Yes, I know, no motive, no suspect yet.
But seems we just keep playing wait and see while this US administration and it's supporters continue their authoritarian march.

This issue goes beyond immigration. It’s about how many laws this administration is willing to break and how easily that same machinery could be turned against American citizens next.

They are very, very slow to process applications and are totally uncommunicative.

You haven't read anything positing an alternative. That doesn't mean alternatives aren't out there and being posted.

"But the legacy of those brutal years is that, fairly or unfairly, many trans people no longer trust the EHRC to defend their rights"
Nobody in their right mind would say that many trans people unfairly distrust the EHRC. It's absurd.
Why slip that "fairly or unfairly" in there?

Who decides, and how is it decided, those that are "most vulnerable"? We already know the current system is not based on exposition of people's challenges but on ways to deny support.

Idiot politicians "just asking questions" and stoking the flames leads to this.
The UK media is complicit in allowing it to happen by amplifying those same idiot politicians.

Falkner says "We recognise more than anyone else that certain groups may feel anxious about the meaning of such things" - but you just said that you couldn't understand why trans people had become fearful, which is it?

We're long past something being amiss. The biggest thing that is amiss is that Parliament cannot spot what a huge and horrible precedent is being set by the state sponsored persecution of trans people.
Notice how they all carefully steered around mentioning trans kids.

Duffield complaining of a polarised society and she's setting feminists against trans women. ("Gender criticals" are *not* feminists.)
Falkner claimed she worked hard to bring people together and improve relations. She's lying.

Falkner pulling a Starmer and saying judge her on her final results in the fullness of time. Sorry. Both Falkner and Starmer are bigots and have been since they got into power. We already know what they are and what their final destination will be if we don't fight back.

They're keeping the means test. That's significant because it supplants
universalism. They could have paid it through the tax system. Wealthy pensioners would be taxed while benefits would flow to the less well off. Would have avoided the mountain of paperwork to apply. Would also be cheaper.
