Leaving the UK is normal returning is unheard of. 65 have left so far 0 have returned.

Viewers in Scotland have witnessed her vituperation for years. But now it matters, because the English finally see it.
Bruce’s obvious right-wing bias is disturbing, to say the least, on a debate show such as QT. Zack Polanski handled the situation perfectly, acting like a true leader. His integrity, compassion, and honesty shone through and the audience responded.
Zack Polanski has branded Labour a 'government of cowards' as he accused them of not telling people the truth about migration in the UK as he clashes with Fiona Bruce

They all know it BUT yet do nada. Scared of the rich that now control the narrative, while the UK becomes a binfire.
Admitting that rejoining the customs union was not “currently” the Government’s official policy, Deputy Prime Minister Mr Lammy did concede that the growth potential of rejoining was “self-evident”

Instead they're like "I will bankrupt my entire family to buy flights to a country where I may or may not get match tickets at any point, but I'm white so at least I probably won't end up in an ICE camp, eh"

I think the slide into anti-science MAHA wellness bullshit and Christian Nationalism is a direct causal line from advanced societies accepting obvious made-up wank like homeopathy, astrology or crystals or the idea that god or Jesus wants you to do/not do something is just harmless alternative Woo.

People vote for him and support him because they are racist and like the racism. No amount of evidence that he said a racist thing 50 years ago will change any of that.

What would make a tangible, actual difference would be if we didn’t see him on our TVs and on the front cover of newspapers every single day. That would be effective. But that won’t happen because our legacy media is owned by evil, power-obsessed sociopaths who want him to be Prime Minister.

This is actually real.

It’s the result of neofascist evisceration of the basic state function to serve the public interest and work for the collective good.

Covid contrarians were always political operatives working toward this exact goal.

There is nothing new about the most vulnerable in our society being targeted.

We all grew up with headlines about benefit scroungers and benefit cheats.

People still get sold on the lie that the people just scraping by are the problem in society.

i didn’t teach last year but i taught in ‘23 and ‘24 when ChatGPT started to take off & none of this surprises me

i mean, if you outsource thinking tasks, how do you expect to learn?

the only thing that *does* surprise me is that anyone would be surprised 😔
“When participants used ChatGPT to draft essays, brain scans revealed a 47% drop in neural connectivity across regions associated with memory, language, & critical reasoning.

Their brains worked less, but they felt just as engaged—a kind of metacognitive mirage.”🧪

Irish Minister for Health calls the UK's descent into transphobia out for what it is.
My head nearly fell off. The actual Minister for Health said this?

Wherever the far right goes, there will always be resistance, and Scotland has a long history of it. It is that resistance that has turned out to defend our friends and neighbours from Home Office dawn raids and has taken on the far right in communities across our country, writes Maggie Chapman ✍️

Everyone’s talking about whether Farage was racist to schoolchildren as a boy when he was racist to schoolchildren THIS WEEK. All the kids who are of reading age can read what he says about them.
John Swinney has responded to Nigel Farage's attack on Glasgow schoolchildren, calling it 'quite simply racist'

Public school boy, multi-millionaire Farage, & his party backed by the super-rich yet posing as "anti-establishment" are the biggest con trick in British political history, if he gets into No 10 the public anger & fury will eclipse that experienced by that other political con artist Starmer.
