Motability FACTS:
- you ONLY get access to the scheme if you receive the mobility component of PIP.
- claiming the mobility component of PIP is extremely difficult, many people with mobility issues don't get it.
- Motability cars cost a significant portion of claimants PIP Mobility payments.

escapism is the only way I can cope with reality tbh, I need to engross myself in fictional worlds because anything seems preferable to thinking about this one at times.

Left YIMBY's baffle me for real, like how can you call yourself a Socialist whilst backing the worst kind of predatory capitalists in property developers?
won't fix anything either, we need to fix the housing market, not flood it with more top end supply, same approach has failed for decades ffs.

absolutely wild to me that people on the Left are celebrating Labour's YIMBY charter that will do NOTHING to solve the housing crisis (indeed, Labour are REDUCING the % of houses build that need to be social/affordable) and gives large property developers freedom to destroy UK environment.

all that hype over the Epstein files and the only real takeaways from it so far are celebrity title tattle and allegations based on almost nothing.
anyone else seriously underwhelmed? no wonder Trump was okay with this coming out, so far there's nothing that's going to really damage him or anyone.

who'd have thought one of the people who wrote "Little Britain" was a piece of crap, not like the entire show was gutter comedy mocking the most vulnerable people in society in a really crass way or anything.
Every time there's a breaking story about a celeb's treatment of women, everyone in the book world asks, "Is it finally Walliams?" Well, it finally is.

"who are your favourite revolutionaries?"
honestly I don't have many, most of the answers people give to that question were pretty awful human beings imo.
I like Karl Marx and Rosa Luxemboug but I don't idolise either or pretend either was perfect, I think it's a very reactionary thing to do so.

Imagine if the UK was a functioning democracy, upper class crooks would be dealt with and sent to jail.
German prosecutors bring criminal charges against three Greensill Bank officials for role in the 2021 collapse of the lender.
UK would have given them public honours, crony contracts, buried prosecutions; just like the Post Office and Grenfell scandals.

said it before, will say it again, the political establishment in the UK read 1984 not as warning, but as an aspiration. the only difference is that Big Brother isn't a "Communist" state as Orwell imagined, instead a Corporate State. (Orwell saw the right warning signs but blamed the wrong ideology)
Can't say "I s****t Palestine Action"
Can't say "g*****e the Intifada"
Can we still say "Nakba"? How long before people are arrested for saying "Stop killing Palestinians" or "End the war crimes"?
We are fully at the stage of history called by Orwell:

as Roman Abramovic is now in Israel, is there not a case to say we should be giving some of his money to Gaza as well as Ukraine? as he is a friend to the both Israeli war criminals and Russian ones.

if we can seize Russian money and give it to Ukraine...why don't we do the same with Israeli money? find any Israeli oligarchs, seize their money and assets and send it to Gaza to help them rebuild.

cats are not that bright, my cat pestered me to go outside, despite the weather being atrocious (heavy rain and strong winds) but he pestered anyway, so I opened the door, he took one paw step outside and came back in, meanwhile I got a gust of rain to the face.
I love my cat, but he's an idiot.

in English one could paraphrase this as "shake it off"

British politics is a mess. Food, energy, housing are all too expensive. Major parties are all flogging the dead horse of trickle down. So I’m joining the Green Party. Britain needs an economy that works for workers, for small businesses, and future generations. @greenparty.org.uk

"the rules based international order is collapsing"

where were these rules during the Cold War?
during Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya?
where were they during any of Israel's attacks on the Palestinians, Syria, Lebanon?
you cannot enforce rules on others that you ignore yourself.
