I don't know what I'm talking about.
If you find me, I may well be ranting about software development, sports-ball (ITFC, cricket, cycling, "Go Bears!" etc). I'm probably harmless but you might want to walk away slowly backwards just in case.

An important point to come out of the Sandie Peggie case is that 'gender critical' employees can't take matters into their own hands and confront trans employees. If they do that it is likely to be harassment/ bullying/ a hate incident.

The oldest curry recipe published in the UK dates from 1747. The first fish and chip shops opened in about 1860. Why is the latter British food but the former isn’t?

This, this, this. If journalists don’t scrutinize this and explain it properly now then they have failed on their duty and will bear a share of the blame if such policies are enacted (most of the public oppose them and don’t I think realise what is being proposed yet).
Apropos of nothing, I really do think UK journalists and politicians need some reminding that mass deportation of LEGAL immigrants, particularly those with permanent status, is far more extreme than even Trump's America and would basically place Britain completely on its own among democracies.

David is slightly unfair. There is a clear difference here.
Conservatives and Reform plan to forcibly expel large numbers of people who are legal, permanent residents of migrant origin. The BNP proposal is voluntary.

Saving lives, saving you money, improving the flow of traffic, there’s no downside to switching to 20mph default limit.
It would be great if we could take a whole country and change the default speed limit to 20mph and then compare it to one left at 30mph. What if it reduced casualties by 25% and with lower risk reduced insurance premiums by £45 a year? Well it did! bit.ly/4gIBPlJ
