Obviously this is fucking racist, but it's also clearly wrong - the British people are represented by whoever they choose to vote for, regardless of what some GB News fuckwit thinks of their choices.

I think it's a mistake to assume the government haven't legislated on the Supreme Court's interpretation of the Equality Act because they're 'cowardly' or similar. The issue is more that the government are opposed to 'giving liberals and 'ethical socialists' what they want'.

if you genuinely want to argue that the Equality Act, when introduced, intended to make unlawful an approach to trans inclusion that has existed *since the 1970s*, I absolutely cannot take you seriously

Asking for 'government involvement to help solve the issue' might be a real monkey's paw
Difficult to grasp how the crisis of UK universites - largely caused by bad policy and bad management - is not treated as a massive national problem that requires government involvement to help solve the issue. Product of a discourse in which parties don‘t want to be seen as appealing to graduates?
Grim news and vacuous messaging from Essex: 200 academic posts (in unspecified subjects) to go this year & 200 professional staff posts in the next 2 years. Closure of Southend campus will be a blow regionally as well. The vision and ambition that saw Essex et al established is sorely needed now.

This seems just obviously right to me tbh
I would argue pretty strenuously that overreliance on nonprofits for social services is, in fact, a centrist position at best. NGO world cloaks itself in progressivism by adhering to cultural signifiers of social justice. Endless land acknowledgements as they take public jobs from union workers.

One of the clearest examples of Wilhoit's Law you'll ever see here:
Trump DOJ official Harmeet Dhillon describes the crackdown on schools & speech in response to alleged antisemitism.
Minutes later, asked about Nick Fuentes, she says: “the antidote to speech that you don't like is more speech. It isn't shutting down speech.”

An initially-confusing American thing is when they say that 'such-and-such is a city in [another city's] suburbs'.
So it's a city near a city? Or it's a suburb with pretensions?

GOP Mayor Kurt Wilson conceded earlier tonight to Mary Robichaux, the Dem challenging him.

How to build a modern functional growing economy:
1) Depend on votes of pensioners from peripheral transfer dependent regions
2) Endlessly piss off people who live in your largest urban centres and attack their industries
3) Get rid of all the foreigners

Elon Musk’s charitable foundation grew larger than ever in 2024. But, for the fourth year in a row, the huge charity failed to give away the minimum amount required by law — and the donations it did make went largely to charities closely tied to Musk himself, who is the world's richest man.
