  • The courts can only interpret the law. The wording of the law refers to ‘sex’ i.e. Biological sex, not gender, hence the ruling.

    Only the media is talking about the ‘definition of a woman’. This is not what the ruling is on.

    That isn’t to say that the equalities act shouldn’t be changed to also include gender, I strongly believe it should and hope against hope that the Labour government will, but it is not in the supreme court’s power to enact new law.

    Lack of understanding of the legal system leads to a lot of misdirected anger, I’m on your side, but be angry at the right people.













  • I disagree, I think the removal of ads is often painted as a benefit that had inherent value. Look at YouTube premium or Prime video. Both haven’t actually improved their offering, just made it worse by introducing ads and insisting users that don’t want to see ads have to pay for the privilege of not being advertised to.

    This means the total price adds up to higher than 100% of the product value, because it’s a ‘premium’ version that comes without advertisement inconvenience.





  • I think what you’re trying to say is that the social commentary has lost a lot of nuance, as well as the general quality of the writing going down, in which case I agree. Kinda toeing the line of the ‘everything is woke now’ crowd though, to which I would say you haven’t seen/understood much Doctor Who if you think social issues are only recently a part of the stories.

    For the record the Rosa Parks ep was one of my favourites for Jodie, but it’s a low bar.
