China urged the United States not to use other countries as an excuse to pursue its own interests, after President Trump said the US needed to own Greenland to prevent Russia or China from occupying it in the future
Europe have the capabilities to become a superpower. As a Brit I think we should do this together. Work needs to be done but after this whole episode with Venezuela it confirms to me that the US and Russia are not so different. Kick out the US and NATO could become the force of GOOD.
I have severe depression, anxiety, and PTSD. Been medicated for over a decade. An eating disorder nearly killed me and I’ve been hospitalised for my mental health more times than I can count.
But I’ve still worked since I was 16 and would never dream of claiming disability benefits.
I’ve worked 20+ hours per week since I was 16, holding down three jobs at a time on top of full-time education.
Even when it gets so bad I can’t brush my teeth, eat, or get out of bed. Even when there are days I can’t step outside of the house without having a panic attack. Even when I’ve been in hospital on the verge of organ failure because my eating disorder got so bad.
I absolutely reject the claim that this woman “can’t work” because of mild anxiety… while she is talking on Question Time in front of an audience of millions.
She said she’s worked before, but it’s hard to find a job and “even harder when you’re anxious”.
There is a difference between struggling with mental health, or even being diagnosed with a mild mental disorder, and being clinically unfit for work.
There are people with severe mental health disorders who really can’t maintain meaningful employment. People who have severe schizophrenia, anorexia nervosa, low-functioning autism, or other conditions that make it impossible to either get or keep a job.
And there are people with mental and physical illnesses who would give anything to be in that woman’s position — to be able to travel to a TV studio, sit in a packed audience and speak to millions on national telly.
They would kill to have the healthy body and abundance of opportunities that this woman is squandering. And they need the help she so shamelessly takes advantage of.
It’s laziness and entitlement.
Simple as.
People like her are the reason that millions of legitimately disabled people are tarnished with the same brush, or denied vital services and financial aid from our limited taxpayer coffers.
Shame on her.
This woman is explaining why she’s unemployed and claiming benefits for anxiety… WHILE TALKING ON NATIONAL TV.
The absolute cheek of it.
Nobody should be on benefits for “mild anxiety” — especially not when they can sit in a packed studio audience and speak on live telly.
I’m diagnosed with an anxiety disorder, PTSD, and severe depression. Been on meds for over a decade and hospitalised for my mental health. Some days are so bad that brushing my teeth or getting out of bed is near impossible.
But I’ve still worked 20+ hours per week since I was 16, holding down three jobs at a time on top of full-time education.
I absolutely reject the claim that she “can’t work” because of her anxiety.
It’s laziness and entitlement.

There are people with severe mental health disorders who really can’t maintain meaningful employment, like schizophrenia, low-functioning autism, or anorexia nervosa.
And there are people with physical illnesses who would give anything to be in this woman’s position — with a healthy body and an abundance of opportunities available to her.
Frankly, how dare she.
People like this are a major reason why the welfare state has ballooned to unsustainable levels, and why those who really do need the support won’t be able to access it.
She makes a mockery of the system.
Shame on her, and all those like her.
How are Rangers fans calling Danny Rohl a “Yes man”?
He left discussions with Rangers initially and they came back to him. He fell out with Dejphon Chansiri multiple times over disagreements and ultimately forced himself an exit from the club.
That is quite the opposite of a Yes man…
You’ve got yourself a serious manager there who gonna make you eat your words.
