New post: LABOUR'S SECTION 28 IS HERE - ACT NOW.
I explain how the Labour government's proposed revisions to the guidance on "keeping children in education" are designed to erase trans children in England. But it's not a done deal - there is plenty we can do to oppose this.

Labour’s Section 28 is here – act now
In May 1988, the Conservative government introduced Section 28. This legal measure outlawed support for “homosexuality as a pretended family relationship” across Britain, especially in …

Look, we've already changed the Prime Minister several times and results haven't improved. You've got to look at the board - they just haven't invested.

This week can we please commit to at least having 2-3 days of gloating before being hectored by the "the next one will be even worse" brigade. We know.

It can't be that negatively selected because Matt Yglesias isn't here
The extent to which many Americans think Britain is a devastated and zombie-filled hellscape cannot be overestimated.

There is extremely fertile ground for communism in the local town Facebook groups of Britain. The people in these groups all seem to want a planned economy, and seem to hanker for a grand authority which dictates which shops open in any given town, irrespective of business case.

Jonathan Ross is one of those names, like Benito Mussolini or Leopold II of Belgium, where all of the people named it are the worst sort of cunt

To be clear, this is Graham Linehan appearing to celebrate the murder of a woman.
Graham Linehan claims he detonated his career, his family, his entire life, to protect women. He often asks people to "apologise to their daughters" if they disagree with him on trans rights.
And yet, when someone's daughter is executed by ICE, he shares Right-Wing propaganda that she deserved it.

We have such a ridiculous attitude towards driving. Having a licence is not a right, and it should be denied if you can't be trusted to do it. One thing that always annoys me is that driving is the only discipline where you're treated more leniently if you need to do it for your job.
You might think that a man who drove into 100 people, using his car as a weapon, would NEVER be allowed to drive again.
It turns out he will be able to, around three years after leaving prison by taking an extended retest.
Why should he ever be able to get behind the wheel again?

So I'm basically a car person and I essentially agree with this. There is no excuse for not having low speed limits and enforcement in urban driving. Where I think the frustration is, in the UK at least, is the proliferation of really pointless 30mph limits on what are basically semi-rural roads
My least popular (and most correct) view is that cars should be automatically limited to the local speed limit. Put the pedal to the floor and you still can't go over 25mph in a residential area.

There is no possible justification for limiting e-bikes to 15mph but not cars.

This Times article is the sort of egregious propagandising lies that really needs to carry very serious consequences, but won't. I would however be happy to contribute if the wronged parties here did want to try to ruin some wankers
You might think from the headline that this is a story about a trans kid suffering medical consequences from a large drug dose but nope! It is just an interview with an estranged father who is angry that his child happily transitioned.

I remain fairly convinced that the Labour govt is composed of two types of people who know they're in government and want to do bad stuff, and people who don't even realise they are in government
Fucking state of this. Acting like they are completely powerless to do anything since the SC judgement.
Any new way of including people without amending the Equality Act will just be all-new segregation, now with added ‘dignity and respect’.
