My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’

Polling basics is you don’t let your cohort self select like this. More appalling bullshit journalism laundering government bullshit form the BBC
Interesting thing to take away here.
BBC asked 5000 doctors to take part in a survey about overdiagnosis of mental health conditions. Only 15% of them responded.
And what do you think the belief will be of that 15% who specifically wanted to respond to a study into overdiagnosis? 🤔

When he says "better evidence" he means "evidence that suits my prejudices". We already have good recent evidence from a major NHS review, which he ignores

Like MAGA, transphobes have gotten everything they wanted in 2025. And, like MAGA, they've never been more vitriolic toward the institutions they've captured, more disgusted by their wounded victims, more ready to plough forth into realms of cruelty that even they would have balked at a year ago.

Cruelty is anhedonic. It rarely delivers the euphoria promised because, in the abstract, what feels righteous and joyful inevitably reveals itself to be sordid and small. Then it's "No not like that". "No not enough". "No the real battle, the forever war to make this feel good starts now". Forever.
Note how these awful people are getting exactly the exclusions of children that they demanded and *that still isn’t enough for them*: they demand everyone be delighted about it and kiss their arses for being brilliant.

It is essential to remember that Sensible centrists got everything they wanted in the UK.
The left smashed, their Competent Sensible politicians won by a landslide last year and have a huge majority and the policies they dreamed of implemented.
And the result is endless horror.

Girl guides bowing to pressure to exclude some girls because of fears about the safety of members & the peace of mind of their parents is not new. It happened in 1930s South Africa & today in 2025 Great Britain. #ForAllGirls
I learned today that Girl Guides in South Africa was a movement of White Imperialism, & the last Scouting institution to refuse admission of 'non western girls' until growing international pressure finally allowed Black & Indian girls from 1936 -though continued to force segregation of non whites /

This is a heartbreaking and dehumanising decision. We must keep challenging the erasure of trans people from public life.

Every year since 1988, the United States has recognized World AIDS Day — until now.
Why not? Maybe because the Trump administration doesn’t want to acknowledge that its foreign aid cuts led to nearly 150,000 deaths from AIDS, according to Boston University researchers.
Shameful.

if it seems a bit strange to you that an ostensibly ‘feminist’ organisation should be campaigning against free period products, I’d invite you to consider where said organisation is getting its funding and whose views it’s set up to promote
I guess when you're rich you can't comprehend people having no money, much feminism from Maya as usual. They are willing to see organisations that actually help people shut down if they don't follow their weird little ideology, but yeah, she's a "women's rights campaigner"

So it's policy.
