Underline a few words so they know you really mean business.
- Comment on 1 week ago:
It’s factory farming, if anyone is wondering.
- Comment on BT strikes deal to rescue troubled TalkTalk from administration 1 week ago:
We were on talktalk for over a decade, at least they allowed me to access the mullvad website and dns. We moved to virgin media and I can only access the mull ad site via tor now. Can’t access the dns at all. I was always trash talking talktalk when we were using them, but man, virgin is way worse.
- Comment on NHS bodies in England impose two-year minimum wait for ADHD and autism assessments 1 week ago:
Thank you. Well I just got a message saying the doctor can’t make it. Typical. I should have seen this coming 😪 Sometimes it feels like the universe is telling me something.

just needs a clown wig.
- Comment on NHS bodies in England impose two-year minimum wait for ADHD and autism assessments 2 weeks ago:
Thank you! The one I picked had good reviews. But I’m still freaking out. I had to book it in the morning as I need to use the autism centre so I can have some privacy and all they could offer was 9am, so I’m sure I’m going to have no sleep tonight. I am not a morning person.

- Comment on Henry superfan from Melksham shows off 35-strong vacuum collection 2 weeks ago:
My nephew was obsessed with vacuums when he was little. There was a kid on YouTube called NumaticRules (he must be in his rote teens or early 20s now though) who had a massive collection of Numatics and now I want these two to battle it out. Or just nerd out, either will do.
- Comment on NHS bodies in England impose two-year minimum wait for ADHD and autism assessments 2 weeks ago:
Oh I think you misunderstood. I meant the bit about the crappy diagnoses, I have enough imposter syndrome as it is.
For sure. I would have preferred an NHS face to face one, but they were making me jump through so many hoops (in the end I had to submit a 5 page report on why I think I’m autistic) that my GP said just go for right to choose.
So I’m glad I have the option, but I would also prefer more investment in NHS AND better training, because my own experiences with NHS mental health are pretty bad (see my above reply).
- Comment on NHS bodies in England impose two-year minimum wait for ADHD and autism assessments 2 weeks ago:
I first asked for a referral in 2016. Was told I got my autism referral, but I was just referred to the local mental health services. First psychologist said I sound like I have Aspergers (as it was then) but she can’t diagnose. I got called for another appointment and was told by the second doctor that I can’t have Aspergers because I know what “what’s up” means. She also put a load of lies in my write up and diagnosed me anxiety disorder NOS and tried to push SSRIs on me. The moment I said Aspergers (neither of the doctors even knew I was seeking an assessment), she got antagonistic. “Why now? Why now? Yes but why now?” My mum was with me and she said it was obvious from the start that doctor didn’t want to send me for testing.
So that’s why it took me another 8 years to try again and mostly because I had a really good phobia therapist at the time who pushed me to try again. Ironically, my phobia therapist knew more about neurodivergence than my anxiety therapist, who outright said, “I don’t know anything about autism and I’m not here for that.” And she meant it.
So yeah mental health services in England suck. My uncle died while sectioned.

Oh no don’t say that! I have my assessment under right to choose on Thursday and I’m already worried!
I had to wait 18 months just for my GP to refer me. I spent 3x as long waiting for a referral as I did on the actual waiting list. If I did it via the NHS, it would have been another 18 months on top of that 18 months.

Is that what the IDF calls their magazine?
Sheeran is STILL both siding. He really can’t bear to say genocide bad.
www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cm780ll1de18o
He could easily have defended Macklemore on the basis of them being friends and said he’ll throw his toys out the pram if Macklemore isn’t reinstated. But no, he’d rather make this mealy mouthed apology. We know whose side you’re on, Ed.
The British singer became emotional as he told the crowd his concert was “still a place where everyone is welcome, and everyone here can stand beside people that have opposing views”.
People against genocide can sing alongside people who approve of genocide! How wholesome! Yeah, I hope anyone anti-genocide refused to go.
He said that he had not known “whether this tour would be carrying on” and “whether I even wanted to be an artist at all”, but that he had returned to the stage because he was committed to his fans.
Aww, diddums. At least you get to decide if you want to continue your career. The kids under the rubble didn’t live long enough for that.

This isn’t a civil matter, this is assault, it’s for the criminal justice system, not civil litigation.
- Comment on [Video] Woman assaulted after heckling Nigel Farage at his conference 4 weeks ago:
And people are stupid and hateful enough to believe this bunch of woman-beaters are the party of “protecting our women and girls”.
Why are they not being arrested for assault? It’s right there on video.

They probably used voice to text, and the software misheard “paedo’s president” as people’s president.

- Comment on ‘I wasn’t even listening,’ Farage says of donations scandal meeting 5 weeks ago:
Oh I know. My abusive ex was a fan of Froggie. People like Frogface are attractive to people with a lot of hate in their hearts. Sadly this includes people with trauma who end up listening to hatemongers like him instead of working on the trauma that makes them so angry.
- Comment on ‘I wasn’t even listening,’ Farage says of donations scandal meeting 5 weeks ago:
And jenrick dismissed a woman being beaten over the head with an " oh, boo hoo".
The party of protecting “our wimmin and gurlz”, everyone! 👏🏽👏🏽
- Comment on ‘I wasn’t even listening,’ Farage says of donations scandal meeting 5 weeks ago:
“I don’t listen during important meetings” isn’t the defence you think it is, Five Mil Froggie.
He’s flailing like crazy now, it’s almost embarrassing how pathetic his excuses are getting.

How many of them are anti-genocide protesters? I’m going to go out on a limb and suggest zero.

- Comment on We must end rough sleeping but hostile architecture must go too 1 month ago:
Honestly, I have no idea. It just seems really dumb to make a bench to fit multiple people then block off half of it with a glass ball? It was on a residential street iirc on the way to Boscombe beach.

They make the excuse that that’s the audience they need to reach, but do they not know how algorithms work? Has even one Nazi ever moved away from Nazism because a leftie made a twitter post?

This is one of the worst examples of hostile architecture I’ve personally seen.
- Comment on How can we revitalise the high street? 1 month ago:
Ugh, Bhs. I was there in the end days. Philip Greed would come every now and then. Our tills were held together by rubber bands, staff were using security pins to replace the broken arm ends, and Greed would look around, say there’s some dust in the corner, clear it up, and stroll on. He wouldn’t even talk to the staff directly, according to my colleague. He would whisper to a manager and they’d say it.
Chappell came in once after we’d gone into administration, so he had nothing to do with the business anymore and all the managers flocked around him. I was like, why are you fawning over him, he helped wreck the business and he’s not even your boss anymore.
That place deserved to die, yet it didn’t even have to be that way. Having worked in retail for 15 years, it’s obvious head offices have no freaking clue, but heaven forbid they pay attention to the frontline staff. They just chase pointless KPIs.
