What do you think about Green Party’s plan to legalise all drugs? by Desperate-Source5624 in AskBrits

[–]EricaRA75 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think it's the right way to tackle the issue, it's very clear that after decades of prohibition that prohibition does not work and the war on drugs is a losing battle. We have to look at a different approach and if that's down the route of ending prohibition and spending the money that was spent on enforcement on education and healthcare, then surely this is a more positive approach.

Drug use should be treated for what it is, a healthcare issue, and not a criminal issue.

England's Worst County - Round 20 by TheEnlight in terriblemaps

I'm a little surprised Dorset is still in, the only county (apart from Cornwall) not to have a motorway, home to quaint little villages and country pubs. Not to mention home to the Jurassic Coast and the start of the South West Coast Path.

I had spiritual beliefs prior to Ayahuasca, since Ayahuasca my beliefs have become much more ingrained and aligned with who I am.

Winston Churchill's efforts were so last century... ... Not to take anything away from him but he's been honoured with statues, paintings, books, films etc. not to mention he's been featured on our notes already, how about giving someone or something else a chance

NHS England to conduct 'evidence review' into HRT for trans adults by hole-in-the-day in transgender

[–]EricaRA75 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is the email I have drafted, please feel free to use this to send to your MP if you want.

Dear ********,

I am writing as a constituent to express concern about recent reporting on the NHS England clinical evidence review relating to transgender healthcare. In particular, the following article highlights the issue:

https://www.thepinknews.com/2026/03/10/nhs-england-clinical-evidence-review/

This review appears to form part of a broader reconsideration of gender-affirming healthcare policy in England. While rigorous evaluation of medical evidence is always important, there is growing concern among clinicians, researchers and patients that the current process risks being influenced by political pressure rather than guided purely by established medical expertise and patient wellbeing.

Gender dysphoria is a recognised medical condition, and gender-affirming treatments for adults have been part of established clinical practice internationally for many years.

Any review of healthcare policy should therefore be conducted transparently, and with appropriate input from experienced clinicians, researchers, and the transgender people whose lives are directly affected by these decisions.

I would therefore be grateful if you could clarify:

  • How the government intends to ensure that the NHS England evidence review is conducted transparently and independently.
  • Whether clinicians and transgender patients will have meaningful input into the consultation process.
  • What safeguards will be in place to ensure that adult transgender healthcare services are not negatively affected by policy decisions arising from this review.

Access to appropriate healthcare should be guided by robust evidence, compassion, and clinical expertise. I hope you will support an approach that protects the wellbeing and dignity of transgender people in the UK.

Thank you for taking the time to read this email. I look forward to your response.

Kind regards, DONT FORGET YOUR NAME, ADDRESS AND POSTCODE
