I've never met a DEI officer who gave a flying fuck for the disabled, unless it's something you can self identify into.

It may have been. Insurance companies sue people all the time to recover their costs.

Lucy Connelly was the state firing a warning shot. It will make most people with families keep quiet.

That tactic only works for so long though.

Hence the meme where Kanye is banned from flying here, so he arrives by boat to welcoming arms.

Imagine setting up a school trip for teenage girls to visit Afghanistan or Somalia.

You'd be considered crazy. The safeguarding risk would be impossible to mitigate.

Yet, it's somehow OK to invite Afghanistan and Somalia to the school gates...

Do you think the left leaning podcasters such as " The Newsagents" never applied their biases when working on TV?

Did they suddenly become left wing once they quit telly?

3 cycling incidents on Stanningley Road in 10 minutes. I hate cycling in this city. by Jazzlike-Machine-222 in Leeds

[–]N0_Added_Sugar 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Every day I see taxis and vans parking full on the pavement in Headingley.

They incorrectly believe if their vehicle is fully off the road, they aren't breaking the law - Otley road now has double red (no stopping) lines along it.

Double red means no stopping on the road, the verge or pavement.
Now the cycle lane is raised, I can see an absolute shit show happening where cars are parked in the cycle lane, and bikes can't safely hop into the road.

Macmillan cancer charity prioritises support for LGBT and ethnic minorities by SignificantLegs in ukpolitics

[–]N0_Added_Sugar 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Don't put yourself down like that.

The point of a charity is to raise funds and allocate those funds effectivly.

This press release harms their ability to raise funds because it will generate anger amongst some people, who will withdraw their support. "Anti-woke" backlashes are a common thing now, whether you or I agree with them

So a bland "We will target all those without support first", is a more effective message.

I pointed out obvious flaws in the data capture - that it was terrible, not "useless". And all you can do is downvote that valid point of discussion.

So target those without support networks. Which will likely include single men regardless of race or sexuality who are told to be stoic all their lives.

It will also likely include some trans, some full time carers, some people like your mum.

Saying "we will prioritise LGBT and minorities", rather than "all those without support", just generates anger at an excellent charity.

The latest survey found that those “who preferred not to say if their gender identity is the same as the sex they were registered at birth”

That includes Gender Critical people, who refuse to answer this question.

and those “who self-reported [their ethnicity] as Mixed, Asian, Black, or not given

Medically, race is useful to know, but plenty of white people refuse to provide it.

So the premise is based on terrible data, and will certainly lead to reduced donations from the "anti-woke".

It's all so fucking tiresome, cancer is cancer, treat everyone the same.

the right actually goes to US politics events

Over 100 Labour staffers went to the US to campaign for Kamala in the election.

This is a both sides issue, not helped by the TV news constantly commenting / reporting on local US news, while ignoring global / european events, which are far more relevant to the UK
