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.

Thatcher's smashing of the miners was intended to disrupt supply of coal so that the market would be opened to north sea gas supplies.
In the early '80's Enterprise Oil was formed. They had John McGoldrick in Ireland from 1984. He got very friendly with Bertie's fundraiser Des Richardson. In 1987 Ray Burke gave away the people's right to 50% of their own oil/gas. In 1992 Bertie Ahern went further and set the terms in the '92 Finance Act.
On 1st January 1993 Enterprise Oil applied for a licence under the new terms where they 'discovered' the Corrib Gas Field.
Enterprise Oil was bought lock, stock and boe by Shell in 2002 when Philip Watts was trying to cover up Shell's over-statement of reserves...
Shell is now calling the shots in north Mayo where they have been resisted for the past six years.
The resistance continues.
... to Erris in north Mayo!

The reason why the Stonehenge Festivals were stopped and the ambush that is known as The Battle of the Beanfield took place.
Was because if the Festival had gone on for another year,
it would have warranted an automatic Royal Seal of approval, which meant it could never have been stopped.
And that's what really got up the noses of the ruling class that we the people were using their rules to obtain the Freedom to Celebrate at Stonehenge
I know because I was one of the people.
The Wiltshire Cops had drafted in extra support from the British armed forces, to help them with their dirty work.
Yes there were arrests lots of them, but as each case came up into court .Evidence of unwarranted force as filmed by the BBC
was introduced and the cases kept get being put back - until
no action was taken and that in it's self was a rightful victory for the people. On the other hand our vehicles were badly damaged and we got no redress for that!
In my belief that the parallels and conclusions that Jesse is drawing are unwarranted and she is hijacking the Battle of the Beanfield for her own ends.
I have lived in Ireland ever since that debacle have never witnessed the Garda behaving as did the Wilts Con on that day.
And nor did travellers decend on villages, they camped on the land of the wealthy and rich, which is why Thatcher smashed them.
If this is anti social behaviour to you, what do you call that of para military police batoning women holding babies and burning their vehicles, seems you have been brainwashed.
So the 4 million unemployed in Thatchers Britain were "layabouts".
New age traveller culture became popular because those under 21 had to move every three months to a get benefits, it became an escape from bedsits and slum estates.

Thatchers legislation was later copied in the republic and used against indigenous travellers here.
