I think so, but it torments the people of Hartlepool which is a shame because it’s a nice place
Not sure who was the daftest, them or Rupert Lowe though 🀣🀣

There was some discussion recently about workplace being covered by the Management of H&S Regs and not covered by the SC ruling
A further twist was that if staff use public facilities at a location they become workplace toilets πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ
But it’s all so confusing
And then there’s this problem ⬇️

In Hartlepool during the Napoleonic war a French warship sank and the only survivor was a ships monkey dressed in a sailors uniform
The Hartlepool people who saw it, thought it was a French sailor and hung the poor thing
Hartlepool is now only known for one thing 🀣

The Times has been β€œrolling the pitch” today on behalf of the EHRC, starting to leak what the soon to be issued Statutory Guidance will say
God, we’ve absolutely no media allies as far as I can see
And imagine their joy on the day it’s actually published?

I wrote to the CEO
Someone posted his email

ceo@customer-support.marksandspencer.com

His name is Machin (can’t remember his first name)

I did too and got the same reply
Hopefully they got 100s of letters about their appalling behaviour and terrible media management

I’ve seen proposed signs that say β€œcubicles and urinals” on one door and β€œcubicles” on the other. Simple

The problem is, as the Ladies Swimming Club in London are finding out, despite what the members think, a well lawyered up TERF can force them to ban us. Most organisations faced with the threat from the TERFs will simply capitulate as they don’t want the cost or hassle

I’ve done the same
They can’t proclaim to be proud of their LGBT employees and then capitulate to the first hysterical woman who comes along
They have the power to stand up to this sort thing like Wetherspoons did

They can’t have it both ways. If the use of female only space is now based on chromosomes, trans men go into the ladies
No ifs, no buts 😊

Trans women are easy to target
I contest trans men aren’t. Testosterone works wonders and very quickly they become great looking men who pass easily
So it’s not an attack on a minority community but on only part of that community 🀬🀬

I don’t think it’s β€œwomen in general”, that’s too broad
I live in the β€œreal world” not the Twittersphere and spend my time with women. They are all friendly helpful and kind and when the Supreme Court ruling came out I had several contact me to say how appalled they were and check I was ok

Oh they will, just give them time. Organisations will have to only allow female cleaners into female toilets and changing rooms otherwise they will be breaking the Law
I’m also hoping trans men start using the ladies facilities as they must now do
Unintended consequences?

Ask those with the broadest shoulders to β€œpay a little bit more” Keir, like you promised before the election 🀬

It’s just the start of it all, the TERFs are on the lookout for trans women anywhere now and are objecting to us.
I’m waiting for a female customer to be β€œappalled” at being served a drink in a pub next!!
Interesting though that it’s only trans women they are persecuting isn’t it? 😑

An easy way to reduce bills for low users (often poorer households) would be to remove the Standing Charge. I pay Β£4.69/week without using a single watt of electricity
A social tariff for the first β€œx” KW would also help low users

People are getting fed up of having their rights taken away by a Party that supposedly stands for values of fairness and social justice as well as compassion and common decency
You should be ashamed Keir Starmer 🀬

Only 50%?
I would have thought higher than that
Their minds are made up, they’ve got a new Chair who makes Falkner seem like a rational unbiased person so expect the worst
Buckle up, it’s going to be a bumpy ride! 😊
