Yes, Blair and Starmer both introduced 'purges' of left-wingers from our party. The PLP even campaigned against Corbyn at the election! My own MP, past and present, is one of them. 🤬

Any improvement(s) that can be made would be welcome to all. 👍

The main problem is that autism is WEIRD, even to autists. And so very few NT assessors understand the condition they're seeking, or the people they're seeking it in. 🤷‍♂️

Nevertheless, Goldsmith founded the independence 'movement' for the reasons I stated, even if they haven't (yet?) been achieved.

#ZackPolanski is offering #Green #Socialism, and for that alone, he has my vote. How others use their votes is up to them, of course. 👍

"The Labour Party under Starmer" *HAS ALREADY* abandoned "its core idealism & principles."

#Socialism, anyone? Remember the working class? Unions?

#Brexit was created and implemented by #Billionaires, who sought to avoid pesky EU worker-protection laws like sick pay. They succeeded beyond their wildest expectations.

Perhaps he thinks there may be some socialists who live there, who seek a socialist to vote for? 🤔🤔🤔

The man who shot John Lennon did it to become famous as the man who shot John Lennon, so I don't name him, ever. This poem is something similar. 😉👍

I try to walk both ways, so as not to introduce physical health problems by concentrating on one way or the other. I hope I'm doing right...?

Definitely agree. 💯

But I don't think the DSM is junk. It's the best list of externally-observable 'symptoms' we have, to help assessors diagnose conditions, with *no* understanding of the condition(s). 😥

A list of symptoms, as autists know well, is *not* a *description* of the condition. 👍

Yes, you share something about yourself, as if to say "yes, I share something similar, and I sympathise; we're in the same boat. I know how you feel." #empathy

And the response is, almost always, "This isn't about you!" 🙄

That way lies philosophy! 😨😉

[I *love* philosophy. I have done since I discovered it, when I was about 10. 👍]

Oh, there are many shades of literality! 😂
