Absolutely no recognition that a good chunk (25%?) of local council spending is dictated from Westminster. Women should have a say on who goes in to women's bogs (you can guess what she means by 'women') and JK Rowling has been unfairly demonized Not enough houses for 'our own' let alone refugees Brexit voter. Pronouncing Epstein as EpStine instead of EpSteen is definitely anti-semitic. She has been a great friend for over 40 years and given me a lot of support when I really needed it, so we have to put a ring round political discussion. Her views have only mutated in this direction in the last 10 years.

Content warning: long and probably dull, strong E/N flavour. Posted here coz all the people involved are from UK. I live in HK. Couple of weeks back my aunt, who was basically a second mum to me in my childhood when my mum was a single mum, died while on holiday in Spain with my actual mum, who is her little sister. The holiday was planned as a way of cheering up my mum after the death of her husband (my stepdad) a month or so earlier. It took me a week to get a flight back; on the way mum cremated her sister, who died with but apparently not of covid, and negotiated covid rules and whatnot to get herself and the ashes back home. When I finally arrived, mum was barely functional. The house I grew up in was now cobwebbed, full of mice, all my stepdad’s old stuff everywhere. Rubbish all over, plates not cleaned. Mum was always very houseproud before this. I’ve just spent the last 2 weeks looking after mum, arranging the funeral and generally clearing up at home, while trying to cheer her up. My aunt was a hyper sociable person with hundreds of friends; my mum is right up the other end of the personability scale and hates all this interaction that’s needed for the funeral. My family in HK just wants me back and I’m terrified of getting covid and not being able to board my plane next week. FML really.

Sorry Beef x Is there anyone your mum might be willing to accept help from in terms of helping her with the house and so on? If you haven't already, check with your airline the precautions etc and whether they'll offer you a free ticket exchange if you do get covid. Also sounds like you haven't had chance to grieve yet.

Would your mum be ok to join you? Might sound silly and useless, but more time outdoors in the fresh air lowers transmission and talking without a defined goal in a setting different to where you're usually thinking or talking about things sometimes can help.

Maybe she did have gender dysmorphia, we will never know. I doubt it though. I expect her interpretation of being a trans child is the way my aunt called my mum a 'boyess' because mum preferred toy trains to dolls, and how I wanted to be a boy because It's Not Fair, Boys Never Have To Help With The Housework :grumpystomp: and I had to fight to be allowed to do Technical Drawing at school instead of stupid needlework whereas boys just get to do TD without question. Etc etc.

Doccykins posted:Yes your employment contract should include a 'normal place of work' which for most organisations is their registered office in companies house. Now that COVID is Officially Over ( As with a lot of things that might be how the law is, but in practice it depends on what you can work out with your employer more than anything. For one my contract explicitly says that my place of work is where I live (followed by the exact address) but I'm still being asked to come into the office twice a week because that's the policy for everyone from on high. It helps that it's a 3 hour commute which gives me cover to an extent, but I can't avoid it entirely.

I do recall having something kind of like gender dysphoria while I was going through puberty maybe for a period of a few months, I assume as a result of all the various sex hormones doing their things, so it's certainly possible to have those feelings and for them to eventually subside. I have no idea how common that is, based on my sample size of one. It's ridiculous in the extreme and very clearly deliberately both inflammatory and offensive to phrase it as "I was trans and I grew out of it", though.

Weeto has form for being a disgusting person and being full of poo poo about multiple things in the past. She may well have had gender dysphoria previously but she's only going to be mentioning it so she can use it in bad faith.

I have seen lots of Liberal colleges I follow on Twitter applaud this and talk about how positive it's going to be. All I can think of in my cynical world view is that in a few years it's going to come out how toxic the set was and how awfully Ncuti was treated. I'm basing this on how awful and toxic the set of Doctor Who was the last time Russel Davis was on the show, how Christopher Eccleston left the show because of this set conditions and this creepy BBC news report/Instagram photo which gives a really creepy vibe. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-61371123

Your response is a total non-sequitur. Perhaps you intended to reply to a different post. I am no Corbyn fan, but as I understand it he was at an event where others joined, at which point he should have left but didn't. It's hardly the same as organising an event intending that there will be more than six people.

it says in the article that there were less than six people initially, and after a while a few more arrived and took it over the limit, and also that he recognises that this was a breach of the rule-of-six and apologises for it. that's not the same as setting out to organise a piss-up with thirty people on the invite list

I mean, a ton of people did ignore the rules, because they were bad rules and were almost completely unenforced, because the tories had and have no interest in actually protecting the public from the pandemic. "Let the bodies pile up in their thousands" - remember?quote:Scotland Yard confirmed the MP will not be fined, saing police will not retrospectively enforce coronavirus laws. A spokesman said police did not issue fines retrospectively This is just a ludicrous thing to say.
