I was a brownie in the 80s, then I was a Girl Guide into the 90s. It was a massive part of my life at the time and helped me feel more confident. I cannot believe what @girlguiding have done, how cowardly, how shameful of them. I'm gobsmacked

The restriction on car makes in Motability is a perfect and horrible example of Government By Vibes. it saves no money, it helps absolutely nobody, all it does is makes a few cruel and angry people feel better while disadvantaging people with mobility needs.

So #virginmedia don't like customers or indeed customer service. 4 calls at 10mins each just to navigate the menu to get into a queue to speak to a person. Now 28mins on hold to a "Tech Team", not because of a tech issue, but because the "Billing" options don't let you speak to an actual person

I'm so sick of discourse from supposed allies about where trans people went wrong.
Where we "went wrong" is that billionaires spent unimaginably large sums to attack us repeatedly and major media outlets have spent a decade piling on.

Dad is home on Monday night, finally. We thought he would end up staying in hospital another night as the Patient Transport seem to forget he existed (ooooooof) and finally got him in the door 12hrs after telling him to get ready to leave. But he's home, and the carers are visiting.
