what keeps happening to my clothes
having never actually met a trans person in real life (that they know of) they have spent years building up an imaginary one in their heads from half-remembered news stories and things they read on mumsnet/facebook/etc , an imaginary trans woman who is Ugly and Icky and gets off sexually from wearing a skirt and smelling the fetid piss and poo poo of (specifically female) strangers. once they may even have seen someone who was a bit tall in a bathroom and when they stared at the tall person for an extended period they looked a bit uncomfortable, that's proof so that is, they're everywhere

e: 125 is the atomic number of the yet-to-be-discovered element unbipentium. so there you go.

As a tall cis woman with feet larger than most men I know, better at maths than most men I know, hate shopping for clothes & shoes, and with an extensive heavy metal collection, I fail the Real Woman test bigly. I've also been sexually assaulted by a cis female in the women's bogs in a dodgy pub in Bethnal Green (which shook me up quite as much as if she had been a man). The male friend I was with said I looked completely shocked when I came out of the bogs.

As a cis man who's been using men's toilets for my entire life, I don't think I've ever once seen someone else's dick. It's even less likely you'd see a dick in the ladies loos because presumably everyone uses a cubical in there rather than urinals.

I'm assuming ladies don't typically wander around the sinks with their pants down but idk

The attack ads would be fine if they said the conservatives and explained it was due to cuts. Making it about rishi sunak being personally is really wierd ans is also then super easy to deflect. "Rishi, do you believe in locking nonces up"
"Well of course but that isnt always possible due to sentancing guidelines sey by kier when he was DPP"

LMAO I just read a BBC article about the MEP corruption scandal, where they almost entirely quote the lawyer of the accused guy and try to paint it as a conflict between Italy and Belgium, when it's just that guy trying to not go to jail.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-65148600

Like Italy is plenty poo poo at times but maybe don't take the guy about to go to prison for corruption for his word.

BBC - Qatargate: Andrea Cozzolino's lawyer speaks to the BBC posted:

It's the corruption scandal stinking up the EU.

Suitcases filled with euros seized in Brussels flats. A number of MEPs locked up behind bars awaiting trial.

And now a battle over extradition between Belgian investigators and Italian judges.

Andrea Cozzolino, an MEP for Southern Italy since 2009, stands accused of taking bribes from foreign countries to influence the European Parliament - allegations he denies.

He is one of four current and former MEPs wrapped up in the Qatargate investigation, which centres around allegations that Qatar and Morocco paid a group based in Brussels to sway EU lawmakers.

Qatar has vehemently denied any wrongdoing, while Morocco has hit back at "judicial harassment" and "media attacks".

On 11 April judges will decide whether Mr Cozzolino, 60, will leave house arrest in the southern Italian city of Naples and be taken to a Belgian prison under a European Arrest Warrant.

But his lawyer has told the BBC the prosecutors are trying to "see if he cracks", and demands more details about the allegations against Mr Cozzolino - as well as reassurances his client's health won't suffer in a Belgian jail.

A parliamentary report in January said Mr Cozzolino was suspected of "protecting the interests of foreign states in the European Parliament... in exchange for sums of money".

Days later, prosecutors issued a European Arrest Warrant for the MEP. He was briefly taken into custody before being placed under house arrest.

But his lawyer Federico Conte told the BBC the warrant was "completely vague, partial and sometimes it even lacks transparency".

"Where did the corruption take place? When? Through what means - cash or bank transfers? From whom?" he said. "If the Belgian prosecutor has the proof of Mr Cozzolino's guilt, why don't they show it?"

"Our suspicion is that they think in jail Cozzolino... would be more inclined to confess or accuse others."

Mr Conte has also accused the Belgian prison service of being overcrowded, with "lacking and obsolete" facilities. According to the lawyer, Italian judges allowed Mr Cozzolino to stay at home because he has heart problems - and Mr Conte does not believe he would receive proper care in a Belgian prison.

The lawyer cited a 2022 Council of Europe report which highlighted "overcrowding" and "clearly insufficient" health services in four Belgian prisons, four years after the body called for Belgium to improve conditions for inmates, particularly at times when prison staff are on strike.

e: They do provide a counterpoint later on but come on. Edited because I was on my phone and couldn't quote since the BBC app doesn't allow it.

quote:

But Alberto Alemanno, professor of EU law at HEC Paris, dismissed Mr Conte's allegations as "fictitious". He accused him of "leveraging the health status of Mr Cozzolino in order to somehow tarnish... a very difficult investigation across Europe", arguing they were a delaying tactic.

"[These allegations] sound very useful to satisfy the private interest of an individual who is currently suspected of major breaches of the rule of law," he told the BBC.

Mr Alemanno described European Arrest Warrants as the "bread and butter" of European justice, and said Mr Cozzolino's attempts to challenge it were "very unusual" - adding that the Belgian investigation so far into the corruption allegations had been "extremely thorough", and that Belgian prisons compared favourably with others around Europe.

"[The prosecutors] are following the rules of the game, which basically stem from the European Court of Human Rights case law," he said.

Posting it here because it's what I find annoying sometimes about BBC world reporting. It can be a bit, well, sensationalist? I can't imagine the same article structure being used for a similar case in Britain.

I just love the predictable back and forth response to those ads. First they release them. Then they double down. Then they get worried that the thats going badly so they release some statements saying that Starmer never actually knew about them in the first place. Then they get worried about the indecision and double down again. Now we're going to swing back and someone specific is going to get blamed for this.

Its just funny how despite their lead they still look indecisive and weak, and its all for stupid poo poo like a completely unnecessary offensive advertising campaign when they're flying high in the polls. Its so stupid that I think it might be the starting point of a backlash against Starmer by the audience hes been trying to court.

I mean I think the terfs are absolutely genuinely terrified of sharing a bathroom with trans people and absolutely constantly thinking about other people's genitals, but that's an argument against being a loving terf because the fear stems from terf brain not the other way around.

The number of places I've worked where there's just A Toilet used by everyone would apparently terrify a terf into utter catatonia.

Its like Labour think they've found the antisemitism scandal for the right.

I'm just amazed. Given minorities and those without power being utterly hosed by the justice system since time immemorial. With decades and decades of proof and entire social movements coming about because of it and massive institutional scandals about racism, sexism, and bigotry of all kinds being factually endemic in the police. The public has never been more aware that "throw more people in jail" does not work, has never worked and will never work. They decide THIS is the time to dig their heels in.

What the gently caress. How are they this dumb?

As said above Bastani is a bit melty, but downstream had Ash on it and was pretty good yesterday. https://youtu.be/oz3pqVHZZ5M

Pretty much rightly points the finger at the centrists and the media as the actual problem. Plus some good behind the scenes stories of how insanely deranged they can be.

0.000% of Communism has been built. Evil child-murdering billionaires still rule the world with a shit-eating grin. All he has managed to do is make himself *sad*. It has, however, made him into a very, very smart boy with something like a university degree in Truth. Instead of building Communism, he now builds a precise model of this grotesque, duplicitous world.
