They market their cars as weapons and we allow them on the same roads as children cycling to school.

And I still get weird middle-aged men in my notifications obfuscating for and defending this.

This is not a serious society.

She’s a fucking monster
It can be decades after a conflict ends for a country to even start to be considered "safe". Many refugees may never be able to return due to long term trauma. Mahmood is specifically talking about leaving vulnerable people in limbo and fearful for their futures. #r4today

People moan about administrators in the arts too, but also want artists to spend more time making art. Can’t have both.

Wes Streeting has received £225k from private healthcare donors in the past year and I just don't think my morals could be bought for the price of half a London flat. I don't know if I have a number that would make me sell my country's health service down the river but Wes and I are different.

Look if you don't want a ruling class made of pedophiles the easiest way to do it is to make sure you don't have a ruling class! It's just that simple!

The number of kids I know of already who are denied autism and ADHD assessments because they mask at school, and such assessments are only available *through the school system*, is absurd
Laughable. Or it would be, if it didn't pile more pressure on staff.

There is a multi-layered crisis in British society which the government's policies are exacerbating.

The answer? An AI-generated target. As they are planning to restrict access to EHCPs and SEND support.

Beneath contempt.
All schools in England to be given AI-generated pupil attendance targets
Unions decry move, saying it will put more pressure on headteachers without tackling absence from classrooms

At this point I do sincerely believe this anti phone and social media drive is rooted in the "social contagion" idea of being trans. They do not think she died because she used her phone, they think she died because people in her phone convinced her she was a girl.
