The continuing saga of Cherry Reds

I've linked the original article from when the event first happened. For additional context, a group of people including DP Audits got refused service inside Cherry Reds for that group being associated with and part of the far right protest going on that day

The Equality Act does not protect against Political Beliefs it should be said. And businesses can refuse to serve based on the political affiliations and political opinions of the customer or customers. Only philosophical beliefs that are expected in a functioning democratic society and don't cause harm to others are arguably protected. But that's on a case by case basis

DP Audits posted the interaction on his YouTube channel and as a result the business got hammered with social media hate and fake Google and TripAdvisor reviews

What is particularly shocking about this story though is after a few days or few weeks it blows over normally. Not here. Even now more than two months on people are still leaving fake TripAdvisor reviews and commenting hate/experiences that never happened on their FB and Instagram posts

There is a real concerted effort it feels like with the far right to make sure this business gets impacted and even shut down for simply refusing service on political grounds (which they can do in law)

I plan to go to Birmingham to visit there and support through my custom later this year. But I want to draw attention to this story and that the business continues even today to receive hate and fake reviews constantly if anyone else wants to support them online or in person. No business should suffer what they have and continue to for turning away the far right

EDP's disparaging language towards Trans Individuals

Did anyone else see the article done today about Eleanora Folan's Green Party appointment?

Opinions people may have on their views not withstanding, what was very notable is how quick the article is to emphasize they are Trans and with disparaging language/tone at that

On the website the headline reads "Transwoman (who backs Iran and wants to abolish Israel) gets Greens' key female role"

Then as soon as the article begins "a Transwoman, a biological male who identifies as a woman"

And finally "The self-described “mentally ill”, “proud anti-Zionist trans woman”

You can report on their appointment and their views and that's one thing but it's so obvious how they are going to another level to be disparaging and fuelling the mob when it comes to anybody who is Trans, which the comments sections show

The article was written by Henry Durand but we know it's Richard Porritt who is ultimately inserting these things in and feeding the mob

Addressing the DJE Media situation

Context: This channel uploaded a long documentary covering DJE Media. The video got taken down by a defamation complaint. Seems any video criticising DJE Media, himself or an associate of his will get it taken down

Should I take an extra Loperamide then I normally do a day whilst I'm away on holiday?

I'm on holiday this week and occasionally whilst being away I've had major IBS flare ups that impact the enjoyment of being away. I take normally 3 Loperamide every morning whenever I'm going to work or going out for anything social. But occasionally whilst away this doesn't do the job. I'm thinking of taking another Loperamide to make it 4 a day whilst away but not 4 in one go. Would it be ok to do this and if so what time during the day should I take the extra Loperamide

I'm away with a friend this time aswell so I'm conscious about that aswell compared to being away on my own

Looking for a specific Eurovision custom scoreboard site/program

I've used some of these before but I'm looking for a specific one that allows you to just input all the Jury points from the points pool available in one go without having to go through country by country. Like you can do with the public vote. Is there one of these out there that allows you to do that?

Been in my current jobs for several years but feel like I've reached a ceiling and not sure how I can advance higher?

I work two jobs in Museums. The first job is more is more focused on Retail and the second is doing all sorts (visitor service, finance, membership and being a tour guide)

The first job I've been in on and off for 12 years and the second job I've been in for 7 years. I'm good at what I do and I do get job satisfaction but I'm beginning to feel stuck in a rut and I'm wanting to advance being 35 now. I would like to progress but I have no supervisory/management experience and I don't know how to get this experience or at least learn skills/get training where I currently am. I would like to advance in either job and not have to change both my jobs entirely

I'm also concerned being a Union rep in one of my jobs will hold me back aswell as having absences due to mental health (got an official MH diagnosis) at points through my career

Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated

BAP- Verdamp Lang Her DLC Song Version

This is a very random question but I stumbled across the Rock Band DLC of Verdamp Lang Her and it is a totally different version from what I recognize. In game it says it is from the Für Usszeschnigge album but this version used in Rock Band is not from this album. I can't find the version used in Rock Band anywhere. The version that's common everywhere includes a guitar solo of sorts at the end that fades out but the Rock Band instead has totally different sounding guitar and vocals and concludes with a long outro with a keyboard. Where is this version? Was it a re-record specifically for the game?
