Striking numbers which demonstrate, in spades, how tiny is the popular support for the culture of hate that Britain's institutions seem determined to impose on a kind and accepting majority.
(Expect the BBC to ignore it or qualify it to oblivion.)

I can confirm, now that I've done it, that this takes 20-30 minutes. And the Amnesty guidance helpfully points out some cynical traps (and plain bad survey design) that could otherwise see the government misinterpreting your views.
The UK government is proposing radical and punitive changes to settlement rules. This is settlement, not citizenship. The consultation is open until 12 February; please respond to it and oppose these evil proposals. Amnesty have a good guide: www.amnesty.org.uk/resources/gu...

A bit rubbish it is not about how charities could meet their charitable purposes. As a regulator this is either incredibly naïve, self-centred or decided trans people's wellbeing should be ignored by charities and just want another organisation to say it. @charitycommission.blog.gov.uk.web.brid.gy
The Charity Commission has told the government that greater clarity is needed on how charities and other organisations navigate the effects of last year’s Supreme Court ruling that “woman” in the Equality Act 2010 refers to “biological sex”.

Refugee families living outside camps are far more likely to find work, build savings and become self-reliant, new global research shows.
Refugee families are more likely to become self-reliant if provided with support outside of camp settings
With targeted support, refugees are more likely to gain employment, increase their savings and find safety if not housed in camps, study finds.

If a third sex space was what was envisioned by the equality act, us non binary people would have been recognised. We were ignored because binary trans people are accepted as having that binary gender but introducing a third option was a step too far.
