Keir Starmer did everything he could to be US poodle and his strategy has ended in total humiliation. Both him and Farage are puppets of a hostile foreign nation.
It's obvious that if someone is a bully - you don't just keep appeasing them.
Disastrous strategy by Labour.

Spending time & money trying to find a “cause” or “cure” for autism is not just a waste of resources—it is actively harmful. It makes up a large amount of the research that has been done historically. It still makes up most of the budget for autism research now.

Last night I met a guy who said everyone in his office uses ChatGPT "because you just type in two lines and it generates a whole email for you!"
And I *very correctly* replied that "no one wants that 'whole email' they just want the two lines - and they all hate you"

which is why terfs exist in a roundabout way - they identified the rage of women and decided, instead of pushing it towards actual social change, they'd put it on a false enemy. it's almost like terfs are inherently in bed with fascists. who know!
