of the world's have truly been giving the game away recycling their miserable anti-trans screeds, with the barest effort to switch the focus to neurodivergence, ethnicity, class etc. "These people's feeble nature is self-evident, particularly when they try to asset their rights."

The ADHD conspiracy and the gender critical movement and the Prof Arday story and the crackdown on disability support are all the same story. There is a default ideal human: a cishet non-disabled white male. The further you deviate from that ideal, the more suspect you become.

I think it’s just worth remembering that as the media handwring to justify publicly humiliating and hounding a man to death, just two weeks ago they gave glowing eulogies to another man with a history of domestic violence and brushed off his own statements about having pedophillic impulses

The first and second paragraphs here are intensely connected. Like the previous deckchair arrangement, the Burnham ministry is devoted to full-throated disaster capitalism. They will ignore climate change as long as possible, and then they'll wield total state brutality as the country burns.
