Not a day goes by when I don't quote #RedDwarf in some way. But despite so many to choose from, the iconic line from the show that best sums up Rob Grant's legacy is obvious
"And the moral of the story is, "Appreciate what you've got", because basically, I'm fantastic."

The process that led to the Holocaust didn't start with killing people.
First it made them non-people.
Then it killed them.

So women having a say over when they have children is an βunregulated sexual economyβ.
Whoβd a thunk we were people, with autonomy, wishes and skills to give to the economy.

Maybe naively, I thought the Trade Envoy role was a place they put him where he could carry on with the lifestyle but he couldnβt do any harm.
It would be ironic if that is the role that gets him stopped; but no justice for the women involved.

Ironically (and very anecdotally), this push towards a stronger definition of βfeminineβ is giving more & more girls nowhere to go if they donβt fit in (and maybe making some consider their gender is wrong).

Good luck to everyone who thinks the NHS or social care works without immigration. If people choose to come here to work in these sectors the least we can do is let them bring their kids and partners so they can enjoy some quality of life because god knows itβs not the pay and hours theyβre enjoying

This, for me, was always so important, and probably why I am such a supporter of the principles.
The patient would get as per need, not want (because they could afford to demand it). And I always knew that the correct treatment is an option.
