Thérèse Coffey: Last News

ban on wet wipes is a patented attack on queer culture, and the gays aren’t going to stand for it.On April 4, British environment minister Thérèse Coffey told the BBC that the government plans to ban plastic-based wet wipes to fight water pollution — as if Tories haven’t done enough damage.90% of wet wipes contain plastic and flushed wet wipes do cause 93% of sewer blockages in the U.K., so the government’s concern isn’t unfounded. But clearly, Coffey hasn’t considered the cultural impact of her plan: for obvious reasons, wet wipes are a key part of hygiene for plenty of gay people, and toilet paper alone doesn’t cut it.The British government has proposed a similar plan twice already, first in 2018 and again in 2021, and nothing’s happened to wet wipes yet.
