Fraud is a serious crime that merits laying siege to an entire city and collectively punishing every immigrant from Somalia.
It's also a crime for which you can be pardoned and relieved of compensating your victims, so long as some of the money you stole finds its way to the president.

Her report about my employer now increasingly looks like a covert first strike in this "war" for her. Odd that she was hired to undertake the role as a neutral, fair judge of the issues, but now is fully acknowledging her (always apparent) partisanship.
The BEST news about this article is that ‘gender critical’ transphobe Akua Reindorf is no longer on the board of the EHRC! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
👉🏻 archive.ph/Ry6Fr
Also worth noting she (finally) admits “it was “immediately clear” that she had been appointed to overhaul the regulator’s approach to sex and gender” 😳

I find this sickening, tbh. The claim that simply being in the presence of a trans woman creates a “a hostile, humiliating and degrading environment” for cis women could not be more transphobic* if it tried.

'Listen to women' NHS nurses say, after tribunal rules sharing changing room with trans woman 'violated dignity'
However, the tribunal dismissed several other claims, finding that the trans woman had not harassed or victimised the nurses.

I hate to burst everyone's bubble but if you think that CBS News losing ratings or prestige matters to David Ellison, you're mistaken. Murdoch ran the NY Post for 45 years without turning a profit. They want these media companies to pump propaganda, not to get ratings or make money.

The Times simply lies. And lies. And lies again.
With characteristic intellectual dishonesty, The Times, and Geraldine Scott, having come to us for quote have deliberately omitted most of what we said in response. Compare and contrast. 2/2
!["In our legal system the working out in subsequent cases of the consequences of a final court of appeal decision is entirely routine. It is extraordinary that a KC should seek to delegitimise that process. The inconvenient truth is that both Ms Reindorf and The Times chose to ignore what the Supreme Court actually said, and I quote from paragraph 248, 'this interpretation [does] not have the effect of disadvantaging or removing important protection under the EA 2010 from trans people'."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:xurjtu2wa2akyi64gab34ahg/bafkreigieffwg3q3anocydvsneiv2wfbwhr4m3zskjo4l7e72ovxhpouem@jpeg)

I've yet to encounter a KC - other than those with an axe to grind - who thinks For (Some) Women Scotland was correctly decided. Its only clear legacy will be decades of uncertainty and destructive litigation.
The fact it's currently 2-1 (Peggie and Kelly - Darlington) in the Employment Tribunals demonstrates pretty clearly that whatever else the Supreme Court delivered it did not deliver clarity.
(More to follow when we can find a copy of the judgment.)

Still not seen the full judgment, but notably the ET dismissed the harassment claim against Rose Henderson, the trans woman in the Darlington Nurses case.
Yet another trans woman who has been publicly demonised after doing nothing wrong.

If anyone was still pretending this isn’t just about excluding trans kids from public life, the Trump administration just opened a Title IX investigation into a Maine school district because a trans student is on a *co-ed* cheerleading squad.
