City of London banks have poured $100bn (£75bn) into companies developing “carbon bombs”.

‘Nine #London-based banks, including #HSBC, #NatWest, #Barclays and #Lloyds are involved in financing companies responsible for at least 117 #CarbonBomb projects in 28 countries between 2016 – the year after the landmark Paris agreement was signed – and 2023’

completely disgusted with Barclays UK being in a speed rush to be amongst the first to announce they're implementing transphobic toilet policing, as soon as possible.

one small consequence of this, I just closed my existing Barclays/Barclaycard accounts.

I've been meaning to do it for a while, this one just finally tipped me over. Maybe you're in a position to do the same? Don't forget to let them know why you're bouncing.

Another one for Rosie - "this ruling doesn't affect trans people in the slightest" - Duffield here.

So what's more likely?

Everyone like Barclays hallucinated what the Equality Act said for 15 years, or a judge chose to ignore a key part of it, as he wanted to be remembered for something foundationally changed before retiring, and was swayed in some way to do that?

Remember, the case was about if trans people were included in equal boards, not on facilities or sports or whatever else. Yet 'Lord' Hodge chose to go much further than that, as FWS said, 'they could dream of'.

So is it because he's anti-trans himself, or was he influenced by a 5 year non-stop hysteria to do it?

See how quickly Terf Island turns on a minority, all Minorities are seeing it and are afraid.

The Straights won't stand up for us in enough numbers, the haters will get away with this and us Queers will be forced back into the shadows at a Billionaires request
