This is a beautifully-written and timely piece.

"Britain’s persecution of trans people is not a reflection of an informed public demanding action. It is a reflection of a political and media establishment desperate to avoid scrutiny, eager to misdirect public anger, and entirely comfortable punching down when it suits them."

Last week the Safety Not Surveillance coalition hit the streets of London.

We sent the message that so-called 'crime-predicting' tech must be BANNED!

Because we have the right to be presumed innocent, not predicted guilty.

This tech fuels racism, enables unchecked police power and threatens all our rights. Ban it!

Kemi #Badenoch has missed a historic opportunity. Instead of denouncing #Farage's schoolboy #racism & #antisemitism, she merely called for apology.

In the 1960s, Ted Heath took a firm line against Enoch Powell. #Conservatives could be crucial again today, but Badenoch is anti-anti-racist. She deplores the people who changed Britain to make her career possible.

The first black African leader of a #UK political party is letting racism revive.

Fail, fail and fail again...

The UK Information Commissioner's Office has issued a weak reprimand to the Post Office for publishing the identities of Horizon’s victims.

The ICO's failure to enforce data protection law adds insult to injury for the victims of this scandal.

“This reprimand is a go ahead for public organisations in the UK to keep inflicting harm, knowing that the ICO will leave them off the hook.

The ICO should have, at the bare minimum, issued an enforcement notice that legally binds the Post Office to take action.”

🗣️ @marianods for ORG.

The UK Information Commissioner's Office's litany of failures to enforce data protection law cannot go on.

That's why ORG brought together over 70 organisations and experts to back our call for an inquiry into this submissive watchdog.

MPs must step up to keep our data safe and secure!

But, of course, trans women and girls are the problem ... 🫠

... so exclude them from the Girl Guides and Women's Institute just in case a TERF has to breathe the same air!?!

Fucking country.

No Mr Brown, you are and have consistently been against assisted dying for religious reasons since I can remember. Palliative care improvements are essential, but the two are not mutually exclusive - and you will be opposed to assisted dying no matter what the state of palliative case. A vocal minority in the HoL should not prevail.
