TOO LITTLE, TOO LATE. For shame, Mr Johnson and the team you pretended to lead. Preventable deaths on your hands. They will not return to us. You live on, rich and vainglorious.

🚨| Plans to double the Indefinite Leave to Remain qualifying period from five to 10 years will only deepen uncertainty and financial hardship for internationally educated nursing staff.

Ministers must scrap these plans which will only worsen the staffing crisis and put patients at risk. ⬇️

This is a really interesting article about a horrifying distortion of sign language happening in the UK, and which its creators are now trying to export to other countries and their sign languages

Learn actual sign languages from Deaf people, not from hearing people making their own weird versions!

These threats are grim, disgusting and unacceptable.

They’re really common among anti-trans obsessives.

Which is why they were banned so often from social networks. It wasn’t censorship, it was standards.

Removing those rules has only emboldened hate:

Covid jabs gave under-18s heart problems – but were less risky than catching virus
The health impact of a Covid infection was higher than the risks from the vaccine for teens and children - but it won't settle arguments over current vaccine policy

For local knitters/crafters, John Lewis is moving their haberdashery to a smaller corner of the back of the second floor but while they do that, you can’t buy things when the shop is open!

When big shops ask why they aren’t making sales, I would point to the local department store who are moving their haberdashery within store and have the entire section closed to sales during shop hours!

URGENT ACTION 🚨

If you do one thing for trans rights today – contact your MP about the proposed EHRC Code of Practice, which would devastate trans people's lives.

My goodness. Please don’t send in ghosts. They are very frightening. We only rate dogs. Thank you... 12/10 (IG: theodore.goldenvelt)
ahh! a small fluffy ghost sits on a hardwood floor staring directly at us. but actually... the longer we take it in, the more cute the ghost becomes. one could even mistake this little guy for a golden retriever puppy wearing a sheet with eye, ear, and mouth holes cut out of it. even though he gave us a fright, we would still pet this ghost puppy.

People may not be familiar with Murray. He's a proper roaster in many ways but this was a highlight - going to jail for naming the female accusers in a sexual assault case who had legal anonymity, getting them subjected to wild abuse.

Progressive!

Every time someone complains about Southside train station names, we should rename another station. Shawlands becomes Pollokshaws North; Queens Park becomes Pollokshields South; Glasgow Central becomes Pollokshields North. https://www.glasgowbell.co.uk/pollok-southside-train-station-names/
Who Polloksed up the Southside’s station names?
Four almost identically named train stations lie within two miles of each other. Why?

At a local craft show today with my mum and the horrified sound that a woman made when she was told that the bag of 10 balls of Noro yarn cost £50 was just astounding. She was even more horrified to discover that the RRP for it was £100.
