Full solidarity with Hannah Spencer, this is absolutely disgraceful behaviour.
This is a direct attack on our democracy, Hannah is an elected MP that has the right to walk free in the city she represents without these extremists behaving like thugs

WILL GERMAN REUNIFICATION
HURT TRANSSEXUAL RIGHTS?

Now that East and West Germany are being united into one country, the laws concerning transsexuals and sex change operations are being re-evaluated. East Germany scores higher on transsexual rights than West Germany, but East Germany's more humane laws may not prevail in the new reunited country. As it stands now in East Germany, men and women 18 years and older have been able to receive government-sponsored sex reassignment surgery, get married and adopt children. According to Professor Goerlich of East Germany, who spoke at a meeting on the subject in Hamburg, in two cases a transsexual mother gained custody of her adopted children after a divorce. Goerlich plans to fight to retain these more liberal laws in the future Germany.

Old article about the worries of trans liberation and trans rights, formerly granted in East Germany, being threatened by the re-unification with West Germany, who still upheld anti-feminist nazi laws (and partially still does to this day, like the criminalization of abortion)

March 8, 2026 - Tehran at sunrise today. But the sun is hidden behind a sky filled with smoke. After a night of intensive strikes on oil facilities, thick black clouds now hang over the city, turning morning into something that feels like night.

In Soviet times, communist regimes pressed both men and women into scientific careers. The coercion may be gone, but the legacy remains

In Soviet times, communist regimes pressed both men and women into scientific careers. The coercion may be gone, but the legacy remains

Even today, western media describes women’s equality under communism as a bad thing.

And the fact that half of Soviet scientists were women is proof that the reason it’s so low in capitalist countries isn’t “women don’t prefer that kind of work” like some try to claim.

No surprise with Rust. I thought Haskell would be more LGBT though. Zig is more LGBT than I expected.

In the UK, there is a tradition of royals being patrons of charities.

Obvs Eugenie's father being a child rapist is bad optics for the charity. Hence her exit.

I'm starting to believe shitlibs pushing the "distraction" narrative is itself a distraction, to turn attention away from how politically incompetent and useless they are

I agree. Also, DST is different in the US and UK. More confusion.

I don't know why we can't just leave the clocks alone and maybe change the working hours seasonally instead? 🤷‍♀️

UK Green leader backs ‘Zionism is racism’ motion despite outcry The eco-populist leader said the Israeli government’s actions in Gaza are “absolutely” racist.

I just blocked someone who is *convinced* that Zack is a liberal zionist despite him supporting the "zionism is racism" resolution 🤷‍♂️

A lot of self-styled MLs who claim to be against leftcoms and trostkyists have a habit of behaving exactly like leftcoms and trotskyists.

Tell me that you haven't read "Left-wing communism : An Infantile Disorder" without telling me you haven't read "Left-wing communism : An Infantile Disorder".

He literally supports the "Zionism is Racism" motion.

But you want him to jump the gun anyway?

He could literally be prosecuted for publicly saying "I support Palestine Action" in the UK.

Do you think he should do that?

He's not. Dale laid a verbal trap for him and he side-stepped it.

Yup. The "Zionism is racism" statement is a motion to conference that hasn't been voted on yet.

I feel a great disturbance in the EU.

As if dozens of bald boomer expats from the UK cried out in centrism and were suddenly silenced.
