don't mind me just gonna rant into the ether
This has been a pretty shitty end to an already crap year. Just as I was wanting to get out more my back had other ideas and has given me sciatica last month.
Now I'm unable to sit or lay down without pain and it's making life so fucking difficult.

Don't get me wrong, chronic pain is a literal pain in the ass, however it is the most effective alarm clock I've had to date.
The only thing it's missing is a snooze button

yo like idk how aware people are in general of just how STUNNINGLY rare even this level of pushback actually is, on national TV.
Against this guy of all people.
This stuff actually makes people think twice. Something other than just totally unmitigated hegemonic messaging.

“This will include powers to ban protests outright, the government said”
Well, there you have it. Fascistic tyranny framed as protecting freedom. Absolutely fucking disgusting. Write to your MP, tell them how disgusted you are by this legislation even being proposed.

Generally in favour of a national ID system, but don't like how it's being framed & implemented by the govt.
Having a *free*, standard and wildly available ID is a generally good thing *especially* if they're insisting on keeping ID requirements for voting.

If the UK finally got ID cards via the backdoor as a "pothole reporting mechanism" I'd die laughing
Cannot stress enough how it is already possible to report potholes www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...
Public backs ‘super ID card’ which could be used to report potholes
Ministers have recently said they are considering introducing a form of digital ID for adults in Britain
