Oh no. Is she TE (not RF) too?

I never read Harry Potter, they're children's books. But I respected her at some point for saying "hey, I was on welfare, and I'm glad to pay tax to pay for other people on welfare." Then she was a Lib Dem. At this point mount the cross and crucify her.

the UK has no free national ID card, right? so this means people absolutely need either a passport or a driver's licence to vote, and presumably both of those cost money

Yes Blair tried to introduce id cards but there was a huge backlash, people hated the idea. So you are pretty hosed for ID if you don't travel abroad or drive

In NI (where ID has been required at polling stations for years) you can get a free electoral identity card, but you need to send off a passport or driving license with your application to prove your identity lol

idk about the US case but my understanding is this case is about a woman whose contract wasn't renewed because she kept misgendering a trans co-worker. she tried to sue on the basis that she was being discriminated against for her philosophical beliefs, and the judge ruled being a transphobe is not a protected characteristic under the equalities act

the canadian government added gender identity to its list of protected classes. this caused noted peterson to piss himself over "compelled speech" (which is why i mentioned him as i'd seen it said on twitter a bit), saying he'd go on hunger strike etc if he was ever charged. this never happened but i'm sure he sold a lot of books because of it

that said i'm honestly surprised that political/philosophical beliefs are even a protected characteristic in the first place, but i know sod all about employment law anyway

It was early days. Austerity had only killed a few thousand. Cameron and his cabinet were run of the mill Tories funneling money to their interests while not being ideologically driven about anything. Maybe Labour would get back in power for another ten years and we could pretend itt was the early 2000's again.

Now Trump is president, Boris is primeminster and we're leaving the EU.

Yeah they hosed up but I don't think anyone predicted the end times of 2016-2020.

tbh i don't think independence would've actually helped anything much for scotland. they would've had the same issues as the UK has re: brexit, except that they could've tried very hard to make spain let them join the Union despite being filthy secessionists. don't think it would've gone very well, and if it didn't they would've been left begging for trade deals much like johnson is going to have to do now. scotland is also iirc a net recipient of central funds, though obviously that number is bloated a lot by the City of London having such a massive paper value

one thing which is really cool is going cycling in scotland and seeing all the rich people buying up farmland and building nightmare glass mansions in the middle of nowhere. it's very charming and really blends in with their idyllic surroundings

rich people are great and have good taste!!
