I can’t help but think that adhd isn’t a ~problem~ as such it’s just that our brains aren’t wired for capitalism and our conditions don’t meet our needs and medicating half the population is probs not the best solution
This article can be summarised as: BBC journalist lies about experiencing ADHD symptoms, has two people fill out friend & family forms to back up fake symptoms, and then is shocked to find he gets diagnosed with ADHD? Hope this was worth your journalism degree mate
Not to say that adhd isn’t real and debilitating but when such a huge % of the population are deemed to be neurodivergent and/or mentally ill like…. Maybe it’s not our brains that are the main problem?
Just received this from HMRC - in 2016 I was 20 and earned minimum wage in a pub. Apparently I should have filed a tax return, and was fined £12 for doing so. This is honestly the first I’ve heard of this 7 years later and the amount i apparently owe is now over £800? Get fucked.
There's no legal basis for police to stop & swab people on the street
❓If you're ever stopped by an officer, ask 'Am I being detained?'
🚶If the answer is no, you're free to walk away
❓If yes or you're asked to do something, ask 'Under what power?'

we've spent 30+ years building walls taller and taller around these islands and still people come. the hardening of our borders will not stop the migration of peoples (which has been happening for millennia), it will simply cause more of them to die needless, senseless deaths.
Around 8.30pm last Friday, Sabina Nessa was murdered.
She was on what should have been a 5min walk from her home on Astell Rd, through Cater Park, to see a friend in a pub.
ANYONE in the area who might have seen her, or any suspicious behaviour, is urged to contact police.
1/3 Today we witnessed Border Force practising pushbacks. 2 of our vols watched in horror as dinghies, full of Border Force staff wearing life jackets, were forcibly turned around by two or three jet skis using techniques such as circling the boats and nudging with the jet skis.
