I've often found myself sitting through co-workers gushing about trips to countries I could never set foot in and it's annoying as heck.

At a certain point I think we need to start asking what he actually does with his time, since he seems unaware of everything.

Yeah; even if it weren't just scaremongering (it is) I'm pretty sure in medical science it's typically considered very unethical to leave someone untreated just because you're testing a treatment, especially where leaving people without treatment has a known harm.

Bigotry is bigotry; being in a marginalised group doesn't give someone a free pass to be shit to another.

Btw, would you accept us white people lecturing you about why another white person isn't racist?

Savoury: Pie and mash, Cornish pasties, shepherd's pie, Sunday roast (Yorkshire pudding).

Sweet: tea and scones, Bakewell pudding.

We've got plenty of stuff.

As a British trans person, I refer to our country as terf island (most of us would).

Of course not everyone here is a full on terf, no-one thinks that, but our culture has allowed them to thrive with minimal opposition and blind acceptance of "reasonable concerns"; we need to reckon with that.

Yeah, really could do with foreigners laying off that; it just plays into right wing "can't be proud of being British anymore" rhetoric.

I think we ought ought to rebuild our national identity around positive things like sharing a Sunday roast.

Also, our national dish is chicken tikka masala.

There's literally been studies about this; our teeth *look* worse (less aligned, off white) but that's just because teeth are naturally like that and we're less likely to care about purely aesthetic stuff.

We have fewer missing teeth than Americans.

Okay,

1) They're called mushy peas, not mashed (can't stand them myself though; much prefer beans)
2) Chips are not the same thing as fries.
3) Its not our cuisine, it's our fast food, and I don't think Americans get to lecture us about liking deep fried carby stuff.

You know the whole British teeth thing isn't true right?

The stereotype started from American soldiers stationed here during WW2; notably a time of shortages and before the NHS was founded.

Our average dental health is good, we're just not obsessed with whitening (which is bad for the enamel btw).

our workplace rights are under attack from who, nadia?

who is attacking our rights?

go on. you can say it. i believe in you.

Nadia, Labour is haemorrhaging support from anyone vaguely left wing and all your leadership do to respond is double down; how much more pressure do you think it's gonna take?

They ignore science and would rather meet with terf groups than us.

You can't reason someone out of a bigoted crusade.

Given their history of tactical leaking to cause rage I'm glad TDoV has already happened.

Likely one of the librarians is a terf and had been hiding it; hopefully your complaint gets them under more scrutiny.

Her exact words were:

"...But it is unacceptable to question the integrity of the judiciary, or indeed the regulator, as some have done.”

Just fully tried to shut down any scrutiny.

Zany Zack Polanskis green party are selling a future that nobody sane would choose

That future: Lower bills. Tax billionaires. End Rip off Britain.

Who's in?

It’s profoundly ignorant to suggest that the Pope should be fighting crime on behalf of the Catholic Church. Anyone who was remotely familiar with Roman Catholicism would know that that’s what Daredevil is for

I know a lot of people do just vote based on party, but going door to door is still considered effective and I think reform are going to struggle to find people who aren't actively off-putting if they try that.

The thing about these far right grifters is that the con only works while they're at odds with the powers that be.

"I know how to fix the world, but my book" stops being effective when we're watching their ideology burn the world.

If Goodwin is the guy they trot out as their special boy for a by-election, I can't imagine who they're gonna scrape the bottom of the barrel for to run for that many seats.

Looks like they were expecting more people because they brought more flags etc than they could hold 😂

(Also, terf on the right trying to cover up the ones that look a bit nazi-ish; like seriously, they had those in London too and did none of them think it looks a bit swastika-y?)

Convenient of them to find an angle not showing the (admittedly very few) flags and banners they had, because most of what I saw was either deranged nonsense or kinda fashy.

I'm not sure how a wild horse would drag you; with it's teeth?

reskeet this if you’re a trans woman who has never been on 4chan or kiwifarms. Just trying to see something

They seem to populist just means being a political weathervane with no agenda of your own and doing what you reckon will make people like you.

Which is funny, because labour are the ones who keep doing exactly this (they're kinda shit at it though).

Problem is then they'd have to admit how much they've been enabling it

Thing is, pretty sure these are all sports where the women's category is explicitly not because of any inherent difference in ability, instead created because the open category was a boys club putting women off.

But now we have feminist identitying morons insisting women have weak brains.

Anyone outright declaring themselves not homophobic is homophobic imo; it shows they think they get to be judge of it so won't reflect on their biases. (This applies to any kind of bigotry)

And yeah, I hope whoever booked him got their money back.

Zack in front of a hope is here sign.

🚨 First time in British history that a party to the left of Labour have topped a national poll.

💚 Hope is here. It's all of us.

✊🏼 Reject hateful, divisive politics - and let's make hope normal again.
