From poppers being unbanned to the EU referendum, and from u-turns on PreP to Xena: The Warrior Princess...
Here's the news you might have missed in March...
Politics
Corbyn will be
punished for his bravery on sex work
This --> “You
can't get rid of prostitution. All you can do is limit its damage. That

Down with the tampon tax!
Lib Dem MPs split 3 ways over
Sunday Trading laws
I was in favour
of the change – let local communities be able to choose.
Government’s
top drugs advisors intervene: Poppers may not become illegal after all
It’s all about
the science…
Psychoactive
Substances Act delayed while the Home Office works out what it has banned
They still don’t
know what they do not know what the definition
of 'psychoactive' is!
IDS loses legal
challenge to keep Universal Credit problems secret
Good
Danny Alexander
and the SpongeBob SquarePants lunchbox
The perils of
being a press officer
Theresa May

This Is What It's Like Being An Ambassador To An Anti-Gay Country When
You're A Lesbianhttp://www.buzzfeed.com/patrickstrudwick/this-is-what-its-like-being-an-ambassador-to-an-anti-gay-cou?utm_term=.fqEo4PDYR
Really interesting to read - not just the lesbian aspect but also being
an ambassador to Ukraine

movement

I'm a fan of the NUS LGBT campaign (as it was where I met Paul). I
support their right to pass their own policies. But they did resolve "To
encourage LGBT+ Societies that have a gay men’s rep to drop the position"
Education
End of grants
'likely to force thousands more students to work'
Not exactly a
surprise
How not to
chair a committee meeting in a university
I’ve seen all
these
HEFCE’s new

I agree with a
lot of this

A bad decision... “The UK once had a reputation for being a leader in
HIV prevention and that reputation now lays in tatters,”
Here's The NHS File That Contradicts Its Reason For Not Rolling Out HIV
Prevention Drug

http://www.buzzfeed.com/patrickstrudwick/heres-the-nhs-file-that-contradicts-its-reason-for-not-rolli
It shouldn't be up to NHS England to decide what it is responsible for -
it should just roll out Prep

depression

http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/article/35914723/the-lad-bible-sorry-for-wentworth-miller-meme-as-star-reveals-depression
Wentworth's openness about mental health should be praised. It is not
every day someone famous talks about feeling suicidal and the support available
to people who are.
