“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

Having massive apprehensions about the amount of American military bases in the U.K. Read this yesterday and it got me thinking. After the press conference just now I wonder what the U.K. security services are thinking. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
The question no one dares ask: what if Britain has to defend itself from the US? | George Monbiot
So much of our intelligence and military systems are shared or reliant on the US – if it becomes the enemy, it is already inside the gates, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

This makes me feel sick. This is inhumane. We are so lucky in the U.K. It’s not perfect but it’s 100 times better than that!
Donald Trump has cancelled the $35 a month Insulin cap.
Prices are expected to almost instantly go back to $1500 a month.

In 2020, it became apparent that a lot of people had been asleep in science class.
Well, in 2025, it’s become quite apparent that they slept through history class, too.

That’s a nazi salute - he knows it and so does everyone else. Now it’s up to the media to square it with their conscience as to whether they let him away with it or not.

If the government shuts down Saturday, the richest man in the world will be largely to blame.
You may not get access to services you depend on just before the holidays because an unelected billionaire shadow president wanted it that way.
If this isn’t oligarchy, I don’t know what is.

We’ve got to stop calling those with different beliefs ‘stupid’. It’s not helping & makes people defensive/double down on their opinions rather than be able to have a conversation. Let’s figure out why people support things that go against their own best interests & happily consume lies over fact.
