    As much as this may well have happened, and is shitty if it did:

    For those unaware, using the express as a source is like saying you overheard the news story from a racist loner in a pub

    Counting on the Americans not to know the difference between a local council and the UK Government, I guess.

      Eeh, people from europe fail to understand the distinction between state and federal government in the US all the time - because why should they know, despite the nuance both systems at their heart are aspects of the US government. Broadly the same deal as the distinction between council and central government in the UK (assuming the express isn’t making stuff up again)

        Sure, just like how France’s government is an aspect of the EU’s government.

    Ensure women and girls are safe

    Why not boys? Could have been included by writing children for instance. Sexist very much?

    Well, she got a point there. Terf Island ain’t got it name for no reason.

    I guess I dont have to explain the hypocrisy in her comment (just before it gets misunderstood)
