AI has actively made life worse for literally everyone

- tech is now more expensive
- you cannot trust most media of reality anymore
- programs barely function
- energy prices
- literal psychosis
- your voice can be literally stolen for evil
- more spyware

but hey, you can avoid paying an artist.

Immigrants have helped, improved and enriched this country more than the likes of Farage and Yaxley-Lennon could do in a thousand lifetimes, so it would be quite nice if the government didn’t pander to feeble dickheads like them with rhetoric like this.

Retired ghost train animatronic Streeting said: “I’m so nervous. What if he picks up? What if he’s seen this ADHD thing and gone ‘Attaboy, Streeting! Why don’t you come to the White House and play a round of golf with me and my friends? They’re your friends now, too, Wes, and so am I’?”

In November an 18 month investigation into ADHD concluded.

It found ADHD is massively underdiagnosed with less than 1 in 20 people over 40 receiving treatment.

It said GPs need to be diagnosing it.

Instead a review has been launched looking into it being 'overdiagnosed'

Yup. My wife is autistic.
I'm ADHD.

Our kids are both autistic and ADHD. I don't think them living in the UK caused that.
I'm seeing people (understandably) respond to Streeting's announcement re ADHD/autism with 'well yeah it really sucks in the UK, no wonder people have bad mental health'. Some people...do just have autism, ADHD or other mental illnesses?

This is what happens when people have better housing, nutrition, hygiene, treatment for infections and long term conditions etc. Oh and vaccines.
Currently dorking out over this graph about child mortality with my brother. Just mind boggling to take in.

Sought and found asylum in the UK

Born Tomas Straussler in Czechoslovakia he fled his home during the Nazi occupation and found refuge in Britain at the age of eight. He later discovered all four of his grandparents had died in the Holocaust.

Radio 6 is a tribute to all that is best at the BBC. It is inform, educate and entertain in musical form: Utter loveliness. And then they periodically allow the news department to mutilate it with these context-free anti-asylum bulletins, reminding you of all that's worst about the BBC.
Radcliffe and Maconie on BBC 6 music is one of my favourite things

Having it interrupted by breathless news bulletin telling me ‘government has banned taxis for asylum seekers’ *really isn’t*

New lines like ‘Home Office spent £1k over weekend on taxis’ would struggle to make a local newspaper

Cash ISA limit cut to £12,000 as expected - though only for under 65s! A new bias in the tax system towards pensioners is introduced....

Please @oxfordshirecc.bsky.social @bradtbaines.bsky.social take action. These people are making no secret of their continued unlawful activity putting up flags in the night. This is not acceptable.
I deleted the thumbnail so as not to share their jingoistic pictures www.facebook.com/groups/12594...
Come on @oxfordshirecc.bsky.social. We're better than this. A) these flags are very distracting when driving. But b) we all know the intention behind them is to indicate hostility to immigrants, which threatens their safety and wellbeing. As a sanctuary county, please take them down asap.
I have passed these reports on.

The County Council have decided to only remove flyposted flags where they pose a health and safety risk. Will see what they come back with.

Still reeling from the Stanford report on Brexit. Reduced GDP by up to 8% and investment by as much as 18%. The UK Treasury would have £40 billion more each year if Britain had remained in the EU. Devastating self-immolation.

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.

They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

Labour's plan for a levy on foreign student fees makes no sense, unless it's to appease racists who don't like foreign students, or populists who believe in the lump of student capacity fallacy, that somehow they displace domestic students out of education.

Remember, always, that the post-Brexit-vote Tory government, and specifically Home Secretary Sajid Javid, deliberately and with malice aforethought reduced to almost zero the timely processing of asylum claims in the UK. They literally created the "overwhelming backlog" that traps people in hotels.

If we don’t signal our virtue every now and again - then so many believe they are utterly alone - “virtue signalling” is not there to say “aren’t I good” but “there are more of us than you might imagine” and “fuck you for demanding that only the brutal and the bullies may speak”

People are probably calling Labour racist because Labour keep being racist. If they want to stop being called racist they should stop doing racist things.

Quick reminder that in the 1980's economic migrants from the UK flooded European building sites. Cramming into accommodation to save money, a lot of the payments 'off the books' and sending everything they earned back home to support their families. Was so common a TV show was made about it.

The only Legitimate Concerns about asylum seekers are concerns for their well being and safety. For a rich country like ours to incessantly whine about these people as if we are their victims is perhaps the single most pathetic spectacle in British politics over the past quarter century.
No, I'd say it's racists and those pandering to them.
