When all beliefs are protected then no beliefs are protected. How does deliberately insulting all Muslims count as a belief when BEING A MUSLIM is a protected characteristic? These two things cannot both be true at once...
This is how transphobia's right wing fuckery blew open basic respect in the UK, there is absolutely no reason to expect now that being "women critical" is not also a protected belief, if you truly do not believe that women should just be reproductive slaves for cis men.
This will be used to abuse.
This will be used to abuse.

Tourist tax to take our buses back
We believe in the collective power of tenants to come together to fight for their rights, and use diverse tactics – including direct action when necessary – to achieve this.

The @betterbusesspt.bsky.social petition to the Scottish Parliament was closed yesterday. It's so frustrating. There was a lack of acknowledgement of our evidence or the number of signatures. Transport is one of the 3 major household expenditures, including food and housing.

Travelling from Amsterdam to Paris today on the Eurostar. Spent a lot of time cycling around and using the trams in Amsterdam which was fantastic. Everyone is so relaxed here including the car drivers, never heard an angry toot or any windshield remonstrance.
