Wow. A first.

Will Jahadi Jez take the credit for this idea?
Not cool at all...
Awaits Guardian article about how it is because of Germany's racist society or some such bollocks.

Mr. Urquhart, mmm, gender segregation. Very 19th century.
There's also a story about German police refusing to search an asylum seeker camp for an iPhone (obviously not the most important aspect of integration troubles, but still):

Action? Bloody hell...
It'd be useful to have some figures on whether the numbers have slowed since the €6bn bribe was flung at Turkey.
Blaming crime on refugees in general is OK
Publishing photos of bankers is a human rights violation
My favourite bit today was about the question of black people being able to join the police force.
And now women need to be "protected" by being contained in some temporarily safe space, and the protection is wholly illusory because it simply moves their vulnerability to somewhere else and does nothing about dealing with the problem: those men, whether migrants or not, who think that they can get away with such attacks. The authorities should do their job and hunt down, arrest and prosecute those who commit crimes.
So not sad. A disgrace. And an abrogation of responsibility by the authorities.
The fact that women now need such protection from a small element of mostly imported society is an utterly damming indictment of our so called leaders because it was inevitable that this came about. This small element of society, who refuse to integrate or share our values and customs have won yet again in three ways;
1) Firstly They have managed to tar all of us males with their brush and we are all now considered potential rapists and must be segregated.
2) Secondly they have achieved something in a democratic free society that they prefer to carry out in their own closed and very restricted society. ( try getting into the centre carriage in Egypt on a tram in Alexandria just as an example and see how far you get.)
3) Thirdly and the worse of all they have in a very short time utterly changed our society and our freedoms to go about our business unrestricted and certainly without being segregated from females. Of course this is precisely how they run their society and beliefs and again precisely what they want .
Sorry the " they were born here" doesn't wash anymore.
It's appalling that The women cannot freely move around and are being attacked because a certain demographic religious group can't keep their hands to themselves, their dicks in their pants and think its perfectly OK to hunt females down in packs and sexually molest and rape them.

If true the Syrian government forces and Kurds are getting quite close to cutting ISIS off in the North, as well as the Kurds moving South in the North East part of the country towards Dier ez-zor, which the goverment troops are current fighting over with ISIS.
Jack is looking at Anne, but Anne is looking at George. Jack is married, but George is not.
Is a married person looking at an unmarried person?
How Tory canvassers are using PTV (propensity to vote) https://t.co/4hA8OtP1Nk Another reason to follow @Andrew__Kennedy and read his blog.
It's not you, it's the general trend: wheras previously people cut/paste/reformatted numbers (usually digits) into their own blog, these days people link to external sources (usually graphs) instead. This plays holy hell with archiving. I can use your site to easily extract numbers for 2010GE, but for 2015GE it's not so easy and that was less than a year ago. I've literally had to go thru your twitter feed with Topsy (a Twitter search tool) - but Apple bought Topsy and killed it in December 2015. So sucks to be me, basically.
I don't expect you to do anything as a result of this post: it's your site, it's easier to dynamically link than cut-and-paste, and I'm not paying you, so please feel free to tell me to eff off. But please understand it does cause medium-term problems that are not easily addressed.
And I refuse to let our politicians and police off the hook.
And any man who seeks to assault me or mine will regret it.
That's all.

Gunshots reported in the Capitol Visitors Center, we hear over the loudspeaker. Shelter in place, we're told.
Reasoning is as follows. If we assume that Jack, Anne and George are all people, and Anne can be either married or unmarried but not a third state, then:
* If Anne is married, then Anne (married) is looking at George (unmarried)
* If Anne is unmarried, then Jack (married) is looking at Anne (unmarried)
You might also want to read up on where the money is going, the Refugee Facility for Turkey:
http://ec.europa.eu/echo/files/aid/countries/factsheets/turkey_syrian_crisis_en.pdf
http://www.theyworkforyou.com/wms/?id=2016-03-07.HCWS582.h
The money is for ongoing care of the refugees; Turkey has already spent 7 billion Euros on them that they will not get back. It's a very odd sort of 'bung' by any definition.
Since Turkey's lost (from memory) around 200 lives in five terrorist bombings recently, perhaps you should try to understand the pressure they're under.
The latest count is 3.1 million refugees within Turkey. Our populations are roughly equivalent; how long do you think we'd cope with that many refugees? Would we ask for help from the international community?
Well I, for one, refuse to be segregated, refuse to take this lying down, refuse to be treated with contempt by people who show themselves by their actions not worthy to touch my shoes let alone any other part of me.
And I refuse to let our politicians and police off the hook.
And any man who seeks to assault me or mine will regret it.
That's all.
Good for you. Not arguing honest
I was thinking myself along the lines of getting into said carriage if ever I saw one here. No doubt I would be arrested for doing so though.
Oh well ......At least we can rely on the NUT to teach our British values and respect to the children so we stamp this out. Oh....wait a minute?
Teachers are demanding that schools stop promoting 'fundamental British values' over claims it could make children think other cultures are inferior.
The National Union of Teachers said telling children about the country's democracy, law and traditions could encourage 'cultural supremacy' and urged a new focus on 'international human rights' instead. Under government guidelines, which are aimed at tackling extremism in the wake of the Trojan Horse scandal, children must be taught about being a British citizen as well as tolerance other faiths and lifestyles.
However, union leaders said the term was demeaning to other cultures 'particularly in the context of multicultural schools and the wider picture of migration'.
Delegates passed a motion in favour of campaigning to scrap it during the NUT annual conference in Brighton today.

