When I grew up there was no #Halloween here in #Norway. Now it is mostly a money-pressure-drama-crazy thing for the kids. The closest our household will get to dressing up is Rufus self-sorting into a MONSTER-tray ;P

(Also, some spare bog roll storage to hand just in case.)

If you’re celebrating tonight, think of the animals.

Almost 100% of children in 73 neighbourhoods in England are living in income-deprived families.

Man with stubble, "Small boats arrivals are 37,000. There are over 4 million kids in child poverty. And 4.5 million who can't get a dentist appointment" #BBCQT

"We spend 90% of the media discourse on the 37,000. How much more could we achieve if we put that effort into the 4.5 million?"
