A Swiss girl has been been taken into care because her parents stopped her taking puberty blockers, breaching a ban on conversion therapy. Is this what Labour means by a "full, trans-inclusive ban on conversion practices"?

Net Zero is Impoverishing the West and Enriching China Wed Jul 24, 2024 13:30 | Will Jones
The West's headlong rush to jettison fossil fuels and hit 'Net Zero' CO2 emissions is impoverishing us while enriching China, which is ramping up its coal-fired industry to sell us all the 'green' technology.

'Populists' like Donald Trump and Nigel Farage are a "threat to democracy", chant the mainstream media. In fact, they are just reminding our politicians what they are supposed to be doing, says Prof James Alexander.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3So how exactly would the armour peircing bullets help human rights?
Well, We're supposed to believe such weapons are the best way to bring peace and democracy in afghanistan and iraq aren't we?. If we swallow that one, then why not knock yourself out and believe they might help here too? And while you are at it, I'm sure the special forces will be equally about as helpful as a bunch of live mortars in bringing peace and democracy here too just as they have tried to in Iraq, afghanistan and even in Iran too.
In fact Bullets and mortars do nothing. They don't actually kill anyone. They are just objects with potential. People kill people. And the special forces are trained better for that particular job than anyone. In that sense given a choice, ( albeit not a great one ), I'd rather have a few misguided patriotic amateurs who can probably only afford one mortar running around in my country than a bunch of hardened trained professional killers with whatever state of the art weaponry her majesty can afford
In response to "Northerner" - is that Malin Head in Donegal - the most northern part of our country?
The partition of our country is a crime against human rights because it was meant to and does sustain division and conflict in our small country.
The divisons carefully fostered by a British Government and now sustained by a British assembly.
The stats speak for themselves, in research it is shown that sectarianism has increased within the statelet since the 1990's - since apparently the conflict was resolved!
The right of people to resort to arms to challenge the injustices around them is completely morally acceptable.
The weapons of the oppressed cannot be compared to the oppressor - there is no moral equivalence.
Peace cannot be brought to this country by British pacification arrangements - likewise no peace can be brought to Palestine through Israeli/EU/US imposed arrangments.
True peace is only achieveable through the acheivement of justice - which is the recognition that British involvement in any part of our country is the cause of conflict. The present arrangements in the 6 counties have absolved the British Government and attempted to create the illusion that it is a religious conflict best resolved by Catholic and Protestant politicians administering British rule.
Unfortunately, if the use of armed insurrection is the only means to bring about the circumstance to resolve this injustice and denial of human rights then so be it.