Pause.
I'll get me coat...
On a similar note, can I go in the carriage if I say I self-identify as a woman for the purposes of the journey?

There must be a reasonable case for banning all NUT members from schools on the grounds of extremism.
It should be noted that the railway company involved denies this policy is anything to do with sexual harassment. It would be interesting to know what their stated reason is.
Written down it becomes more obvious. If ‘>’ means ‘looking at’ then:
Jack > Anne > George, or
Married > Unknown > Unmarried
Replace Unkown with Married or with Unmarried and either way there is clearly a married person looking at an unmarried one
Apparently the question was posed to show people make lazy assumptions in this case by thinking insufficient information (Anne's marital status) had been made available. Around 67% that responded gave the answer - cannot be determined.
I am not saying that all men are abusers, have never said that and don't think it. It was my father - a real gentleman in the truest sense of that word - who taught me and showed me by his life what a real man is
But I have been attacked by a man and have fought back. And the risk of sexual assault for me and for my daughter comes from men. And the risk for my gay son comes from homophobes - and as he has been attacked - you will understand why I have no time for those who carry out such assaults or for those who turn a blind eye or excuse them or justify them.
Edit : having read explanation I am very stupid, I blame this on the 11 days illness I have been suffering.

From the Article -
The suspect is understood to be from the Girlington area of the city.
That's the part of the city I live.
DC. police and fire officials are responding to a report of shots fired at the Capitol Visitor Center at the U.S. Capitol complex, according to authorities.
The person believed to be the gunman has been shot by police, according to two D.C. police officials. He was taken to Washington Hospital Center.
An e-mail sent to U.S. Senate staff says “gunshots have been reported” and asked workers to shelter in place. The White House also was placed on lockdown.
“There has been an isolated incident at the U.S. Capitol Center,” D.C. police tweeted. “There is no active threat to the public.”
My point being that the words 'Any man' in your sentence should probably be 'Any one'. But I'm being unnecessarily pernickety.

I may be wrong though
That's rich coming from the friend, who suffers periodic seizures after a cross-country cycling race crash a few years ago, has broken many bones and has many pins from other crashes. Yet he still cycles on tracks, roads and off-road.
I have never been assaulted by a woman and am not scared of such an assault. I'm well aware that women can commit assaults but it is not a risk that bothers me. Sexual assault is a particularly demeaning and humiliating sort of assault because it corrupts in the most violent way possible something which is wonderful, pleasurable and life affirming. Such an assault penetrates not just my body but my very being, the essence of me, and does so in a contemptuous and hurtful way. And I fear it because in a fight with a man I will be at a disadvantage, all other things being equal.
And I see no good reason why I and other women should be put at increased risk because those in charge think that we have to pay any sort of regard to the uncivilised
behaviour of others, under the pretence of culture or religion or any other pretext.
Treating women in this way is uncivilised. Pure and simple. We should not tolerate it.

The US were just as eager then as they are now that Britain should be in Europe.
I walked a little over 6,200 miles on my coastal walk, which is 10,000 km. I walked clockwise. My average stride length is 2 and a half feet, and I walk with my feet a foot apart. If it was a perfect circle, how much further distance did my left boot cover than my right boot ?
(Some people get this very wrong, others get it immediately).

two Pi feet
Most peoples jouneys begin with a right step, but are equally likely to be an even or odd number of steps.
I think that you will have taken more steps with your right foot.
It would also be two pi feet if it was a 10 mile circle or a million-mile circle.
China and Russia don't have to worry about people filibustering.
If we take into account the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow and the current erosion rate at Happisburg, can we calculate the amount of money that will be bet on the US election ?
