Well horror has a lot of different genres. I dont think Saw would be a comedy but a lot of other body-horror things would, like Slither.

Well that is the thing, when looking at massive existential horrors in the world like war and climate change, a man who turns into a wolf is downright silly and not at all scary by comparison. So I think horror is best understood as a genre of absurdist comedy.

‘Brexit is a tragedy and it will be reversed.’ 💥

I guess the reality is less binary, in order to primarily centralise and protect wealth and power you need to have a degree of redistribution to the poor to keep that system stable. The two party system offers the choice of that being a little more or a little less.

This is an interesting question, is the state fundamentally a mechanism for wealth redistribution that can work to reduce or increase inequality or is it one that can only ever centralise power and wealth and acts exclusively to protect that mechanism. Is there democracy or widespread poverty?

The story of how a campaign won free social care for disabled people in Hammersmith : vimeo.com/1124826592

ME/CFS is a devastating condition that has long been denied, dismissed, psychologised and underdiagnosed. Research is at last starting to catch up with it, with glimmers of hope for those who have been left untreated for so long.
There's a huge BUT coming ...🧵

The NHS and social care would cease to function under UK govt’s new rules on foreign staff.

Workers will have to wait – from 5 to 10 years – before they can apply for indefinite leave to remain, claim any benefit, childcare, or housing support, despite paying taxes

Govt appeasing Reform.

DWP just admitted it will now be spying on claimants in Jobcentres as well

Jobcentre security have used body-worn cameras for ages - but the DWP has only just put a formal policy in place.

As well as a GDPR breach, the implications for claimants are vast, too.

15 UK banks ordered to snoop on state pensioners and other benefit claimants under DWP crackdown.

No court order needed. No right of appeal.

Banks will pass cost to other customers.
