Lives (and sometimes feels) at Wits' End and thought hard about where to put the apostrophe. How sad is that? Loves nature, growing, cooking, reading and collecting Whitby Jet on the beach.

'Peggie’s discomfort was met with the repeated assertion that Upton had a right to use the female-only changing room. This is not legally accurate ... self-identification is not a proper basis for access to single-sex facilities or services.'

Homophobic trans activists. This behaviour seems to be on the increase but their supporters are silent...including the likes of @theguardian.com
A group of gay men had booked a venue in Brighton to meet for a chat. A group of TRAs harassed the venue who cancelled the booking. This is against the law and I hope my friend sues the pub. I try to see both sides but after today's event, I find it impossible to even consider these fuckers. F them!

This platform is so entertaining that I have to conclude its adherents are even more bonkers than those on the other place. Factual posts are labelled "intolerance" whilst verbal abuse/insults are apparently fine. It's going to be intolerant to say that the world is round at this rate...

A regulator that seems to exist simply to allow water companies to inflate their charges whilst allowing them to continue to break the law by polluting. Meanwhile customers and the environment suffer. Disgusting.

Why do we put up with water companies that break the law and pollute the environment, then pay their managers and investors huge amounts, courtesy of us, the bill-payers? Because we've got no choice in a monopoly system and regulators don't do their jobs! Disgusting.

It rained heavily last night and so I woke up to find my river had turned dark grey/almost black with a sheen of oil stretching along its entire surface.
Road run off really looks like the next sewage scandal in the making. We are allowing a cocktail of damaging chemicals to wash into our rivers.
