Great episode, both.

Lots of depressing stuff but really great news that ALCU have been stuffed by the US Court of Appeal.

That greatly cheered me up.

Have cross posted already.

Thank you for talking about Jonathan Van Ness. I haven’t heard any commentary (I’m in Canada though). I feel that no one wants to challenge him.

Thing is, all this diversity training at work is only for people in work. There are hundreds and thousands of self-employed workers in the UK, mostly sole traders. When I was SE I would have laughed at anyone telling me to attend a course because time is money. These employees are being preyed on by the likes of Stonewall who grab huge amounts of public money for themselves and prevent those who have to take part from carrying out their employment. Those who attend should be given a choice, and the time should be taken as holiday, or unpaid leave.

Clive's explanation of lived experience is really good. People who have lived through various things should always be involved in developing policies and services for them.

Dennis, perhaps something to chat about with Cive. Just seen a video of men? Outside the Conservative Party Conference. Dressed in black trousers, hoodie, baseball caps. accessorised with red masks and flags. A modern update on Moseley' BUFs para military uniform of black shirts & ties with khaki trousers. I thought the wearing of para military uniforms for political purposes was outlawed back in 1936/7. Should the police not enforce this law? (Ditto for the BLM lot.)
