I made it through school without a diagnosis because kind teachers had time to help me. Austerity has removed that space. Maximising efficiency means uniformity becomes more necessary, and those who don't fit have to fight for the support I received, starting with getting a diagnosis.

That’s so yesterday’s news. They’ve just announced they’re going to take down the flags and replace them with ads. No, really.

Reform's £16k Union Jacks across Notts could be replaced with ads
The 164 flag banners will be used as 'advertising spaces' and will be paid for by 'businesses and partners'

Only ~40% of people in the UK were alive 50 years ago, so either the sample was disproportionate age-wise, or a lot of people said they'd rather live in a time they have no experience of.

This needs some comparative stats. How much was given in contracts to non-donors? How much does a donation change the odds of a company gaining a contract? Just stating that some companies which donated won contracts tells us virtually nothing - we're left to assume the worst, but without any proof.

I'm intrigued by the many data points which created these perfectly straight lines.
Also, we can presumably extrapolate back to check when Britain was 125% White British.
I'm not entirely sure this graph is useful...
