No, the woman resembles my sister more than me. And she's (my sister) fairly lean in the shoulders, I guess.

I don't know where that thread about the young woman who was arrested at the Richmond demonstration went, but I have been checking regularly and prosecutors have dropped all the charges: https://www.richmond.com/news/local/crime/prosecutors-drop-mask-charge-against-only-person-arrested-at-gun/article_ef6567e2-341a-560b-b2e2-42828c485f51.html

 

The rationale was that it wouldn't be fair considering there were hundreds of other protestors "similarly garbed" who didn't get arrested. 

 

I think I just derailed the derailment exempt thread! :P I will count this as a personal achievement. :star:

Oh, Boiler, I meant to mention that I made a roast yesterday along with roasties (using Delia's recipe) and there is now plenty of room in the oven for both. The joys of modern living!!!

 

I am also enjoying having another few rooms to be in that do not contain him for those moments when apartness is essential for remaining-togetherness. Before, if I needed to sulk on my own I had two options: bathroom (ignominy of having to sit on the closed lid of the pot or lying in the bathtub without bathwater) or curtained-off sleeping nook (stiff taffeta insufficient to block sounds of Warhammer II or apologetic fiancé). I figure if we survived three months in a studio we probably will make it.

Definitely going up in the world.

 

And somewhere to check out the latest DM stories, I saw a story about Lisa Nandy and letting self identifying child rapists serve there sentence in Womens Prisons that I am sure they have a big feature on.  She also wants to abolish the Monarchy so 2 for 1.

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

Well, if I hadn't been so pigheaded about saving as much as possible from my monthly stipend, I might have lived in something more appropriate. And we weren't supposed to be there together more than a month, but there you go.

 

Yes, there is a piece on Nandy. I get where she's trying to go with her stance, and I understand it is about child rapists who are trans. It's a difficult thing, I think, very sensitive. I mean, how many people are we talking about in the prison population? I suppose I have less of an issue with someone who identifies as trans and has for a while doing this than some bloke who just says, oooooooo, I'm trans, move me. There would need to be psychological evaluations, I would think, to make sure it's not a put on or anything.

Basically a rabbit hole they did not need to go down. There was a load of fuss last last year about an Irish Lady being elected to head a BAME committee. She said as Irish she was minority ethnic.And they said well that is not the sort of minority ethnic we meant.

 

This is much more interesting, she said apparently and this seems a common view in the Party that all you need to do is self identify. Labour also has Female Shortlists etc, and there is no way somebody is not going to push this. 

 

The Prison thing does not really matter, no way Labour in its current form is going to be in power, they need to get a grip.

I give money to Emily's List every year and I am pretty certain that trans women are eligible for an endorsement and assistance in getting elected. I am cool with this. :) I consider trans women to be women just as I am -- just the way I was brought up, I suppose. It's not my place to say "you can be a woman, but you can't." There is, I think, a distinction to be made between those who were assigned at birth as male who discover they identify later as women, and some guy who just says, yep, that's me, I'm a woman, to get around some particular roadblock. It's delicate, and we are very new to this sort of thing, so I think as time goes on some sort of criteria will be imposed. It doesn't mean that a person who finally says to themselves, wow, I'm not a man (or woman), isn't in that very moment of recognition not the gender or sex they know they are. It's the steps they take to affirm that identity, whether through time, or acts, etc. Like most things in life, there is no clear dichotomy here -- there's so much grey. The picture will develop, I think, over time.

 

I agree Labour needs to evolve. It's not appealling as it's currently composed. Maybe a New New Labour is needed? It's a disaster in Scotland now for the party, complete carnage at the last election.

There is certainly an argument that everything should be gender neutral, prisons, sports politics etc. But complications arise and I am not sure if those complications have been thought about even if they are pretty obvious. 

 

Does not impact me or most males, I see it mainly being negative to females, just take it all to its logical conclusion.

 

Anyway on a more fun aspect apparently Nandy is in favour of Queen Meghan... There would need to be a bit of a blood bath to get there.

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

I like Meghan (as I have said before, I marginally identify with her in the very smallest possible way), but I don't need the DM giving me any more updates on the lack of fragrancy of her farts compared to Kate's. Just over it.

 

I have also mentioned before that I think Kate's makeup makes her look way older than she actually is, and I'm so perplexed by this. It's improving but still... it needs a lighter hand.

They have always had a tendency to overdo things.

 

I have no idea about make up, I did see an advert for using an air brush to apply makeup, which seemed logical. I think Kate has always looked prim. And she is not far off 40.

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”
