    Hi Jordan, I think you are missing the point? The party have no such issues with trans people, as outlined. I hope it helps.

    Hi Emma, I don’t think there’s any argument(no disagreement), we support trans people against the persecution, hostility and violence, without hesitation. I hope we have resolved the issue.

    I’m thinking, trying to recall issues or an event here?
    Think the ‘issue’ stems from the victimisation of trans people. That trans people are the victims of hostility, violence even brutal murders. Can’t recall anything here (in the UK) perhaps in the US? If so, nothing here about it, to my knowledge?

    ‘Rights’ then for trans people. That they should not be victims of hostility or violence! (The camp I’m in, which we should all be in!)

    Transphobia; if you question a trans identity, lifestyle? This can lead to the accusation you don’t care about the ‘rights’
    of trans people. Indifference to their plight…ultimately murder?

    If this wasn’t dreadful enough, the princess has been locked up by her father. Yesterday, Princess Latifa urges UK police to reopen sister’s kidnap case. Princess Latifa claims this is the work of her father.
    I posted (football thread) about Manchester City’s Abu Dubai owner, Sheikh Mansour, a member of the Abu Dhabi royal family, who it’s claimed is using the club ‘sportswashing’ its Country’s tarnished image, say Amnesty International.

    Princess Latifa, the captive daughter of Dubai’s ruler, has appealed to UK police to re-investigate the kidnap of her older sister from a Cambridge street more than 20 years ago.

    Return to the WHO. Revoke laws on Trans people serving in the military. Pledged to commit to Paris climate Accords. Stop building the Mexico wall. Reversing a travel ban to mainly Muslin and African countries.
    My apologies the WSJ might have a paywall?

    I saw that. Unfortunately, it seems a solution (within Capitalism) in knocking out any alleged opposition to Syria’s Bashar al-Assad.
    I posted Bashar al-Assad systematical murder of 55,000, 13,000 by hanging according to AI of anyone deemed in opposition to him, on the Syria thread.

    A German court has sentenced a former Syrian intelligence officer to four-and-a-half years in jail for complicity in crimes against humanity.

    Hours of witness testimony laid bare the mechanics of the Syrian regime’s alleged brutalities. Prosecutors described killing and torture on an “almost industrial scale”

    Labour brought in new laws to jail any employer, who paid their workers with above pay norm increases, flouting Labours controls on wages….. to get inflation out of the system.
    Blair bought in the working hours opt-out clause, when the EU bought in the Working Time Directive, stopping unscrupulous bosses from exploiting workers with excessive hours!
    Who needs enemies with friends like Labour!

    Princess Latifa: UK under pressure to act over allegations against Dubai’s ruler

    For a long time the UK has seemed prepared to play down the disturbing allegations against its close ally, Dubai’s ruler, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum.

    Manchester City’s owner Sheikh Mansour, who is a member of the Abu Dhabi royal family, who has been accused by Amnesty International of ‘sportswashing’ its Human Rights abuses. Abu Dhabi are to carrying out the sentence that was imposed on a then child, who is now a man, the death penalty. Shouldn’t there be an * when Manchester City win the Premier League?
    Now this! Abu Dhabi is nothing more than a family thiefdom

    Slightly off topic. Manchester City which is owned by Sheikh Mansour, a member of the Abu Dhabi royal family and deputy president of the United Arab Emirate, accused by the U.N of ‘sportswashing’ its deeply tarnished image.
    I bring this up as a number of tweets on the party (@OfficialSPGB) Twitter account page, vociferously accused us of wanting to be a small elite……He’s made a Freudian slip, as you can’t get much smaller than the UAE, run by a family dynasty! But the tweeter obviously is not interested, anything to fit his agenda, having a myopic view of the world.

    Today the news of missing family member.

    The US will also name a special envoy to Yemen, to put more pressure on the Saudis and Emiratis and the Houthi forces they are fighting, to make a lasting peace agreement.
    ———

    It’s the norm that countries are eager to sell their wares and do business deals in death.

    Any new impetus by the new US administration, is better than that taken by the previous US administration’s stance on Yemen, and its ‘stance’ on warring factions elsewhere in the region, Syria? Let’s see what happens?

    Biden said the conflict in Yemen, which has killed more than 100,000 Yemenis and displaced 8 million, had “created a humanitarian and strategic catastrophe”.

    The United Nations says Yemen is the world’s worst humanitarian crisis, with 80% of the population in need of aid or protection.

    ——

    Compare this with the plight of Venezuelans*? Compare Venezuelans plight to shell shocked Yemenis or Syrians. It’s not only Venezuelans trawling through landfill. Syrians are trawling landfill looking for something to eat for their family! Source for this Twitter!
    We (Socialists) were accused (on Twitter) of wanting to be a small powerful elite…..do away with people’s freedoms and stop people living a decent life? He has no complaints about Arab States, run by family dynasty’s, who exploit migrant workers, who lock up human rights campaigners and its critics. Who deny people the right to vote…..
    * On virtually every party tweet someone brings up Venezuela!

    Yemen war: Joe Biden ends support for operations in foreign policy reset

    The conflict has left millions (14m Say the U.N, the world’s worst humanitarian crisis in 100 years) of Yemenis on the brink of starvation.

    The US is to end its support for offensive operations by its allies in Yemen, which has been devastated by a six-year war in which more than 110,000 people are believed to have died.
