Wes Streeting is a fucking quisling and I will never ever forget that.
The fact that this person remains Health Secretary is objectively one of the most significant British political scandals of the post-Covid era. But because he's doing something the media barons like, everyone has decided it's fine.
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 £225k from private healthcare-related donors in just two years.

I have a gentle hatred for the term "bi-weekly", is it fortnightly, or is it twice a week, no-one knows.

Hey Autistics– what’s a random sensitivity you have that others don’t seem to have?
My ex couldn’t stand the sound of styrofoam. Like, if you bought a new coffeemaker and it came in styrofoam packaging he would have to leave the room.
I don’t like loud bass in music. It rattles me, in a bad way.

It's the Fesshole/Vagina Museum crossover event you've all been waiting for. Tons of you tagged us into this across all of our socials, asking for a fact-check. The consensus of the reply guys is that it Didn't Happen. However, this is in fact very possible. Here's why...

Parents, please check your kids’ candy this Halloween. I’ve just found an ancient metal whistle with the inscription “QUIS EST ISTE QUI VENIT" inside a Snickers bar. I blew it and heard a note of infinite distance, and now I’m haunted by a figure in pale, fluttering draperies. Be safe.

The replies to this are outstanding. Great opportunity for me to remind you all that Wes Streeting is a fucking quisling.
Meeting yesterday with Brianna Ghey's mother Esther - and pupils at Brianna's former school - was a powerful reminder of why controls on social media and smartphone use in schools is so important for children, teachers and parents. (1/2)

If you saw someone take food from a supermarket, no you didn't.
Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?

Why does it need to be innate to be respected? Choices deserve respect. If I had chosen to be a lesbian, and frankly, why wouldn't I, my wife smells amazing. Anyway, if I had chosen it I still deserve rights. The right to marry, the right to a family, the right to live in dignity.
“The existence of even one ex gay dismantles the central lie of homosexuality, that it is an innate characteristic from birth and therefore should have human rights awarded to it.”
