Last year my wife had breast cancer and a double mastectomy.

This morning, for the first time ever, she was challenged in the changing rooms at the swimming pool. Her breasts were not what make her a woman - but, breasts or not, she is entitled to dignity and protection from vigilantes.

Unfortunately that's not what I'm hearing amongst family in Scotland. The general impression seems to be that immigration is becoming more obvious and socially impactful. Not my view. But it's what I'm picking up.

Yep. Gary Lineker has the moral backbone to call things as he sees them.

Headline reading: "Gary Lineker could not keep quiet. In the end, it finished his BBC career".

BBC News website is still running this disgraceful front page headline. Presenters should not be expected to "keep quiet" on basic human rights abuses. And his past record of speaking out shouldn't be conflated with his error re the rat reposting (I didn't know that was an antisemitic slur either).

It's more than a decade and a half. I've observed this process since the 80's.

Last night, Labour ministers were emphasising that we remain outside the EU and that decision will never be open to renegotiation in any way.

I can't stop thinking about how the "Gender Critical" response to hundreds of leading UK biologists signing a letter saying sex isn't binary or immutable is "I can't believe that school kids know more about biology than these biologists". Can you imagine saying that out loud without thinking?! Mad

Well, you have to look at it from the Devil's point of view. He has to get all the torture implements ready, and that takes time. Naturally there's a bit of a wait.

Shamima Begum was a child when she was groomed by ISIS operatives. She has paid heavily for her mistakes, made as a 15year old. If she were white she would not have had her citizenship stripped from her and would be home now with her parents.

This isn't a Brexit reset. It's a face lift. Some of the most visible symptoms get a bit of correction: holiday queues & touring musicians. But the fundamental problems surrounding trade, investment, agriculture, fishing and freedom of movement still remain. It's lipstick on a pig. A wasted chance.

At least £64bn of property in England and Wales is hidden behind opaque trusts Campaigners say secretive ownership structures are becoming the ‘go-to vehicle for kleptocrats’

Owners of 236,500 properties in England and Wales worth £64bn are hidden behind opaque trusts.

Appeasement of the rich facilitates corruption, illicit financial flows.

Compare this to how govts treat the poor. Soon their bank accounts will be snooped on.

Gary Lineker: A sorry end to a BBC career His years as a BBC host end in circumstances nobody would have wanted, but some might have predicted.

A cowardlt piece from #BBC. Gary Lineker spoke out about fascism, putting morality before career, and paid the price. Ok, he made a mistake with his choice of symbol, but fascism is fascism whoever perpetrates it. He did right.
