It definitely an issue but I can’t help thinking that it will be a diminishing issue as people start losing their jobs to AI and Robots. What is the Green Party doing about bringing in Universal Basic Income. Just send me a link to the Green Party’s ideas on UBI and I’ll read up on it πŸ‘

I was 34-37 very fit cyclist before I got it. As a photojournalist I got dysentery while in Indonesia then when back in the Uk got a flu bug which didn’t seem bad but 2 weeks later I just got worse rather than better. And then never recovered. Oh the stories I could tell you about my body with ME

ME/CFS hits people in different ways, but it’s painfully real. I had it for 3 years back in the early 2000’s β€” my body completely broke down. An β€˜expert’ doctor once suggested I β€œtry some exercise”… when I could hardly sit upright in the chair before him.

Deeply saddened to learn that Brian Harris, legendary photographer of The Times, The Independent & elsewhere, has passed away. My oldest friend from what we used to call Fleet St. Thank you for everything Brian. RIP

Brian Harris took wonderful pictures for the Independent and others. I am sad to hear he is gone, and so happy I knew him and the other photographers of the Independent for a while. This is from Prague in 1989. I wasn’t there; Brian made me wish I had been and feel that maybe I was. lnkd.in/eqgeDpay
