Is it normal practice @nhsfife that if a Junior Doctor makes an allegation about a nurse, the Dr is believed & the nurse has their reputation trashed by other staff members without even investigating the incident or asking the nurse about it?

This ruling does not erase protections for trans people. They remain rightly protected under the Equality Act under gender reassignment. No one should face harassment or discrimination but neither should women have to justify the need for boundaries that the law now affirms.

I agree with what Dianne Abbott said in her recent interview. I don’t agree with what she said in her Observer letter.
This is a really interesting and thoughtful piece about the value of talking to, and getting to know, people you really disagree with. I wish humanities academia was more filled with this.

The supposed mystification about the Sycamore Gap blokes’ motivation is funny. They’re dickheads. Dickheads is as dickheads does.
It cannot be said enough that all the witnesses and lawyers in Peggie arguing no-one knows what a woman is, if men are more violent, and getting the law wrong, were chosen to be where they are by senior public service managers & all paid for by taxation. Sanity had to fund raise
