Sorry. Not meaning to be offensive, just seems that the problem was caused by the court deciding that the act only referred to biological women and that did not include โ€œallโ€ women.

Diversion takes 30 minutes off London-Cheltenham train journey MP calls for faster services after engineering works speed up one journey from London to Cheltenham.

The โ€œIโ€™m all right routeโ€. Bypass four stations to save me 30 minutes.
How about we start trains at Gloucester to save the rest of the line from having to wait for the entitled.

Rephrase that to "it's not right that people who are not disabled are having to bear all the costs of others that are". Ridiculous!
Education is a public good.

Never underestimate the ability of people to vote against their wider interests because of a narrow concern. Later saying "but that's not what I voted for".

That's a premature question. Ask "should they face an independent investigation".

If speech was absolutely free someone could say go kill someone then argue they were free to say that and only the people trying to commit the murder were guilty of anything.

And why might they be short of staff for customer service? They push to self service because it costs a fraction of what it does to put a person on the line.

And a shadow minister using terms like โ€œscumbagโ€ is just pub car park level language aimed at inflaming things.

A true Christmas story.
I just wish some of the โ€œsend โ€˜em backโ€ and โ€œlock โ€˜em upโ€ mob had a bit more of this kind of Christmas spirit in them.

Michael Sheen spent his own money to write off $1.3 million of neighborsโ€™ debts | CNN Actor Michael Sheen has bought $1.3 million of his neighborsโ€™ debts and written them off using $129,000 of his own money.

The actor Michael Sheen used all his money to start a fake debt collecting business, buy 900 people in Wales's debt, and excused it. If Musk bought ALL $194 billion in medical debt in the U.S. and excused it in the same way, he'd still be the world's riches man by hundreds of billions of dollars.

Those of us who look for the good in people have to accept that there are some with none in them.

The architects were sitting comfortably in an office. The men on the steel were the unnamed ones producing the value. Time should photograph the equivalent workers actually responsible for the wealth these โ€œarchitectsโ€ have amassed.

Is anyone lobbying parliament to get the Equality Act amended so the wording can't be interpreted to exclude trans women?

I endorse this opinion.
And add a surcharge on betting ads online and on TV/streaming.

I donโ€™t think the warning from the gambling industry that increasing taxes will mean betting shops closing is quite the threat they think it is.
Problem gambling is up there with tobacco in societal harm.
