flamingos , in Review says puberty blocker curb has not led to suicide rise

“We investigated ourselves and found we did nothing wrong.”

Mr Maugham said the review considered “current and former” Gender Identity Development Service patients, while his figures were directed to the larger group of “those on the waiting list”.

The DHSC has insisted that patients on waiting lists were included in the review as well.

They literally didn’t, from the review:

I have examined the figures provided by NHSE on deaths in each year between 2018-19 and 2023-24. They are based on an internal audit by the Tavistock of deaths among current and former GIDS patients

IzzyScissor , in Review says puberty blocker curb has not led to suicide rise

“We only saw a small rise, so until statistically significant numbers of children kill themselves, the brutality will continue.”

Why is “suicide” the metric for healthcare to begin with? Imagine if dentists acted like this. “No one committed suicide from not receiving a root canal in the last 3 years, so we’ve determined them to be medically unnecessary.”

apotheotic , in Britain’s richest family sentenced to 4 years in jail

It was a pipedream, but I thought for a moment this was about the royal family.

Conviction means nothing if you can’t enforce it. I highly doubt any of them would ever actually see jail.

wewbull , in Britain’s richest family sentenced to 4 years in jail

I object to the British label.

Prakash Hinduja is Indian born Swiss. His brother S.P Hinduja was Indian born British and the billionaire head on the Hinduja company until his death last year. The company itself is Indian, so the British connection died last year and was somebody not involved in the case. This was a Swiss trial of a swiss family.

Plus… Let’s face it. People with this level of money choose their nationality based on financial or business reasons. Wherever gives them the best tax break.

Drusas , in Please spread the word, help if you can.

Your post doesn't even spread the word. Write a descriptive, non-clickbait-sounding title.

Embarrassingskidmark OP ,

Go back to reddit. You’ll fit right in there.

Drusas ,

Seems more like you would with that attitude.

Doublepluskirk , in Oxford shuts down institute run by Elon Musk-backed philosopher

As soon as the term ‘effective altruism’ is rolled out, I know exactly what kinda cunt the person is

irishPotato ,

Alright I’ll take the bait, what kinda cunt am I? 😅 It’s just an idea that some bad actors (like Sam Bankman Fried) have run amok with, doesn’t discredit the idea itself.

What’s wrong with applying your skillset in the free market and then donating a percentage of your salaries to vetted, highly effective charities in lieu of directly working for those same or other charities where your skillset may not be as helpful as straight up cash?

In my view it’s simply a more empirical approach to donating your money to worthwhile causes, sure as shit does more good than the status quo where most affluent people just hoard their money and avoid paying taxes as best they can. I think of it as an opt in tax where a certain percentage of one’s income can be earmarked towards doing the optimal amount of good it can in the world current and future. For a long time one of the most effective charities according to give well has been sourcing malaria nets in Africa, not really the far futurism this article is criticising.

Wanderer , in Profits of UK’s private train-leasing firms treble in a year

Nationalise them all. Then subsidised the shit out of them, build new tracks build new stock. Fuck it let’s party like 1840. (I know railways weren’t nationalised then).

Also railways should own the land around the station.

Also the government should own downtown. But both of those are different matters.

RedditWanderer , in Profits of UK’s private train-leasing firms treble in a year

Private firms that lease out trains for Britain’s railway have seen their profits treble in a year, with more than £400m paid in dividends, official figures show.

The rolling stock companies paid out a total of £409.7m to shareholders and profit margins rose to 41.6% in 2022-23, according to the Office of Rail and Road, as the rest of the railway was told to make swingeing cuts and salaries were frozen. Taxpayer subsidies are still running at twice pre-pandemic levels.

So close the school. It’s had 8 years to course correct, and they’re not doing it. Close the school.

byroon , in Faith school banning parts of geography lessons, Ofsted finds

Ban all religious schools tbh

JackGreenEarth , in Faith school banning parts of geography lessons, Ofsted finds

I’m glad they’re talking about Jewish schools for once. I used to got to a school like that and all I usually see in the public domain is atheists bashing Christians, this is a breath of fresh air.

Honestly it kind of makes sense. If you think that God himself the ruler of the universe wants you to do it some particular way, then you're not going to give a shit if some educational authority tries to put down rules as to how the kids should be educated.

This is why religion has no place in education or government or a few other places.

Exactly. You’re going to work around them to ‘please god’. Good point.

Darkard , in UK economy in recession as households cut spending
Kusimulkku , in Jewish theatregoers felt 'unsafe' at comedy show - BBC News

One man, who attended the show with his wife and friends, told the BBC the incident happened about five minutes from the end of Mr Currie’s show after the comedian had unveiled both a Ukrainian and Palestinian flag in front of the 200-strong audience.

“He started waving it around and some audience members stood up - he encouraged a standing ovation,” said the man, who wished to remain anonymous.

Kinda weird for a comedy show
