Trans+ Pride London 2025

An estimated 100,000 people joined the Trans+ Pride event yesterday in London as they marched from near BBC Broadcasting House, past Downing Street, and on to Westminster Palace to Parliament Square Gardens. It was spectacular & emotional to watch.

“The message was clear: we will not be erased. Our existence is natural, historic, and enduring. You can try to take away our rights, but you will never remove us from society. We are a part of humanity, and the public will not stand by while harm is done to our community.”

Lewis G Burton, one of the founding members of London Trans+ Pride

I applaud Starmer for at beginning to implement promised reforms.

'Boris Johnson, the Conservative former prime minister, breached the rules on taking jobs after government on three separate occasions without facing a proper sanction’

Standards bodies (see #ACOBA #OfCom #OfWat for examples) are toothless. Set up to give the illusion that the British State actrually cares about corruption.

Superinjunctions

A wonderful way of enabling prosecutions to occur before someone knows there is one - after all if every supeinjunctions was announced as it was made…

A good piece warning of government over reach, worthy of an autocratic regime who prefer people to believe they are fully democratic. [shurely shum mishtake this ish nu nu Labour, it would never cross #Starmer or #Coopers tiny minds ].

Be very afraid.
