there was a major national debate over this in the early 1990s, a time when all of a sudden half your friends were on antidepressants! there was even an extremely famous and controversial book in 1994 about this very subject! GAH

This is why I just laugh when people talk about the threat of British Trumpism. Lads, our entire political/media class put their heads together seven years ago and the best idea they could come up with was “let’s just shitehouse Boris Johnson into power, and worry about the details later”.

I wonder if the "friend", "ally" and "adviser" mentioned in this dreck are actually all the same person. I must say though, the idea that Starmer's lasting legacy ("big stuff") will be the reactionary trivia of a ban on social media for kids is fitting.

So the U.K. has gone from, in 2022/23: “Should trans women with GRCs be considered for all women lists?” to, last week: “Trans women who are just existing in the same room as you, could be considered as discrimination against you.”

Stuff like this goes on because Britain has what looks like an internationally remarkable system called “briefing”: basically a formalised process that allows politicians and party hacks to anonymously bullshit the public and wreck, defame, insult and undermine their colleagues.

Peck’s presenting this as sleight of hand, a creative technicality that you can imagine Oxbridge twats thinking is very clever, but then you get to “a spin doctor will be quoted as a cabinet minister” which is just straight-up fraud

Great to remember that what Burnham’s doing now is designed to prove a concept of how he’d behave in government. Not my words, Lynne, words briefed to and written up by the Guardian’s deputy political editor.

At some point people are going to need to come to terms with the fact that the aim of Labour Together was to restore and solidify the party as a fiefdom for pigs, slobs and worms; that it succeeded fully in that goal; and that every person who remains in or affiliated with the party is irredeemable.

The bit about 'rerunning argument's is genuinely rather sinister despite it's inanity. When a minority groups rights are removed, we have to 'stop arguing' and... accept it?!

True story: The media kept undercounting attendance at anti Gulf War rallies at the Federal Building in LA, that organizers did a sign in sheet so they could prove there were more people there than claimed. The media (LA Times) then decided to stop discussing crowd sizes.

Starmer was elected on promises of improving a country in shambles, and what he has proceeded to do is ignore the most pressing concerns to instead fixate on a petty, cruel, and fundamentally inhuman agenda of scapegoating immigrants, policing bathrooms, and tearing away support from the vulnerable.

other people have said this, but you aren't an "ally" if you are chummy with transphobes or are friendly with other journalists who work at the racism factories. expressing mild displeasure in a tweet does not absolve you.
