I’m rejecting design that creates dependency on just one mode.

While focus is often solely on asylum, and small boat crossings in particular, it's important to remember that Labour's hostililty against all migrants is harming not only individuals, but the whole country, with an estimated loss of £10.8billion, and zero actual benefits.

By the way everyone, what right-wing politicians say about immigrants is literally also what they believe about you.
You having an ordinary job is a kind of favour your generous employer and the nation has done you, allowing you to reproduce your existence despite not being AN ENTREPRENEUR

I love the way 'public' transit ticketing in the UK is so obfuscatory and complicated you need a maths degree to find the cheapest fare option.
The point of a system is what it does.

Sexual assault, femicide, domestic violence, etc. stories are all over the news these days and it can make us feel really overwhelmed and powerless.
