I did A level English language at college. Less than 30 students in my year group did it.

Requiring migrants to know English to A level standard is preposterous. I'm sure >95% of natives don't have that level.

My colleagues & I have taken a huge gamble to set up @thenerve.news We’re trying to build a new independent publication from the ground up. Social media is our only distribution for now.

Sharing this article in your networks would make a huge difference. Thank you! 🙏🙏🙏

Post Brexit, the UK is desperate for any trade partner.

Brexit damaged and continues to damage the UK.

We can't call China an enemy, even though it's clear to everybody it is.

We depend on China too much to fall out with them.

We only have to look at Hong Kong to know that China is an enemy.

Unfortunately, we depend on China for everyday life.

Autocorrect usually thinks I don't give a duck but it can't pick up on us instead of is.

So much for AI. ;-)

This needs to be shouted from the roof tops.

The rate and severity of wild fires is increasing as the global temperature increases.

The wildfires, or at least the number and extent of wildfires, are also a result of human CO2 emissions. It's a form of positive feedback, and we should be deeply concerned by it, rather than blithely writing it off as not our fault.

A cynic would think the vets and the insurance companies are in collusion...

Is this late capitalism? 🤔

Random Hajile @elimodnar.bsky.social · 9h

May be, but pet insurance is a con too. Even lifetime insurance the premium goes up along with the excess. Excess ends up being £10 less than the vet bill. Insurance then doesn't cover majority of vet visits, if you claim your £10 for each visit the premium goes up even more.

We've had dogs and cats for 30 years. Vet prices have increased astronomically.

Random Hajile @elimodnar.bsky.social · 16h

Vets publishing prices won't drive competition. It'll let vets operate a cartel. Price fixing.
