I have spent 25 years as a regulatory lawyer of one kind or another, and I have come to realise one truth.
In any commercial context, the regulator will tend to be captured. And in any lucrative commercial context, the regulator will be captured completely.

I really don't think he's saying that, tho. More that there's a genuine risk of fascist authoritarianism under Reform of the sort we've never seen before under the Tories. Which I don't think is a surprising thing for him to think. Or, tbh, wrong.

I 100% recommend @pierrenovellie.bsky.social's book Why Can't I Enjoy Things? - hands down the best first person book on autism I've read. Obviously everyone's experience is different so I also echo others' advice to just talk to other ND folk about their experience and realise you're not alone!
