Why couldn’t that bird get a sleeping bag like the hamster did? Seems a bit drastic taping it down by the neck

I met another Brit travelling in Thailand who went to hospital with a stomach problem. They didn’t want to treat him until they got a confirmation email from his travel insurance. After they got the email they gave him a massive room to himself, lavished loads of food and drink on him and wouldn’t let him leave after he got better.

Perhaps he’ll be open to looking at all the stuff which has been sold off to the Americans now. I won’t hold my breath.
- Comment on ‘I’m super worried’: fewer UK tourists visiting US amid Trump’s policies and rhetoric 1 month ago:
I’m totally up for this. Yes, some kids will find out how to circumvent it and yes, some parents won’t abide by it but even if a law isn’t completely enforceable it totally changes people’s attitudes on a population level. Look at the ban on smoking in indoor public spaces for example.

- Comment on UK government says anyone working in Britain for the Russian state will have to register and declare what they are doing or face jail 1 month ago:
I wish I could give your comment more than one upvote. I think the vast majority of us are not fully aware that we’re in the middle of an active Russian propaganda campaign. Apparently there are at least 10,000 people in Russia employed full-time on this and a tiny fraction of that here to try and combat it.
I think this is the first time our society has been subject to a state-backed propaganda campaign since the widespread adoption of the internet (which is of course not regulated like ‘legacy media’ is) and so it makes sense that most people aren’t really on their guard for it. The government has no excuse though. They are reported to by the intelligence services, who know exactly what is happening here.

The fact that this is published in the BMJ suggests to me that this is, in fact, an advertisement.

I will sign this. I also wonder whether parliament.uk itself sells behavioural data. I seem to remember getting a ‘share this data with 754 partners’ notice on a gov website once…

Yeah, it was the same for me. And I think you’re right about the lockdowns too. Apparently those kids even have lower IQs as a result…
