This is the woman who was interviewed in that horrible BBC article that just today they’ve been all out defending. Content warning for some genuinely violent transphobia https://twitter.com/christapeterso/status/1455574098717913096?s=21

The hot new terf look is literally repeating "the worst thing that a man can be is a woman" from 1930s Nazi transmisogyny while calling yourself a brave feminist. Now lets get a fair and balanced medical view from some nice old doctors we found hiding in Argentina.

Well, that was my thinking when I resolved to defy fashion and make some antimacassars for my elderly armchairs. But they constantly get pulled aside and fail to protect anything, so I have made twee things in vain .

It feels like it's reaching tipping point and this is going to lead to a trans person getting killed except that happens all the loving time and nobody does anything, not anyone with the power to effect real change anyway.

Yes but at least the nazis usually go around heiling a lot and most people will say they are the bad guys. These nutcases go around thinking they're god's gift and get published by the BBC. I am less worried about nazis because I think they are easier to spot and most of the groups I would voluntarily associate with are likely to exclude them.

I'm hoping that if one tiny good thing comes of this it'll be that most reasonable people will have some kind of Jolyon Maugham moment* and start putting this in the same category Of course the BBC and most of the rest of the press will do their hardest to just pretend it doesn't exist, but so long as people can get their heads around the fact that Nazis aren't poo poo because they wave scary flags and are interested in esoteric political ideas, they're poo poo because those flags and ideas call for oppression and murder, there's no way of excusing any of this either. *The one where he realized that terves are as violent and unhinged as everyone was saying, not the incident with the fox

In a sense yes, I am hoping that it crosses the glinner threshold and ends up making them look like the raving psychopaths they are. But I am also just very, very exhausted by the fact that that is the best I can hope for.

Glinner had apparently libeled a bunch of high profile gay men by accusing them of covering up a child sex ring, so hopefully he finally losses the remaining rights to his TV shows to cover the damages and we can go back to enjoying Father Ted.

Jedit posted:I remember that guy from uni, although be damned if I can remember his name now. Sad story - he went off the deep end after his Masters thesis was rejected and spent all his time hanging out on the High Street with a giant placard protesting the bias of Maxwell Irvine (who was chancellor at the time). Of course a year or so of that and you become completely unemployable. That was when he hit the Army Surplus stores and went full conspirasphere. Last I know of him was about 15 years ago; he was living in a tiny bedsit with army camo curtains and a giant board about Scottish nationalism in the window. I didn't know Coohoolin went that crazy! e: I don't know when someone did the custom title but I'm kinda into it

Hi UKMT Sorry I'm a big lurker in this thread, but I did want to ask a question in case anyone is knowledgeable about employment law. During the Christmas period, our company forces us to use our annual leave when the offices are shut down, however I do work in a department that provides support and advice. We have been asked to volunteer to watch our help desk for queries that come through during this time, however I think there is no time in lieu nor compensation offered, being as its in a period that the company has actively forced us to take leave, is this legal? (I have no intention of volunteering, keeping my leave sacred! But it would be useful to know!)

Glinner can't write anymore. All he does is cut and paste Twitter. You need a degree in Twitter to work out what the gently caress he's on about. I haven't got a clue who any of the people he talks about are. The best thing I ever did was delete and block that cursed app or I'd have ended up a desiccated husk like him.

Paper Planes posted:Hi UKMT Depends on your employment contract I guess. But I doubt it is illegal. I once worked somewhere where my offer letter said 4 weeks annual leave, but when I got there I was told that it was compulsory to take the time between Xmas and New Year off as part of that. Which as someone who does not celebrate Xmas was not welcome. But that was in the 80s. Jaeluni Asjil fucked around with this message at 22:20 on Nov 2, 2021 |

Paper Planes posted:Hi UKMT IANAL, and my knowledge on this is a few years out of date, but on the assumption that you're a salaried employee on a fixed hours contract: - It is *not* legal for them to force you use up annual leave days on bank holidays if the company is ordinarily closed on bank holidays. - It *may* be legal for them to force you to use annual leave on non-bank holidays if the company is closed on a day you would normally be working - this depends on quite a lot of factors but generally speaking the law is on the employer's side there. - It is absolutely, 100%, *not* legal for them to have you work - even as a "volunteer" - on a day you have booked off even if you are forced to take that time off (with the exception of contractually-agreed cover shifts)

It surprises me that workplaces are still doing Covid restrictions. Most of my colleagues are lucky if we get 1 day a week WFH (we have a lot of customer facing work) and quite a few people choose to wear masks, but that's up to individuals. We've booked a night out for the work Christmas do and some of us are going to a colleague's housewarming party next week. In 18 months, nobody in my department has had Covid.

On the other hand, I work with just two other people, there are only 3 paid employees at my work, and we only go in on Mondays. The other two both had covid in the past few weeks despite being double jabbed. Both of them have teenage kids at two different schools miles apart. Fortunately, I did not succumb.

Paper Planes posted:Hi UKMT If you are 'working' on days in between Christmas you will not be using up your annual holiday allowance and if you are asked to work on a bank holiday you will receive that day back in lieu. If they are asking you to potentially keep an eye on an e-mail inbox and only 'work' if something comes in then it depends. Are they asking you to be 'on call' and does your contract have a provision for what this is and what it means? Check your contract/employee handbook. If they are asking you to volunteer as a just in case option then it gets into a very grey area. I for instance once ran the webstore for a fairly large clothing company and while we were 'closed' on Christmas day and boxing day I still kept an eye on the social media to make sure we didnt drop a bollock or get the page flooded with racism. There was nothing more to it than checking an e-mail that came in and deciding if it was important enough to respond to (none were) and scanning the channels occasionally, and since I was sat on my phone for most of christmas was no real extra effort. If you aren't going to volunteer then its really immaterial what the actual situation is as it doesn't matter to you. I would recommend you have an actual discussion to find out what the realities are as I can only offer the vaguest of advice without knowing for sure.
