I’d urge you to consider just how extreme a person’s views would have to be, for them to stand up and tell a crowd “I went to genocidal fascism Disneyland, and I was blown away by all the freedom and equality” in 2025.

Yes, again, none of “democracy or freedom and equality” are compatible with systematically destroying a subject populace of non-people who have no rights, that you have conquered and now rule over and murder with total impunity.

Signed off Elvanse titration today. Five years since first referral but we got here. Hasn't been a radical transformation but it's created enough of a shift to make space for some actual functioning and habit-building. Wesley Streeting eat my dust.

An independent taskforce *just* did a huge review of ADHD in England, and the conclusion was that it's "under-recognised, under-diagnosed and under-treated."

Vibes-based healthcare planning, that'll do it Wesley.
Considering Streeting's well stated belief autism, ADHD etc, along with mental health issues, are "overdiagnosed", I won't hold my breath for this doing anything other than being used to cut support, along with opportunities for diagnosis, for people who need it. #r4today

Turn the Armley Gyratory into a giant indoor/outdoor hybrid roller rink with retractable roof, open 24/7/365 and accessible only via underpass from the old British Gas site. Arguably very useful though depending who you ask.
lets say a wizard has cursed you with a lot of money. you are going to become permanently brain damaged simply by being in possession of so much money. the only way out of it is to spend a lot of money on something ridiculous and not at all useful
what would you buy to break the curse?

This is probably the last actual benefit of being a British citizen which is that they'll intercede on your behalf when things like this happen and in the face of their pet pariah state they refuse to even do that.

Miatta Fahnbulleh is asked about the govt giving the police more powers to restrict protests.
To be clear, what the govt is doing is exploiting the synagogue attack to ban protests against the genocide they’re complicit in, & Fahnbulleh is going along with that to keep her job.

Should be a resigning issue tbh, but then there have been plenty of those over the last year that we've just sailed past. I guess he & his government are too busy dreaming up new ways to accelerate the British police state to be arsed.
