Breaking character: I am open to the idea the media's coverage of Biden's age and mental acuity was fair or perhaps not even tough enough. But the fact that it was so much tougher than the coverage of Trump's (more severe) mental decline is damning and I can't see how anyone could argue otherwise.
NYT isn’t worth reading because they are in the bag for Trump

Folks, I really need some help. For the last 10-15 days, I've been pretty much out of action, which has put me two weeks behind on promoting my Film Stories 500 show in London next week.
I'd be grateful for any help/support in getting the word out.
Thank you.

I’d never heard of Katie Lam before this week but in this video she comes across as a 1950s school teacher who *really* enjoys thrashing children & these proposals raise the spectre that my wife, who has EU ILR, could end up deported. And that, after all, looks like the way this is headed.
Tory policy is to revoke permanent residence (ILR) for everybody who does not earn £38k - deporting most nurses who have ILR
This is put in the video as "who is unlikely to contribute more than they cost"
NB: video does not say EU settled status is exempt
No govt since Idi Amin has done this

I lost my sight two years ago. Mostly I'm okay with being blind. I've adapted well. I am very independent and have found new ways to "see" the world. But there's four things I miss seeing more than anything. My three children's faces. And the stars at night.

“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.”
