So now we have a confession that that the so-called ‘investigation’ into the Tavistock was nothing more than a way to get it shut down.
Trans kids have died since then, because they can no longer get the healthcare they need.

Good job we don’t have a Labour Prime Minister who said that migration has caused “incalculable” damage, that we’re an “Island of Strangers”, & who was silent for weeks when the far-right were on the streets. But at least being photographed with the Union Flag has helped quieten the far-right 🙄
Don’t give these people benefit of the doubt. This racist rant isn’t an accident. Or ‘speaking out of turn’.
It’s designed to fill our airwaves with people debating ‘if’ non white skin is a problem. Not Reform.
Diversity isn’t the issue, hatred is. Don’t indulge it, vote for it or tolerate it.

Been back on the life-unaffirming hellscape of LinkedIn as my work is planning some redundancies, so I need to start looking now in case I'm dashed out... First thing I see is some prick on there wanging on about a '100k pension pot'. Mate, I'm barely gonna have a pot to piss in at this rate 😂

I'm gonna try and peg it up some stairs next Saturday for the RNLI, and I'm tantalisingly close to my fundraising target, so if anyone's got a couple of quid they can spare and fancy chucking my way, I'd be most obliged. Thanks!
