Might have got a few more months/years out of my dad if they'd actually taken him seriously instead of fobbing him off for two weeks before discovering his pancreatic cancer at an ultrasound to prove it was actually kidney stones causing his textbook pancreatic cancer symptoms.

It's starting to sound plausible that not even they know why they did it.

Labour should have come out and said: that given the ambiguity in the law has been resolved but in a way that doesn’t account for trans people, we will be bringing forward updated legislation to close the gap.

110%

so..... why? why did they cut it down?

There are THREE sides in the trans debate (besides not interested in it).

You are either pro trans rights, anti trans rights, or a russian bot sent here to pretend to be one of those previous two and drag the debate into the sewer as much as possible.

careful, this could be just what reform need to revive their leave the ECHR bullshit.

The tory philosophy probably looks pretty good if you gloss over all the taxpayer money spent propping up the supposedly profit making, corporation tax paying entities that bought into their privatisation. Also if you ignore the dire performance of private water vs scottish water (publicly owned).

yeah so apart from that (the fact it gave us the worst of both worlds), the tory philosphy probably sounds like it'd work.

Well that eveidently happened at Scottish water, their infrastructure investment is like 35% higher per household than it's private counterparts.

Do you, for example, pay 10k every year forever, or pay 100k now, once?

After 10 years have passed, you’d wish you’d paid the 100k.

Question is, how long is that 10 years in this situation.

Ah, I see the 'Truth Unconfortable for Cretins' chief has uttered another uncomfortable truth.

Why do people always have to wait until he fucks them before they realise he's a fucker?

ya I think it's a combination of factors causing them to do this, each of which comes back to that lack of investment.

Also, any time you wonder if a publicly owned system would be better remember we already have one, Scottish Water, and overall they perform better.

I suspect the main reason for her saying that is because it's true.

totally forgot I already commented on this post, saying almost the same thing...

And anyone with any balls would tell that fat orange fuck to go fuck himself.

But it is the next brexit.

Dropping Net zero targets and the tech development behind it will fuck this country over massively just like how leaving the EU has.

I doubt it will be as bad as leaving the EU, but it could be.

Farages futures is one where Britain pays everyone else, instead of us, to use the technology they developed to combat emisstions, get extra EV range etc etc.

We have a simple choice with net zero, we can try and be the ones that sells everyone else the solutions they need to stop destroying the planet, or we could be the one that bankrupts ourselves buying those (arguable inferior too) solutions off everyone else.

We're rapidly letting it slip through our hands because of these right wing idiots, but net zero could (have) potentially be(en) the UK's new Industrial revolution. Except this time we lead the way in saving the planet instead of destroying it.

Fusion power is the future. Excessive renewable power is the future. High tech energy storage is the future.

Not because I want it to be, because that's just how it's going to be

We can either be technological leaders in these areas, or we can be buying everyone else's solutions instead of selling our own.

I, for one, am looking forward to trans men waltzing into the ladies saying 'I gotta pee here, its the LAW'.

WE DIDN'T BURN HER!
