The Supreme Court decision in the case of Elan-Cane touches on two of the most toxic aspects of what some like to call culture wars: the rights of people to demand that others recognise their self-professed identity and the role of judges and the Human Rights Act. It is worth understanding what the court ruled because it provides – if taken – a way forward on one aspect of the first and a corrective to Raab’s claims that the HRA has led to over mighty judges.

In addition s1 (4) of the Sexual Offences (S) Act 2009 provides:
"In this Act—
“penis” includes a surgically constructed penis if it forms part of A, having been created in the course of surgical treatment, and
“vagina” includes—
(a)the vulva, and
(b)a surgically constructed vagina (together with any surgically constructed vulva), if it forms part of B, having been created in the course of such treatment."
So a woman who has a surgically constructed penis can be guilty of rape (of course such a woman is likely to have a gender reassignment certificate, although not necessarily so).
Facts are oppressive in their inability to change to accommodate peoples feelings.

Lewis, you are the greatest racer in the history of Formula 1 and you drove your heart out for every lap of this incredible season.
You're a flawless sportsman on and off the track and you delivered a faultless performance.
Would that mean that the UK is in a better position this winter facing this wave because of the fact that so many got infected earlier this year then?
Does this mean that if the UK had followed iSAGE [and others] advice and prevented those cases from spreading then we'd be in an even worse position now for this wave?
Finally does it mean if the NHS does get overwhelmed then the problem is in part due to having too few cases in the past meaning we don't have enough immunity now? Would we be better off now, if we'd had more cases before now?

But you never can tell.
I foresee that on and after Christmas people are going to let loose big style. Bring on the Jan 3rd - 13th self isolation...

I think it's a real shame he wasn't persuaded to do this.
But feelings trump facts all the time. In all kinds of ways and in all walks of life.
Humans simply are not rational creatures.
Oh well.
I bet it is. I wonder how much they are charging for LHR - CDG right now.
WTF does it matter if they have an 'X' in their passport? It is a matter for them. It will not make the slightest difference to me or anyone else on here. The world will not stop.
Whitty banging on about "prioritisation" because of "self-isolation" (which is only needed due to government policy of course) and so on but not a single question from Hunt on the damage this prioritisation is inflicting. Not a single question on the harms to businesses, to livelihoods, to mental welfare or to anything else. Zero critical scrutiny at all from Hunt.
What an appalling session of questions that is. Disgraceful.
2. Again, it's hard to say but I'd tend to yes, but that's my non-expert opinion.
3. I think the failure probably isn't in not ramping up the cases, it's more to do with being too complacent about booster vaccines. He specifically said that three doses of vaccine will provide very high level protection against severe symptoms, he's also the same person who said the programme should have commenced earlier and used a 4.5 month gap (which I definitely wrote about on here at some point, pre-Omicron too, if anyone wants to check) which would have put us in a much better place heading into Xmas.
Quite possible that we reach 1m by the end of the weekend at this rate.
Must be a few eliminated from the competition today.
Mine was yesterday lunchtime, small family-run pharmacy near my flat. Queue apparently out the door at times during the day.
2. either of the two main categories (male and female) into which humans and most other living things are divided on the basis of their reproductive functions.

I'm actually wondering if OMICRON DESTROYER OF WORLDS hits so fast that SA will actually get a "second wave" of omicron starting in 2 weeks time. This first wave has been driven by Guateng (25% of the population, 50% of the hospital admissions), the rest of the country needs to catch up.
So I don't think we'll quite reach 2m a day.
We really need a big push to remind people that the centres will be open throughout Christmas, if you hadn't been boosted and you are sitting around at home, bloody get down their while you are off work.
It's a very very small number of people though, and I know as soon as any sort of ruling might be made for them the much larger number of trans people would absolubtely leap on it. That's the difficulty.
We often see that with cases and deaths especially after Bank Holiday weekends and I believe from memory there was a Bank Holiday effect with vaccines in the Spring too.
Afternoon, all.
Hmmm

Effective, if there is limited cross immunity between the two variants, then both could co-exist together.
Holding the Government to account is very much the Opposition's job. Here there was a backbench revolt long signposted and the Opposition had the rare opportunity to defeat the Government unless the Government agreed to a concession. They could have chosen whatever concession they felt appropriate and the Government would have had no choice but to loosen the purse-strings or see the vote fail.
Instead the Opposition allowed the Government to keep the purse strings tight despite a backbench revolt. It is a disgrace.
9,999....does their excel doc not allow 5 figures?
They are not abolishing anything. Whatever they decide does not affect you or me or anyone else.
I'm anti-restrictions. I'm quite fine to live with Covid, since we have vaccines rolled out. I got my third jab this morning.
If men are raping women then that is something that should be known about. That the man who raped a woman wants to be known as a woman, doesn't change facts.
That's like me saying I want every Covid death to be known as a cancer death and then say we have no Covid only cancer. Reality matters.
1.1% of pop, 1.4% of adults.
And unlike many ex ministers, he has maintained a very active interest in his former brief.
Are you seriously suggesting that some bloke would get off a rape charge because they held a passport with an 'F' in the "Sex" field?
Edit: Really? It never seems to have bothered you before....
Its my view you shouldn't have to self-isolate. The virus is going to spread either way. Trying to contain its spread is doing more harm than it spreading.
If all you've got is like the common cold, then you should treat it no differently to how you'd have acted in the past with the common cold.
They are now telling public health professionals to shut up and let them tell people how to act in a pandemic - and calling it libertarianism.
