  2. @user-fu6pk8ky5i  but what is gender? Would you treat a super-butch but 100% biologically female human the same way as a super-femme female? Presentation matters, does it not? Can't people try and change their presentation to better fit their self image?

  3. ​@DavidWhiteOfFleet if your house has a leak, you call a plumber. If your computer has issues, you want an IT expert When it's something that's a medical issue, you want a doctor around. Surely something as important as your life deserves access to expert supervision?

  4. We evaluate Brexit against an easy win because an easy win is what Vote Leave promised - "we hold all the cards" and all that!

  5. and many who transition and stay transitioned deeply wish they didn't have to go through their other puberty Feels like no surgury til you're an adult, but drugs with medical supervision is the right balance

  6.  @mrnice7570  I can definitely agree that if you don't gold your representstives accountable, they will behave unaccountably

  8. Wait, what? In what world could you describe a big corporation as "the left"?

  9. Blair believed in and endorsed the private sector, while Boris promised public sector investment He failed to deliver, but in their manifestos, Boris was left of Blair

  10. Maybe marches aren't the most effective way to get political change - but I don't have a spare million to "donate" to politicians, so marches it is!

  11. ​ @robertjohn6354 that's a pretty low bar to climb over!

  12.  @DoggleBird  get arrested. From all backgrounds

  13. I suspect they're willing to sink a loss to push their message, but I am glad their propaganda effort is proving to be more expensive than they hoped!

  14. Oddly enough, military interventions by the UK caused many of the refugees. More intervention will just create more refugees, surely?

  15. I'd say that's an if, not a when Appropriately, this in a large part due to the complications of the Northern Ireland situation. Other CPTPP members are wisely cautious of getting tied up in that!

  16. What they are doing is capitalism. Some of the saturday morning cartoon villain nonsense that people throw at them is complete conspiracy theorist loopiness

  17. I point the finger at the state of journalism. We have newspapers that can spend the best part of a fortnight putting curry and beer on the front page, but is incapable of intelligent analysis of economics
    2
  18. Unless you're publishing a scientific paper containing nothing but confirmed, repeatable, measurable results, everything is at least a little bit propaganda But GBNews is pretty blatant about their agenda, let's be honest

  19. It is civilised and correct to restrict extreme methods of protest It is deeply wrong to restrict topics of protest They are doing far too much of the latter, while wearing the mask of the former 🙁

  20. If there's a budget rebellion, I think they're skipping the internal contest and going straight to the general election

  21. Start treating Eton as a problem, not a positive

  22. Police want to catch criminal. It's a horrific situation for the victims, but not something with much depth for discussion

  23. Wes Streeting is panicking - there's a real chance he'll lose his seat as a result of this campaign!
    2
  24. Nope, will of the people says that he's staying - unless you hate democracy?

  25. ​ @stephfoxwell4620 which of Marx's ideas do you disagree with?

  26. I worry about similar patterns here in the UK, especially debt and loss of productive industry...
    2
  27. Yeah, when did everyone turn into such snowflakes?

  28. You want a video on the First Minister moving into the official residence of the First Minister? What's the big story there?

  29. But I suspect he's a regular visitor to the hideout of the Tufton St Gang!

  30. Young people get to choose whose experience to listen to. After being shafted by Brexiteers, why would they listen to them?
    2
  31. @davidjupp961  even if they don't win, merely being in the running with rhetoric like this is deeply disturbing
    2
  32. He certainly looked after one particular bank account. He seems to have got bored and given up on championing anyone else's though

  33. From what little I have seen so far, she's going to be yet another Tory perma-victim, with a thousand excuses for why nothing works, and zero solutions to offer
    2
  34. Yep. If you want to find people who put their ideology over common sense problem solving, you should look at the current givernment!

  35. ​@stewie7338 for decades the promise was made - don't tax the rich and they will invest the money better than the government That was clearly nonsense, so we should tax them like we used to, and spend the money on infrastructure and services ourselves!
    2
  36.  @stewie7338  it isn't what the EU wanted, as many of the nations who spend more are EU nations. This is Westminster policy decisions

  37. She is definitely telling us who she is, and we should listen!

  38. The cost of maintaining a backup is typically much less than the cost of not having one when the primary fails It's short sighted false economy

  39. ​ @TrevorHerbert-dj1jl  how can we believe in law and order, when the Tories make it clear they don't think it applies to them?
    1
  40. @TrevorHerbert-dj1jl  yeah, we should believe in the concept of law and order, but we shouldn't believe it currently exists!

  41. That, and she's a distraction. While we're talking about her latest outrageous statement we're not looking at what the rest of the cabinet are doing (or not doing)

  42. ​ @Hannah-xx8ix Nigel himself says he's been offered a peerage twice. I've not heard anyone talk about a government position though
    1
  43.  @untitled4542  it's in the public domain, and nobody from the Conservative party is disputing it. If it was a problem, the Tories wouldn't be quiet about it!

  44. Thatcher is to the left of this lot 😳

  45. ​ @thegrandmuftiofwakanda let's imagine you're a Tory donor, and you own a hotel that's struggling to attract guests Your chums in government just offered you a literal captive audience! Money problems solved, from a heartless Tory perspective...

  46. ​ @davidhibble3020 you think an equal-opportunities capitalist like Zuckerberg (aka "I'll take your money whatever your creed or colour") is left wing? That's rather sad 🙁

  47. Isn't NATO expanding because countries feel they need protection from Putin?

  48. Do pre-nazi things, get compared to the pre-nazi government... 🤔

  49. Look at you, moaning about the weather! And they say people don't integrate into UK culture 😁

  50. ​ @michael-vl1mn by embedding corporate authoritarianism into their very structure, at least Reform are consistent between internal structure and manifesto!
