Exactly this! I was on a waiting list for YEARS! Got a letter one day post-marked ’Adult Mental Health‘ something or other so was excited my day had finally come! Not so. Informed they were just…not diagnosing adults anymore! How is this even an option that’s allowed!

Historically speaking, the problem of the overwhelming power of royalty and aristocracy has been resolved by the wealthy agreeing to reduced influence. The alternative to that has traditionally been them accepting reduced stature, in the sense they are personally made about seven inches shorter.

Far-right agitators stand accused of stirring up trouble at asylum hotel protests. But anti-racists are standing firm.
Following a sharp rise in far right activity, we’ve spent the last three months attending protests, speaking to activists under threat, and tracking anti-asylum seeker demonstrations across Scotland.

I personally set up a recurring donation to LGBTYS in an earlier round of nastiness in Scotland, and if you value the "controversial" work of supporting queer young people in a society where MSPs don't want them to be, you can donate here: www.justgiving.com/charity/lgbt...

This is the kicker - the "Puberty blockers study under investigation" headline which kicked off reams of coverage elsewhere was entirely concocted, because it was the *journalists themselves* who forced the investigation to happen. The investigation found nothing wrong, but by then it was too late.
The ultimate twist is that 'gender critical' activist-journalists, Deborah Cohen and Hannah Barnes, reported the study to the HRA themselves!
The HRA was required to open an investigation because they’d received a report... which gave the Newsnight duo the shocking headline they desired.
