an idiot’s solution that wouldn’t work even if the problem it was trying to solve existed in the first place. everyone involved in this should be in prison, including the entire labour government.

Our code of practice for services, public functions and associations comes into force today. It provides practical guidance on how the Equality Act 2010 applies to services, public functions and associations. Find out more: https://ow.ly/alIf50Zwrkx

Quote from Dr Mary-Ann Stephenson: 'At the EHRC we want a society where everyone’s rights are respected and realised, so that we can all live well together. Our statutory guidance will help services across the country comply with the Equality Act, protecting service users from discrimination and harassment while reducing the risk of the provider being subject to litigation. As Britain’s equality regulator, our work doesn’t end upon publication of this guidance. We monitor compliance with the law and take enforcement action where proportionate and necessary, in line with our well-established regulatory model and decision-making framework.'

more genuinely I do think actually being mean after someone awful dies is a social good, it reminds the living that you might not get karmic punishment in this life or the next, but that people will simply despise you and laugh at you and then forget you

terfs be like: can I just shock you? I actually got on well with this racist, mysogynist creep. you’ll find this difficult to believe, almost impossible, I imagine, but me and this vile bigot were mates

just because *you* aren’t linking exposure to deaths doesn’t mean you aren’t indirectly advocating for more deaths as a better outcome than mental health deficits and interrupted education, lewis.

Nobody is saying Covid deaths were preferable. The Q is whether every intervention was worth it. Democracies have to weigh competing harms, not assume that any measure labelled 'anti-Covid' was automatically justified. We're only just reckoning with the costs to kids of school closures.

I wish there was a single politician willing to say we need more immigrants here in the UK, immigration is a fundamental freedom and good in-itself, and we should accept all migrants as new neighbours and fellow children of god, as the nominal official religion of this country supposedly preaches

"Sinking in Polls, Farage Plans Week of Attacks on Immigration" Reform plan to make next week Immigration Week It could finally be the moment for broadcast media to notice the > 75% drop in net migration since 2024. There is also a 42% drop in boat crossings

Bloomberg: Sinking in Polls, Farage Plans Week of Attacks on Immigration Reform UK party is planning to hold multiple press conferences on immigration to turn public attention to the issue, despite the number of migrants arriving in the country nearly halving from the same time last year. A total of 14,200 immigrants have arrived in the UK via small boats so far this year, down 44% compared to the same period last year, with the Home Office and National Crime Agency increasing seizures of small-boat engines and improving enforcement cooperation with the French. The issue of immigration threatens to be riskier territory for new Prime Minister Andy Burnham, who is already facing disquiet from backbench colleagues over reforms proposed during his predecessor's tenure.

quite apart from anything else, several of these things are what she says they aren’t. like an open secret *is* a secret? in the context of the pantomime, a pantomime horse *is* a horse? and fair game only isn’t because it’s abstracted metaphor. This woman nominally uses language for a living.

Look, there’s a lot to dispute here, but I am quite concerned that JK Rowling appears to think “pantomime” and “crow’s” are adjectives.

LittleFurnace on Twitter: Trans is an adjective, you donkey. Adjectives come before nouns. For example "pathetic woman", "soulless billionaire", or "walking scrotum". You would know that if you weren't a fucking terrible writer. JK Rowling in reply: A pantomine horse isn't a horse. An open secret isn't a secret. A hot dog isn't a dog. A shrinking violet isn't a violet. Crow's feet aren't feet. Fair game's not a game. Trans women aren't women.
