When your Country is going to shit, you need a good War, to let stupid people focus on the fact there's no Football on. War 'news' is easier to manipulate, as you can use the 'Top Secret' Card, to hide the truth.

From the very same paragraph in Orwell's essay: "England has got to be true to herself. She is not being true to herself while the refugees who have sought our shores are penned up in concentration camps, and company directors work out subtle schemes to dodge their Excess Profits Tax."

More entertainment. Jon Pike of the OU, not at Westminster last week, is on Twitter suggesting my saying the ‘challenge’ to me in Portcullis House last week was an ‘attack’ is ‘thoroughly and knowingly dishonest’. Well, the loud shouting was disgusting and frightening. So I’ll stick with my word.

Holy crap it's being led by Meg Hillier Hillier did once raise concerns about the planned cuts in Parliament - specifically about raising the minimum qualifying age for the UC health payment to 2022 - but I didn't really expect her to rebel, let alone lead it www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

So, does “biological sex” mean: A) hormone levels? (If so, trans women = women) B) chromosomes? (If so, what about intersex people?) C) Genitals? (If so, trans men with bottom surgery = men) One thing that isn’t “biological”, is a birth certificate (that’s “certificated sex”!) 🤷🏼‍♀️

It's also going to create - and perhaps this is its very intention - profound confusion around when it remains legal to oppose Israel's genocide. Demand action on Palestine - are you expressing support for a proscribed group?

Today UK Parliament has updated their website to declare, "Members of the public should use facilities that correspond to their biological sex or the gender-neutral toilets." On Wednesday there is a mass lobby at Westminster for Trans+ Rights. The timing is no coincidence.

The illegal ban on trans people using the correct toilets in parliament imposed just two days before our mass lobby of MPs is basically Starmer saying to trans people; “You have fewer democratic democratic rights than cis people. We don’t want MPs to listen to you as constituents and voters.”… 1/4

When did the Parliamentary Estate decide to Institute a Trans Toilet ban? Is it not something of a provocation to do so says before a mass trans lobby of Parliament? I note that the organisers of the lobby have felt obliged to advise compliance.

A valid point! They can’t claim there was no time to consult the Congressional Gang of Eight and share key intelligence with them, as required before committing the nation to war.

I ask again. What is the status of the new rules about the toilets in Parliament?

When your starting question is “How do we allow young trans people to flourish?” instead of “How do we stop young people being trans?,” you can see why medical transition is vital. The evidence has been, and continues to be, clear: gender affirming health care saves lives.

JFC. We’re doing this again. The paranoiac myth of the “sleeper cell” to ramp up the nation’s militarism, xenophobia, and firearm infatuation.

Uk government wants to proscribe Palestine Action who have not actively harmed people. Yet they will not consider prescribing For Women Scotland. For Women Scotland are spending thousands of pounds to make living as a trans person in the UK impossible. This actively harms trans folk.

The real worry here is that GCs will set up sites full of images of actual or supposed trans people and that violent vigilantes will use this as a hit list irrespective of whether people are actually trans or were photographed anywhere near a toilet.

Look, I know none of us want to give in to the bigotry, and im not suggesting that we just cave in, but we have to find workarounds to the difficulties we are gunna face whilst this is all going on and we are waiting for legal challenges to go thru. Visit: www.essehouse.co.uk/pip-program

“The specific rights that are named as too dangerous differ slightly, but the ones most commonly named just so happen to be the rights most viciously attacked by the extreme right. They are women’s sports, transgender children, and medical transition for prisoners.”

I’m always banging on about this. In any other area of medicine (except maybe access to abortion, especially in the USA currently ) the level of evidence would be sufficient to keep using the treatment, it would never have led to a ban. But trans people. We don’t like you so you can’t have it.

Pretty much. Im just wondering how long Starmer, a moral vacuum in human form, is going to take before dragging the UK into this latest atrocity, especially in light of his recent militaristic rhetoric.

Nothing is ever enough. Palestine gave up 78% of its land and it wasn’t enough. Hamas offered to release the hostages and it wasn’t enough. Iran stuck to the nuclear deal and it wasn’t enough. No amount of peace, negotiation, surrender, cooperation has ever satisfied the Western war machine.
