gordon, stan, students can still take silent courses though, hiking or play golf. those without a scholarship, pay school fees of $40000.00 euros per year. the school still strives to promote excellence, but it has changed with the times. it now accepts girls and the living conditions are a far cry from those the charles into during his time here. and the book doors at deep deposit, there is a live. so in those days, that sort of boating school, people's rose early to fantasy, they washed with cold water in certain unheated dorms. these glow charles never forgot the icy breeze that would blow through the windows of his dormitory every night. and it was at night that he often fell victim to harassment and brutality. boyd daddy deleted tremelo, it was very unhappy and that was a reason for the great lack of understanding between him and his father. he had been very happy at this school called while charles was quite miserable on priscilla i so plus the press made fun of him one that that's hard enough for an adult, but it's worse for a young student. and i remember how often it was at the time in the sixties and seventies when you have the proper rossi who jumped out from behind, taking photographs almost

easier for trans people to change gender, but uk ministers say it would have a significant impact on equality laws. we can speak now to our scotland correspondent, lorna gordone it will have a negative impact on uk law. it is worth looking at the letter that alister jack, rishi sunak�*s man in scotland, sent to the first minister, nicola sturgeon, yesterday, informing her he would trigger a section 35, the first time that has been used in the nearly quarter of a century it has been on the statute books. he said both governments have a shared desire to protect both the rights of women and transgender people, but that he was concerned about the adverse impact on, amongst other things, gp wide equality legislation. he will set out later today in full what he considers to be these adverse effects. but he mentioned he was concerned about the impact on single sex clubs, associations and schools, the protection of things like equal pay and the chilling effect on single sex spaces. he also said there would be significant complications from having too many different gender recognition regimes in the uk. nicola sturgeon has said this is a full frontal attack on the sc
