The FLA have now united with the DFLA hot on the heels of strong rumours that Tommy has been moved from the relative safety of Hull prison to the relative danger of Midlands prison. This really would be an incredibly bad time for something to happen to him.

Another example of the sad state of political life in the UK, where we are being led down the highway to hell by the rabid, screaming lefty PC brigade.

If it is saying that gender is irrelevant and doesn't need to be on a passport then that has some validity (if not some practicality issues for border control in most cases)
If it is saying you should have a myriad of options to declare then fuck off. -

Yeah. Glad I’m not a Pom right now, there decent odds Corbyn could be pm soon.
Ordinarily I'd have said "Not as long as I have a hole in my arse", but then again three years ago I'd have said the same about Trump being POTUS.

I think now might be a good time to prepare yourself mentally for the prospect of Dianne Abbott and people like her having senior ministerial roles in your government.
What would prefer policy wise? A year zero , a five year plan or a cultural revolution?

Anything with numbers in it as Dianne would obviously fuck that up.

What the fuck is going on here. Sacked for stating that gender is biological and determined at birth? And since when is that just a "religious" belief? It's not a fucking belief, it's science.
Fuck me this is not hard to understand. A trans woman is not medically a woman. A trans man is not medically a man. They are transsexual. That's actually important when it comes to health.

It's a scary thought but one that has been lurking around like a paedo at a playground ever since Brexit.
This what happens when dumb govts call referendums on a vague but potentially far reaching statement without actually thinking things through because arrogance lead them to believe the vote wouldn't pass.
As May's govt has tried to walk the tightrope between honouring the referendum and still having a practical way to enforce change.
Europe knows that half measures will be very hard to implement both practically and politically so are happy to take an all or nothing position. UK realised early on that the promised utopia from Brexiteers was a pipe dream and the practicalities in a hard leave would cause incredible hardships and place the UK in a very weak bargaining position in setting up new deals.
Anyone really think that an equitable 'free trade' deal can be made with Mr Protectionist President Trump? Deals with the US for anyone have always been a hard road but with the current leader they will be even harder.I have sympathy with those that wanted to reclaim more sovereignty and with those angry at the bureaucratic waste of the EU, but throwing the baby out with the bathwater was, IMO, a dumb move.
Far better to push for reform with a mandate to leave if nothing changed. Focus on the aspects that were shared by other nations so you could make pressure to change and work on having bail out options in place.This way of doing things has been a disaster.

@crucial Yep. Cameron, Osborne et al will go down as complete cretins. Not because they were responsible for us leaving the EU but for the complete fuck up they made that led to it. Whether the result ends up being good or bad (and that will always be the subject of argument), they bollocksed it royally.

I am genuinely starting to wonder if the govt is going to agree and sign to something which basically summounts to 3 things:
- The UK follows all EU laws, and has no say in making / amending them. But the UK has power over it's own laws which DO NOT have any effect within the EU.
- The UK can control it's own borders, but EU citizen immigration / settlement cannot be selective
- Trade agreements stay as is
It's an absolutely retarded position to be in, but the EU must stand firm for it's own position, but mustn't push decisons which make things harder for it's own citizens.

Utterly retarded. I literally know nobody that has any empathy at all for the whole gender fluid bullshit (I refuse to call it a movement. I mean, I can't decide that the sky is fluroscent pink and call it a movement), so how or why they have any sort of power/say will always leave me completely bemused.

Hide of a rhino that one.
I did have to laugh that reportedly Boris and mates were told at Chequers on Friday that if they opposed her stance they were to resign there and then and someone else would get their ministerial car ride home. Of course they couldn't dare let the chauffeur drive some junior nobody home so delayed their resignation until after a decent Sunday brunch.
