Taliban praises US Supreme Court for clamping down on women’s rights
After the US Supreme Court overturned the landmark Roe vs Wade decision, Taliban officials in Afghanistan have warmly welcomed the move and praised the thinking behind it. Overturning an almost fifty-year-old decision that protects a pregnant woman’s liberty to choose to have an abortion without excessive government restriction will make the United States a much more more pleasant land.

US Supreme Court will restrict 2nd Amendment after school shootings positioned as 560-week abortions
With the rest of the world – and most of America – utterly baffled as to why any single sane person doesn’t desire a ban on metal cylinders throwing tiny high-velocity metal projectiles literally through the flesh and bone of other human beings in a non-military context, a marketing executive has implemented a rebranding exercise designed to test the priorities of the nutcase right-wing supreme court activist justices.

They CHOSE to sleep on the floor. It is still a free country

Prince Charles right to accept €1m in cash from Qatari sheikh, cabinet minister says
Of course he was right. Why this media beat up?
Didn't the Independent have something else to cover. Poor imagination.

Who cares about the optics, if it does good for British people?

Wakefield voters chose Labour – the Tories should be honest about why
""He failed to say what that plan was, but insisted that the Conservatives would show they can deliver, which will be news to people

              on a housing list
              waiting for routine cancer screening
               awaiting an operation
               trying to get a GP appointment
               trying to get on a train or plane
               trying to get anyone charged for the increasing crime wave."
   That about says it all

I thought she was going to be his new ethics advisor.

Keir Starmer looks every inch the cardboard man. Grey and insipid, more concerned about what the Tories might say than actually standing up for working people he’s supposed to represent
Ahh, go ahead: tell us what you REALLY feel about Starmer

Gary Lineker says he suffered racist abuse during football career because of ‘darkish skin’
I can't figure out if this is  a joke or if Gary is trying to get in on feeling a victim?

Prince William has just done 40-year-olds a huge disservice
Just because you’ve reached 40 doesn’t mean you’re ready for a quiet life, retirement or death

Boris Johnson defends ‘draconian’ plan to use electronic tags on asylum seekers
Nah. People who break the law should not be treated any differently than upstanding citizens. You wouldn't tag someone convicted of sexual assault, would you? Or put them on a register? Or have no-go areas?

How will the privileges committee investigation into Boris Johnson work?
It won't

Boris Johnson breaks promise to deliver 100 million Covid vaccines to poor countries

Amnesty International UK is ‘colonialist and institutionally racist’, damning inquiry concludesI know of no group in the UK that is not, and that includes the BEO, BLM, NBPA, MetBPA, etc.

Study finds Medicare for All could have prevented 200,000 deaths during the pandemic
But that would be socialized medicine.   We would rather that more people died than have socialized medicine.  (That is, except for health insurance, where we think the socialization of risk is okay.)

I’m starting to think Keir Starmer doesn’t really watch Love Island
Who cares? This re-warmed opinion is what passes for NEWS these days?

She Wrote a Dystopian Novel. What Happened Next Was Pretty Dystopian.
"But even if Newman’s novel had “erased” transgender people, it doesn’t deserve to be denounced outright. Fiction wasn’t meant to be run through some kind of moral purity test." 
Of course it does. If you don't cater to whatever transgenders' want, you are evil incarnate.
Transgenders do not forgive.

Inclusive, gender-neutral language helps us all – it doesn’t take away ‘woman-ness
The problem is that gender neutral does not ask, it dictates.
If you aren't inclusive, you are the enemy.

Report Reveals Sharp Rise in Transgender Young People in the U.S.
The problem is that once they identify as trans, they my be stuck in that description with no easy way out. Teenagers will do lots of thing to get attention. Adults are usually not helpful here, because they see things more in black and white rather than as a continuum.

He will throw ANYONE under the bus for self-aggrandisement.

Mixed ethinc background nurses ‘twice as likely as black and Asian colleagues to get promoted’
Perhaps this is what the headline should read.  
The headline "White nurses ‘twice as likely as black and Asian colleagues to get promoted" is false and show institutional racial bias against whites.
Indeed, looking at the data, those of mixed ethnic extraction of more likely than white nurses to get promoted, although the difference between the two groups are not significant.  See:
