And we've done some work on defining and summarising the issues.
What's the best thing to do next?

Sorry Charlie but is this a second consultation ?
If so what happened to the last one or was it ditched for getting the answers wrong

Thanks for that information on the Scottish GRA Charley.

What's the best thing to do next?

Online? Offline? Local, regional, national?

Campaigning? Lobbying? Educating?

We could do with a Mumsnet group getting active offline, actually. Having MN local nmeetups with other concerned MNers, without necessarily joining any of the existing groups. The more the merrier, really.

One thing you could do is set aside time in the second week in March to fill in the Scottish GRA draft bill consultation and convince everyone you know to do it, too.

That's because if Scotland introduces self-id, the rest of the UK will have it too, even if the UK government doesn't. It will simply be impossible to avoid it in practice.

The more people simply say No thanks to self-id the better.

People requiring live in social care
Etc... That sort of thing?

How about using that post as the basis of creating another 'break it down for me' type thread? That one is frequently bumped to keep it up and has been incredibly useful, to flag as a quick reference in tweets and emails to MPs and all sorts as well as for new FWR visitors.

Count me in.

Thelnebriati · 21/01/2020 21:14

It would help if you posted a list of people, situations and rights that will be affected, for those who can't see the issue.

Agrona · 21/01/2020 21:12

Great idea, Redshoueblueshoe. The name of the person is on the tip of my Lang... I mean tongue.

HandsOffMyLangCleg · 21/01/2020 21:10

Placemarking.
In the meantime, I'm in.

Redshoeblueshoe · 21/01/2020 21:05

Maybe we should find an articulate woman who knows all about safeguarding Gin
