So Dr Upton altered notes to incriminate Sandie Peggie. WTAF

JR tries to slur him, and Judge intervenes.

The rot that led to the Sandie Peggie case goes right to the top
NHS Fife’s harassment of a nurse who complained about a trans-woman using female changing rooms is a symptom of a wider problem

Humanists talk about 'Dignity in Dying' signalling that their greatest concern is not unmanageable pain but a loss of autonomy. Christians, by contrast, see nothing humiliating or degrading about relying on the love and care of others at the end of life as we did at its beginning.

How can we possibly pretend the AD bill will be safe while simultaneously accepting there aren’t enough palliative care doctors to assess each patient considering it (Kim Leadbeater’s committee, incredibly, rejected this amendment)?

There are only two sexes ... An individual human is either female or male based on whether the person is of the sex characterized by a reproductive system with the biological function of producing eggs (ova) or sperm.
