Anyone able to give me career advice about how to become a Thames Water executive? Doesn't look hard to do and you keep getting bonuses!

Great. More money flowing upwards into the pockets of the billionaire industrialists who own weapons manufacturing. Plus the joy of watching their media wind everyone up into hysteria about a war. If we're really lucky they'll then provoke a war and cause millions of us to die in the first blasts and then millions more in the radioactive wastelands afterwards.

Help me out here? Aren’t these the same groups calling for freedom of speech and against cancel culture. It’s all so confusing.

I joined as soon as it was open. Very quickly it was full of junk TiKtok videos (many with the Tiktok logo). As others have said you have to keep scrolling through the same videos in the same order to see anything new.

The feature that’s missing is some sort of “filter creator” that would enable users to build their own algos.

(To be fair, I can’t see why Tiktok works as an app other than as some global-scale brainwashing tool.)

Those Farage-saluting farmers literally blocking roads with their tractors? Cheered on as the “Farmy Army” by the press. It’s completely different, isn’t it and, of course, tractors can’t cause accidents and never stop ambulances from passing.

Time for UK to become Limitarian. Tax the excessively rich at 100% above £10 million. No one needs more money than that.

so crushingly dull that it destroys any natural curiosity that kids have

You are right. Children have a much earlier start to school in the UK compared to other countries. This cuts short the time of their “play-based” development. By Year 1 (about 5-6) children in UK primary schools are sat at desks and taught in quite bizarre ways. From Reception (ages 4-5) they are tested continuously to a point where UK children are the most tested children in the Western World. Other, more successful countries (educationally and economically) don’t do this. We have a weird, damaging obsession with testing children and placing them into hierarchies in this country. When testing becomes the purpose and goal of an education system it is, as you say “so crushingly dull”.

It's not astonishing, it's calculated. Listen to the media when doctors ask for a pay rise. They're told they're being greedy and that it's "not reasonable" to ask for £20 an hour.

Meanwhile the billionaires think that it IS reasonable to put up energy bills 200%+ and increase food prices beyond anything seen in previous generations.

It's not even "higher quality". This profiteering is forcing British families into severe hardship. We have something like 2 million children living in poverty. All while some foreign corporation is ringing the cash registers.

Going to university is far more than getting a qualification. It's part of enabling young people to develop as people intellectually and socially. This is something that the Tories don't understand. They want to monetise everything. Including the interests and aspirations of people. Tories have wrecked primary and secondary education and now want to finish off post-compulsory learning. They really are below vermin.

The stench of homophobia hanging around this story is vile.

All today's newspaper front pages (except The Star that ran something about Klingons travelling to Mars?) decided this is the biggest thing going on in the cuntry today. Meanwhile, Bank of England tells us that 1 million households will be paying an additional £500 a month on their mortgages and that it's ok because the banks will be able to deal with all the defaults on payments.

This cuntry has lost the plot!

But there is currently no legal definition for vegan food, allowing firms to market their products as being so even if they contain dairy or egg.

This is quite alarming. It must mean that there is no regulation to ensure that vegan products are actually animal-free.
