Not the worst thing, I know, but it’s especially irritating to be perpetually condescended to by people with such limited insight & lack of self-awareness.

Oh to be so smart. I do wonder, as a mere pleb, why I never hear them discuss why, even if this is the case, why it is obviously a terrible system that will inevitably barrel us further rightward each time & that perhaps we ought to do something about it? Almost like they’re actually happy with it

Perhaps. I do get the point isn't to show an accurate psych assessment but rather Jamie's reactions to illustrate his inner world & relationship to women (& that's fine) but like medical Dr's with hospital dramas, I can't help but twitch watching it. The series was still brilliant regardless!

Well worth a watch. Definitely got me in the feelings - all of them!

and then cutting the relationship dead, with no warning - recreating the rejection his rage functions to defend against. Seems like his responses were entirely predictable. Would definitely be taking that one for supervision afterwards, if I were them.

The gov refuses to tax the wealthiest to fund services, or reduce inequality. As long as that is the case, ministers’ beliefs will be shaped by that objective.

Worth pointing out that, as the wealth of the super-rich grows faster than the economy they by necessity buy more assets, pushing up prices & making the rest of us poorer, in an economic death spiral. The answer is to tax wealth more than work, to put wealth back into the hands of ordinary ppl.

Another way to react, is to ask what must be going so wrong in our society that it's making 25% of us so unwell each year that we meet the criteria of a diagnosable mental disorder? But that, I suppose, might lead to less convenient conclusions.

Even if I had such a lack of integrity as to be for sale as an MP I’d be absolutely humiliated to have it publicly known how little I cost. Shameful by every metric.

No problem at all, just DM me.

Thanks, very much appreciated!

negotiating transition years after they officially left service with all that entails in terms of shifts in identity, leaving many feeling stuck when they could be moving forward. I'm hoping this might help some of them. Consider having a look, & share, if you know someone it might help.
