@lemonodor That sucks hugely ☹️ @abigaildisney any chance of using your platform to try to pressure the suits to offer paid furlough?

@PlayingSane @matthaig1 @caitlinmoran @SarahMillican75 @TheStage @IndustryMindsUK @talkcommunity1 @EquityUK @SpotlightUK @Rubywax @ShentonStage I am attempting different bread recipes and will today start growing "grandson of Albert" my new sourdough starter. Let's see if I can keep him alive during the plague times!

THREAD. I finally managed to get through to the coronavirus team and to say that it did not go well would be a gross understatement.

Thank you to the 1000s of #freelancers who responded to my call for evidence on how #COVIDー19 has affected them.

I’m overwhelmed & humbled.

Using your stories, I will be asking govt for a temporary universal basic income guarantee that includes #freelancers & #selfemployed.

[Kevin Brennan @KevinBrennanMP]

A temporary universal basic income guarantee is needed from the Government in the current public health crisis to include freelancers and the self employed

@themikepan Hopefully this is something being worked on as part of the mythical asset management update that has been talked about for the past 10 years yet has never actually gone beyond some wireframes as far as I can tell

[Richard Rose @RicheyRose]

@soozibags @matthaig1 Except they're not. Unless you think advising older to people to avoid cruises, stopping testing unless you're admitted to hospital and advising that you don't need to self isolate if you live with someone with coronavirus symptoms will slow the spread...

[Richard Rose @RicheyRose]

@sunny_hundal No. Rational people looked at the overwhelming consensus amongst experts that Brexit was a bad idea and disregarded the tiny minority who said it would all be fine. This is what people are again doing. It is not ideological, it is about trusting the consensus view of experts

@damocrat Because every other medical expert and country is taking a different tack and the gov is balancing the health impacts with the economic impacts based on their own priorities which are largely based around not caring if little people die as long as they continue to make money.

[Richard Rose @RicheyRose]

@mrjamesob Broad consensus of who? The broad consensus of medical professionals I work with is that we're utterly fucked and completely unprepared compared to other countries...

@faisalislam Herd immunity is what you get when you either have sufficient people immunised against a disease that it can't spread (we have no vaccine) or when everyone has already had it and it has killed everyone it is going to kill. Encouraging this process is an interesting plan

@geekylonglegs @chick_in_kiev Here in the UK we have a wonderful woman Jack Monroe who writes cooking on a budget (£1-£2 a day) recipes including an entire book of recipes from only tins. All recipes are also free online. Very very good for these situations https://t.co/8H5l0OQ0Ar

UNIFIED CUTLERY THEORY

This is a combination of Spoon Theory, Fork Theory and Knife Theory, metaphors used to help disabled people explain fatigue and stressors to themselves and abled people.

Abled friends please share! This cost me many spoons and I'm well into knives.

@RealSexyCyborg @philh8714 @Gin_ev_ra It pains me to say it but this is the case in the UK. Even our "left" newspapers are overwhelmingly staffed by privately schooled, Oxbridge educated scions of the upper and upper middle classes. It makes for very distorted reporting ☹️

[Richard Rose @RicheyRose]

@pgcd @BrentNYT @GreatDismal @jbouie But that would involve criticising the Hegelian world view from which we also derive Marxism, phenomenology, psychoanalysis, continental philosophy, critical theory etc...

[Richard Rose @RicheyRose]

@chris_bish_78 @drjanaway Remember when you ask someone with serious MH issues to give you their history you are asking them to recount all the most unpleasant and traumatic incidents in their life to a stranger, usually at a point where they are at their most vulnerable.

@avarakai @Pady_oFurniture @Doddford @db_is_db @Debbie_abrahams Oh look children... A racist moron 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

[Richard Rose @RicheyRose]

@StevePeers @cliodiaspora Oh yeah, it's vastly more complex than the stereotype I just find it interesting to see where these stereotypes originate and how they match up to reality as stereotypes (strongly?) shape people's thinking and the discussion of these topics
