@ScotteeIsFat @TheTabbyLamb Same. I work for the library now, zero chance of me being an independent producer in this climate. That's just how it is, no shame.
#kids makes a clear case of why we need robust transitional safeguarding. The support and care for young people shouldn't be stopped at 18, the current system is failing them.
@midgittebardot @ScotteeIsFat Second this, and interesting to hear about route of least paperwork as I always suspected that the reject and reapply was built into their model. Also if living with someone worth getting them to have a look as they might pick up on things you haven't.
@ScotteeIsFat I sometimes imagine his warm embrace on a sunny but brisk Spring afternoon. I'm having a gentle sob into his waxy coat, he doesn't say anything but I know he is telling me everything is going to be okay.
@AmyCMason All these clips feel like a damning reminder of where we are at now. The awful, shitty, 'not in front of the kids' rhetoric that is taking a grip. RIP Paul O Grady you paved a way.
