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.
There’s growing panic in the White House as no one can remember whether it’s Donald Trump’s turn to announce massive strikes on Iran or to announce that he’s called off massive strikes on Iran because they’re now begging for a deal. Borrowed from HIGNFY....

Reminder that the Tories believe any non-British person who commits more than a minor parking or traffic offence should be automatically deported. They “believe in second chances”, apparently, but only for literal Nazis.

The state of this. A lovely day out for Badenoch and Philp, playing dress up and making pronouncements about early release schemes - having left the country with one hundred available men's prison places, after fourteen years in charge. You read that right. One hundred places.
My column on how capital becomes a death cult. Faced with a choice between profit and human life, the radical right chooses profit. Then it tries to persuade us that mass death is what we want. It's the new phase of climate denial: accept your fate, earthlings. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
Murderous heat, an endangered food supply, decimated landscapes: embrace the Mediterranean life | George Monbiot
As climate disaster stares us in the face, the radical right says ‘Embrace the Mediterranean life’. Embrace death, more like it, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

The Righteous Rupert Lowe-Life preached about leaches sucking the financial blood out of Britain. This is the same Whoopert Lowe-Life whose company took £100k in furlough cash despite making £7.9 million profit He really didn’t need it but it was free, it was available so he took it like a leach

It's seriously scary how many people swallow the lies & believe them to be true 😠 In other news, has anyone checked how many British "ex-pats" (ie immigrants) in France, Spain etc don't speak the language? Nah, coz it's not the same innit 🤷♀️
The far right is using the border chaos in Ceuta to manufacture a continent-wide crisis narrative. Actors immediately deploy divisive language to make voters angry as fast as possible, regardless of the facts. It is a familiar, dangerous playbook designed to stoke fear and undermine democracy.

Course you would, “love”… And Brexit will suddenly be amazing. And climate change will go away. And Trump will give us the bestest trade deal ever. And voters will love you for scrapping their rights, to please your moneyed mates… Now, pipe down and focus on your upcoming fight with a bin.
