No nation on earth holds stronger yet equally wrong opinions about its health service, education and national broadcaster.
We all seem to think we have insights because we were once poorly, at school and watched Blue Peter.

"I'm really depressed about the UK.
I hear that leaving the EU is still costing the UK a lot of money.
Can you tell me the impact of leaving the EU is having on the UK economy.
Is there any good news about Brexit?"
It's just so depressing and Farage is responsible

A person who values environmentalism but behaves environmentally selfishly, experiences cognitive dissonance.
This conflict feeds a sense of existential dread about their inability to make a difference in the face of large-scale environmental problems.
We're hardwired.

In a weird way, you've got to take your hat off to Jeffrey Epstein for successfully running a sex trafficking ring without a single one of his rich friends finding out about it.

Will everyone at the #bbc and especially @bbc5live.bsky.social stop describing the Royal Lodge as a 30 bedroomed house.
It isn't.
It's got 30 rooms and is massive, but it's not THAT big
And yes, he's a nonce but he's totally in compliance with his lease which was approved by the Crown Estate.

Fun music game.
Take two songs with the same name and post your combined score out of 10. How high can you get?
No covers/no triples (e.g. Power of Love)
My first effort, which i think is hard to beat...
Zombie (Fela Kuti) 10/10
Zombie (The Cranberries) 7/10
Total score: 17

I started taking a picture a day when I turned 30 in 2015. 3654 pictures later I loaded them all up and made a time lapse video. Nearly 2 and a half minutes of me getting fat bald and depressed. Never deleted something quicker. What a waste of time and effort.

This Israeli government decision to host Tommy Robinson will widen the growing gulf between the Netanyahu government and the British public, including the broad majority of Jews in Britain (3/4 of whom dsapproved of Netanyahu, before this new link to this anti-Muslim racist UK far right convict).

Gary Lineker on winning the National TV Award,
"It's not lost on me why I might have won this award"
"Aside from presenting Match of the Day.."
"Also, I think it demonstrates that perhaps it's ok sometimes to use our platform to speak up on behalf of those who have no voice"

Angela Bowen grew up in more deprived circumstances than the victims of the Rochdale rapists.
She became deputy PM.
She is bloody marvelous & a total inspiration.
She'll be back, if she wants to.
As UC claimant & basket case I always felt she had my back in the cabinet and now I feel less safe.

Much like Angela Rayner, I have been underestimated, albeit for different reasons, so she has very much been an inspiration to me in ploughing on and proving people wrong. On a personal level, I want to thank Angela for helping me, as a disabled person, to believe I could amount to something.
Angela Rayner's legacy will be bigger than anybody in the media who has been after her head since day one. Against all odds she has helped bring about a huge uplift to workers' and renters' rights. Meanwhile, journalists spend their days snipping women. Thank you for everything you've done, Angela.

I just nipped into Tesco to buy a birthday card & saw a middle-aged couple hassling an Ubereats guy about being "an illegal" & telling him to "go home".
They then let on to me presuming I agreed with them.
