I’ve decided to write a thread on equal pay law, since there are some misunderstandings. Equal Pay provisions have reached the news in the last year after several councils declared "bankruptcy" following settlements with female workers. Councils have been forced to increase…
Equity and Trusts Act lol
A lady at the SUTR protest in Epping said people need to respect “The Equity And Trust 2010” and “1998 Human Rights.” “Last year I nearly went mental because of the way they treated me. People should be treated fairly, and not with race,” she added outside the station

Why do we let half-educated tenement Scots run our English press ? Because their craving for social status makes them obedient retainers ?
A young constituent wanted to apply for the MI6 internship programme. He discovered he was ineligible because he's a white man. The Government says this is fine - as the intelligence agencies must become "more diverse". The Equality Act is - yet again - the problem.

Communities on Twitter who just love to back each other up when someone they don't like posts: "OMG - let's get this reported - this needs shutting down!" What an existence.
Frenchie FAKE NEWS I'm afraid.
Fun fact: one year during the Napoleonic Wars England’s crops failed. Napoleon lifted the Continental Blockade and allowed the Brits to import grain. If he hadn’t, it’s likely the English would have starved and he would have completed the conquest of Europe. But, of course, the…

There is another aspect - this protest, while I might be able to gain access because I am over 18 - a 16-year old would NOT be able to gain access to this news. The same Government that censors their ability to see news - is also providing them with the vote. So you can vote -…
For years, politicians promised the Online Safety Act would target only illegal content — protecting kids from porn, exploitation and suicide forums — without touching free speech. But from the moment age verification checks took effect on 25 July, that reassurance began to…
