Hope that's the US Guardian because the UK edition is an anti trans cesspit and definitely not progressive.

Or we could limit private rents and then the rest of us wouldn't have to pay landlords £billions which we could spend on building council homes.

Like the curate's egg. Good in parts 🤣 I'm 75 and crumbling gently but still manage an active and satisfying sex life and long walks with friends but have an increasing number of health problems. Osteoporosis being the latest. Not happy about the way society is going. Homo/transphobia on the rise.

I'm afraid I can't even re listen to the real ones. The way Robin was treated was a disgrace and not a word of support from Cox.

And the vast majority of us would be right behind you. The RNLI is the best of us and I'm proud to be a supporter.

You'll be delighted that they've banned Pride flags and have stopped funding for Durham Pride though, eh Ms Phillipson. Fits right in with your Section 28 2.0. Fortunately Unions stepped in to fund Pride which you must've hated.

I just can't listen to it anymore after the BBC forced Robin Ince out because he expressed support for trans people. And I was a huge fan.

Building a relationship with us by telling us that's it's not necessarily homophobic to hate queers or tell us we're going to hell to deny us equal rights or to call for the death penalty for gay sex. Way to go Mary-Ann

The Guardian, even in its Manchester days, was and is a Liberal supporting paper. They were never left wing economically and their social liberalism was just skin deep as seen by its response to trans people having the same rights as everyone else.

Warburtons because one of the family, a farmer, threatened my dad with a shotgun when he went to do some work on a pole transformer on his land. Also Tesco because of Shirley Porter's corruption in the 80s I'm good at holding a grudge lol

Melanie Phillips should've been proscribed decades ago when she was peddling nasty homophobia in the Observer of all papers.

How sad. My grandad was a tailor starting in the 19th century. And my dad used to make clothes for my mum and sisters.

But very important to note that according to Labour, Tories, Reform and all of the MSM, Zionism is not a racist ideology.

This directly affects my neighbours and me. We were sent a 'consultation' by TVCA that ommitted Route A, which would connect the A1(M) to the A66 and avoid the new garden village and asked to choose our preferred option none of which address the problems of heavy traffic passing through N Darlington

Her actions very much suggest that not only is she deeply transphobic she's also homophobic and just a tad racist. The ideal choice for the head of a human rights commission in our Looking Glass world.

I sometimes wish she could just go back to the 80s homophobia. Other times I just wish she'd die.

She says that zionism means different things thus excusing their killing of Arab Palestinians both Muslim & Christian. My post was asking why she won't call this out as racism? So imo it was a relevant to her speech.

A nation claiming its people are the master race and have every right to find living space in other sovereign nations was obviously racist. But another nation claiming it was chosen by god and has every right to expand into other sovereign nations isn't racist? Please explain

BBC News - Employers should teach primary-age children about work, Milburn says - BBC News www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... Knowing arch neo-liberal Milburn I expect this is just a prelude to sending kids into dark satanic mills or up chimneys. No doubt it will be in the next manifesto.

The author of a major report into youth activity in the UK says children as young as four should be learning about careers.

Now why on earth would they do that? Lula is on the left and the BEEB would never get any of their overpaid 'journalists' to even recognise him.

Which is fine and I'm glad you enjoyed yourselves. However, some straight women get carried away and think it's just fine to harass or even grope the gay men they find there. Has happened to me several times and that is not OK.

And no Labour ministers seem at all bothered that a reactionary court is gutting the Equality Act passed by a previous Labour government 🙄

If the UK is anything to go by there will be no more than a dozen of them. Bots and socks rarely attend conferences. PS love nest as the collective noun for terfs

It's Labour who banned PBs. And who haven't done anything to restore the Equality Act. And who've introduced a new Sect28. And still no ban on conversion therapy because they can't work out how to exclude trans people from the ban. I shan't be voting for them again.

But not too much. And not while wearing a short skirt or after having a drink. Nor when you haven't had a drink. And not when your husband is there. Nor if he's not there! And do not on any account smile while offering your opinion to a man. On any topic.

One of the main reasons I left Labour before the GE and have now joined the Greens. I will no longer vote for the lesser of two evils. Wrote and spoke to my Labour MP and have no doubt that they'll do nothing to improve the lives of trans people. All dignity and respect and nothing concrete.
