NEW: For Women Scotland win again! Scottish government's policy of putting men in female prisons ruled unlawful.
Full judgment: https://t.co/1ApTIJfBV2
A 17 year old girl, with 2‰ blood alcohol level, gets raped by 3 men outside of a hospital.
All charges dropped bc judge claims "if 3 men bring you to some brushes, it should be obvious what's about to happen", and the girl is ordered to pay 16 000 euros for legal costs.
This is the Finnish justice system. 😶
"EXCLUSIVE: Feargal Sharkey urges ministers to 'seize' Thames Water as nationalisation looms."
It's time to end it and that time is now.

One of the ‘trans women’ openly boasting about going to the women’s pond and defying the law last week included Sarah Jane Baker, a man who served 30 years for kidnap and torture.
This is who the GLP fights for…
Soaring bills. Burst pipes. Sewage in our rivers and seas.
How many more times do we need to say it: the privatisation of water has been a total and utter failure. Bring it back into public ownership, now.
"Environment Agency accused of 'lip-service' on sewage crisis after downgrading 96% of serious pollution incidents."
Yep you read that correctly, not only has the EA being allowing water companies to mark their own homework they've being joining in the fun down grading the most serious pollution incidents to get them off their books, close the files and hope no-one notices.
Well, they've been caught.

"Thames Water lifeline ‘not enough’ to avert state takeover."
Thames Water has been bankrupt for years and customers have been paying for their own exploitation. Govt needs to end it, TODAY!

Very much hoping that this heartfelt message from @jan_murray will prompt
@LushLtd and @ChelmsCouncil to realize how much offence they have caused with their celebration of mastectomy scars as “stripes”.
So appears I'm not liked by at least 1 senior govt adviser.
That's a badge I'll happily pick up off the floor and wear with dignity and honour. Here's a hint. Sort out the water industry, fix our rivers and you need never speak my name ever again.
Massive thank you once again to Patrick Galbraith @PaddyGalbraith and all at the @Telegraph for the coverage and support.

Fantastic response - On the way to 150K signed
https://t.co/J5ADoh2hre
Thank you if you signed and shared and have not submitted to apathy or despair.
Nor fallen for the shameful 'takes years, too expensive, will stop progress' lies we have called out from @DefraGovUK
Next, we will ask the big NGOs if they will support the public having a say.
If you haven't already - and please share and ask them to share and keep sharing - this should be our water, but it became a cash machine.
You can fight back.
82% of people in England want our water in public ownership
All the experts are clear that privatisation of water has failed
So why is the government holding on to it?
Maybe this is why @CatHobbs
Dear Lush (cc Chelmsford City Council),
As a woman who had half a breast removed last year due to cancer, I am writing to raise my concerns about your “Proud of My Stripes” window display.
I am also, on behalf of other women who have experienced breast cancer, respectfully requesting its removal.
Because mastectomies are not a fashion statement, an identity marker or something to be celebrated.
They are something women undergo because they are ill, because they are frightened, because they are trying to stay alive.
Around 59,000 women are diagnosed with breast cancer in the UK every year. Many will undergo surgery - a mastectomy, lumpectomy or other procedure.
Others choose preventive mastectomies because they carry a high-risk BRCA gene mutation.
If a woman chooses to have her breasts removed to affirm a gender identity, that is her personal choice.
I honestly don’t know the number of women who have elective mastectomies for this reason.
What I do know is that it is a tiny number compared with those for whom breast surgery is medically necessary and not something to be celebrated.
I think I speak for many women who have experienced breast cancer - and for their families - when I say this:
Breast removal surgery is not something I regard as cute, playful or empowering.
Nor is it something I believe retailers should be celebrating.
For that reason, I am requesting that the display be removed and that @ChelmsCouncil apologise for promoting it on social media.
Yours sincerely,
Janet Murray
Sturgeon demanded
women's groups had an inclusive trans policy to qualify for govt funding.
The women refused, and Sturgeon withdrew every penny.
A massive transfer of essential government funding for rape crisis and breastfeeding centres went from women to men.
Men who claim to be women have accommodations in society specifically for them but they don’t want them. The singular goal for these men is to go into women’s spaces.
Giggle has applied to have Giggle v Tickle heard in the High Court.
“We have filed for special leave in the High Court… Because the federal court is saying men can be women in law & making women only spaces effectively unisex, we are going to the High Court to challenge that.”
This is difficult to watch, it's embarrassing, it's enraging, it's shameful.
Emma Reynolds the Secretary of State for the Environment and David Hill the head of water at Defra appeared before MPs on Tuesday where they repeated the same old lie, that water company shareholders invest their money in the companies and we, the bill payers, pay them back over 10, 15, 20, 30 years.
Even Ofwat have owned up, that's a lie the £104 billion "private sector investment" is coming directly out of your pockets, your bank account. For God sake just tell the truth.
Barry Gardiner, you're a star. 👏👏👏
In the last two days BBC News has run separate stories about the Pride flag not being flown at Barnsley, St Helens and Calderdale town halls this year.
But no stories about a cross-dressing Pride organising paedophile being found guilty of breaching his bail order
The conclusion I draw from the Early Day Motion that more than 130 MPs are entirely relaxed at the prospect of continued unlawful sex discrimination seen in recent judgments like the Darlington Nurses and LS v NHSE. As an experienced equality lawyer that sadden me greatly
Hello all. A quick update from me.
My sex screen assay is progressing well.
I promised rapid: I can detect SRY from a cheek swab in about 30 minutes. I am currently testing whether I can drop it to 10 minutes without compromising reliability.
I promised cheap: The current cost per assay is about £2. I am currently testing whether I can drop this to below the pound line, and it’s very promising.
I promised accessible: The assay could be run by any grassroots sports coach, school nurse, and my Mum.
I promised on-site: This is where my lab efforts are currently focussed. I’ve always held “from the UK to Uganda” as a principle, and ensuring easy deployment is crucial. I’m currently learning a lot of materials science…
The other main push is setting up various blinded, larger-scale tests. This will require lots of form filling.
If anyone wants to help me hit my final budget target, my crowdfunder is here.
