I’m seeing the argument that Mandelson’s corruption is evidence that MPs should be paid more. Because giving the greedy more, just like allowing fascists a little more racism, is a sure-fire way to stop them. Fucking idiots.

also like - If I was an association of architects I'd kind of want the person to representing me to not be _quite_ so ignorant about things like the Line and Beaufort's Dyke
Choosing to believe that Chris Williamson lost some kind of bet which is why he has been forced to propose this:
Chris Williamson proposes Neom-informed Loop to connect northern British cities
Chris Williamson has proposed linking nine northern British cities with The Loop – a raised high-speed railway informed by Neom's megacity The Line.

you wouldn't think that it was necessary but it is clear that there needs to be more general education about Beaufort's Dyke amongst people who propose building stuff in the UK

The misogyny exists in the abuser, not the 'biology' of the victim, and the know this, they just really don't want a law that works to end misogyny because they bloody love it.

Abuse is protected and promoted by the state because it is useful to the state. Because the people who run the state like doing it. Because the people who run the state protect other people like them.

As always, if you wanna know what the UK government has had its fingers in over the years look no further than Northern Ireland.
I always think of Kincora when people say it's like this 'now' although this is clearly bigger.
The UK govt spent decades actively using child sex abusers & covering up to protect politicians, while shaming victims. They framed a man and sent him to jail for manslaughter for trying to expose it.

We all live in Jeffrey Epstein's world now. That's what we can't face. It's our world. Where sexual desire for children is protected, victims receive no justice & the President of what used to be called the free world is Jeff's friend. This is Jeff's World now.

I'm in my 50s - I knew I was trans (although didn't have language for it) when I was a small child
I'm now transitioning & sorting my head out BUT I have lived a life at odds with myself, I've been deeply unhappy for most of it.
& that didn't snap me out of it
I'm surprised I'm still alive TBH

Intersex people exist. Trans people exist. They are unusual, so trying to apply the usual approximations is as silly as trying to apply Newtonian physics to things moving close to or at light speed. Legislating such things is as insane as legally ruling that Pi=3... as has been done in the past.

This is complex stuff. We don't teach the Theory of General Relativity in grade school, Newtonian physics or at most Special Relativity (far simpler) is enough. Similary, "XX is female, XY is male" is good enough unless you do medicine or biology in college.

"Sure, ICE is bad, but we need to deport illegal immigrants"
No you don't.
If immigration enforcement leads to concentration camps and roving death squads, maybe it's time to just get rid of the concept of illegal immigration entirely. You've tried it, it's a bad idea in practice, so bin it.

From the description I thought this was about Woodcock
One thing is clear. The whole of our current political system is corrupt as fuck.
All needs to go

A Labour MP who led a shady as fuck all-channels PR campaign against his own party, urging the public to vote Tory, and was rewarded for it by Boris Johnson with a peerage: a bullshit non-job for life. And this is the first time in six years I’ve seen anyone half-notable raise this as a bad thing.

I can’t help but wonder who has replaced him in that particular role. Seems like an important absence to fill.
(Jared Kushner comes to mind as a possibility, but I’m just speculating based on his similar network of connections and travel pattern.)

3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia.
4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares.
5. His base agrees with him.
6. He will do it again.
7. No one in power will hold him accountable.
