Trans issues will become very important as more and more immigrants come into this country especially from Asia and africa who completely disagree with the concept
----------------------------------------------------------------------

A lot of countries in Asia believe in gender fluidity. It's why being transgender is so common in some places there.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

No not those Asians!!!!! The other lot!!!

I see what's happening in my local community, you do not which is fine

The trans issue is an example of how successful right wing propaganda is.

Yes, what is happening? That’s what I asked you to give examples of.

Nothing is ‘happening’ is it.

I see Trump is blowing the advantage he had over Biden’s poor debate by sticking his finger up at the religious crazies. What a weird strategic move..

The average Tory voter is a 65 year old, who lives in a small town, didn't go to university and is financially comfortable. 91% of 2024 Tories had voted for the Party in 2019, their voter pool almost entirely just shrunk rather than bringing in gains.

Always wonder how the age demographic that relies more on the NHS than most is consistently voting for the party that has absolutely decimated it.

One of the accused has already come out and denied it.

'Hello fellow humans, I can confirm I am a human male'.

When you look at the difference between the AI altered photo and him in a livestream you can see where the motivation may lie

It is of course much easier to get AI to doctor an image of you so much it's obvious than to just buy a light blue tie and pair it with a suit

I don't know how he votes but my partner's uncle is kind of like this.

He's got multiple houses, a really good private pension, and asset's easily over £1m yet he has various tax saving schemes on the go including fiddling his address so he won't have to pay capitals gains tax when he sells one of the houses next year.

He then complains whenever he goes to the Drs that the service is crap and the NHS has gone down the pan, and it's like maybe if people like you paid your taxes properly the NHS would actually get more funding.

Works for immigration too.

Agree on the taxation front but it’s not true that anyone can “fiddle” their addresses to avoid paying capital gains tax. Particularly if they have multiple properties as you suggest.

One does wonder what each of these properties are worth if you believe he only has assets “easily over £1m”. Average property value in the uk is some £280k

Seems it’s only the UK operations affected so far although that may change. Interestingly he’s extremely scathing about the last government so not so sure he’s “timed” this as such.

The BBC claim the decision was made before the election

But that’s a genuine concern when taxation hits certain high levels. These individuals will happily uproot and take their business elsewhere. I actually wonder how much of their own time they spend in the uk anyway.

Could easily have been.

Americans have that cringeworthy ‘God, family, country’ hierarchy of responsibility they often cite.

The Dysons of this world are more like ‘Bank balance, public image, country’.
