WE ARE BROKE.
Ukraine's Zelenskyy government is proving it's more corrupt by the day.
Yet our new PM Burnham has just turned up in Kyiv wearing a dodgy polo shirt grinning like a Cheshire cat signing another blank cheque to keep this ludicrous war going.
God help us...
I agree that the typos are indicative of sloppy work, but the corrected sentences often seem to be vacuous also. It's not just spelling or grammar that's the problem - it's catchphrase soup shot through with woolly thinking.
I suspect the "soup" aspect is a by-product of cut/paste harvesting from other works. The second sentence pictured probably came almost straight out the MIND publication, possibly with "The emphasis on" decoratively but meaninglessly tacked on the front.
It's so unlike trans activists to misrepresent opponents' arguments! I'm shocked, I tell you. SHOCKED!
Since you've innocently misunderstood the point, let me spell out the obvious even more clearly.
Let's take as an example a woman with MRKH syndrome, who was born with a congenital abnormality: an absent or undeveloped uterus. Notwithstanding that anomaly, she has a reproductive system organised around producing eggs instead of sperm, so she is unambiguously female. No male can have MRKH syndrome; one might even say that MRKH syndrome represents conclusive proof that the individual born with it is female.
I myself was born with a congenital abnormality: a bleeding disorder. I don't consider myself less human because of it, but my blood is demonstrably defective. That still doesn't make me a brand new type of human being, nor does it mean an inability to clot should be considered a standard trait of all human beings.
It's my good fortune that there's no anti-science ideological movement currently trying to hijack bleeding disorders for its own ends. Should that ever happen, though, I can promise you I'll fight to the bitter end not to have my medical history reduced to a glib and ignorant talking point, as gender identity ideologues insist on doing to men and women with DSDs.
The Guston, Kingsdown & St Margaret’s by-election is to elect a District Councillor on Dover District Council.
Jez Hermer MBE of @RestoreBritain is the only candidate on the centre-right/right who actually lives in the ward. The Reform UK and Conservative Party candidates do not. The Green and Labour candidates do. Jez is the one who can stop them.
He has campaigned successfully for local causes, he’s a businessman and veteran, and he’s proved on multiple occasions that his passion and loyalty is not to himself, but is to the service of his country and his community.
PCBarnes123 uses "lead" here (more often spelt "lede" in journalistic contexts, to distinguish it from typesetting lead = pb/plumbum) to mean the main point of a news article. Specifically in this case, that labour gains more than reform if conservatives are not an option.
Which is probably bollocks already, but it will be even more so after burnham has had a couple of years to completely trash the uk economy, when run by suicidal one-term-only mp's who don't expect to win another election.
Incase you’re confused…
Under Sheinbaum, Mexico has shifted toward greater alignment with the US and taken steps to restrict Chinese goods and investment into North America.
Under Carney, Canada has deliberately expanded their economic ties with China.
Release the deal, @MarkJCarney.
Canadians have every right to know exactly what was on the table, and why you chose to walk away from our largest trading partner.
No more secrecy. No more spin. No more hiding behind closed doors.
Release the deal.
Hydrogen is just an expensive form of storing electricity.
In Germany, over 60% of the railways are electric already. But for passenger transport on the other 40%, where they cannot recharge every 50-150km, then Hydrogen is an expensive solution for getting rid of diesels. Especially for a country which got convinced by bad actors to shut down its shiny nuclear reactors...

Green hydrogen is a crazy idea, I have been saying that for years.
The conversion of electricity to hydrogen has an efficiency of 70-75%, the conversion of hydrogen back to electricity has an efficiency of 50-55%.
World-improving Green-Left people cannot do math. They do not like exact sciences.
We don't have concrete bollards in our public spaces because of 'issues with social cohesion'.
They are there because Islamic terrorist kept ramming cars and trucks into pedestrians in service of their nihilistic religious beliefs.
The obfuscation of language to conceal Islam's role is shameful, dishonest, and causing additional harm.
Just say it - Islam has a problem.
And stop punishing innocent Western citizens who did NOTHING WRONG and did not ask for this to be inflicted on their high-trust, peaceful societies.
Giving mayors the power to overturn Council Planning Committee's, will result in those towns with Muslim mayors and there are an ever growing number, being inundated with Mosque's, seemingly one on every road. They are numerous already in Towns like Luton and Bradford etc
This would be hysterically funny if it were not serious.
I watched the Pan Am 103 Netflix series. It's good enough by television standards. What jumps out is how carefully the BBC co-produced show avoids the words "Islamic terrorism" — everything gets framed as the work of political groups or governments.
Sorry, @JeninYounesEsq, the show didn't invent an association between Palestinian factions and terrorism. The PFLP-GC — a Palestinian group led by Ahmed Jibril — was the prime suspect in this very bombing, investigated by the FBI, Scotland Yard, and West German police starting in 1988. That's the historical record, not a Netflix script. They did that work themselves, long before Netflix existed.
When I was a schoolboy 60 years ago, before anyone gave a rat's arse about immigration in the UK, the standard joke was that a sheep tied to a lamp post was a Welsh brothel.
