It seems to me there are very few honest journalists publications
Looking at The Guardian headlines about benefit cuts under the current and previous government are especially depressing, as they go about apologising for it, defending 'tough choices' etc etc

Imagine you built a car, kept it running, decide to sell it for some quick cash, then rent it back for more than you sold it for, but still have to repair it yourself.
Isn't that what we've done with our water, power, transport, and various public services? Did I miss something?

Just a tip from a blind person for all you sightings out there; there is no food that is not better served in a bowl rather than on a plate

Honestly people aren't joking when they say moving home is one of the most stressful things you can do. Glad my friend is jetting me move to their flat, or I'd he homeless

Sitting in the eye hospital recently I suddenly felt 'these are my people', everyone going blind together
