For the past three years I've been hosting guests from the Ukraine, including a girl who is now 13. English is not her first language but she has become absolutely fluent. Shame on #bbcqt for conflating two entirely separate points. And for much else besides.
This is a really appalling editorial error on BBC Question Time
"Apparently one in three children don't speak English as a first language, why does this matter?"
Chair says "have English as a second language"
Caption changes the meaning entirely
"Don't speak fluent English"

Hey Wes, I can save you the trouble. The reason a lot of people are struggling with their mental health in the UK is it fucking sucks here. Aside from usual late-stage capitalism stuff, everything that could be cool about living here has been systematically made worse by people like you, you cunt.
Streeting orders review into mental health and ADHD diagnosis
The health secretary said the aim was to tackle a rising demand for services and the increased pressure on the NHS.

Wow.
TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:
"This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

This was two days ago. Prophesy.
Trump in a room with a very charismatic person results in like half a day of Trump agreeing with everything that person said, so this has the potential to be very, very funny.

@mooseallain.bsky.social Been browsing your site today with a view to buying a drawing for my wife for xmas.
It's impossible to actually read some of the cartoons. Here's an example (PC w/ large monitor).
I can't help thinking I might not be the first potential customer to be put off by this.

@fascinatorfun.bsky.social Hi Fiona, when you repost a whole thread staring with the first post and progressing to the last, it appears in your followers' timelines in reverse order. it's confusing.
Maybe just repost the first post and adding a commentary on why the thread is interesting?

This is absolutely disgraceful.
Is the Reform MP who says she’s driven mad by TV adverts full of Black & Asian people a racist or realist? How many migrants would the Tories expel? & should the UK be selling fighter jets to Türkiye?

If you are admitted to this winter you will be treated by staff who have not been given a COVID vaccination (or who have paid for one out of their own pockets).
That's right, NHS staff are not being given a free jab this winter. Thank goodness they won't be mixing with any vulnerable people!
