Transgender nurse denies ‘staring at breasts’ at employment tribunal

A transgender nurse at the centre of legal action over trans women using female changing rooms at a hospital has denied claims that she stared at her colleagues’ breasts.

Rose Henderson, who was born male but identifies as female, also denied walking around in boxer shorts and repeatedly asking a female nurse if she was getting changed.

Henderson instead claimed that she only ever “sarcastically” asked a different female colleague if she was almost changed when she was in a hurry to leave work.

Daughter of man infamously shot by Dick Cheney gives VERY sarcastic tribute

The daughter of a businessman infamously shot by Dick Cheney could not contain her disdain for the late former vice president in the wake of his death.

Sally May Whittington, the daughter of businessman Harry Whittington, told the Daily Mail that her father being shot by Cheney in 2006 was an ‘unfortunate incident’ that defined her family’s public life.

Asked if she had any thoughts on the shooting following Cheney’s passing, Sally said: ‘We’ve been having thoughts on it since February 11, 2006.’

The Supreme Court used a far-fetched hypothetical to axe minimum sentences for child pornography

The members of Canada’s Supreme Court have such wonderful imaginations. They are able to look at the facts of a case – or a couple, as recently brought before them regarding prison sentences for accessing and possessing child pornography – and invent an entirely unrelated and far-fetched scenario in order to strike down a mandatory minimum sentence as unconstitutional. It’s an impressive exercise: one that risks undermining the legitimacy of the Court in the eyes of the public (or further undermining that legitimacy, depending on one’s perspective) with just one creative-writing assignment. Because if the Supreme Court can simply fabricate any scenario it wants, no matter how tenuously related to the actual case before it, and use that invented case to strike down law, then no law could possibly survive a Supreme Court challenge.

Huntingdon suspect ‘linked to four knife crimes before attack’

Police are investigating whether the suspect in the Huntingdon train stabbings was involved in four knife-related incidents in the hours before the attack.

There have been calls for an urgent investigation into the police’s handling of the case amid claims there were a string of missed opportunities to apprehend the 32-year-old before the incident.

Cloned meat is quietly getting closer to being sold in Canada — but people may not know they’re buying it

Cloned meat could be coming to a grocery store near you. Whether you’re receptive to the technology or not, you may be none the wiser from looking at the package. Health Canada has made moves to lift restrictions on meat from cloned cattle and pigs, no longer considering it a “novel food,” meaning it could be commercialized without notification or labelling.
