There is no evidence that autism or ADHD is over diagnosed in the UK

I.e. none of them have a clue about how human evolution works
Nor that there’s no biological basis to race
In other words “race science” isn’t science, just bollux

It’s the notion of liberals beings socially conservative that I am struggling with

Plans to weaken protections for national parks will have ‘disastrous consequences’ say green groups Exclusive: Letter from 170-plus organisations calls on government to drop proposed changes to planning law

That's why we've joined with over 170 organisations in writing to the Prime Minister.

Our message is simple: Do not weaken the laws protecting our National Parks and National Landscapes. ❌

A scenic view of a National Park landscape with a winding stone path leading through green hills and valleys under soft sunlight. In the centre of the image, bold black text on a red-and-black hazard-striped background reads: “DON’T WEAKEN NATIONAL PARK PROTECTIONS.” Below it, in white text, is the hashtag “#NationalParksMatter.”

Our National Parks are at risk. ⚠️

From the rugged Lakes to the sweeping South Downs, these landscapes define us and our future. They sustain wildlife, communities and our wellbeing - and they must be protected.

A future that puts them at risk isn't what anyone voted for.

I taught med students at Cardiff for 25 yrs
The most impressive student was mature student with a first degree in English
This had provided her with a really creative & critical way of thinking around problems, particularly on ethical & social issues affecting patient care
Badenough is an idiot

It’s not the bilingual signs I am referring too 😱
It’s that the speech therapy dept is in both directions

That’s what I thought

I now have no idea what you are talking about.

The collectivism is surely democratic socialism not social democracy!
Why do you associate collectivism with social conservatism

He really is. Ignorant and proud

Even at eye level they can be confusing

Food safety regulations “place major restrictions on individual decision-making at every level” of production (growers, manufacturers, distributors, shops, restaurants)
So, do we scrap these regulations & bring back salmonella, shigella, Typhoid, Hep A, campylobacter etc in quantity, Lord Wolfson?
🤡

Do you mean economically conservative (ie neoliberal) and socially liberal?

I’m sure Australian Aboriginals, the Māoris, & the English speaking peoples of South Africa, India, the Caribbean, Hong King etc will be thrilled to be called Anglos

Don’t let Ed Davey’s jolly antics fool you
This Labour Bill has already passed by the Commons with Tory, @libdems.org.uk & Reform support
It’s now going through the Lords
So now you know exactly where the LibDems sit both on welfare, on economic policy & on authoritarianism
Way right of centre

But it doesn’t mean that it is compatible with the HRA does it?
Stuff the @libdems.org.uk
Stuff “personable” #EdDavey
The LibDems continue to cling to neoliberalism despite pretending to be more progressive than Labour

15 banks ordered to snoop on state pensioners under DWP crackdown The Telegraph newspaper reports banks will be required to monitor pensioners’ bank accounts and share payments data

15 UK banks ordered to snoop on state pensioners and other benefit claimants under DWP crackdown.

No court order needed. No right of appeal.

Banks will pass cost to other customers.

Those accused of fraud won't get legal advice. The making of another Post Office type scandal.

USA has had at least 9 of these forever
Despite the pretended separation of state & religion, when has it had a President who isn’t loudly Goddy? (An atheist stands even less chance than a woman of becoming POTUS)
And it’s always loved executing people or locking them away for decades

No Hamas here

Aerial picture of Gaza

Over the past 2 years, Israel has dropped 200,000 tonnes of explosives, destroying 90% of Gaza and killing

~68,000 Palestinian,
~20,000 children,
~12,600 women,
1,670 medical staff,
254 journalists,
140 civil defence,
346 UN aid workers.

Call it what it is: GENOCIDE.

Ugh blocked
I want no genocide deniers appearing in my posts

The time devoted to the two deaths in Manchester multiplied by 33 probably gives the number of Palestinians murdered at that time?

We can't tax billionaires, because they might take their tax avoidance to another country. But we can drive out brilliant people who do much-needed work, contribute to our society and culture, pay tax, create jobs, and have done nothing wrong. That's fine, apparently.
