Just to put #ThamesWater issue into perspective;
Since 1991, it’s accrued a debt of £54billion.
In the same time, they’ve paid out £57billion to their shareholders.

Cisgender is a straightforward scientific adjective in widespread use in medicine & psychology, which has never been associated with any institutional bias against or disadvantage for the people it applies to.
"Cis" is just a short form of the term.
I am cis.

ALT A screenshot taken a minute ago from the NCBI National Library of Medicine, of search results for the term "cisgender." The page returned shows "PMC Search Results for a full-text search, items 1-20 of 7345" (which I have circled in orange, to highlight this), and the first paper shown on the page is "Investigating sex differences in T regulatory cells from cisgender and transgender healthy individuals and patients with autoimmune inflammatory disease: a cross-sectional study."

Q: How do you trick the population into believing that asylum seekers are becoming a bigger and bigger issue?
A: Stop processing asylum applications.
Cynical? That's exactly what the Tories did.
The % of asylum applications completed within 6 months fell from 80%+ to ~10%.

So important to remember that organ donors of every ethnicity are desperately needed. Of course we all hope it will never apply to us but if you'd accept an organ, please sign up as a donor.

Imagine being one of the journalists behind this disgusting poison, and then proudly tweeting it as breaking news.
Imagine going into journalism to stand up to… desperate women fleeing the totalitarian misogyny of the Taliban.
Doesn’t get more nauseating than this!
#BREAKINg A high-profile evacuation to the UK of Afghan female footballers fleeing the Taliban included a number of women who were not the top-tier players that it was claimed, a BBC investigation has been told.

Any cis person that thinks trans people transition because of 'social contagion' or 'special treatment' or some other bullshit, I have a challenge for you.
Crossdress. Do your absolute best to look as good as you possibly can. Spend one day out in public. Tell me how it goes.
Those moments when you're halfway through cleaning and prepping the venue for another day when you realise that it's actually your day off.
What an editorial disgrace. Leading with Javid - Health Minister for only 6 weeks and during the most incompetently damaging government in recent history. This next to the rictus grin used to accompany the discriminating and unproven claims of the "equalities" Minister.

The BBC have branded Prince Harry's new memoir Spare "The weirdest book ever written by a royal".
Which is a great excuse to tell you that in 1597 King James VI & I published the Daemonologie, a book on necromancy, black magic, and how to find, test, and punish witches.

I'll translate. A right-wing think tank founded by Michael Gove wants to deflect from the Tories' 12-year trashfest of the NHS with culture war garbage.
The NHS is 'seriously compromised' by gender ideology, according to government tsar trib.al/2iJ5CQW

A special international tribunal now taking shape in The Hague could indict President Putin for the crime of aggression.
