Once again it’s amazing that the government intervenes about 1,300 jobs at risk at Lotus cars who sold a piffling 12k cars to rich people last year but is happy to let the Higher Education sector with 400,000 employees die on its arse. Labour intervene when MANLY jobs are at risk you see

My husband has taught human reproduction and development to the Cambridge medics for over three decades. When people start banging on about "only two biological sexes" he starts with "which sex: genetic, hormonal, or gonadal"?

CEO getting shot - political violence. Your agonising death due to healthcare being refused, or being blown to pieces in a plane crash due to cost cutting in training pilots, or drowning in a flood due to climate change due to big oil lobbying - adding shareholder value!!!
