It's tuly embarrassing to watch lawmakers act like they are powerless as to the implementation of the law.
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’.

It's NOT the 99% vs the 1%. That 1% includes doctors, writers, engineers, all manner of workers
The 1% refers to wealth, not income - at 1% you're at around £3.1m. That level of wealth - while indicative of a well off person - isn't utterly obscene.

I think it's actually more insidious than this. Religion routinely teaches people there's meaning and holiness in community and connection with the rest of humanity, but simulation theory teaches that only a sacred few are smart enough to notice they're players in a computer game full of NPCs.
"We live in a simulation" is honestly just religion for people who think they're too clever to be religious. It's looking for meaning and order in the chaos of existence.
