After a pretty terrible start to their election campaign, it seems the Tories are retreating to their safe space of culture war nonsense: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c0kkvkkejgno

Depressing how trans people, asylum seekers, and those on benefits matter so little to people in power that they are happy to use them for nothing other than to try and score political points.

And that is exactly what they are doing (and explicitly targeting those who could potentially switch to Reform, which could be the tipping point for losses in many seats. To think they are fighting for votes from the racists, bigots and elderly purely to save their toxic party.

Shameful but not suprising


If it splits the nasty party vote between Conservatives and Reform thus letting Labour in then all the better.

Agree I’d be happier with the outcome but just sickens me that so many people will still vote for that party truly only care about their party staying in power and what they can personally get from the situation.

They are truly a bunch of self-serving Xenophobic, homophobic and racist scumbags and, generally speaking, anyone that votes for them is at least 1 of those four things too in my experience

For people who will invariably claim that they want to 'protect women and young people' they sure have some weird ideas about how to do it.

Was just so deflating to hear this being served up again.
Whilst there are difficulties yet to be resolves regarding patricipation in sports, it feels like another unnecessary attack on a vulnerable demographic.
The risk of assault is generally wheeled out as the reason we need to do it.
I'm a huge advocate for safe spaces for women and girls and one attack is one too many, but what data underpins the arguement that men ( as that is the clear suggestion) are transitioning or claiming to transition in order to gain access to women only safe spaces?

Distortion becomes somehow pure in its wildness.

The crazy thing is all this stuff is imported from the States, where religion plays a big part, but religion no longer plays much, if any part, in the UK.


Yes, this. And look where it's taking the States. Very scary indeed.
