I once had a flight where the "recline" was contained within the shell of the seat, and it was in fact your butt which slid forward.

AK Faulkner @ NYCC @poopraven.bsky.social · 14h

My flights hot take is that seats in economy should not recline into the space of the seat behind them.

A thousand years of misfortune for the business class wanker who felt it absolutely necessary to overtake the disabled people on the jetway only to be in our way once we were on the plane.

The fact that there is no priority seating for disabled people at this airport gate is going to make for a fun time when I have to stumble over the maze of bags and feet.

Thousands of Londoners have indefinite leave to remain.

They have legal rights and are our friends, neighbours and colleagues, contributing hugely to our city.

Threatening to deport people living and working here legally is unacceptable.

Farage vows to scrap indefinite leave to remain, placing thousands at risk of deportation

Even back in the 70s and 80s when I could be hassled by the police for walking while trans, no one ever tried to stop me pissing in the Ladies or tried to make me change into my swimsuit among men.

There is no dignity or respect involved in taking away rights I have exercised freely for forty years
