Some excellent evidence here on why forcing people with ME/CFS or Long Covid into work is a bad idea. Think there's little or no chance of the government listening through.

No! These fuckers put us in the position we are all in now by voting Brexit, by allowing the Tories the power, by letting us die during Covid, by denying us our rights! Starmer is paying lip service to the UK and fucking us over in all the areas that could help us, given half a chance. 🗑🔥

£40 recently for '79 pressing of The Specials' 1st album. But have also paid the same to back niche vinyl projects of limited number pressings by Rob J Madin/Brett Domino, and don't get me started on how much the Tom Baker DrWho box set cost. Still, it's no £200 for the gold edition of AatA's KotWF!

Can confirm all deaths so far have been hilarious. We played for an hour on @babel17.bsky.social's stream last night and got turned into Masseypaste, got our head punched off by a horse, drowned in grain and turned into a twat 😆
