The thing about these grindset lifestyle posts is that they're all fake. None of it is real.

I was hesitant to blanket block government accounts with this list, and then I saw the kind of crap these accounts are skeeting.

Block freely. This list is not a place of honor.

One of my long held beliefs is that this is exactly the mentality anyone working in such areas of the charity sector, including human rights, should have. At the end of the day, our goal should be to put ourselves out of a job because what we do is no longer needed.

I've tried to share this with everyone I've managed or mentored in the sector. How can we make ourselves redundant. How can we make it so we're just ensuring Govt are meeting standards, not having to push for more.

I've never had curry or a kabab and don't intend to.
British food is the best. English breakfasts, Sunday roasts, fish and chips, pies, pasties, scones.
Also, our national dish isn't a chicken tikka masala we only think that because a Labour MP said it decades ago to push multiculturalism.
