Happy Mondays.
Backing singer's T-Shirt reads:
"More Blacks
More Dogs
More Irish".
Also saw New Order bassist Peter Hook and his band knocking out New Order & Joy Division oldies.
He looked ready for a fight at the end of it.

Brexit is what happens when national identity meets free trade and national identity wins.

Don't ever try and tell me we are Brexiting for reasons of free trade. We aren't.
Of course we could have brexited by now, largely maintaining free trade with our closest neighbours while acknowledging national identity.
But no, we've gone full national identity. It's why all self-respecting free traders should wash their hands of "Brexit as it is".
National identity meets free trade - Exhibit A.

Actually it probably does. Which says more about this country than it does the leadership of it.

(Voice off: "Stop taking Britain down!")
Until we each individually take responsibility for this country's politics, then we will barely move forward, except by accident.
"Look there's Boris Johnson, shall I ask him something about his environment policy or whatever?
No I'll get a selfie with him."

See what I mean.

I used to state (until blue in the face) that we were not electing Vote Leave and their 'manifesto'.
This was a fact.
VL were not a govt in waiting and so had no locus to form a govt. A referendum is nothing like a general election.
From time to time, VL leaders themselves made this point, as per Liam Fox above. Hannan was also very clear about it.
Boris Johnson was also well aware at the time that VL were not a govt in waiting.

Team takeover for speech on No Deal preparations @Policy_Exchange: Since the start of this leadership campaign I’ve travelled more than 3,000 miles across the United Kingdom. #HastobeHunt
I’ve had fish and chips on a Scottish trawler, a balti in Birmingham and a cream tea in Devon.

Most of all I have enjoyed talking and debating with members of the public about the changes I want to make if I become Prime Minister. #HastobeHunt
As an entrepreneur I want to fire up our economy, cut corporation tax and scrap business rates for thousands of high street companies up and down the country. #HastobeHunt

Black Hole
Astronomers have captured the first image of a black hole, heralding a revolution in our understanding of the universe’s most enigmatic objects.
The breakthrough image was captured by the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT), a network of eight radio telescopes.
'The black hole itself – a cosmic trapdoor from which neither light nor matter can escape – is unseeable. But the latest observations take astronomers right to its threshold for the first time, illuminating the event horizon beyond which all known physical laws collapse.'
Black holes are so small, dark and distant that observing them directly requires a telescope with a resolution equivalent to being able to see a bagel on the moon. This was once thought to be an insurmountable challenge.

Thinking about Us & how it’s Lupita’s FIRST film w/ her as the lead. Lupita is an Oscar winner & it has me thinking about how, if it weren’t for Ryan Coogler & Jordan Peele (both relatively NEW filmmakers) she might not have had these opportunities. Yes she’s been in StarWars...
...yes she was in The Jungle Book. Both of those films were excellent. But Lupita is a star. An Oscar winning actress & it was because two great black filmmakers were able to “break through” that she’s getting her things. Someone on here said...
...remember J Hud won an Oscar & her next role was Carrie Bradshaw’s maid? That is NO shade to J Hud but it just goes to show (what Monique said), the Oscars mean something TOTALLY diff for Black Women. Even Mahershela has been working constantly & has won TWO back to back...

Sex is determined at conception. Unless you're one of the >0.001% of people with a disorder that makes your sex ambiguous, you are easily & definitively identified as male or female at birth. Not "assigned", you are identified. Your sex is there for all to see.
You may grow up to question your sex but believe it, it is correct. Your questioning, your claim to be "non binary" or "trans" rests solely on your perception of how males & females are "supposed" to be.
There's no other explanation. "Sex" doesn't describe personalities or beliefs or characteristics, it only describes bodies. If you're attaching more meaning, you need to rethink.
