Lancashire County Council looks to protect
LANCASHIRE County Council’s Cabinet is to consider plans to protect over two and half million pounds worth of funding for children and family services, despite no longer receiving funding from the Government.
The move follows the Central Government announcement in June that it was stopping grant funding specifically targeted at local services. This means that the county council needs to save over £22m during 2010-11, in addition to its other savings requirements.

Big Brother UK Transphobia *Please Read*: If you weren’t watching last nights episode of Big Brother’s Big Mouth, then you clearly missed the appalling treatment of Transsexual housemate Nadia Almada. Cruel comments were made by the show’s host Davina McCall in which it was implied that Nadia’s gender reassignment had gone wrong leaving her with two penises AND making references to Nadia’s “Boyish Good Looks”.
It is UNACCEPTABLE in this day and age for this blatant Transphobia to go unacknowledged and unreprimanded. So I urge you ALL to PLEASE take to the following website and complain.
It is our duty as LGBT supporters to stand against such discrimination! If we don’t, then who will?
