The girl next door, if that girl threw raves in her garden | Changing Everything | UK
Maybe I should close down the service my company provides essentially at cost and mostly at a loss to Rape Crisis and Sexual abuse services across the UK because apparently despite my many different roles doing public good and commercially helping women that should feel safe, I’m a terrible predator that should actually be subject to abuse and hate, humiliated and subjected to exclusions and discrimination.
Or is it that I’m “good enough” for that but not to have a piss in peace.
Quite bizarre why Reform and friends are so obsessed with the Exeter Pride event today as if it makes any odds to them.
Worse though is the absolute crap they're spouting that somehow an event held at the library is now a harm to children because supposedly this means that children are being forced into LGBT by going to the library.
If only there were some actual, genuine issues that needed attention in the region instead.
Unsurprised to learn that Labour has lost seats everywhere. It seems a strategy of policies akin to Reform didn’t gain them Reform voters but did lose them Labour voters. What a massive surprise.
Then add the chaotic first period as government with policies that get cancelled before they’re even finished announcing them and a series of own goals by leadership and the results are not surprising.
Oh and nobody is out reforming reform on tactics either. Absolute morons the lot of them.
Number of women made safer by new “statutory guidance”: Practically zero. I’m sure someone will find one example & project it as if it’s a constant occurrence.
Number of women on average* typically raped by the time the 40 days of alleged “consultation” on the new guidance: 87,452.
*using Cambridge Rape Crisis numbers, which likely also are underreporting as many never get reported.
Society is not fixing issues, it’s creating new ones and leaving women unsafe.
New “guidance” that isn’t won’t fix any issues. Just create more.
It means places will use cop outs like using the already woeful accessible facilities as the third space making life worse for trans & those with accessibility needs.
It’ll create a forced “outing” of people & create loads of social exclusion.
…and it won’t change the 91% of rapes that are by men, the 6 in 7 by those known to the woman, or 2 in 5 by partner or ex. As they almost never happen in toilets.
Can’t say I’m surprised Wes fuckwit Streeting has resigned in order to create further turmoil and waste the nations time and money some more.
Same fuck wit that harms kids based on no science.
Still, I’m sure he won’t further waste our time by creating a run against Starmer so even less gets done for the nation for months.
That guy isn’t fit to run a bath let alone a country.
“The discount, which will be up to businesses to pass on to customers, will also apply to children's entry to cinemas, soft play and theatres, as well as children's meals in restaurants and cafes.”
Er… no it isn’t a choice.
What you mean is, it’s up to businesses if they simply reduce the VAT and thus your price or they use the difference to also up the fee so the total end figure remains the same.
What they can’t do is “choose” whether to aerosol charge you more or less VAT.
There are no words. None.
Filing today under "Shouldn't have bothered and gone back to bed instead"
600,000 people paid $100 as a deposit on a Trump phone.
$60,000,000 of grift money. From yet another grift.
Before they've used it to earn money from the money they got.
They still haven't managed to release a rebadged, gold effect android phone.
Of course.
I would pretend I am surprised to learn that the police have now arrested some bloke for suspected arson for setting fire to Pink Punters.
If I was a betting girl I'd be placing money on why...
I hope one day to be able to successfully offer retirement (but not so voluntarily) to Microsoft.
*consults the if life gets too bad note on phone*
Yes, it does exist.
And yes, I have an out plan. Always have a plan.
Someone else had a pop at Trump?
Def won’t be a fake event to distract from Epstein and Iran situation and get his support back up again.
Are we really supposed to believe that America can’t vet people at an event like the White House Correspondents Dinner and actively avoid this risk?
Companies firing staff in bulk.
People desperate to see AI expenditure reduce.
Companies desperate to keep spending for fear of being left behind.
... But also desperate to start earning revenue to return investments.
People unwilling to pay for AI
What could possibly go wrong. Bubble is gonna burst soon.
