Trans girls banned from joining Girlguiding Girlguiding says the move is in response to the Supreme Court ruling that said sex meant biological sex in equality law.

In the future weโ€™ll have to explain that we removed all spaces for a minority because we were worried they might all be rapists.

I remember begging companies for work experience and being told that, legally, it was too difficult and too expensive to let me come and be the tea boy for two weeks.

Perhaps @patmcfaddenmp.bsky.social can cut red tape so more people can get that first line on their CV.

Totally, but former owners get away with it by bankrupting their companies.

Some states do do that, but not all. The Biden admin put $4b towards the problem, but itโ€™s a drop in the ocean - there are 2-3m abandoned wells across the country. I just made an explainer about it this morning if you want to know more

Yes, it comes down to bankruptcy law allowing companies to literally take out the oil, offload the well to a shell company, then close the company. Leaving the well orphaned and the responsibility of the tax payer.

A lot of them are taking advantage of bankruptcy law. Thatโ€™ll have to be looked at.

Iโ€™ve been looking into Americaโ€™s abandoned oil wells โ€” and what I found shocked me.

Homes are exploding, people are getting sick, and somehow taxpayers are left with the bill.
