Publishers do a lot of bad things (as the archives of this blog attest), but among the most infuriating–and, often, the hardest to remedy–is the failure to pay authors the money they are due.

The NHS won’t survive this winter with one of the reasons being that social care has fallen off a cliff - but Shabana Mahmood got to punch down on the migrants propping it up as “low-qualified” and “never expected to be net economic contributors”, so… I guess there’s that.

Reform UK has presented their latest plan for the UK - and I’m afraid the crayons were working overtime.
£25bn of imaginary savings, treaty breaches, punishment rhetoric and a health calculation method that made me roll my eyes so hard I nearly lost consciousness.
So, nothing new, really.

Trans Awareness Week
Danger - Conversion Therapist at work
Every line of this is wrong.
No-one ‘identifies as trans’. They might identify as as male or female and that might differ from their birth sex. More rarely, they may identify with a more complex identity - non-binary, gender-fluid etc.

I don't know why the "Piggy" thing is bothering me so much. It's one more unforgivable thing in a list of 20,000 unforgivable things, but I've been mad about it for like 12 straight hours.

I've seen many comments stating that jewellery will be taken off refugees as soon as they arrive in the UK to fund their stay as part of the policies. This is not true.
The policies are punitive/bad/misguided enough on their own and should be judged on what's confirmed without misinformation.
