The Telegraph are now searching Bluesky for things to be offended by while listing all the awful things one of their reporters did.
Lee Hurley@hleehurley.com · 20h agoThey linked to me in that Telegraph article about Rod Liddle ffs. I didn't even warrant a name, just 'transgender activist'. At least they called me 'he'. www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/08...
Apart from this. Handy "This is impossible. You will be sued either way." Letter. Still not the basic fucking point (go back to how it was) but at least it directs annoyance
![To whom it may concern,
I visited your [ONE OF] shop/café/restaurant/business yesterday.
During that visit, I needed to use the lavatory. I note that you have undertaken to provide separate "Men's" and "Women's" facilities.
[ONE OF]

I asked for directions from member of staff. At no time did they try to confirm which facility was appropiate for me based on new EHRC guidelines relating to "biological sex".

I asked for directions from member of staff. They asked me a series of deeply inappropriate, private questions as to my eligibility for a particular facility, presumably based on new EHRC guidelines relating to "biological sex".

By not enforcing the "biologIcal sex"-based segregation which you have undertaken to provide in your infrastructure, you may be subject to litigation.
[D]
Challenging service users or demanding evidence of their "biological sex" may be subject to privacy-invasion-related litigation under Article 8 of the European Conventionm of Human Rights. It is also a deeply dehumanising approach to treating your customers.
I sympathise with your predicament. The guidelines are unclear and contradictory. Only switching to unisex facilities would completely avoid this problem which didn't previously exist.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:gwv4re7u3kij4hc3tftufhpj/bafkreicewrnszjcnczqarzsfq4bkhoitqj4znvi3xnaazomcyog4xd3uoq)

EHRC Code of Practice comes into effect today so remember to be an absolute pain in the arse to any service provider who is trying to actively enforce it.
Atheists don’t have equality in this country. Humanists in England still can’t have a marriage that aligns with their ethos and its 2026.
Humanists UK@humanists.uk · 3d agoRather than allowing humanists to contribute to Radio 4's Thought for the Day, the BBC's current format requires all speakers to frame political and current affairs commentary through a religious or scriptural lens. Yet half of the UK is non-religious so why not let us speak?
Every so often that polite mask slips, offering more context for the "confusing" choice of defenses for the indefensible.
Ben Goldacre@bengoldacre.bsky.social · 3d agoSad to see people posting on social media negatively about Rod Liddle, who died yesterday. If I have disagreed with you very strongly in life - and you die - I hope I'll be either silent, or kind.
I was wondering why the post below was being reposted yesterday. Now I realise there’s one less pedo racist in the the world.
Citizen X (He/Him) 🏳️🌈@xma1e.bsky.social · 6mo agoRod Liddell, wrote about how he’d rape children if he was a teacher and how silly it was that there were laws preventing him from watching child pornography, yet thinks trans people are a problem!
Not believing warnings from trans people vs reality 👇🏽
Gillian Branstetter@gbbranstetter.bsky.social · 3d agoAn initiative on the ballot in Washington state in November would require all athletes seeking to play girl's sports from kindergarten to high school to undergo "genetic screening, a testosterone-levels test, or an examination of their reproductive anatomy" before they can play

Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan@london.gov.uk · 3d agoThe evidence is clear: neighbourhood crime is falling across London. There have been 35,000 fewer offences in the last year thanks to record investment in the Met, more officers on our streets and targeted action to tackle robbery, burglary and vehicle crime.
RefUK, RW media, & Eurofash are plainly trying to whip up a panic about this. Any serious report must begin by explaining that Ceuta is in Africa - not mainland Spain - and 48k+ of the 50k crossers were already returned. It is frightening how many still don't know this. Please share on all socials.
Fewer people are sleeping rough on London’s streets. That’s welcome progress a year on from launching my Rough Sleeping Action Plan. There’s still a way to go, but I’ll do everything in my power to keep London on a path to ending rough sleeping by 2030.
I've now completed profiles of all Conversion Therapy and Gender Critical groups listed in Amnesty International UK's anti-rights report. What struck me is how few people are involved in each of these astroTERF entities, many of which are just a few people. www.transgendermap.com/issues/group...

So standard tickets for tomorrow's Pride in the Park at #BrightonPride is £81.66 (if you can actually get onto their website). Pride in the Park used to be the highlight of my year until they started to turn it into a pop concert rather than a community day out.

Amnesty International have capitulated to the bullies and billionaires. If you support them financially, then please consider supporting alternative organisations.

I’ve always said that drivers should retest every 5 years. After over 10 years passing my car test, studying for my motorcycle test was an eye opener. It’s so easy to forget what you learned over a period of time, and many drivers would benefit from resitting their test again.
David Ho@davidho.bsky.social · last wk.I biked and drove yesterday, and I’m more convinced than ever that driver’s licenses should be renewed annually with a driving test.
So easily bought! Wes Streeting has taken £370k in private healthcare donations, clearly in return for influence. But he's already on over £170k a year as a cabinet minister. To abandon your principles that fully surely you'd want millions? WELP, guess he didn't have principles to begin with.

Today I went to my first ever #TransPride March in London. I went with the #Humanists. It was a great atmosphere with an estimated 100,000 strong crowd showing overwhelming support for trans people.

I've said it before: ignore the haters. Met data shows there were 35,000 fewer neighbourhood crimes last year than the year before. While some spread myths online, the Met is cutting crime and making our streets safer for everyone, with record funding from City Hall.

Just a reminder that it costs you NOTHING to check your side mirrors before you open your car door - it could save a life. Same with checking your side mirrors before turning right. Same with not flooring it thru yellow lights. Cyclists find motorcycles riders deserve to make it home alive.
