if you are still out here arguing that civilians at a holiday celebration are a legitimate target for "armed resistance" because of their presumed political beliefs, you not only lack any kind of analysis of power or productive theory of change, you have alienated yourself from basic humanity.

Bland doesn’t mean inoffensive. His triangulating, his pandering to Reform policies, his constant lying, his utter emptiness when it comes to principle, his willingness to throw vulnerable people under the bus all contribute to why he is so loathed.
How can this inoffensive man have become so viscerally loathed?

DWP Christmas bonus would just say buy you a turkey - but it should be much higher
The DWP's Christmas 'bonus' for benefit claimants might have gone some way in 1972 when it was introduced, but £10 isn't really gonna cut it

there is no natural golden ratio of abled to disabled ppl, and no upper cap on what percentage of population can be disabled. if you sicken and injure enough ppl, and destroy accessibility of public life in a hostile and unsupported society so a wider and wider range are excluded, the skys the limit

Always amused (not amused) at how regularly the idea that there is a 'right' amount of mental ill-health in British society and that we must somehow return there. Declaring the correct amount of mental ill-health based on what you are prepared to pay to mitigate its effects isn't how reduction works

Research shows unequivocally what the benefit limit means: kids go without food, clothes, and heating. You can think it’s unfair some parents get cash you don’t or made poor choices you didn’t. But if you think that resentment is more important than a child, I’d suggest you might reflect on that.
