@HebrideanHecate @TriptychTwinsRidesAgain Trade Unions have not been useful to working people for a long time. They only benefit the political activists and those with cushy jobs on the payroll.
Change my mind. -

@HebrideanHecate It's not the *trans* that people have a problem with, because nobody even knows what it means.
It's the men pretending to be women when they insert themselves into female-only spaces that causes problems for women. It doesn't matter if there's one woman in there or thousands; it doesn't matter if the women there are friends or relations of them or not; it doesn't matter if the men are lovely or not; it doesn't matter if any, all or none of the women there have suffered violent or sexual trauma or not. We don't give a toss if men identify as Marxists, Llamas, feminists, grapefruit, anything at all or nothing; they're still men and they're not allowed in. -

@RadicalCartoons Isn't it interesting that the people who place themselves in the elite class are often members of the *intersectional* groups that they seek to vilify in order to elevate other groups. It's almost as if they're saying *we pretend to hate people like us because it's fashionable to do so, but if we promote your nonsense then you won't cancel us and we'll look good.*
I'm not hopeful about Europe. It has a love affair with totalitarianism of all shades. -

@HebrideanHecate @TriptychTwinsRidesAgain @RadicalCartoons It's everywhere.
Look at the revolving door of disgraced councillors, politicians, CEOs of NGOs etc. They fuck up and move on to fuck up over and over again, at high salaries. -

@TriptychTwinsRidesAgain @HebrideanHecate @RadicalCartoons It's how activism works.
The rest of us have family, friends, work, hobbies that take up our time and enrich our lives.
These people only have their activism, so they are prepared to spend their lives promoting their cause. They get into positions of power and influence and can push for whatever their agenda is, almost unopposed, because the rest of us are busy and don't understand the level and nature of what drives them. This is how, before the rest of us even notice it's a *thing* these people and their cronies are everywhere and have got their way on stuff we'd say no to. -

@RadicalCartoons @HebrideanHecate It's been going on everywhere for years, despite some claims to the contrary. It's how the phrase "Bob's Your Uncle" came into common parlance. -

@RadicalCartoons @HebrideanHecate You mean that all the people involved in pushing through an illegal policy based on ideology might all be connected through family and might have got into these positions of power through family connections and party fealty?
Well, who'd've thunk it. -

@polarisera I have no idea what it's like in the UK, but I did meet a woman in 2021 who worked as some sort of pastoral support in a UK university. She admitted that the students had been told that there would be in-person tutoring and lectures until the places were filled and the money was in; then the students were told that everything would be on-line. She knew about this lie, but did it anyway to keep her job.
I suspect several grifts are going on. -

@AnungIkwe @polarisera @HebrideanHecate I used to teach and can confirm that some of the nastiest people I've met were in the teaching profession. -

@HebrideanHecate So many of the problems in the last few years could have been stopped before they even got started if more people had stood up for their mates.
Epidemic of cowardice. -

@HebrideanHecate She may be on her last knockings, but she's a tough old bird.
We wait and see.
Thanks for your kind words. -

It's tempting to pop a quid in the pot. He could have a pamper session, like having his lady balls waxed. -

@Sherri_Ingrey No wonder they wanted it held in secret.
