    Dear oh dear, Tories still haven't learned that when you're in a hole you don't keep digging.

    They don't help themselves that there's usually a bunch of rebels shovelling back in the hole as fast as its ever dug out so they're digging deeper and deeper whilst being simultaneously buried alive.

    I'd pay to watch that.

    Seems to me all this chaotic bollocks is being booted down the street for the next government to somehow sort out. The tories appear to be bent on making themselves completely unelectable and are succeeding in spades.

    This circus of incompetent clowns shouldn't deflect from the ongoing covid inquiry which reopened yesterday.

    Oh and according to Faisal Islam the sale of compulsory purchased property begins immediately.

    So if Labour want to resume HS2 next year they will have to re purchase all of it at insane cost.

    Salting the Earth and stabbing the country in the back for their own self interest to the end.

    I think they have gone beyond the point of incompetence and, now that they are at that stage where they realise that they are not going to win the next election, they are deliberately taking decisions to make life difficult for the next government.
    It’s a bit like a defeated army in retreat - destroy everything that they leave behind.
    They are deliberately creating a situation that will be impossible for the next government to put right in one term of office, in the hope that the Telegraph, Mail, Express and Sun will undermine the government enough to see the Tories returned to power sooner than they deserve to be.
    I think this is the only long term plan that they are committed to.

    I haven't had much success with VPNs and C4 needs a UK address to register. BBC iplayer detected the VPN I was trying to use and told me to do one.

    Do you have Saintsplayer Jab? Complete catch-up of all channels on there.
    Built in VPN too, so should work in Ned-land.

    I'm not a telegram user. I clicked the link which wanted me to download it, did that and it came up with a QR code to read from my phone telegram app. I don't have it and don't want another social media disgrace on my system. Any other ways round it?

    Don’t think so, sorry. I only use Telegram to communicate with the Saintsplayer admin and find out what channels the sport I want to watch is on.

    An investigation found that more than 6,500 rapes and sexual assaults in hospitals have been reported to police between January 2019 and October 2022. The actual number is probably far higher as this type of crime is known to be under-reported.

    https://www.womensrights.network/_files/ugd/18f02a_431d87ff57d24e5c9124d3109fe0d83f.pdf

    In 2010, Andrew Lansley set out his policy for single sex wards, washing and toilet facilities. One problem is Annex B of the policy and how it is being operated by the NHS -on the basis of gender self-identification and not by the sex of the patient. This means that male patients who identify as transgender or non-binary must be housed with women if that is their preference. Shockingly, this includes patients in locked mental-health wards. Impact on safety, privacy and dignity of other patients is not taken into consideration by the NHS.

    Women's groups have campaigned to have Annex B repealed, a simple step to help ensure safeguarding for women. At the very least it needs to be reviewed and consistent with the rest of the policy in language, meanings and outcomes as set out by Sex Matters in 2021. (A line-by-line review of Annex B is on p11-14)

    Thanks Chilcs seems like the way to go, I'll get it sorted tomorrow, watching a bit of footy after friends were over earlier, nice dinner and glass or two of wine after a beer has left my tech in tatters.

    As I said the trans gender issue is a small part of much bigger problems brought about by the under funding of the NHS and social services as a whole.

    The issue with men who identify as trans being placed in a female ward is not a problem brought about by under funding. This is brought about by NHS Federation and NHS England adopting policies that are not based on accurate understanding of the law - they have been indoctrinated by gender ideology through training and accreditation programmes. What Steve Barclay has announced 'will bring a common sense approach to sex and equality issues in the NHS'

    Like so many organisations grappling with the delicate conflict of rights between women who want to access single-sex services, and trans people who want to be treated according to their gender identity, not their sex, for all purposes, the NHS Confederation has fallen into the trap of engaging with one perspective to the exclusion of all others..It isn’t just the NHS Confederation. NHS England has itself effectively adopted a blanket policy that trans or non-binary male patients should be placed on female-only wards. This is despite the fact that it may be unlawful discrimination for a hospital not to accommodate female patients on female-only wards; the Equality Act explicitly states it is lawful for hospitals to provide single-sex wards; and there are compromises that could balance everyone’s needs...
