Sorry but this is getting stupid.
As posted the GRA 2004 and the EA 2010 were both past when Labour was in power 1994 - 2010.
And as we know, particularly on mumsnet FWR, following it that a network of queer activists and Stonewall affiliates pushed the boundaries, not just publicly, but by getting seats on committees etc. for self ID.
This resulted in the then Government (Tories) putting out a consultation on bringing in Self ID, because influenced by a well organised group of advocates, they were lead to believe that this was the logical next step.
It is to the credit of the Tories, which I am saying not because I am a Tory but appreciate integrity, that as a result of the consultation, and the huge push back by women about the loss of women's sex based rights, that the Tories put self id on hold.
And it is worrying to think that had Labour been in power at the time, they would most probably have ignored women, as they are doing now (or even banning them) and self id would probably be enshrined in law now.
I dont think women can rely on either party to be champions of women's rights, but to try and fabricate facts to suit some implausible narrative because of some unblinkered party loyalty, is what makes many people, not just posters on FWR, floating voters.
If the people pushing a particular party's policys are such entrenched my way or no way, is it any wonder that people dont care about voting.
Let alone standing by the student union publicity stunts such as Labour's purile attack ads.
