I live in Wales and today received my Join Us letter from Reform UK, complete with SAE which I posted back to them, immediately, empty. If every other person in Wales did this, Reform would spend over £1.5 million on postage. Not sorry. Join me Cymru.

"Women are 51% of the population but 60% of the poor and 83% of single parents doing 66% of the work producing 50% of the food but earn just 11% of the pay and own only 20% of the land

Think that is probably why Labour are getting such a hard time on the media. Labour are a threat to their wealth, slowly but surely change is coming, it isn't being reported but anything that shows Labour in a bad light is (and amplified).

Fireworks terrify animals — from pets running away to wildlife in panic.
Every year, lives are lost and chaos follows, all for a few minutes of noise and colour.
It’s time to limit fireworks to licensed public events or switch to silent shows. Compassion isn’t anti-fun — it’s common sense.

Re the Andrew previously known as Prince...
I've no sympathy for him at all, only the victims, but it's so hard to accept many Americans calling for more, when they've their own version of Andrew installed as President.
Sure, he should face justice, but so should that orange turd in the White House.

The Times reports JK Rowling criticised Glamour magazine for naming 9 males with trans identities among its “Women of the Year”.
Jo said it sent a message to girls that men are better at being women than them.
No, the message is that it's good to aspire to be glamorous.
The men are autogynephiliacs.

This is beyond grotesque. Another young journalism who treats the lives of minorities as a game. I know plenty of people who still hang out with this guy – I can't respect that as a decision when he's publicly gloating about further stigmatising disabled people.
