I find it beyond irony that a country with such a high murder rate and deaths from drugs overdose can fail so abysmally to kill someone.

Here's today's column on the astonishing, ongoing mistreatment of people with #ME/CFS. Please spread it far and wide: the only thing which can break the media's wall of indifference is seeing an article about the issue go viral. Thank you. 1/2

Abandoned, dismissed and gaslighted: there is no excuse for the way ME sufferers have been betrayed | George Monbiot
Changes in guidance and science seem to have little impact on millions of devastated lives. It’s a social crisis playing out behind closed doors, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Could not agree more.
You nailed it, ‘legitimate concerns’ are those expressed by a reactionary voter group that Labour thinks it has to humour in key marginals while they sell the rest of us out to tech bros, Israel, arms dealers, utility company grifters & fossil fuel interests

At what point does ‘the masked men on the street have legitimate concerns’ and ‘Just Stop Oil/Palestine Action are terrorists’ become two tier policing?

One reason England does so well is our second generation immigrants outperform their peers which is not true in most OECD countries.
We are also very good at integration. And it's v sad that this is never acknowledge in debates on immigration.

This is the thing, I am happy to accept that I am wet, lefty liberal on immigration compared to the voting public, I'm not really prepared to accept the same on the topic of black masked militia men blocking infrastructure!
This should be the easiest open goal in the world for a progressive government - they are literally violent criminals. Most voters do not like violent criminals.

I’ve been telling myself to get up and have a shower for the last hour but I’m still freaked from a dream. I’m not even the 38th most influential voice in my own head.

Yay!!! Rice Truck Guy - a legend of the internet!
4 yrs ago today, a family member managed a truly spectacular own goal, splintered his domestic bliss, & in the process, united the world for a day.
On popular request, I shall now recreate the livetweet thread from that day
So gather around children, for this is the tale of The Rice Truck Saga
