This all has the vibe of when gay people hyped-up that one Normani single and begged her to make an album and then she finally released it years later and not a single solitary twink streamed it.
I’m in Westminster where Nigel Farage is about to unveil his ‘shadow cabinet’ and the decor is slightly bonkers. Looks like he’s going to launch a Simon Cowell-era boyband instead.

We need to retire this kind of vox pop journalism that purports to accurately depict the public mood. Animal entrails punditry.

I had so many conversations with people fed up with all the chaos, deceit and U-turns. Politics must respond to this disenchantment, says Guardian columnist Owen Jones

This is getting silly.
OTOH, if you suggest the journo used AI to write an article, that's an accusation of gross misconduct.
It's similar to (but not as bad as) accusing a surgeon of drinking before operations, or a professional driver of playing Candy Crush on the motorway. It's defamation. 2/x

Tragic and more than a little pathetic that he comes from one of the great multicultural democracies - a country that fought tooth and nail to become one at the exact time he was coming of age - yet he mocks the very concept.
"American culture, with its English-Scotts-Irish origin, is great and worth fighting for."

Every single person involved in this hate campaign and everyone who has supported them - Anas Sarwar, for example - needs to be run out of public life the way they've run Dr Upton out the NHS. Being trans isn't a risk factor for people around you; this obsessive hate absolutely is.
Susan Smith of For Women Scotland is quoted in this piece saying that Dr Upton leaving the NHS will be "a relief to female patients."
The employment tribunal found that Upton had done nothing wrong! She was completely innocent of any kind of harassment!
