So now we have a confession that that the so-called ‘investigation’ into the Tavistock was nothing more than a way to get it shut down.
Trans kids have died since then, because they can no longer get the healthcare they need.

Good job we don’t have a Labour Prime Minister who said that migration has caused “incalculable” damage, that we’re an “Island of Strangers”, & who was silent for weeks when the far-right were on the streets. But at least being photographed with the Union Flag has helped quieten the far-right 🙄
Don’t give these people benefit of the doubt. This racist rant isn’t an accident. Or ‘speaking out of turn’.
It’s designed to fill our airwaves with people debating ‘if’ non white skin is a problem. Not Reform.
Diversity isn’t the issue, hatred is. Don’t indulge it, vote for it or tolerate it.

Been back on the life-unaffirming hellscape of LinkedIn as my work is planning some redundancies, so I need to start looking now in case I'm dashed out... First thing I see is some prick on there wanging on about a '100k pension pot'. Mate, I'm barely gonna have a pot to piss in at this rate 😂

This is such a good point. I can't afford £100 for a covid booster. I could and would cheerfully pay £15 for one as I do flu. I also don't understand why so many aren't eligible for an NHS booster this year considering it didn't miraculously stop being covid over the summer
This makes me want to break things. If it's such a no-big (it actually is a big that fucking disabled me), and you're equating it to flu (again, not remotely like), then why aren't the prices comparable?

Vile. Recognising a Palestinian State is NOT a convenient get out clause for allowing and enabling a genocide. Also ‘We are a party of government, not a party of protest’ - exactly you fucking ghoul, so you have the ability and responsibility to do something about it
