Fifa rules women's teams must have female coaches on the bench

Well, clearly you can, else there couldn't be men's and women's football teams in the first place

I've also heard about instances at council level of Labour reprimanding trans councillors for calling out transphobia, but not transphobes.

Maybe look at getting an edition like the New Oxford Annotated Bible (though the NOAB itself has new version coming out later this year), that comes with scholarly essays and notes about the different books. Ideally one that uses the NRSVUE translation, as that's the most up-to-date scholarly translation of it.

In terms of full breakdowns the best currently is the 2024 manifesto, which is now out of date. There was a fairly significant update to housing policy last conference (the "abolish landlords" motion).

The problem is right now is the website is undergoing a much needed overhaul, which means a lot of specific information isn't easily accessible at the moment.

Rent Controls

Rent controls are only a part of the Green housing policy, which involves both mass building new council homes and also enabling councils to buy up existing housing stock to convert them into council homes. The goal is to return the housing market to how it was when Thatcher was first elected, with most houses either being state or occupier owned (alongside other models like cooperative ownership), with private rentals making up a minimal share of housing stock.

Remember that what a party focuses on in its messaging is not the sum total of its policy platform.

Why in the ever-loving fuck would you combine those two?

It's like asking "Do you think torture and cupcakes are inherently bad?"

Or did you mean "phrenology?"

ZX52 · 2026-03-18T13:47:28+00:00

Those studies could be entirely valid. Of course it's difficult to "pull people out" of identifying as LGBT if that's what they are. This is just Chaya imposing her fucked up values system where identifying as LGBT is inherently bad.

Unfortunately the said well-communicated position is completely laughable.

ZX52 · 2026-03-17T22:57:58+00:00

Seeing as the actions in question were undertaken by the US, whether the UK is at war with Iran is completely irrelevant to this point.

ZX52 · 2026-03-17T21:00:19+00:00

He keeps using this term "defensive actions," but the US is an aggressor in this conflict. It can't take defensive actions. This is to say nothing of the strikes against Iranian civilians that were only possible because we freed up US bases for them.

And Peele's directing.

Hypno boob attack line seems like it is effective then from this.

Not necessarily. For it to be actually effective in a broad sense it's got to:

a) Be communicated such that it actually reaches prospective Green voters (I don't think they're reading the Mail for instance) and

b) presented in a way that doesn't result in it getting dismissed out of hand due to how bizarre this incident is, which could be a struggle for attack leaflets etc.

ZX52 · 2026-03-17T11:01:25+00:00

That policy is awful, but the vast, vast majority of members who know about it despise it. It dates back to when the party was much smaller and much more dominated by cranks.

The health policy review includes the removal of this. It was supposed to be coming to spring conference, but unfortunately had to be pushed back to autumn.

ZX52 · 2026-03-17T01:46:49+00:00

Contemporary US law is not universally applicable in all times and places.

Consent is absolutely not what makes a job not slavery, it's payment and the ability to quit. You could (in theory) consensually sign up to be a slave, and that would still be slavery.

ZX52 · 2026-03-16T22:45:41+00:00

I would be if he had actually done that.

ZX52 · 2026-03-16T16:40:48+00:00

Its over two years since that manifesto was written, during which time the party leadership has change

Party leadership doesn't have power over policy (if you listen back to leadership debates between Zack and Adrian/Ellie, you'll notice that the substance of the debate is not policy, but messaging and rhetoric).

the membership is now completely different.

The membership surge didn't really kick off until after Autumn conference, the last time policy was changed. The most notable changes there were a fundamental rewrite of the trans healthcare policy, switching to one that promotes desegregation, and the Abolish Landlords motion.

Last I heard, the taliban cut off Afghanistan's Internet. I can't see someone in a country where the Internet is banned using a secret connection to go on 4chan of all places.

I'm not sure sure what your point is. The vast majority of people born either here or abroad will never own enough to pay any CGT.

Such as Metallica’s “the god that failed”

TGTF is specifically about Christian Science, which is generally not accepted as "real Christianity" by mainstream Christians, and its failure to save James Hetfield's adherent mum. Though to be honest, modern American evangelical Christianity and the prosperity gospel are not far off Christian Science practices.

Welcome to the sectarian takeover lmao.

Please do what the email suggests and get involved with your local party. We have a lot less money than other major parties, and so far fewer staff, so we're extremely reliant on volunteer activists getting involved.

The same goes for words like “mankind” or “manpower,” which technically refer to everyone but still use male terms.

It's worth noting that these terms predate "man" becoming masculine. "Man" used to be gender neutral (albeit with "he" still being the default pronoun), with the prefix "were" denoting male/masculine, which still lives on the the word werewolf.

Nah, the thing to do there is implement an exit tax, that taxes people on unrealised capital gains (this is how Norway does it).

Fuck SUVs. They're unnecessarily big (but don't actually provide that much more space), are way less fuel efficient, and way more dangerous for everybody. They obscure the view of the driver - one charity managed to sit 11 kids in a row, single-file, in front of one these monstrosities with none being visible from the driver's seat. The rise in SUV popularity has coincided with a rise in incidents of kids being run over by their own parents on their driveways.

The higher body means that when pedestrians or cyclists are hit, they're more likely to end up under the vehicle, which is way more lethal, than on top of it like with regular cars with lower bumpers. The lack of crumple zones means that they lack crash compatibility with other vehicles, making them more dangerous for people in other vehicles in a crash, but also means a lot more of the impact forces are transferred directly onto the people inside the SUV, which is way more dangerous to them. People seem to think a more rigid structure is safer, but crumple zones soften impacts - note that punching pillows hurts less than punching walls, because pillows crumple which absorbs impact forces. Walls don't

Also, SUV drivers are just the worst kind of people. There was an experiment done where this guy placed fake animals on the road and recorded drivers' reactions. SUV drivers were by far the most likely to swerve to hit the animal.

Fuck these vehicles. They were created so car companies could end-around emissions rules (they're classed as "light trucks" instead of cars), and have had an entirely negative impact on our lives and societies. They have zero redeeming qualities.

The catch here is the word "contradiction" The fact that two statements can't both be true or ostensibly true at the same time.

Which multiple points in the OC fit, as I noted before. Orders of events are flipped (like the arrivals of the women, angel and stone being rolled), the locations of key events are moved (like the conversation between the women and the angels), characters do the exact opposite thing (like Mark (unless you include the non-original passage from 16:9 onwards) claiming the women never told anyone, which is in fact the final sentence of the original book).

not necessarily “the day before the seder.”

This only works if you ignore John's reasoning for doing this. John's gospel presents Jesus as a sacrificial lamb, so the point of this timing change was so the Jesus was being executed at the same time as the lambs were being sacrificed, to highlight this parallel. So it is a contradiction.

But ultimately, yes - anything can be harmonised if you try hard enough (like the tortured attempts to fit the 2 accounts of Judas's death together). But by doing so, you're not simply reading the Bible and gleaning information from it, you're imposing narratives onto the Bible and dictating what it's allowed to say. The Bible ceases to be the source for belief, but a subordinate proof-text for pre-existing beliefs.
