I think it goes without saying that 1) this is sexist and 2) people don't go to restaurants for their *daily* calories. We're not all la-de-dah Lords eating out every sodding evening.

Nigel Farage won't apologise for his history of racism because "if he apologised, he would be turning to his own support base and saying, ‘You’re all guilty too,'" a Reform source tells the Times.
So essentially he was a racist and he believes his supporters are racists too

She's got a point (it was about sportsballs). I never understood why the UK gets to compete as 4 separate nations at the sportsballs. It'd make more sense to select the best from every nation & put forward one team... surely?

Interesting thing to take away here.
BBC asked 5000 doctors to take part in a survey about overdiagnosis of mental health conditions. Only 15% of them responded.
And what do you think the belief will be of that 15% who specifically wanted to respond to a study into overdiagnosis? 🤔
