Born into a Christian world so my expressions often derive from such, but with no religious meaning. Like FGS!
I try to avoid personal attacks or demeaning posts (unless they are really really funny!) 🚫DMs. PS: Mai is purely a homonym (My)
Seems that if you mention the N word* @support.bsky.team hides it. Seems a bit unnecessary? Sure some people use the term far too much but effectively censoring it seems a bit over the top?

*the National Socialist(sic) German Workers Party, not the other n word!

- 74 children including 58 babies have died in temporary accommodation in the last five years -

@antoniabance.bsky.social this is shocking. Where is the data from please?

Citizens Advice is on Bluesky yay!

And their reaction to the budget

While welcoming the end of the 2 child limit they point out that the rising cost of renting means the freezing of LHA could have a devastating impact on many families.

Is this false? Fake news?

Or is it correct?

Fake account (s) alert

These people are disgusting. Using a tragedy to make money. Not trying to make, actually making money. Because they know that at least some people will fall for it and send them money.

Even in the remotest of possibilities some aren't fake, don't send money to individuals.

Ok but the post was about retiring early.

Now I have read it I'm not sure if there isn't a conflation of 'economically inactive' and 'retiring early' as they seem to be mentioned in the same paragraph.

Also, not sure where the data comes from. A source would be useful.

He's not the only one. If this is to be believed?

What a cesspit this is. The more you read, the more horrific and downright frightening it is.

On a side note I was also quite disturbed by the claim that some teachers were fans of Kirk and some voted for Trump!

Sorry I just went off the 'Followed by' note on their account profile. Another account using your name and profile photo? Or Bluesky getting it wrong?

Keir Starmer’s appointment of Minouche Shafik as Chief Economic Adviser is not quite the progressive appointment you might think.

It's the last sentence that really strikes home. Have previous presidents had their portraits hung up in public buildings all over the States? Trump really is a King isn't he.

BBC News - He's accused of trying to assassinate Trump. At trial, he's going it alone

So it's all hype and hyperbole from the media and right wing politicians. Who'd have thought.

We need more high profile media pushing back against this onslaught of misinformation and disinformation.
