Hi, I’m a Londoner and a writer, living in Marrakech. I write for TV, it’s my day job. I read, walk, swim, socialise, into art, nature, film, TV (🤍 sci-fi /fantasy). Zero interest in online bickering so quietly quit X. On a joy and friendship quest instead
…maybe we shouldn’t, maybe we’ll enjoy the consequences of their flaws or love to hate them. Or redeem them only to send them back to their dark core. An anti-hero’s journey. Maybe they’ll tell us something relatable we don’t want to hear. Life’s shits can be useful, I take notes. 2/2

Yes, details like the “hit choreography” and engraved bullets are like a film plot. So it feels more like entertainment than real life and keeps us hooked. Everything is copy has become everything is a podcast. (Or true crime documentary).

We get an abridged version on Brit news (even less here in Marrakech) A healthcare debate appears much needed but one feels for the family of the victim because of the media coverage, speculation and subtext of victim blaming for what is a corporate and political ideology.

The NHS was underfunded for years by a government who ideologically opposed it. They wanted a private healthcare system and used Covid and NHS inefficiency as an excuse as private healthcare companies circled. The Brits feel strongly about keeping it and a new labour leader may save it, we hope.

In the UK, we assume Americans with healthcare receive immediate state of the art treatment. We assume Obamacare improved things for those who cannot afford expensive insurance. We know insurance companies say no to maximise profits but when it’s people’s lives - wow, it’s morally bankrupt.

Yes, it’s shocking given the amount people pay for health insurance. Are those deaths due to people not getting treatment as they’re uninsured or a result of inferior treatment pathways in ‘free’ public hospitals compared to private healthcare, I wonder ? It’s a scandal.

No, really? I thought our cancer survival stats in particular were terrible due to the NHS waiting list.

Makes Brits grateful for the NHS, free for all at the point of need, although it’s woefully underfunded. Huge waiting lists, people lose loved ones for that reason. American healthcare seems, medically at least, superior.

Ah I see, so there’s a fair bit of public disgruntlement. I’m all for free speech but agree, poor taste considering a family lost a loved one in awful circumstances. Then again social media is hardly a bastion of empathy.

😀 Immediately googles kei truck and decide I need one to hold a mini parade with mini floats. Theme yet to be decided.

It is. Is this mushroom a guest at a wedding?
