going to make it even harder for the legislation in scotland to be decent, is all of this stuff devolved i don't know

and that they thought about announcing it during the election! would it have been better to get it out in the open or worse to have started a culture war in the middle of an election

Weren't a lot of members of the Intercity Firm (supposedly West Ham supporters) actually City Traders and other 'new money' types?

That was always something that was claimed but actual ICF members don't really believe it. I think it was a bit of leaking of the classist horror of the City types at the incursion of the "barrow boys" into commodities and forex trading in the 80s, which again I started writing a long post about here but have now deleted for the sake of my own sanity.

Basically nah, the city traders were nerdy grammar school types, it's pretty unlikely they'd ever cross paths with the ICF.

i had a brief thought of "surely they couldn't actually try to legislate against trans people in bathrooms, how would that even work in practice" and then I remember this is tory legislation we're talking about, so why would such things concern them

If anyone wants to know more about the firms of the 70s and 80s, I highly recommend Among the Thugs, by an American writer who fell in with a United firm and then a West Ham firm during the 80s; it also explores side topics in brilliant detail, things like why decent fans kept going back even through the worst dog days of the mid-80s, or the psychology and attraction of crowd dynamics and mass violence, or the social structure of the National Front (with a supporting appearance from a pre-fame Nick Griffin).

Equal civil partnerships and parts of the GRA were devolved, so hopefully this limits the damage. But also hopefully actual doctors limit the damage first. It's a deliberate poo poo move.

I would like to say that the scottish government will use its autonomy to press forward regardless, and i would like to say the snp would be above above watering down its already watered-down legislation to exactly the point where they can avoid irritating people who hate change while still achieving the low bar of Slightly Less Bad Than England

but i would not make any bets on either being the case, personally

This is something the Tories are doing that the SNP want to do. They'll toe the Westminster line even where they don't have to, and when people protest they'll blame the English.

I'm glad that despite them not using the picnic footage or other choice clips on the news, they did use the one of the braying idiots attacking a police line complete with the bit at the end where the bellend in his mint green polo shirt did a dance floor two step shuffle towards the smallest police officer he could find. Really distils the pettiness of these clowns.

gently caress that book, it reads like one of those Victorian explorers talking about the savages of the Limpopo. It does describe Millwall fans as having the skin texture and body odour of cheese and onion crisps though, which is pretty funny.

That reminds me of the incident where a grandmother was placed in a cell with 40 men because the nurse saw she was taking hormones because of her medical condition and decided she was trans.
