It's sort of interesting to me that for a lot of British journalists, "success" largely means reducing people's access to essential services

NHS Sussex are forcibly detransitioning trans people. These patients need full restoration of their healthcare, and everyone involved in doing this needs to be sacked.
"Laura fears all will be lost if ICB Sussex forces her child off the medication.

If ICB Sussex get their own way in a matter of weeks and they force detransition, Olive may well take her life."

What’s happened here is: these horrible people deliberately fucked over every man, woman and child in these islands, entirely to benefit their own worthless careers. Now, they are going to go down in history as maybe Britain’s most reviled government. And you have to say, they have 100% earned it.

The definition of “woke” is extremely pliable, and today seems to mean “objects to Nazi tattoos”.
Establishment Democrats spent a full year complaining the Left forced them to be “woke.”

But then a left populist, Graham Platner, threatened to win in Maine, so they went right back to trying to cancel someone over old internet posts.

University education empowers and refines people's critical thinking skills. So its natural that reactionary opinion & reactionary power centres despise universities and are highly motivated to turn the public against them. Can't have large numbers of people thinking critically about the status quo!

Explain to me why “conversion therapy” is banned in 28 countries and ABA is not, when they have the same creator (O. Ivar Lovaas) and utilize similar if not identical principles, techniques, and goals (forced assimilation).
Autism $peaks is the largest and most popular Autism organization (among allistics), who continues to be 100% in support of ABA. They have lobbyists who push ABA as the “gold standard Autism treatment.” It utilizes same practices as “conversion therapy,” which is currently banned in 28 countries.
ABA (Applied Behavioral Analysis) is the “gold standard” of “treatment” for Autism, and was created by the person as “Conversion therapy” (see Lovaas) with similar techniques and goals. It’s torture that continues to have widespread support and acceptance.
