I've seen the latest disingenuous press release from the EHRC, and whilst GANHRI may not have requested a special review this time around, the SCA has decided to continue to monitor the situation.

The fact that these submissions have had to be made is testimony to how far the EHRC has fallen. It is no longer fit for purpose!!
We have formally reported the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) to the Global Alliance of National Human Rights Institutions (GANHRI), calling for a full investigation and a downgrade or removal of their A-status accreditation.

Supermarkets in the UK tend to have a policy of not accepting returns of food due to the contamination/tampering risk. So I would have called the supermarket, and they would have likely said to keep it anyway.

The law says you should try to return them. But be honest – wouldn’t you be tempted to keep them?

I'm starting to think both Starmer and McSweeney are both on the Farage payroll. Why else would they want to alienate every one of their voter demographic.

This kind of rhetoric is nothing but tosh. They can't just rip up sections of the ECHR they don't want. Likewise, they can't pull out of the ECtHR without breaking multiple agreements. Its nonsense talk to appeal to the racists
"Another party insider said “nothing is off the table” for Mahmood. They said she was likely to want to reform the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) and would be far more radical than her predecessor. The source added she would “start with the unthinkable and work backwards”."

Anti trans groups and anti abortion groups are funded by the same evangelical Republican groups.
The alt right, anti LGBT, anti abortion, anti vax, conspiracy Venn diagram is glaringly obvious once you look at who’s funding it.
It’s never been about women’s rights, just the far right.
