The same guy who said it was gateway eugenics to object to incest on grounds of increased risk of heritable disease or disabili-... oh for goodness' sake what am I doing here, the man's just catastrophically mentally ill.

In many of his pieces he keeps reiterating a point about levels of desirability equating to worth. Missing the point that the equal worth of lives is about how we treat people, not about how pleasing it is to be deaf.

If he is trying to make any overall point at all, it’s that a person's subjective quality of life is theirs to decide, but that has no bearing on sanctity of life?

Nowhere in the article does it mention the racist origins of the Raise the Flag movement. Is it BBC policy not to?

A better question might be how far away are their nearest neighbours?

Tell me you’re a social little oddbod threatened by women in power without saying it.

Afternoon.

Much to unpack.

It’s a way to belittle women in power.

Yeah, and easier to get hold of than the days of trying to find the local tracksuit in the pub.

I do think just being strapped for cash is part of it. The ROI on a video game at £60, which provides hundreds of hours of engagement, trumps one night out in a regional town centre.
