State support for UK banks
Bailouts: Govts found £1162bn (£133bn cash+£1,029bn guarantees) in 2008
£895bn QE
State is the lender of last resort
£85k bank deposit safety guarantee
PFI profits
£22bn a year interest on reserves deposited with Bank of England
Who else gets this level of state support?

Might consider buying some formula, diapers, and baby food and donating it if you have room in your budget.
Experts say a food aid program that helps 6 million low-income mothers and young children will run out of federal money unless the government shutdown ends within two weeks.

"America sneezes, and we get the flu" is the quote that runs through my mind frequently. Right now I'd guess that the Uk are at the part where you're feeling a bit iffy, but it's probably just a cold. Someone needs to sit our leaders down and read them the riot act, before we become unsalvageable

"What radicalized you?"
Nothing. I refuse to bow to the framing that my beliefs are "radical."
Kids should be fed not bombed or shot
Schools should be safe places.
Reading is an unalloyed good.
The world is amazing and should be cherished.
Science and medicine is star stuff understanding itself.

I pretty much bagged my dream job! Trial run, unit to furnish and we are good to go 🥰 I am absolutely buzzing! Never thought I'd have an opportunity to use my skills, after years of being the main caregiver for my wee mum and brother. Can't help but think they're somehow making things happen 🪡 🧵

You know when us sewists say 'this is my most favourite thing I've ever made'? Well this will take some beating to knock off the top spot! Sometimes it's little things that make you the happiest 🥰

*sigh* those couple of days turned into I don't know how long. But, the top is finished 😆 still to baste, quilt and bind. Not giving good odds on a finishing time... #quilt

So, hypertension seems to have crashed into my life. This aging business is a minefield of random smacks in the face! Only discovered because I'm changing meds for chronic migraines, thankfully to a blood pressure medication that should help lessen my symptoms 🤪

I've wanted to make a quilt like this for years, got the last blocks done today. When life throws you a curveball, make a quilt 🙃

If you think it can’t happen here, remember that it already did. In 1942 soldiers came with rifles to our home and ordered us out. They put us in internment camps. Most of us were citizens.
