TANK vs TESLA "We've crushed fascism before and we'll crush it again" - ⁠WW2 veteran Ken, 98, in the tank

Did I ever post up the letter I got from Kemi Badenoch in 2020? The one where she says the Tory government had no interest in curtailing the use of gendered spaces by transgender people? I think I did not.

Lee is 100% right here. The forthcoming Self ID debate will genuinely only make our lives worse.

Am wondering what the ramifications might be further to the ECtHR case outcome? Failure might result in some countries adopting the UK SC judgement, success requiring alterations to their legislation to strengthen rights for trans people? Leaving the UK may find the judgement follows one.
