- Comment on Do not cut benefits for disabled young people, dozens of UK charities urge ministers 16 hours ago:
Cutting disability support causes misery and homelessness, which is way more expensive to the state than just giving the person money.
Temporary accommodation slumlords take a huge cut, and the mental health hit of making people homeless prevents them from getting a job for up to a year or two after the change, also costing them extra in therapy etc.
Cutting welfare always costs more than spending on it. You are a moron if you thing that trying to scrounge pennies from the disadvantaged makes sense.
- Comment on Burnham scraps restrictions on disabled people’s bus passes in England 1 day ago:
It’s kind of insane they were time restricted before. Having a disabilities doesn’t mean you can always choose when you have to travel.
A good move for sure.

Actually, that debunking was false. The Reddit thread is not accurate. See this video… if you really care enough about this.

Yeah I’m way more afraid of far-right racists than foreign nationals.

TACC do great work.
This is one of the less interesting pieces, an open letter to try and get those reports JK Rowling bullied them into taking down back up.
They don’t make all of their work obvious, but one thing they do is collaborate with other groups to write complaints to the Global Alliance of National Human Rights Institutions to try and get the EHRC revoked as a human rights organisation, or at least force it to change.
tacc.org.uk/…/trans-exile-network-and-lemkin-inst…
They also make a lot of FOIs to expose the EHRC’s wrongdoings, and post about them occasionally. Here’s one made on the back of an FOI I made: tacc.org.uk/…/trust-me-bro-or-the-tale-of-falkner…. I’m not strictly part of TACC, but I help out very occasionally.

It’s isn’t law though?
Asserting that it is is not a neutral stance. It’s a transphobic one. They want it to be law, but it isn’t and doesn’t have to be.

- Comment on UK court rules anti-Zionism 'legally protected belief' 2 weeks ago:
From what I’ve heard, decisions in employment tribunals are not generally binding and do not set precedents
However, they do make it easier to make the same argument in the future, as the judge can lean on the explanations published in a previous tribunal.

When being “gender critical” is brought to legal action, it is not typically not about your internally held beliefs, it’s about harassing others and discrimination.
If a white supremacist had a firmly held belief black people were inferior and they held a role in HR or talent acquisition, they would be unfit for the role and should be fired. Similarly if they were found to harass black people in the workplace.
One thing the gender criticals, like white supremacists and religious fundamentalists don’t understand is this:
Your political views do not outweigh the rights of others

- Comment on British public more likely to prefer Count Binface wins Clacton by-election than Nigel Farage 5 weeks ago:
I’ve heard it’s full.of old conservatives, so probably Farage will win. I’d love to be wrong though.
If it’s close, it’s still a humiliation so it’s a win in my book.
- Comment on MP groped breasts of two women, trial hears 5 weeks ago:
Yeah, it depends on the transgression.
If it’s transphobia and sucking up to billionaires or the Israeli state, you get promoted.
If it’s something that is actually viewed as a crime then it’s more like this… sometimes.
The message is “you weren’t good enough at hiding your crimes, you’re making us look bad”. Many of them often know about those transgressions, but they’ll only distance themselves if they come out to the public.
- Comment on MP groped breasts of two women, trial hears 5 weeks ago:
I was curious as to why theh didn’t mention his party, turns out he doesn’t have one, but is an ex-Conservative
Elected as a Conservative, he had the whip withdrawn in May 2025, and now sits as an independent.
