I wandered past that today and the pro-trans counterprotest was significantly larger, not that you could tell from those BBC pictures or quotes.

Also there's no mention that the special guest speaker was anti-Catholic Britain First nazi Jolene Bunting.

Exactly. The problem isn't that Labour are being held too much to account, it's that the Tories aren't being held to account at all even after killing around 450,000 people.

It'd be a safeguarding issue if the child has parents who don't support their 'change', particularly parents who may be very handy with their fists.
Not sure how a child turning up in a skirt (of their own volition) is a safeguarding issue.
I have done numerous safeguarding refreshers in my time (but not for about 3 years) and this is not something that's ever come up as cause for concern.

Maybe someone who has done more recent refreshers can say if this has changed?

Although there is expected to be an exception for children believed to be at risk of “significant harm” at home, young people exploring their gender will be informed on to parents against their will, which could have devastating consequences – whether or not the school has marked these children at risk of harm in their family setting.

I was playing workers and resources soviet republic recently and somebody made a set of apartment buildings based off french futurism and they're hella sick.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2919211791

The guy who designed them actually got a small prototype built in paris but they stopped because his unreasonable demands like "everyone should have light and air" were interfering with making the buildings commercially viable.

There’s a building just like that near where I went to university, around Russell Square. Brunswick House I think? They’re cool but it is very space-inefficient to build those big ziggurat style blocks (because you can’t build straight up), and it has the problem all futurist projects have in the UK which is that it’s a wet and miserable country where concrete buildings always look like grim death.

Brunswick Square :)
I used to shop there when I lived in student and then hospital accommodation near there.

The ONS has linked more excess deaths in the UK to Tory policy 2010-22 than were caused by Nazi policy 1933-45. If the cunts were being held to proper account then they'd be decorating every lamppost for half a mile around Westminster. So don't come in here to poo poo up the thread and call me a liar, please.

if you start treating 'statistical murder' as a thing poo poo gets weird. like history's greatest blessing being capitalism for kicking up wealth levels. doing anything to combat climate change becomes literal murder because of the economic consequences in the near term, etc.
