Some say he got the hand drier moved, but the pub put it in another incorrect place, and he can smell by using his ears.

All we know is, he's count binface

Some say he knows how to communicate with owls, and that he wants for bins to have a day off on April 6th.

All we know is, he's count binface.

Some say like a seahorse, only male bins can get pregnant, and you can see the time is you look into his eyes, all we know is he is count binface.

Gotta love the humour!

So i know some of you will say uts copium, and maybe you are right.

I think after the first 2-6 months, it's at least possible that the guidance will fade into obscurity and most people will simply ignore it.

There are plenty of old laws on the books that are officially illegal but no one even cares about.

One is to shake a rug in front of a cow in public. An ancient law that was never removed from the history books.

Youtube star Max Fosh even goes to London and does it in front of a police officer and, you guessed it, nothing happened.

For now it will appear in the news cycles and on social media somewhat. This is true.

The worst one is social media where all the right wing types, GB news types, MAGA types are honestly far worse in the comments than the dedicated TERFs (or feminist identifying transphobes) are.

At some point the momentum will either die out or the focus will be on xyz new thing as the momentum that's out there cannot last too long.

Also what with some London boroughs choosing not to enforce the guidance, this gives a green light to other London boroughs or Councils to find the courage to follow suit.

Yes in the longer term the "guidance" either needs to be repealed, defeated in court or replaced by other legislation. Any of this will take time.

But my message to you is right now we are in the eye of the storm. This too will pass. At some point the guidance will "mostly" fade into insignificance once all the fanfare has worn off.

Even once the storm passes there might still be some light rain left over that came from the storm, but even that shall pass given time.

After all, it's unworkable on many fronts.

I hope and pray that the guidance will be the 'great dismantling' of the gender critical movement and ideology, and even if it isn't that it still exists somewhere but fades into obscurity.

Am I full of copium? Maybe? Who knows? But could I be onto something? Also maybe?

So let's talk double standards.

Its known that a volunteer from TransLucent was attacked. Not all the details are known as of yet, nor has any photos or footage of the incident surfaced as of my knowledge.

I find there to be a gaping double standard. Of course not by our community but by the TERFs and possibly the public on some level.

So Sarah Jane Baker was recalled to prison after her "punch a TERF" speech a couple of years or so ago at a previous Trans Pride London.

At this years Trans Pride London someone approaches one of our people and gets hands on with them. According to the post on x, the activists flag was destroyed and no further details are known.

Also

How they claim we are a danger in womens bathrooms yet JKK Rowling takes an upskirt photo of a trans woman.

The rank double standards is there for all to see, but even though we see it, the public don't.

It would actually be a shame if Binface won the election. He cannot wear the costume in parliament and the allure would be lost.

We would just see the regular person behind the mask and much of the comedy act of being an intergalactic space warrior and a bin would be lost at that point.

While im sure the man that plays Binface is a great guy, it's the act that does it for me.

So I've been wondering?

Can you add extra money of your own to the free bet to get bigger payout.

Example £5 free bet plus £10 own money with lay that matches.

Also how do you lay this?

Do you separately lay the free bet amount then lay the own amount or can they go as one lay.

So this is one I've been thinking of, and for a while.

Firstly, I know this could be wishful thinking or hoping beyond hope. I'll be the first to admit the possibility, including on my part.

It seems there are going to be some delays in getting the guidance to become binding on organisations.

Some suggest this could be the 31 July or somewhere between the 4th to 9th August, or maybe even another date.

Me and my cynical mind do wonder if they are waiting to see if anything could derail them.

There are a few options. The UN, GANRHI, ECHR (looks extraordinary unlikely, but still 0.1% possible), the judicial review from TransLucent + thier lawyers.

This names just a few possibilities. Not every 'angle of attack' against them is publicised into the public sphere and there may be other groups with thier own initiatives that no-one but them and the EHRC and co know about.

While i recognise the EHRC have done all the procedure from thier end and from a parliamentary procedure end as well, the could be delaying for road blocks.

This could give them an off ramp should they wish to use it. An 'oh we were really into the idea but we would be defeated at the first hurdle by (insert International organisation or other initiative here) so alas we cannot continue. It provides some plausible deniability and a get out of jail free card to some extent.

If you have read this far, you might think I'm being a bit nutty, and maybe I am. But maybe I have a point.

View Poll

After yesterday's events , or lack of them. Its a question I've always wondered.

The shared language is a part of it for sure, but there must be something far deeper than that.

What are the other factors other than the shared language of English that mean that TERFism thrives in anglophone nations.

I am currently in Denmark after having come from sweeden and am flying back to London today.

I've visited 21 countries of the EU and even though some countries have religiously fueled bigotry against us (and the wider rainbow as well), TERFism as we know it, just isn't the way the bigotry comes, even when there is bigotry on display.

I think Kelly Jay Keen (Posie Parker) even visited somewhere in the EU, with translators and that kinda bigotry just never appears to have taken hold.

Hi.

I've tried it can can do it.

The thing is the returns are something like £6-7 per time once you get free bets.

While it's all money, it's basically what I've dubbed "adult pocket money".

How to do get the good stuff.

I am fully aware that political distractions exist and can be used as a manoeuvre in themselves.

Could this work in our favour?

So the right wing types would be outraged if the guidance didn't go through last minute, oh yes they would.

But isn't half the country, if not most of it fundamentally distracted by Nigel Farage, the 5 million "gift", the circus act that will be an election between him and bin face.

It would be a perfect backdrop for the guidance to not be passed, with no fanfare or no announcement as such, it just quietly fades into obscurity.

Besides the right and particularly Reform, possibly to some extent Restore as well are in disarray.

How can Reform concern themselves with much else when thier leader is dodging an investigation with a bogus election, going up against a joke candidate and also now in the early stages of being investigated for money laundering as well, it would seem.

What a great backdrop for it to be quietly be shelved, maybe not forever, but it will still buy us some time.

Hi.

So I am a beginner and started out in late June.

Made my first mistakes and can hold my own.

I wonder if odds monkey and services like this are worth it.

The reason I ask is I have another paid service but the bets only really get me £6-£7. Not bad for a beginner but I want to get my hammer down. I also find searching for things to be one of those things I don't like. Flight searching, holiday searching, odds searching etc.

I don't mind a certain element, but I have my limits for how long I can cope with it before I've had enough.

For someone who wants all the offers on a plate, and also wants good offers that beat £6-7 guaranteed profit, are these services worth it?

So I put on my 2nd successful MB.

1.14 back and 1.17 lay on Argentina to win (free bet SNR).

Get £1.20 from it.

I admit I wasn't wildly adventurous with my choices as the first few attempts were with the training wheels on.

Now I've proved i can do it. How do I find the good opportunities. Got £20 left of free bets and can use other bookies for more.

Got £100 in smarkets for an expensive lay if need be.

I have ceased being a party member.

I sent in my resignation and expected it to happen within 5 days. It happened in half an hour.

It asked me why and I was fully put in the open about why.

I was a lib dem, now im not

So it appears a motion to vote on it hasn't materialised.

What are the Greens, Liberal Dems and any other cross party arrangements going to do to defeat this?

It looks like the Lib Dems have failed so I've sent in to get my membership cancelled.
