A Pride flag on the streets or a rainbow crosswalks is not indoctrination, nor is it ideology. It is a visible reminder to young people that they are welcome, respected, valued, and not alone.

For years, LGBTQ+ people have been calling for better policing of hate crime. In that time, offences based on sexual orientation have risen by 18–20%, and trans-related hate crime by 50%. So where was our support? Where is our justice?

The UK has officially recognised Homophobia/Anti-LGBTQ+Crimes as an aggravated offence with longer prison sentences. Under the Crime and Policing Act 2026, which received Royal Assent on 29 April 2026, such offences now carry enhanced penalties matching those for race or religion-based crimes, with longer sentences and no six-month investigation limit.

I’m very pleased to say that the smear campaign didn’t work. Sussex completely vindicated and OfS exposed as right wing culture war vehicle. alanlester.co.uk/blog/smearing-…

🚨 The heterosexual organisation, oddly named ‘LGB Alliance’, are calling for the government to ALLOW conversion therapy torture to continue… That means LGBTQ+ people would continue to be tortured, just because of their sexual or gender identity.

It's time for trams ! Why is Britain not taking part in the tram revolution? It's because we're shooting ourselves in both feet with a machine gun. The European average cost per mile of tramway is £42mn. Average British cost is more than twice as high at £87mn. Why.... ?

Having one accepting adult in their life can lower an LGBTQ youth's risk of attempting suicide by 40% BE THAT ADULT

Just a reminder Gender Ideology isn't real. It's a term that exists to attack women's rights, bodily autonomy, and LGBT+ rights. Anyone seriously using Gender Ideology as a term is showing they are part of the far right working to remove human rights. blogs.lse.ac.uk/gender/2017/12…

@Woollygar @FXMC1957 That’s Marples, the Transport Minister at the time

@FXMC1957 Didn't he do quite well financially from it too? Something to do with switching assets into his wife's name?

27 March 1963. Richard Beeching issued a report that led to huge cuts to the UK rail network with 2,363 stations being closed. At the time British Rail was losing £140M a year (worth £2:46 billion today). Critics thought the cuts went too far, ending many viable routes.

The world needs more professors like this.

Damn I didn’t think this day would come, but Poland has recognized a gay marriage Again, they have not legalized it, but simply recognized a foreign gay marriage as required by an EU court ruling There’s still a lot of hurdles ahead, but it’s a great step forward
