Nothing to be proud of here...a Day of Shame for our UK, any Govt supporting this & an agency supposed to be representing Equality & Human Rights. Trans People were never a threat. Those seeking to remove Rights & exclude those who differ from them are. Not a debate just the latest move vs #ECHR.

Phang: "Capital One said, 'We don't want the business anymore of the 45th president of the United States, his businesses, his failed sons, and his revocable trust.' So you can imagine -- I am just hypothesizing... but it suggests whatever Capital One uncovered was pretty bad. Makes you wonder..."
