Its so tiring of people trying to patch problems with "gendered bathrooms", "train cars only for women", "women parking lots" rather than actually solving real problems. These band aids should be a temporary solutions at best but here we are - argueing about gendered bathrooms in 2025.

The worst when people try to spin these as some sort of innovation. Especially for gendered train cars here in Japan was such a huge thing and I couldn't help but eye roll when instead of addressing perverts they just herd women into protected pens and put camera noise default on every smartphone that take 10 minutes to disable by actual criminals.

Isn't that why he helped remove actual labour people to make new, now more tory labour?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

Labour's been getting steadily more Tory since at least Blair. I just didn't realise how bad he was until his government started stepping up the evil shit. Wish we had a viable left option.

From a German perspective he awfully seems like a Tory

Guess my Canadian trans ass is boycotting the UK now too. It's been a long time coming anyway, Terf Island.

(Sorry Scotland, you're cool but also in a toxic relationship I can't be around right now. I hope we can be friends again some day)

What an absolute coward. Bowing down to the USA because Trump told him to. Fucking coward.
