UK Parents Face Five-Year Jail Terms For Questioning Their Child's Gender 'Transition'
Authored by Steve Watson via Modernity News,
While schools have been given the green light to socially transition four-year-olds and exam boards slip pro-trans propaganda into Spanish GCSE materials, the government has published a draft bill that threatens parents, teachers and doctors with up to five years in prison for so-called conversion practices.
The new legislation, unveiled by Equalities Minister Olivia Bailey, targets efforts to change a person's sexual orientation or gender identity.
Penalties include unlimited fines, five-year prison sentences, or both. The government frames it as protection against abuse, citing reports of beatings, rape, threats, manipulation and even exorcisms.
Parents, teachers and doctors risk up to five years in jail if they try to talk their children out of irreversible trans treatments under a "dangerous" new law, campaigners have warned. https://t.co/ENCm6fo...

′British food will disappear′: trade deal after Brexit is hitting UK farmers hard (The Guardian)
|
|
|
Home-grown food may become a niche product for wealthy in our supermarkets as British farmers' incomes plummetFor Liz Webster, who farms 647 hectares (1600 acres) in Wiltshire, south west England, the latest impact of Brexit has been particularly brutal. About £400 per animal has been wiped off the price she can get for her beef cattle, a hefty blow at a time when all the inputs – feed, energy, fertiliser – are going through the roof.The fall in price, on livestock that typically fetch £2,000 to £3,000 per animal, is the result of a flood of cheaper meat arriving from Australia, the result of one of the new trade deals the government has signed since the UK left the European Union. Prices for beef in the supermarkets have remained broadly the same, but farmers have seen their income plummet. Continue reading......
