Imagine the UK government ever doing something as simple and beneficial for young people as this. You literally can't. It is genuinely outside our overton window.

Clear growth policy available for the govt here.

I'm trying to work out the worst-value thing I've ever purchased and have narrowed it down to two:

-a literal scam where someone stole £500 from me in exchange for a suit which never materialised

-a ticket for the caledonian sleeper

Quite uneasy about how we have all apparently decided that private healthcare is just a default feature of middle class jobs now. This... wasn't a thing ten years ago, right?

Went on Reddit for a documentary recommendation and the top rated suggestion was an absolutely mental conspiracy YouTube vid. The replies were mainly arguing that it was bad because it wasn't antisemitic enough.

Why is all social media like this now
