Stop Palantir taking over our public services! Our public services aren’t for a secretive profit-hungry US tech firm. Sign the petition to tell the Government to scrap all contracts with secretive US tech firm Palantir.

Take Big Money Out of Our Politics British politics is awash with money from super rich donors. In 2023, two-thirds of all private donations came from just 19 people. These so-called β€˜mega donors’ enjoy privileged access to political p...

A crypto investor just donated Β£9 million to the Reform Party. Right now, billionaires can pour unlimited money into our elections, effectively buying our democracy. Think that's wrong? Add your name to call for a cap on donations today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ta...

They've all seen so much more than you have that they're unlikely to be particularly bothered.

Great to find someone else who's interested! When I was researching the thesis (I finished in 2018) hardly anything had been written about them. Were you able to find out about the people who owned the brooches in your collection and those who gave them?

Yes, specifically versions of military badges and what they signified in wartime. It was the subject of my phd thesis.

The Artist Who Can't Draw Hands is just giving up now and putting hands in pockets instead.

Tbf they started with the damage 14 years of tories had done. Despite some missteps I feel inclined to give them a bit longer to sort things out. 🀞

You have admirable patience. I'm surprised you didn't do it sooner.

Also why do they assume everyone they are trying to reach is on X when so many are leaving? I wouldn't go back just to see messages.

That's not going to help you recover. Does anyone take any notice if you complain about the food? The photos you've posted so far look appalling, unappetising and nutritionally lacking. No one would pay for that'meal'.

You have pockets in your pjs? Excellent. There are many of us out here who love your prints and are wishing you well.

β€œIllness is neither an indulgence for which people have to pay, nor an offence for which they should be penalised, but a misfortune, the cost of which should be shared by the community.” Aneurin (Nye) Bevan, Labour Minister of Health 1945-1951, #NHS founder.
This is worth repeating until it sticks.
