Quite. "They're all the same and they don't care about us" was a common refrain during and after the Blair years. And then we had Corbyn and that change had to be squashed by establishment politicians and media alike.

They also can't get his wins because the electorate is sick to the back teeth of a two party system where we are not allowed to hope for anything that doesn't make everything shitter unless you're already wealthy.

"How could you get in this state?"

Incompetence.

I've seen one showing the share of wealth and it's really dramatic how it shifted since the Reagan-Thatcher era. Haven't been able to find it since.

The far right aren’t bothered about the finer points of asylum rules they simply want NO people of colour to be in their field of vision at any time, and Shabana that means you. Trying to capitulate like this achieves NOTHING other than contributing more to the climate of hate.

One day my son will watch Reeves and Mortimer and will realise that the humour I've been passing off as my own is completely stolen.

No surprise. Companies like that already own urban spaces such as around city and town centre shopping areas. One of the consequences of that is they can police their own rules i.e. stop people doing things that are not illegal.

My guess is it's a windowless room so that's to let some light in and it was only later turned into a bedroom. But if you HAVE to do that maybe make it frosted.

I've worked out why I have a fundamental dislike of anything like trading/stocks/shares/investing.

If you're making money without producing anything, someone somewhere is losing out and it's always someone poorer than you.

I remember seeing some terrapins in a park pond in Manchester. They were basking on a large branch that was floating on the surface. That was nearly 25 years ago.

Just text blether on here. Did a bit of video stuff shortly after my diagnosis but deleted them all.

No although only one person I'm in touch with on here knows me in real life and she's autistic too.

Too awkward a spot to collect the water and it's coming in that quickly any bucked would be full in a few minutes. Already soaked through four bath towels.

Builder might or might not be able to come out tomorrow.

This anxious guy does not need more reasons to be anxious.

Help me.

Bastard storm has done something to the roof and we've got a leak in the bathroom. We had the roof replaced at great expense this year but the bit that is leaking is separate and didn't seem to need doing. 😑

His Athletico Mince mate loves to moan about Corbyn. Maybe not now...maybe he's moved on to Polanski. That's all I can think of.

It's almost like when you tax the rich in a place you get to make that place a better place and even the rich just looking out the windows of their limos at most of that place in passing prefer to think "oh, that looks nice" rather than "I must prepare my bunker for the impending apocalypse"

I remember just last year that every day in every way, the media took time to inform me that Joe Biden Is Old.

But now that they've been handed the biggest scandal in living memory, the granddaddy of them all, the HOLY SHIT THEY WERE FUCKING CHILDREN scandal?

"Hey, c'mon, it's ... it's okay, man."

British Medical Association β€˜threat to future of NHS’, says Streeting ahead of doctors’ strike Health secretary accuses doctors’ union of β€˜cartel-like behaviour’ and tells it to β€˜get real’ over pay demands

Health Secretary Wes Streeting says that the British Medical Association, which represents Britain's doctors, is a threat to the NHS. Streeting took a record Β£225k from private healthcare-related donors in just two years.

I've been on the waiting list for 3 years (since my autism diagnosis team suggested I had ADHD too). Asked the GP about 'right to choose' and he sent me PDF forms that are not well put-together, don't have space for responses and didn't tell me how to get them back to him. ADHD block right there.

The same people ignoring this are the same people shrieking about trans people in restrooms.

Labour are doing things differently in government.

They're scapegoating migrants like Reform.

They're doing austerity like the Tories.

They're supporting genocide like Trump.

They're picking all the worst politics and mixing it all into a foul pot of shite.

IMO my cat (who has just had some tuna) is getting worse treatment than a battery hen. At least that's what she tells me.

Same (didn't have a SNES but had MS and MD). But when I try to play the MS the controller hurts my hands!
