- Comment on Transgender girls told to leave Girlguiding groups by September 2 days ago:
There’s (slightly) more context in the linked article. Basically they want to exclude boys because they’re called the Girl Guides. They can only do that lawfully under the Equality Act that recently said this was only designed to cover what you were born as. At least that’s their logic.
I don’t understand why they can’t ignore that unless they’re being pressured by people who hate trans people on a threat of being sued? Not very clear from the reporting.

- Comment on Weight-loss drugs alone will not solve UK’s obesity crisis, says Chris Whitty 2 weeks ago:
The thing is, weight loss should be about learning and easing yourself into the habits of 1. Healthy Eating 2. Adequate Exercise 3. Not sitting on your arse all day, hence I feel like giving people a hack to skip all that grind is not good - you avoid learning about how to take care of yourself in the process.
Whilst true, for a lot of people they have no will power or ability to change their habits of a lifetime without drug based stimuli. So it is to cater for them. Otherwise the NHS cost burden is simply far too high over the long run.

It’s like the gulf war 2 all over again. Except this time they’re not even pretending to involve the international community. They just cowboying it in.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Starmer reveals that he sought advice from god when he wanted join the war in the middle east just like Tony Blair.

Citizenship
The USA recognises dual citizenship. This means that you do not have to give up (renounce) your British citizenship to become a US citizen.
I don’t mean to be a dick but can you provide some source of evidence to what you’re saying because both the US and UK government websites disagree with your claim.
- Comment on Dual nationals to be denied entry to UK from 25 February unless they have British passport 5 weeks ago:
Kinda makes sense to me. I don’t understand the issue this brings up. If you’re a dual national and want to enter the UK (or the US as in the above example) carry your UK (or US) passport. Otherwise if you don’t want to then pay a large unnecessary sum of money for a shitty stamp.
I don’t get the outrage here. It’s not hard to carry a passport 🤷🏼♀️. What am I missing?
- Comment on Dual nationals to be denied entry to UK from 25 February unless they have British passport 5 weeks ago:
That’s not what this page says: www.usa.gov/dual-citizenship
Whether you were born an American citizen or became one through naturalization, if you have dual citizenship, you:
- Do not have to choose one nationality over the other. As a U.S. citizen, you may naturalize in another country without risking your U.S. citizenship.
- Comment on Dual nationals to be denied entry to UK from 25 February unless they have British passport 5 weeks ago:
But does the US require you to renounce your old citizenship like Spain?
