You'd never know it from some media and politicians but "The UK is among the countries with the least anti-immigration views in Europe. While in 2002-03 only 27% of the public felt immigration had a positive impact on the economy, this jumped to 66% in 2023-24." theconversation.com/what-britons...

Good piece on the self-destructive plans announced at Bristol recently.

www.bristol247.com/opinion/your...
Arrested development meme shows Tobias and Lindsay and reads ‘university managements are like business leaders who think they can cut their way to growth. Well did it work for those people? No, it never does. I mean these people somehow delude themselves into thinking it might… But it might work for us.’

A comment that shouldn’t need making about the estimated 400m globally with #LongCovid: just because we don’t have an agreed diagnostic test, your GP hasn’t made the diagnosis, you weren’t hospitalised with severe COVID19, doesn’t mean your condition is *psychosomatic*. It’s real pathophysiology
