Ah, so good it belongs in the Schadenfreude thread. Let us take a moment to reflect on how humiliating it must be for Burchill to publish that, including the no-doubt mandated request that people re-tweet it. it's almost as good as Hopkins's apology to the Finsbury Park Mosque, which she had to make as she couldn't pay damages, after being bankrupted for libeling Jack Monroe. This is a surprisingly good piece of the effect of Covid in the E London Covid triangle. I say surprising because even though it's the FT it does not go easy on austerity, wealth disparities, racism, inequality, etc and how those have played out. https://www.ft.com/content/0e63541a-8b6d-4bec-8b59-b391bf44a492?utm_source=pocket-newtab-global-en-GB

Stormgale posted:https://twitter.com/cj_bellwether/status/1371355734407966730 This is the context needed to interpret Owl's numbers from earlier. It could have been the case that people were exiting and leaving the GIC referral lists at roughly the same rate, meaning that 5 years and change was just how long the process takes. But knowing that they are not, the numbers become indicative of a system that is either starved of support or being purposefully obstructive (if not both).

People probably thought I was being absurdly hyperbolic when I said the UK's approach to transitioning is to essentially force a trans person to desist or die waiting if they cannot afford private sector healthcare Its increasingly clear that's the official plan. Inaction/apathy is in itself an action; the vast majority of cis people simply don't give enough of a poo poo for this to change anytime soon , even if they hold positive, affirming views towards trans people.

Ring the by-election bell, the Labour MP for Hartlepool has resigned with immediate effect https://twitter.com/jtw_25_51/status/1371790646151905283?s=20 Seems like an awful person. Hill had a majority of 3,595 so will be interesting to see if the Tories can overturn that.

I’d say a good 50% of the trans women I know, and rising, have ended up in Thailand in their early 30s having only ever seen a GP. The rest are disabled and therefore too poor to afford it.

Guavanaut posted:Its come up before itt, but the FT is probably one of the best British newspapers for that kind of reporting, if only because their readers expect something approaching reality for their investments or strategy meetings, so they have a reduced latitude to engage in flag waving, conspiracy woo, or other kinds of nonsense. Yeah, I think it's been said for years that the Financial Times is one of the better papers for a leftist to read since it's for the capital class, not just another propaganda rag, so it has reasons to report accurately on things that might affect the bottom line, since it's the job of the other papers to massage it to a capital-friendly message.

That and it cuts out all the culture war poo poo and other white noise. It's a blessed relief to go on a newspaper website and see, at the absolute peak, one tiny sidebar story about Harry and Meghan. Incidentally the FT accounts system accepts full stops in GMail addresses as being different accounts so I just re-register for the £1 a month trial sub every month. Avoids the price issue.

It's probably a long shot, but on the off chance Keith falls and she gets on the ballot. She seems to be being pushed by the left for more exposure etc ... so it's plausible that she might get the SCG nomination. I've seen numerous centrist and rightwing people positively share her stuff on facebook too. But every time Kier speaks my hand hovers over the cancel direct debit button.
