#1 on my list of things to address.

Advertising should reflect its target market, not society in general. Funeral plan adverts are over represented by older people.

Breaking: it's now official, the pro-EU D66 party came first in the Dutch election. Their best result ever.

The National Press Agency has just announced the final vote count. It’s a narrow victory with D66 just 15,155 votes ahead of the far-right PVV of Geert Wilders.

The most pro-EU party just won big in the Dutch election

D66 had a surprise surge, tripling their seats in yesterday's Netherlands election—and its openly gay leader Rob Jetten is set to become prime minister.

Definitely not in my top five, probably not in my top ten.

We have had surveys that have shown us exactly this in the UK, France, the EU etc for many years

What we need to ask ourselves is why have journalists, politicians, academics etc chosen to focus on surveys that hype immigration

This is what I explore here:

journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

'Manufactured panic': Immigration not near top of most people's concerns, poll suggests

The cost of living, health, crime, and housing are much higher on people's lists of personal worries, a YouGov survey has suggested.

Well said Lisa Nandy!

Reform have no real answers to anything.

Can we focus more on how victims of sexual violence continue to be failed today and less on the drama of the Royal Family? Then perhaps some good might come from this?

Communication is everything

I’ve had a couple of incidents this week with the NHS, one with me and another with a close relative, in which the lack of communication has played a major role. Before I continue, I must say that the NHS is an amazing organisation. It is one of the best inventions ever and, despite its shortcomings, is something we should be proud of as a nation.
