    Whatever happens, it's not going to end will. Just fire up the culture wars again and real people get hurt.

    You mean those culture wars that have been unrelentingly fired up by Fartage and Badenough? But when the unfortunate victims try to fight back you have a go at them?

    Do you have a problem with the recent judgement of the Supreme Court?

    I barely give a toss about it because it affects 0.5% of the population, its absolutely ludicrous that the topic is strong enough to shape someone's political beliefs when there are much greater percentages of people in poverty and having their benefits taken away.

    We need to be respectful of all law abiding minorities. I'm more interested in what may be wrong about the Supreme court's finding.

    We don't have a fixed constitution - it's perfectly fine to just disagree with the decision and then petition the government to change the law (or just change it, if you happen to be in government). The responsibility for clearing this up lies with Parliament, not the judiciary, and as usual Starmer has backed out in the hope that couching it the terms of a completely different system of government means that nobody notices.

    No I don't, I have a problem with the way that the very specific ruling with respect to the Equalities Act has been weaponised by the likes of Fartage and Badenough to oppress a vulnerable minority and meekly accepted by our spinless Prime Minister.

    Whatever confusion people might see in the law. If Parliament disagrees with the conclusion the judges come to then they can always just change the wording to sort it out.

    I can't see the European court overturning it, there's no basis. The problem was Stonewall overstepping and pushing for whichever men wanted to declare themselves to be women to push into single sex spaces. The SC just clarified that biological sex was the criteria. Bear in mind that under the inheritance laws an older woman wouldn't be able to declare herself male in order to claim a dukedom or whatever.

    I think there are many, but if I'd suspected this were where you were going then I'm afraid I wouldn't have got involved because I'm too tired at the moment. Maybe tomorrow.

    I only replied because I thought you were talking specifically about constitutional law in the UK. Hope that somebody else rises to it so you can have the argument you want - I'm going to bed.

    I don't think you can accuse him of that.

    I think on the issue of "what is a woman" he has been pretty spineless.

    Yeah, I was just pulling your leg about the typo. You're 0 for 2 on this thread now.
