Hmmm chocolate...

I have some ultra-nice chocolates :) They're like silk, pure lovely silk only, y'know with more sugar

Now I normally have a box around, ish. Usually a big box a month or a couple of small ones. There's usually one in the house or I can expect one to show up (because while I eat them, I never buy them). I can't eat them all at once because sweet things quickly make me ill – except cake and biscuits for some reason. Anyway, chocolates. I love chocolates. Not chocolate, you understand. I've never really liked big bars of chocolate, they've always struck me as dull (unless it's white chocolate. White chocolate is made by the gods themselves) and high cocoa solid chocolate is pretty vile.

But chocolates? Filled with nuts and ganache and praline and liqueurs? Little nuggets of tasty tasty art, oh yes. I likes them I does.

The EHRC needs guidence on whether to be bigots or not

So, as I said before, the EHRC is still looking to support homophobia in the European Court after our local courts already decided that homophobia was bad and wrong. The EHRC disagrees.

Because they have faced a lot of fury from gay people who, y'know, expect an equality body NOT to champion homophobia, they have now announced a consultation.

Yes, I kid you not. This "Equality body" is actually having to consult to see whether they should support homophobia or not. I'm just going to repeat that because really it's hard to believe. The EHRC, a supposed Equality body, is actually consulting the public to see whether it should support homophobia or not.

How wrong is this?
