If you want to dress well this fall, imagine yourself as Big Jim Collie, a Scottish crofter in the 1970s who lived alone in a bothy and rode a rickety old bicycle through the Lairig Ghru, the highest mountain pass in the highest mountain range in Britain, while sustaining himself on a bit of dram.

Sky News says police are "overwhelmed by the numbers". Met coped perfectly well with 2x as many at the pro-Gaza rally, 5x as many at the anti-Brexit march, and 15x as many at London Pride.
They're not overwhelmed by the numbers. They're overwhelmed by the ratio of violent thugs in those numbers.

Being bisexual means that it’s *every* friend I mention to my mother getting the ‘and are you… a thing 👀’ question, but I respect the equal opportunities nosiness

In a cab and the requisite LBC is on (Natasha Devon’s show) and there’s been a run of geezers phoning in with intelligent comments about Trump, Gaza, asylum seekers?? Quite refreshing?

What Kevin said. And it's never been about protecting women: it's about policing women.
And if a predator wants to get access, which is easier? Pretending to be trans or grabbing a mop and throwing on a high-viz and walking straight in? Utterly ridiculous

Anyone who belongs to any minority group needs to be aware that what is being done to trans people can and will be done to them. In a decade we have been stripped of our rights to exist in public spaces by a press campaign and a well funded lobby.
