That’s how gamblers with a disorder feel, especially facing criminal charges. A nice bloke or woman in a horrible position with no choice but to speak about it.. rings a bell eh. Do you have the same empathy for them?

Keeping crime out of gambling? Or letting operators keep proceeds of crime…. 🤔

Specialists have a new phrase for autistic children too exhausted to attempt school. "Emotionally based school avoidance".
Well, no. Forcing exhausted children to endure yet more pain, overwhelm, bullying and bewilderment, in a system 100% not designed for them, isn't an 'emotional' failure, is it.

Keir Starmer has enabled the rise in hate crimes in this country since he took power. I hope there is a coup to topple him soon. He is a racist.

And not a word out of his white supremacist adjacent mouth to condemn what is happening to our country.

Yesterday, the largest far-right protest in UK history marched through London, led by racist Tommy Robinson.

Today, we say: They don’t speak for us — and they won’t have the last word.

This Wednesday we come together against Trump and for a better future. Do everything to be there.

Labour up to it’s neck in Palantir, 48 Enterprise Zones and NHS privatisation hence no EU rejoin

Another HUGE reason (one of the main reasons) why I can’t vote Labour again. Why does Starmer think he won the leadership contest in 2020?
(Because he was a Remainer)
We didn’t think back then that it was all going to be smoke and mirrors.
No prospect of UK rejoining EU in my lifetime, says Starmer’s reset negotiator

Sharing #individual stories of real, day-to-day life as an #autistic human is very likely the most important 'visible' form of #public #education a human can do to expand awareness of us in #mainstream spaces, #education, etc.

This is risky because, well, they don't want to care about us.

I lived near Staines at the time so thought it was named after that, in my defense I was under 10 😬

I seriously wonder:
How many highly intuitive, intelligent and totally sane women and men have been labeled as crazy because they got too close to figuring out someone else's bullshit. - Alex Myles
People are not protected, products aren’t even regulated well (RTP) so operators can choose their own versions of RTP% with little oversight, community jackpots, cash back to ensure people keep playing, game providers able to apply bonuses directly to an operators site? £2 & £5 spins?
