Yes, but just make sure you don't binge drink the four days, which is just as bad.

Precisely.

That's not what I was talking about. I wasn't justifying or condemning the actions by the NHS. My post was about fairness in reporting the issue and people's knee-jerk reactions without full knowledge of the circumstances of what happened. I would have thought that was clear.

Well, aren't you a lovely human being? Advocating violence eh?

It would've been nice to have heard Rose's side of the story for balance. I'm sure it was discussed at the hearing but for some reason The Telegraph omitted to mention it. I wonder why? I cannot comment on the veracity of the accusations, nor can anyone here as we don't know the full facts. That won't stop the usual transphobic comments as we've seen. The usual procedure if intimidation is used in the workplace is to give the person a written warning. Was that done? Has the defendant been subject to bullying or intimidation and is responding? The defendant was given the ok to use the changing room. Regardless of anyone's views on transgender, Rose has done nothing wrong by using it. The case is not being brought against her but against the NHS who authorized her use of the changing room. Yet this article sets out to demonize her as the villain, as do the posters here. If intimidation has occurred from either side then there are workplace mechanisms for dealing with this. But that has nothing to do with with the supposed sexual harassment case.

Angela Rayner criticized the frozen pensions as unfair when she was just an MP a few years ago but since she's been in office the issue hasn't been mentioned.

As amusing as this thread is might I interject? What Musk did was the Bellamy Salute, which was used in the USA until 1942, when it was re-codified. "On June 22, 1942, at the urging of the American Legion and the Veterans of Foreign Wars, Congress passed Public Law 77-623, which codified the etiquette used to display and pledge allegiance to the flag. This included the use of a palm-out salute, specifically that the pledge "be rendered by standing with the right hand over the heart; extending the right hand, palm upward, toward the flag at the words 'to the flag' and holding this position until the end, when the hand drops to the side." Congress did not discuss or take into account the controversy over use of the salute. Congress later amended the code on December 22, 1942, when it passed Public Law 77-829, stating among other changes, that the pledge "be rendered by standing with the right hand over the heart." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bellamy_salute It appears that the salute was commonly used to pledge allegiance but at the outbreak of WWII in the U.S. it was thought too similar to a fascist salute. It was suggested the right hand over the heart was sufficient, which is used today. Now, whether Musk knew this and is deliberately trying to bring it back or not is a moot point on which I cannot comment.

Once these multi-billionaires realise their State Pension is frozen they'll be back. Lol.

I'm sure U.K. penises were larger before Brexit. 🙂

The liver is there to flush out toxins. If you drink every day and don't give it time to process the bad stuff it will store the waste as fat causing fatty liver and stressing it, possibly leading to cirrhosis. If you drink in moderation and abstain for a few days a week it will lessen the chance of damage. No amount is totally safe but if you choose to drink, moderation is the key and it's crucial to monitor your weekly units if you're serious about controlling your intake. Drinking every day is a recipe for eventual ill health.

In English please because I have absolutely no idea what you're getting at.

Maybe it's a Polish cultural thing. https://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-news/mans-staggering-response-after-causing-29897700?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=post&utm_campaign=reddit Again this guy couldn't see anything wrong.

Yes, what's shocking is the fact that he thought he had the right to do it.

You're welcome to it. 🙂

Yeah, it wasn't written to be a gay anthem but become one pretty quickly, not least because of the iconic gay garb of that time and their playing all the gay clubs. Anyway, now it's the Republican anthem.

I didn't say they were hypocrites. I said that they opened themselves up to accusations of hypocrisy and greed, which, if you read the gay press is exactly what has happened. And it's not just the inauguration, they have agreed to appear at several other of Trump's events. That's their right of course but its also other people's rights to criticize. What's more worrying is that they are now saying YMCA is not a gay anthem despite milking it as such for years. I'm all for that as I could never stand it, but it's bit rich of them to deny it. Even Trump called it "the gay national anthem" in 2022. Initially the band threatened to sue Trump for using the song but changed their mind when the money started rolling in. "......lyricist Victor Willis changed his mind and wrote on Facebook that he no longer had an issue with the Republican candidate playing the band’s songs because “[they] has benefited greatly from use by the president elect”, and “estimated to [have grossed] several million dollars” since the tunes began being used." So much for keeping music out of politics.

".........Despite not supporting Trump in the election, the band decided to put politics aside for the occasion." Obviously they're putting politics aside if they're happy to perform for someone they opposed to be President. They also open themselves up to accusations of hypocrisy and greed which they don't appear to deny.

Myanmar is beautiful and would make a wonderful place to live but there are massive challenges for the next 20 years at least. Any foreigner living there would be a perpetual target at the moment.

I love how they're putting politics aside by performing at an inauguration. 😀

Here in Thailand it can be found in most pharmacies at 95b a bottle.

I swear ny Nasol. It unblocks the nose so quickly. Years ago I tried numerous sprays but Nasol was the clear (sic) winner. Nowadays they have those wretched actuators but I kept some of the old squirty bottles.

Who is he playing?

That's just concerning itself with definitiions of Islamophobia. To pass restrictions on Islamophobia and pass them into law it would need to debated in Parliament, amended and voted on.

You might want to change you profile pic then. Michael Sheen is a supporter of the Welsh Labour Party and Plaid Cymru. 🙂

You're making the same mistake. He was convicted for contempt of court, a serious criminal charge he didn't contest. That he was arrested for telling the truth is just you putting your spin on it. There is no crime in law called telling the truth.
