What’s the point of Starmer’s Labour if it won’t stand up for poor, sick or disabled people? | Frances Ryan

  • Thank you, that was fascinating. Especially the part about how trauma goes through generations.

  • We could not afford to keep him. We got so attached to him and his littermates.His mum had them secretly under a hedge and tuned up with them at the back door. They were pretty feral to start with. But not Kevin, he just marched in behind his mum,found the food and sofa and behaved as if he was born to it. It took us weeks to tame the others, but eventually they were ready to be homed. They are spaced across all our neighbours and Kevin often waits on the garden wall for his mum to come out. I miss them, but the money paid for his mum to be fixed, vaccinated and has a better life now. Sometimes love means letting them go.

  • Being able to put the heating on for the days of Christmas would be nice. It is very cold.

  • The only correct answer, the past, was the worst. I like having antibiotics, not dying in childbirth, hot running water e.t.

  • I thought this sounded insane but the mirror, the times, the daily mail and others are also reporting it. We live in interesting times.

  • She might also have a high rent, she will not have got any benefits till her savings fall below 16k and only got full benefits after it falls below 6k.

  • And then employers moan that nobody wants to work and that young people all leave the country.

  • Yes, they tried it before, more than once, but it turned into a complete clusterfuck. The placements were meant to teach people new skills to help them find work. But most placements ended up being stocking shelves and other completely unskilled jobs. Employers also didn't particularly want to be supervising people who clearly didn't want to be there, let alone spend time teaching them new skills. So these placements just provided cheap labour, since the government paid employers to take them on. It also led to people being fired under spurious reasons only to find themselves being placed themselves at their previous employer.

  • I agree with everything you said, and I do think the BBC is amazing. But for me and many people, the reality is that it is just too expensive . I am on a very limited budged and simply can't afford it. I also don't have any other subscriptions. I wish they scrambled their signal and people could choose to subscribe for a month and then drop it when they can't afford it. I should not be forced to pay for a service when I don't want it. I haven't owned a TV in over a decade.
    Furthermore, I did ring them up and informed them of not needing a licence, and it worked for a while but then they started with the threatening letters again, they are pretty nasty in tone, which I find appealing.

  • Religion and the fear of "woke" things being taught to their children like evolution, sex education, history,science.....

  • "Some reported Israeli soldiers firing at them and said they passed bodies strewn alongside the road."
