I mean I don't want cops at pride either but SERIOUSLY

Alliance Defending Freedom at it again, fucking up UK politics via bullshit fash-tivist cases (lawyer is Paul Conrathe who was behind a number of anti-trans, anti-abortion and anti-assisted dying cases)

Uniformed police officers were wrong to march in Pride event, high court rules

@Colman @stavvers @Tattie Simply thinking of themselves as “cis” is a start. As others have pointed out, trans rights and trans people will only be generally and securely accepted once cis people think of themselves as cis – just as straight people came (eventually, and with much resistance) to think of themselves as straight

Wife made a joke about opening up the marriage and now I'm terrified as we both know she'd end up with loads of attention while I got none. So I've upped my husband game. Flowers, date nights, helping more around the house. There's a chance I've been played but I can't risk it.

New piece of writing on how British politeness and 'manners' are the last surviving pillars of the Empire.

'Not all legacies of the British Empire are loud. Some are quiet, habitual, and dressed in good intentions. In the UK, tone still trumps truth, and politeness remains more culturally sacred than justice.'

Please, Thank You, and Other Forms of Control

How politeness is the last surviving pillar of the British Empire. Not all legacies of the empire are loud. Some are quiet, habitual, and dressed in good intentions. In Britain, tone still trumps truth, and politeness remains more culturally sacred than justice.

‘This is #Labour’s poll tax. Its tuition fees. Its Partygate. Just as the Iraq war was for Tony Blair, #DisabilityCuts is the moral stain that will mark #Starmer’s government and the party for years to come.

Severely disabled and ill people are going to be starved, isolated and degraded as a result of this policy. No Labour MP who backs it should be forgiven.’

The Labour welfare rebels are right. This hounding of disabled people will damage the party for years to come

Opposition is mounting and No 10 is preparing a raft of concessions. But whatever happens next, the moral stain will remain, says Guardian columnist Frances Ryan
