UK Set to Ban Sex Criminals From Changing Their Names and Genders

Actually, the Law of God and Biology says they can't change their genders, but the UK will act to ban them from changing it officially by just filing Form 339 "I'm a Girl Now See" paperwork.

But there's a problem. The UK wants to crack down on people changing their names and genders to avoid having to sign up for a sex offender registry.

But apparently, if you're changing your gender because You're Really a Girl Now See, then the law... wouldn't apply?

Suella Braverman will announce today a lifetime ban on sex offenders changing their name and gender in an attempt to close a loophole that is allowing criminals to evade the sex offence register.
Details from other government agencies including HMRC, Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) HM Passport Office and the DVLA will be merged with the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS).
Any change in a known sex offender's details on any of those government agencies will alert the DBS and they will face prosecution, government sources told The Times.
The home secretary will use her speech at the Conservative party conference in Manchester to announce new legislation to introduce an outright ban on anyone convicted of a sex-related crime changing their identity, making it a new offence.
Currently, all registered sex offenders are required to notify their local police force within three days of changing their name. Failure to do so is a criminal offence but the onus is placed entirely on the offender to comply with the law.
Thousands of offenders are changing their name without notifying the police every year. Between January 2019 and June 2022, there were almost 12,000 prosecutions against people on the sex offence register who failed to alert authorities about a change in their personal information.
...

There are also legal hurdles that may still allow sex offenders to exploit loopholes.
There are concerns that any outright ban on changing their personal details would not be enforceable if an individual claims they are doing so on the basis of changing their gender or for religious purposes. Both reasons would be protected by the Equalities Act, government sources said.

What?

Aaron Walker notes that her speech warns of the danger of "going the way of San Francisco or Seattle."

So San Francisco and Seattle are now, officially, international jokes and cautionary tales.

She should have contrasted her plan with that of Washington State, which is going in the exact opposite direction, helping sex offenders hide in the general population and get jobs as caregivers for children.

"I don't care if anyone thinks this is interfering with their human rights."

--------
Possibly correct but large events often turn on what are seemingly minor political fights.

The Armed Ships Bill in 1917 debate in the Senate was one of those occasions. Those filibustering it (anti war types) actually hooked up with the pro war caucus of Eastern Republicans (Henry Cabot Lodge and Co.) to defeat Wilson's position that the Senate should adjourn. The Senate refused to adjourn which led eventually to the bombshell Zimmerman Telegraph being released.

Same as the debate in British Commons about the conduct of the war in Norway in 1940.

I can name other turning points but for every critical turning point--there are hundreds where the moment fizzles out.

Because Gaetz didn't announce a plan for what comes next, or something.

None of this will matter soon.

A new Speaker will be chosen that will also cave in another month on the budgeting process and force through another CR that fully funds everything. Gaetz will fundraise.

My cynicism is very deep.

Was that a sob I heard from EmptyTraitor Greene? She voted no. I gues no more sugar daddy Kev.

Shouldn't have tried to force Ds to vote for stupid border security in order to fund Ukraine. I feel like it's not over for Kev. GQP doesn't have a lot of other options that would get a majority of votes.

The dumb one was Kevin - he didn't think Gaetz had the votes, and Gaetz knew he always did. Kevin never seemed to know what the votes would be, so not only was he Uniparty and liberal as sin, but he's an idiot who didn't even know who was on his team and who wasn't...

Why else say Bring It last night...and now be this embarrassed?

Actually no. It demonstrates that a small but dedicated opposition can create pain for the uniparty. So the uniparty is having to understand the rules are changing. Whenever that happens, uniparty types get careless. More curtains will get dropped.

Dade Phelan was tool installed by RINOs and democrats, and behaved like the drunken whore that he is. The whole Paxton impeachment thing was based on nothing. Not. One. Fact. But hey, he's a straight shooter and a republican so lets not rock the boat, right?

Gaetz DID something to stand against the insanity. The Dems do EXACTLY what THEIR voters want.
To vote R is know you are voting, in most cases, for philandering, feckless, spineless words that have NO intention of ever doing anything YOU (America First) want when it matters most.
TWO trillion structuralYearly deficit , runaway inflation, open border, needless foreign war......yea, Kevin, you stand for nothing that a Democrat would not deliver.
If you wait to fight to when you KNOW you are going to win then you will never be fighting--that's your GOPe who know of no hill to fight and die on.

Yep. And a single senator as Tommy Tuberville has shown can throw even greater monkey wrenches in the appointment of apparatchiks, holding up funding bills via refusing to consent, and so on. Then there is committee mischief that can be performed.

Enough were vocal about it. McCarthy had a responsibility to pay attention to it - Gaetz warned him long ago, along with a good portion of the Freedom Caucus. He didn't heed that, because he thought it was biz as usual, GOPe would protect him...now he's just Andy 'Backbencher' McCarthy now and he has lots of time to reflect upon that fuck up.

392 Looks like a lot of commenters don’t have that hill they are willing to die on. Yes of course they will say McCarthy’s broken promises that got him the Speakership aren’t as important or never were important. Better that we continue to give the Dems almost everything they demand so we don’t upset the status quo.

My philosophy in this matter is nothing ventured nothing gained. I’m just tired of the same compromise surrendering that our leaders always do.

How about making all bills be read in full on the house floor, and requiring a minimum time for debate? Maybe something like 10 minutes of debate per billion dollars of cost and/or revenue?

I have no reason to be loyal to the GOP in Congress and every reason to piss on them from a great height. Since Clinton's impeachment they have done nothing but fund eternal wars to bankrupt us, given handjobs to wealthy donors, ran or retired at any pushback by the Dems, and have virtually nothing other than massive debt to show for it.

I could vote Democrat for that.

Posted by: whig at October 03, 2023 05:36 PM (4R3Gm)
